From a legal standpoint of what constitutes negligence, I think it can be safely argued that knowingly bringing a gun into a place where guns aren't allowed (when using a different gun as part of an unsanctioned initiation) is in fact a negligent act. The article doesn't say, but apparently Eid entered a guilty plea to a negligent homicide charge and was sentenced to five years probation.

"As long as you protect the secrets, these will be blanks"

Why would we believe it was the incorrect gun.

'Masonic leaders statewide were quick to disavow the incident, saying it was not Masonic custom to shoot guns at other members.'

(Unless a Masonic member has violated their secrecy or trust)

One member, Michael Paquette, said that when he was initiated into the group five years ago, two mouse traps were placed before him, and he was told that one worked, and one was broken, he said. Another member tested the broken trap, then told Mr. Paquette to touch the live one. He did, and discovered that it, too, was a dud. ''It was really harmless things,'' Mr. Paquette said. ''It was just for you to be there and realize you were in good hands, and you didn't have to fear anything.''

Just read that part and had to comment. Why would they have to fear anything in the first place???? Hmmm? Weird. What would cause you to have fear and not think you are in good hands when joining any other club?

2004-03-10 | A Ritual Gone Fatally Wrong Puts Light on Masonic Secrecy - The New York Times

'Over the years, the Southside Masonic Lodge members developed their own initiation rituals for the social club in the lodge that set them apart from most other Masonic organizations, members said. ', "Orders like the Southside Masons seem more concerned today with Christmas parties and raising money for blood drives and children's charities than ritual.", "This is a mistake, not a criminal act. ''The Southside Masons are mostly middle-aged or retired men who come from middle-class backgrounds."

'Masonic leaders statewide were quick to disavow the incident, saying it was not Masonic custom to shoot guns at other members. ', "Late Monday night, police carried evidence and ritual objects out of the Masons' one-story lodge in Patchogue."

Please us Archive.org for links. We know how to bypass the paywall but why would we give them clicks when we don’t need to? Thanks for the dig, tho.

So?

Can you paste the article into the thread? It won't allow me to read it unless I subscribe. Nope.
