Shooting at a Montreal college campus. The cafeteria where the shooting took place is known as "Jew cafe". I am sure there will be a media black out on the jew hate aspect of the shooting. hat tip Norman
UPDATE: It was not antisemitism.
Ambulance officials say six people have been injured in a shooting at Montreal's Dawson College, and three of them are in critical condition.
However, there are unconfirmed reports that four people are dead, and 16 injured.
There are also reports that two shooters are dead -- one by suicide and the other shot by police.
This, after one student says a man dressed in military fatigues stormed into the cafeteria of the college today and began shooting at approximately 12:45 this afternoon. More here
Update: Norman further writes
I don't know if you remember the massacre in Montreal seventeen years ago. On Nov. 21 1989 Marc Lepine entered a classroom in the École Polytechnique de Montréal. He told the men to leave and proceeded to kill the women - 14 women were killed, with an additional 12 men and women injured. This brought the gun control lobby to the forefront of Canadian consciousness. If we banned guns, things like this wouldn't happen.
What the media didn't tell us was that Marc Lepine's birth name was Gamil Gharbi, and that he was the son of an Algerian Muslim immigrant Liess Gharbi. His friends recounted that before the mass murder Marc Lepine became very religious (Islamic). He compiled a hit list of 19 high profile Quebec women he planned to kill. He hated "feminists".
Somehow I don't think the root cause of the Montreal massacre was Marc Lepine's access to guns.
UPDATE: Further evidence of the "Jewish" theory;
Someone called in to the Peter Sherman show on CFRB and said that this cafeteria - one of many, the school has 10,000 students, was called the "Jew Cafe" by the kids there. The feed was live, so I don't know if they've archived it. In Quebec they have "colleges" CJEPs where kids go after High School and before University. It's not a University, it's a High School.
Listen here to the call in show and more on the killings at the Free Republic.
UPDATE: Thye are calling it random. I want to know the madman's motive.
UPDATE: The guy hates everybody it seems. Appears not to be a hate crime . This from Volokh here
Some news organizations have identified the gunman who walked into a Montreal
school, opened fire, and then turned a school cafeteria into a "shooting gallery." According to reports on CNEWS, he is Canadian-born Kimveer Gill, age 25:
CNEWS: "Kimveer Gill, 25, of Laval poses for a photo posted on the goth website VampireFreaks.com in a long black coat toting a rifle —- a chilling look at the man Sun sources have identified as the gunman who opened fire on students at Montreal’s Dawson College yesterday, killing one woman and injuring 19."

It seems that the murderer, Kimveer Gill, "fatality666", was not obsessed with Jews; he was a Goth obsessed with killing people in general. Apparently "Jew Cafe" was the nickname of that cafeteria - but he may not have even known that. The term "Jew Cafe" was mentioned by callers to CFRA and CFRB.
He also said that he hated President Bush, the American government, anyone supporting the American government and religious people - a long list. A real nihilist. Here are some links, here and here and here.










But wait, doesn't Dawson College have rules prohibiting carrying weapons on campus?? Most other schools in the USA and Canada have this.... ? Gee, the rules should have stopped the attackers.
I agree, Pamela. It really stinks that if the attackers were Muslims, the media will whitewash that out.

Two of my readers. One a Canadian and the other, a reader whose previous tips have been spot on. Everytime.
If I am wrong.........I'll say so.

I've been waiting all afternoon for CNN or anyone else to release this killer idiot's name. He's repeatedly described as your basic military nut, in fatigues, with a mohawk haircut. Makes it sound like one of those far-west neonazis out of Montana or Utah or someplace. It will be ironic if, in "multicultural" Montreal, a MUSLIM was the shooter. Hmmm. If so, no one will tell us. No sense in getting MORE Muslims all stirred up in the frozen north. Maybe this guy was your basic home-grown Canucknut. We shall see, said the blind man...

Oh, gotcha. I had been wondering if there was a source I could site.

If he's white, his picture will be PLASTERED on every paper printed by the 5th Column tomorrow.
If he's not white - I say there's no picture.
We've already heard the witnesses on the news saying "he was white" several times. If he had been black or muslim, they would have "bleeped out" the color.
The 5th Column is wishing and hoping* that it's not a muslim so they can show the world that America is full of Islamophobia.
*(I would say "praying" but I forgot, they're secular)

As someone who graduated from Dawson in 2003, I can confirm that the third floor cafeteria is known as the Jew-Caf.
I can also confirm that the attack DID NOT occur in the Jew-Caf and that Federation CJA (the mouthpiece for the Montreal Jewish community) has said as much.

According to this source: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1992624.cms
Kimveer Gill is a Sikh Canadian, in addition to being a goth.
