That day had a heavy impact on my husband and I: he is an MEngg and I was the same age as these women when it happened. We felt so very far away at the time as we were living in England, and couldn't believe that this most horrific incident occurred in our beloved Canada. Hard to believe we still need to work on this issue so diligently.wildroseinindiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08234875951045157885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-47968261619479402632013-12-07T06:17:20.044-04:002013-12-07T06:17:20.044-04:00I never knew about this incident.

I knew nothing of this, but study genocide and opression for a living so I find this both heartwrenching and very necessary to be aware of, personally and professionally. You know, after over a decade of academic work dedicated to understand, process and elaborate genocide, I know many theories and histories around it but it still boggles my mind. I don't think I am ever going to understand it. 12 murdered is 12 too many, and senseless killing is just... sigh... not within my understanding.
