The Cellar - The 'What the fuck!' thread

Dec. 6 - Remembrance and action on violence against women
'Violence is far less likely between equals. . .therefore, equality and respect of all people is a crucial concept. . .women have not yet achieved equality, and this must be redressed.' - Witness at the Canadian Panel on Violence Against Women, 1993

Ottawa (4 Dec. 2007) - On Dec. 6, 1989, a deranged gunman entered L'Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. After segregating the female students from the men, he began firing at the female engineering students.

On that day, 14 young women lost their lives to violence. The event became known as the Montreal Massacre and has become symbolic in the fight to end violence against women. In 1991, Canada's Parliament declared December 6th a National Day of Mourning and the National Day to End Violence Against Women.

I remember the massacre, so I was a little puzzled by the WTF for its memorial.
I accept I could be missing something though.

WTF, John?

(Now that we've made a big flippin' deal about it, I bet poor John is regretting the whole thing. It probably was the spelling of "December".)

Not the bee.
Use your puzzle skills.
Don't expect anything particularly big.
Emphasize the pattern.
