Cliford Olson started off doing crime when he was in his teen years. While in B.C. Penitentiary in 1974, sexually attacked a 17-year-old fellow inmate. when he was released he indecently assaulted a 7-year-old girl in Nova Scotia. This was the beginning of his sexually deviant and murderous criminal activity.
He crashed his car with his 16-year-old female passenger in Agassiz. Olson had picked her up in the Cottonwood Avenue and North Road area of Coquitlam. Although the young girl could not be convinced that Olson was a sex offender, she did tell the police that he had offered her a job, had bought her drinks and given her pills. She palmed one of the tiny emerald knock-out pills.The laboratory identified it as chloral hydrate, commonly known as knock-out drops. Olson was not easy to follow because the “watchers” claimed that he would stop in the middle of the street, make sudden inexplicable U-turns, and go down one-way alleys, stop, and reverse. After burglarizing two Victoria residences, he his way up north towards Nanaimo. He pulled over to the side of the road to pick up two young women hitchhiking. Hitchhiking was a popular mode of travel for the young in 1981.The women were confused, but safe. Olson said they had only stopped so he could relieve himself. Police charged him with impaired and dangerous driving, impounded his car, and took him to local lock-up. The police searched his rented car and found a green address book with the name of the 14-year-old New Westminster girl—Judy Kozma. Olson had killed 10 children in southern British Columbia, by the time he was finished, 11 would be dead. The “Cash-for-bodies” Deal. “I’ll give you eleven bodies for $100,000. The first one will be a freebie,” Olson offered the police.
Marc Lepine had a green plastic bag with him, although no one realized that inside was a lethal weapon, and beneath his sweater he had strapped on a sheath containing a six-inch hunting knife. the armed man strode toward classroom 230 (some say 303). This was the moment. He had attached a high-capacity banana clip magazine so he could fire 30 rounds in quick succession, and he had plenty of ammunition.Lépine had killed 14 women and wounded 13 other students of both genders. Yet there were more victims as well. All of the families would bear their own scars from the 20-minute siege.Lépine’s stated intention of killing feminists as a political statement, and as a way to scare women back to their traditional roles, shocked people around the world. Yet it was not the first such hate-inspired massacre. Like others before it and still to come, it was fueled by a frustration that can build into a hardened anger and a need to blame an outside person. Some psychologists call it a catathymic reaction
i dont belive that it will ever be possible to stop these actions but the police officers could prevent some of the people that do what they do.
