Manhunt Underway For Two Radicalized Canadian Teens Wanted For String Of Murders

Where were they radicalized? Online gaming sites' chat platforms.
By David Neiwert

They were just two small-town teens from rural Vancouver Island who bonded over video games and anime. But then something went sideways, and their interests morphed into shared fantasies featuring Nazis, guns, and animated pornography.

This week, they became the objects of a national manhunt in Canada, accused of murdering a couple of young tourists and a man who lectured on botany at the University of Victoria in rural British Columbia—and yet another vivid reminder of the toxic and lethal results of the recruitment of “red-pilled” young white men into white nationalist ideology.

Bryer Schmegelsky, 18, and Kam McLeod, 19, were charged this week by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the murders of two tourists—Chynna Deese, 24, of Charlotte, North Carolina, and her boyfriend, Lucas Fowler, 23, of Sydney, Australia—and a 64-year-old man from Victoria named Leonard Dyck, whose body was found near the two teenagers’ burned-out truck.

Deese and Fowler had been traveling up the remote Alaskan Highway route through western British Columbia. Their bodies were discovered in a ditch not far from their broken-down Chevy van on July 14. Dyck’s body was found on July 19 in the vicinity of British Columbia’s Dease Lake, about a six-hour drive from where the first two bodies were found.

Maybe they are just murderous, psychopathic thugs. Hope they are caught soon.
