The nine dead at Westroads mall in Omaha, NE, and their families.

Exactly 13 months ago, I was there enjoying the ‘community days’ clearances. For the 3 months I lived in Omaha, a few minutes east of Westroads, I was there roughly twice a week.

I feel sad, angry and a little scared for what happened today. I was going to say ‘it could happen here too’, but the fact is it has: Kimveer Gill at Dawson College, downtown Montreal, September 2006 — my boss’ daughter was there, she’s okay but apparently she was pretty shook up.

So here goes. Let there be peace for those who weren’t so lucky, joy again for their families, and safety for all of us, everywhere.
