1.) re: École Polytechnique massacre:

Killing one’s self after killing others (multiple homicide/suicide strategy) is considered a sign of a serious personality disorder.

A memorial erected in Vancouver sparked controversy because it was dedicated to "all women murdered by men", which critics say implies all men are potential murderers. As a result, women involved in the project received death threats and the Vancouver Park Board subsequently banned any future memorials that might "antagonize" other groups.
