From: Darth Simian on
A masonic initiation ritual intended to scare new members went
tragically wrong when a gun firing blanks was accidentally swapped for
one with live ammunition.

As members of the Southside Masonic Lodge in Patchogue, New York
looked on, novice William James was shot dead when one of the inner
circle fired the wrong gun.

Albert 'Pike' Eid, 76, who had a starting pistol in one pocket and a
loaded .32 calibre gun in the other, was meant to "shoot" the fake as
a pile of tin cans was toppled to startle Mr James. Instead he reached
into the wrong pocket and shot the 47-year-old father of two in the
head.

Other masons called the police who arrested Mr Eid for second degree
manslaughter. He was later freed on £1,500 bail.

A police spokesman said the 10 people at the ritual were "quite
stunned" as Mr James slumped dead in a chair. His widow, Wendy, said
those present refused to say what had happened. "They can at least
tell me, 'I'm sorry.' They were supposed to be Bill's brothers. Well
brothers don't treat brothers that way."

Mr James was being inducted into the Mason's Fellowcraft Club. Other
lodge rituals included snapping rat traps in the faces of initiates
and forcing them to walk a plank. The temple also had a guillotine in
a basement.

The Grand Lodge said guns were not normally used in its rituals.

For this devllish Sect of Men are Meeters in secret which swear agains
all without ther Following. They are the Anti Christ which was to come
leading Men from Fear of God. For how should Men meet in secret Places
and with secret Signs taking Care that none observed them to do the
Work of GOD; are not these the Ways of Evil-doers? Knowing how that
God observeth privilly them that sit in Darkness they shall be smitten
and the Secrets of their Hearts layed bare. Mingle not among this
corrupt People lest you be found so at the World's Conflagration.

That was several years ago, and just in the building, not a ritual.
That is what they said anyway.

I am not a mason, that first, and not a Godly person either.
And doing the Work of God? I don`t liek his works that much to begin with,
but then I have pretty vague inclination that he (or she,.... it?) doesn`t
exist
anyway, and if it does, it is a horrible entity that deserves the worst
punishement
and then some.

I wager 9/11 hit the NYC Freemason police service hard and all the
jokers who used to put their money into the "NORAID" tin to fund the
PROVOS when they were romancing about old Ireland where their 10th
generation grandparents hailed from.

Guns masons and the KKK just do not mix well and it should be
eradicated.

It was quoted in the English press you idiot. Did you know that currency
can be converted?

Well if you are a mason, you probably could get a bit more information
then the first message brought out about it.
Hell evenif you just knew one you might have gotten more information
and maybe there have been followup's on the whole deal, I don`t know, but
just
quoting some old message might not cut it, it would if it just happened
ofcourse.
