|
| rdfs:comment | - On December 6th, 1989, Marc Lépine walked into l'École Polytechnique in Montreal. Armed with a gun he walked through the corridors of the school and killed a few women before holding a classroom hostage and killing 10 women found in the classroom. Only women were targetted, in total 14 were killed, and in the suicide note left on his body Lépine commented that he was commiting suicide for political reasons, that Feminists angered him for trying to 'steal privilege from men.' This is distinctly considered an act of terrorism against women.
