Death at the Masonic Lodge

The idiocy of an induction ritual that was designed to “frighten (the inductee) by letting him think he was placing his life in their hands” is graphically illustrated as his initiator pulls out a loaded pistol instead of the one in his other pocket that fires blanks; the inductee is shot in the head and killed. Everyone calls this “an accident”, but bringing a loaded weapon to the ceremony suggets to me a depraved indifference to the life of the victim. The immature folly of the initiation ritual mentality that ranges from college fraternities to these Masonic Lodges to the secret societies of the elite ruling class enrages me.
