#135 2020 Nova Scotia Massacres Part 1

This week, we're starting a series that we have been talking about for a long time, since we started this podcast, in fact. This is the first episode of what will be our longest series yet, because we're finally tackling the 2020 Nova Scotia Massacres, which was the worst spree killing in Canadian history. Buckle up, because this is going to be a very long one.
In this episode, we get into an overview of what happened on the first night of the massacres, a quick bio of the shooter, Gabriel Wortman, a fast rundown of Nova Scotia geography, as well as how Mark doesn't believe children are people until about age 7, why family vaction fistfights are frowned upon, the grisly realities of murder, and finally, june bug badminton. As always, this one is a lot, and it's literally just the beginning.
