Terrorists, who hate women

25-year-old Marc Lépine sat on the floor before the university secretary’s office. He was on the 2nd floor of the École Polytechnique, a three-story engineering school affiliated with the Université de Montréal in Montreal, Canada. He had arrived shortly before this Wednesday, 6 December 1989. Marc Lépine rummaged a little in a plastic bag. He looked pretty lost as he sat there, and most of all, he looked like someone who had been burned by a date. He didn’t make eye contact with anyone, and he didn’t talk to anyone. His posture was stiff, and he had a grim expression. Finally, an employee approached him and asked if she could help him. Marc Lépine did not answer, but got up, took his bag and left. The employee shrugged. Many students were tired and worn out at the end of the semester.

But Marc Lépine was not a tired student. In fact, he was not a student, either at the École Polytechnique or at any other university. Marc Lépine was a man on a mission. A crazy idea had formed in his head, sending him on a terrorist mission that would end up costing the lives of 14 innocent people. That is, in Marc Lépine’s own mind, they were the root of all evil. The 14 people had one thing in common, they were women.
