Police in Winnipeg, Canada, are warning lawyers, justice officials and business people to watch for suspicious packages after arresting a man for allegedly mailing explosives that severely injured a divorce lawyer on Friday.

Police charged Guido Amsel, 49, with two counts of attempted murder, one count of aggravated assault and weapons offenses, report the Canadian Press and Global News.

Amsel is accused of sending the bomb to the offices of Maria Mitousis, 38, who represented Amsel’s former wife in the couple’s divorce and a lawsuit. Mitousis reportedly lost her hand when the package bomb exploded at her law firm, Petersen King, according to a previous Canadian Press story.

Police also found bombs at a business and at another law firm, Orle, Barkman and Davidson, which had

represented Amsel’s former wife in another suit involving a business the couple had started.

Police believe a Canadian businessman shot and killed his lawyer and a pregnant notary on Thursday before killing his two sons and himself the next day.

The businessman, 52-year-old Michel Dubuc of Boucherville, was found dead on Friday along with his two sons, ages 21 and 19, in their suburban Montreal home as a fire was beginning to burn in the master bedroom, report CBC News in stories here and here, the Globe and Mail and the StarPhoenix.

Police believe Dubuc shot his lawyer, Benoit Cote, at his Terrebonne law office along with a notary, Marie-Josée Sills, 30, who rented office space there. Both were hospitalized and later died.

Dubuc had filed a $1.2 million suit against Cote and two others that alleged Cote persuaded Dubuc to loan $500,000 to another client of Cote’s to buy a bar, but the money was not repaid in 2011 as called for in the agreement. The bar closed in 2013.

Dubuc’s two sons lived with their mother, who called police because she was worried about the safety of her loved ones. A friend of the ex-wife said Sunday was the anniversary of her new marriage as well as her 51st birthday.

So the marxist solution would be what?

Ban lawyers?

Ban mail?

Charges of attempted murder were laid against a man alleged to have mailed an explosive device that severely injured someone. This is Winnipeg, Manitoba.

In a mass-murder plus apparent suicide, five people are dead in Boucherville, Quebec.

I will take a run at a non-Marxist solution, in the context of non-Marxist Canadian law and police procedure: WARN potential targets to be alert to suspicious packages sent through the mail. TRY for attempted murder the miscreant alleged to have sent more than one bomb in the mail. BURY the murderer and his victims in Boucherville. PUBLICIZE the cases in today's news in case police attention is needed in several or many troubling family-law disputes.

Adam, do you have a reasoned and reasonable solution to attempted murder and murder-suicide? If not, why don't you sketch out your imaginary Marxist response/solution to the problem of murder?

You might start by noting murders over the last few days in the USA. What is a Marxist to do? I'll hang up and listen.

Murder-suicide is a sense of extreme victimhood in action. You have a bond with those to be killed so they get killed too, not just you. Maybe that airplane pilot had bonded similarly with his passengers. Who knows? But it's not the victims to be focused on but the nature of suicidal depression. You be the victim. You get angry. You repress the anger so you no longer feel it. The result is depression. A loop may be formed in which you blame some others not for the repressed anger but your depression. That is, you now feel the sequence is first vistimhood, second depression, third striking back and getting even. Or, suicide is revenge. Other victims you take with you the more the revenge. Their deaths and yours are all on the victimizers.

I'm talking about murder-suicide. I'm not saying there's not another cause or causes for depression and suicide. One may be suffering from intolerable physical pain or disability. Etc.

These are well-thought-out considerations, and part of criminology and a fascination with folks the world over (just check the sales stats on Murder Mysteriies and True Crime genres). We want to know what makes people do atrociously destructive things, destroy other peoples' and their own lives.

My only quibble with your opinions here would be that Depression can certainly be co-existent with Anger and even Rage. There is no sure psychological ground beneath the notion that "repressed" anger becomes depression. This is Greg Mamishian's psyche-whoopee and schematic. It is a confection. A fictional stricture and behavioural process.

Not that a person may not learn to 'de-escalate' or 'reprogram' his or her emotions. In this sense, of course one can 'repress' anger. But there is no mental hydraulics that cause the repressed element to reappear under pressure in another area of the mind. That is old-fashioned Freudianism and it is crap.

I'm talking about murder-suicide. I'm not saying there's not another cause or causes for depression and suicide. One may be suffering from intolerable physical pain or disability. Etc.

Again, true enough.

Violent aggression has roots, psychological roots. But we humans can with some facility 'repress'/defuse our own aggressive impulses whatever their genesis. This keeps us out of trouble and out of jail. Unless we are sociopaths with poor impulse control.

The Marxists would likely approach the USA solution: more laws, more criminals, more prisons, more harsh sentences, more executions, more official vengeance, fewer and worse psychological services.

Oh, anger-repression = depression is from introspective analysis and learning how properly expressing anger effects depression by its vitiation. I never had it really bad. But it helped me to figure it out. This is not an Internet or book-reading pass along from me to you.

I understand it is your opinion, Brant.

"Opinion" is slightly too cheap an appellation for my opinions.
