Justice Was Delivered at 1,100 Feet per Second

 

RCMP Constable Heidi Stevenson

Justice was delayed for the victims and their survivors in the mass Nova Scotia shooting for about 14 hours, but it did come, albeit too late for 23 victims of his senseless rampage. There will be some that will agonize over the shooter’s motive. I will not be one of them. I redacted the shooter’s name from the news article that is contained in this essay. Good and evil exists.

The only voices that really matter will be those who lost their loved ones in Nova Scotia. They have the right to express their grief, they have the right to be heard. The only names that should be mentioned are the names of the victims in this horrific attack.

From the NY Post:

Neighbors of [name of the killer redacted] in the rural town of Portapique told the Globe and Mail that the madman was a millionaire who struggled with alcohol.

The killer appeared to have started out with “an initial motivation’’ that “turned to randomness,’’ RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki told the CBC. The mass murderer — who had been obsessed with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police since high school — wore an RCMP uniform and drove around in a decommissioned cop car for part of his siege, officials said.

Authorities said he drove around that night knocking on residents’ doors and pulling over drivers to find victims.
Given his cop uniform, [name of the killer redacted] — most of whom were quarantined in their homes because of the coronavirus — “would have trusted him’’ enough to open the door, a source told the Sun.

Those killed included “a mom and dad [shot dead] in front of their own children,’’ a police source told the Sun.

They also included RCMP Constable Heidi Stevenson, a married mother of two, a 23-year veteran of Canada’s famed police force, who at one point rammed her cruiser into the shooters vehicle to try to stop him, sources told the Sun.
The shooter then “shot her in the chest with a bunch of rounds,’’ a source said.

Then he “pulled her out of the car and executed her point-blank . . . took her gun and [ammo], burned his own car and took her car,’’ the source said.

Rest in peace, Constable Stevenson.

He carjacked several other vehicles in a bid to elude cops, officials said.

The killer was finally cornered at a gas station in a nearby town and whipped out what is believed to have been Stevenson’s gun before being shot dead in a hail of police bullets, a source told the Sun.

Justice was delivered 14 hours after an evil rampage began in Nova Scotia, at a gas station, at 1,100 feet per second.

May all those families who lost someone they loved find peace someday.

    May the killer burn in hell.  May his name be erased.

    I support the practice of renaming killers to a serial number.  In death, they become nothing more than a statistic, and their final resting place is the landfill, with the other garbage.

    The only difference between a murderer and a mass murderer is the number of people who are pulled into the circle of grief. 

    We live among evil, and do our best to stop it as best we can. We can not eliminate evil, just seek to make good more prevalent. 

    Prayers for all who have been pushed into this circle of grief. May G-d give them strength to seek thoughts of peace and comfort, and people to lovingly  support them.
