A document released on Monday describes disturbing episodes in the gunman’s life that range from his mistreatment as a child through his adult diagnosis as a ‘narcissistic personality’ whose rage could erupt in a moment

Domestic violence extended back generations in the family of the man who carried out the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia, a document released Monday by a public inquiry reveals.

Alan Wortman, the killer’s uncle, told the RCMP that the killer’s paternal grandfather “was violent” with his children, including the killer’s father, and that this pattern continued into the perpetrator’s upbringing. One of the killer’s uncles, Alan Wortman, told the RCMP that as a teenager he saw Gabriel Wortman’s father assault his wife at a Christmas dinner. “She said something and he struck her, knocked her onto the floor and kicked her and kicked her and kicked her,” he told police. “I said, ‘You have to stop doing that. Stop it.”’ Another uncle, Glynn Wortman, who babysat the killer when he was a toddler, is reported as telling police that he once witnessed Evelyn Wortman being choked by her husband.

The legacy of a dysfunctional relationship with his parents emerged in Gabriel Wortman’s adult life, according to the relatives and his spouse.

Brainwashed guy used by the CIA to create false flags

I am puzzled. What does any of this have to do with the people he murdered? Red flags were ignored many times. Ultimately, the RCMP are to blame for the all that went down. They were not doing their job before, during and after.
