Amazing!
Perhaps the lodge official should consider the benefits of self-initiation from the gene pools point of view.
Why would they have a loaded gun, another loaded gun that is, and with real bullets on the premises? And apparently their ceremonial gun is just a regular .38 instead of a cool antigue duelling pistol.

EVERYDOBY OUF OF THE GENE POOL!

I'm wondering if this could've been a setup for a murder. Or maybe I think way too much in terms of Hollywood when I hear about something like this. Either way, it made for good imagination material; thanks Tisha!

Botched Istanbul Suicide Attack Kills 2
Reuters

ISTANBUL, Turkey -- A suicide bomber who killed one other person in an attack on an Istanbul freemasons' building botched the job, Turkish media reported Wednesday.

His accomplice failed to kill himself in Tuesday's attack which wounded five people and revived memories of four blasts in the city blamed on al-Qaida in November that killed 61 people.

Interesting to note that the Freemansons have been rather quiet for a long time, and now they find themselves in the news twice in two days. It is unfortunate that the circumstances are what they are, but it still seems rather odd.

Hi,
The older I get the more insane some things seem !  I agree that no firearm should have been present on site.  Maybe it's time for the American public to seriously think about firearms control in the general population?

Rhinegirl, I am very interested in knowing why you are so fasinated by the Hilter regime and use those antiquated terms every chance you get?  Anyone who is a brownshirt at this point is atleast 80yrs old and I am sure I could take SEVERAL of them on at once! []

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Masonic initiation ritual ended in tragedy when a man was shot in the head and killed with a gun thought to contain blanks, police said on Tuesday.
They said 47-year-old William James was accidentally killed when Albert Eid, 76, confused a loaded .38-caliber semiautomatic pistol with another gun during the induction ceremony in Patchogue, on New York's Long Island, on Monday night.

"During the ceremony, an inductee was shot and killed when a lodge member used a real gun instead of a blank pistol," Suffolk County Detective Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick said in a statement.

Police officer Heidi Cummings said Eid pointed a gun at James' head while another member beat a garbage can like a drum as part of the rite in the basement of the suburban Southside Masonic Lodge, about 50 miles east of Manhattan.

Eid was charged with manslaughter and made an initial appearance in court on Tuesday.

Freemasons are an international brotherhood with lodges all over the world with the stated object of mutual assistance. Initiation rites are generally held in private.
