MONTREAL — A blogger who allegedly glorified the gunman behind Montreal’s 1989 Ecole polytechnique massacre was arrested on the eve of the attack’s 30th anniversary. Jean-Claude Rochefort appeared in court Friday to answer charges of inciting hatred towards women. Investigators have linked him to what police call “disturbing” writing published under a pseudonym on a “hateful, anti-feminist blog.”Police say Rochefort was arrested Thursday at his home in Montreal, where they conducted a search and seized computer equipment.
