was Gabriel Wortman ‘thinking aloud’ about revenge rampages even back in 2004 ?

Denturist Gabriel Wortman liked to exercise his own jaws as much as he liked to work on yours

“Chatty” and “Mass Murderer” are usually thought of going together : far from it.

But evil human beings remain human beings : social media comments that see Gabriel Wortman as not human, as 100% evil, are on the same moral plane as Hitler saying the same things about Jewish human beings.

More and more we are at 40 Gallons & a Mule can’t help noticing how chatty Gabriel Wortman was, at least to his clients.

Talking a blue streak, joking, smiling, laughing. Hardly the strong silent male, to his clients at least.

Social Media is still revealing angles of Wortman that the RCMP has probably already gathered dozens of examples of : gathered after warning their, erm, ‘informants’ not to talk about them elsewhere.

Thankful some ignore this misleading advice or avoid the RCMP like the way a horse avoids a barn-burner.

The latest example is a woman, who together with her then young son, went into Wortman’s Portland Street denture clinic in 2004.

She came out feeling, “way, way too much information” - particularly in front of her young son - about Gabe’s fantasy’s of revenge upon those he felt owed him something - fantasies disturbing enough for her to call the cops.

Particularly as she says they involved, wait for it ! - a cop car. This is in 2004, remember.

Not sure if she called the NS Denturists’ Board - who have a strict code of conduct, typical of all medical professions.

And Gabe’s behaviour in a medical, professional, setting, was hardly that.

I hope the silence from the denturists and their board and society gets a probing twice over at any public inquiry.

They are, after all, about the size of a tiny Antigonish County catholic family : a mere two dozen in total : they knew him best, knew him longest.

But seemingly did nothing, said nothing. (Other than make him a director of the Denturist Society !)

But back to the HRM cops : she said they felt there were “no red flags” raised.

I hope to God that today’s coppers get a little training in spotting “injustice collectors” and their various red flags.

Because statistically, mass murderers aka injustice collectors, despite their small numbers, make up a significant percentage of our nation’s total first degree murder count. 23 innocents dead of first degree murder in NS.

What is that ? Five years worth of 1st degree murders in Nova Scotia, delivered to us and the police by one guy alone ?

Bottom line : nothing was put in the police computer database about this violent fantasy/ firm plan (despite his recent (2002) conviction for beating up a child at that same clinic) and once again Wortman-not-a-CI skated.

And yes, we have no news on whether his parole officer considered this violent fantasy - revealed to total strangers - was a sign that GW’s 2002 “anger management course” hadn’t quite stuck.....
