BBC: Two dead and five wounded in Quebec stabbing.

Murderer guy is from the Montreal North Shore, but they didn't pinpoint where he's from exactly for now. Lots of details are being held while he's being interrogated.

He threatened to do an act like this about 5 years ago.

Ugh.

Why didn't they take the sword away from him before?

I don't think that would have accomplished anything, since he could easily get another one.

Katana isn't considered as a prohibited weapon.

In the case his would have been seized back then, he could easily buy another one elsewhere.

The problem is this guy was allowed to keep a lethal weapon after making those threats in the past.

Yea I was one of the first to be noticed (SO is a nurse) before the news hit and it's pretty fucked up. I know people who live <500m from where the attacks occurred. Some of the victims got their fingers slashed. Imagine just walking and getting killed by a katana-wielding psycho on Halloween. Straight out of a horror movie.

You've got to wonder what make someone to wake up one morning and go "Alright. One year from now, on Halloween's day, I will dress up in a medieval costume , drive for 250km to another city and start slashing people up with my katana."

I mean, that's one whole messed up plan to come up with.

So the guy had a katana and it was not targeted attacks they were random people he attacked

He could have just gone to Canadian Tire and bought a machete, not much you can do to keep someone away from a blade weapon.

 

[super moustique]

Whoa, what the fuck... Yeah he probably used Halloween as a cover to dress up with a sword and go nuts. :(

Yup, that's what I was thinking as well. This shit would be even more frightening if that's the case.
