On Sunday, I wrote my thoughts about the massacre in Nova Scotia.
When I wrote about the massacre the death toll was 16. As of this writing it is 19 and the RCMP expects this total will rise as at least five homes were burned to the ground by the assailant during his killing spree and more bodies are expected to be recovered. In all, 16 separate crime scenes are being investigated. To give one an idea of the evil wrought the victims of this massacre were both known to the killer as well as those who were complete strangers. This on top of being disguised as a Mountie. Just when you think you've heard it all there is a new strain of evil for which there is no vaccine.
UPDATE: The news did get worse. The death toll has risen to 22.
If that wasn't enough questions are being asked to why the Nova Scotia government didn't issue a province wide alert and Premier Stephen McNeil has pointed the finger to the RCMP. No doubt there will be an inquiry as to whether this would have prevented further deaths.
