Often-Visceral Consequences: Mosque Administrators and Linoleum Floor

often-visceral consequences: Once the police had finished their work, mosque administrators opened the doors to journalists, if only to show firsthand the often-visceral consequences of unchecked hatred and ignorance, according to CBC. It was like the aftermath of war. Less than 48 hours before, a gunman had walked into the centre, killing six and injuring 19. Men and women parishioners wandered around, dazed and weeping. And blood was everywhere on the carpet and prayer rugs, on the Linoleum floor outside the main room, caking the stairs to the basement and circling a storage closet drain. Bullets, dozens of them, had splintered drywall and shattered glass. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
