This guy was 17! Imagine being so young and convincing yourself that it'll never happen for you. Crazy.
Oh, it will definitely happen to him, but probably in prison. :p
geez by that age I was just happy just to not have spontaneous boners. I never expected to actually have sex in my teens. Heck, I didn't even in college.
Canadians are a very confusing people. Are they Brits with an American accent or Americans with British manners?
I just can't tell.
Three geese in a denim shirt with jeans
Australians with French accents
Americans but friendly
What are you talking aboot?
Yes.
What a miscarriage of justice. If they're remotely right that this guy was a deeply misogynist incel lashing out, that precludes this being a genuine act of terrorism as defined under Canadian law. He'd have to have committed the murder "in whole or in part for a political, religious or ideological purpose, objective or cause". Genuinely hating women and lashing out accordingly is the polar opposite of doing it for a cause. The prosecution is essebtially alleging that the defendant did this for personal reasons.
Terrible ruling.
Disagree
The ideological cause is misogyny
It's not personal: his victim did nothing to him: he hated her because she was a woman.
Replace "woman" with "black" and it becomes even more obvious and KKK like.
Using incel rhetoric to justify a murder is absolutely political and ideological.
