Clifford Olson - Marc Lepine

Clifford Olson and Marc Lepine, were two very cruel human beings. Clifford Olson, responsible of murdering eleven children, he was a serial murderer. While Marc Lepine, responsible of killing fourteen and injuring thirteen others, is an example of a mass murderer.

Clifford Olson had mythotically killed his victims based on their gender, age, appearance etc. Olson had a violent teenage years and his violent past seemed to escalate till eventually he was convicted in July 1981. Olson was not easy for police to track or follow, he spent a lot of time on the road, and was never in one place for a long period of time. Olson was contently changing cars as he rented cars. Olson was also traveling to Vancouver island to commit crimes. Clifford Olson was eventually caught by police and confessed to all of his killings. 

Marc Lepine on the other hand was a much different killer than Olson. Lepine committed all of his killings on one day, in a single twenty minute span fourteen students at the University of Montreal were deceased. Lepine never confessed to police why he killed these students but many believe it was because he was against feminism. He killed himself before police could capture him. Lepine killed his victims at random but he only killed women. 

I believe that it is highly unlikely that you will ever stop these out bursts of crime. It is just to hard to regulate weapons and keep tabs on the people that have them. There could be better ways of dealing with these situations. Police should look into missing persons cases much quicker and more effectively. While a professor should be able to have a concealed weapon to apprehend the perpetrator much quicker.
