Incels celebrate death of 10-year-old girl in Toronto mass shooting: "Legit put a smile on my face"

(these fucking bastards are getting sicker by the day, and more and more open about their hatred and vitriol. there are a lot of words for what should happen to them, but most would net me a visit from the suits)

Incels celebrate death of 10-year-old girl in Toronto mass shooting: “Legit put a smile on my face”

The shooter (lover left) was caught on video by a local resident

[UPDATED with name of shooter]

By David Futrelle

Last night, a young man opened fire on people enjoying a night out in Toronto’s Greektown neighborhood. Numerous people were hit; two of his victims died — an 18-year-old woman and a 10-ear-old girl. The shooter, identified as 29-year-old Toronto resident Faisal Hussain, was found dead shortly after a gunfight with police; it’s not clear if he was killed by the police or if he took his own life. As of yet, we don’t know the shooter’s motive, but given his choice of targets — people out socializing on a summer night in a neighborhood known for its many restaurants — it’s hard not to wonder if he was inspired by the incel van attack that killed ten pedestrians and injured many more on a busy street in Toronto in April.

On the Incels.me message board — where many have made heroes of incel mass killers like Elliot Rodger and the Toronto van killer — some of the regulars are openly celebrating the shooting, with some taking special pleasure in the death of the ten-year-old girl. Someone called /pol/cel, with more than 1499 comments to his name on the site, kicked off the celebration by declaring how glad he was that the shooting took place in Toronto:
/pol/cel Veteran - Today at 10:14 AM#14 Im glad this happened to be honest. Toronto is a festering, putrid shithole of a city. Its honestly IT in city form but 100000x worse.

“IT” is a reference to the IncelTears subreddit. devoted to mocking incels.

After one commenter took offense at /pol/cel’s glee over the murders, prolific Incels.me commenter Getlooksordie took the discussion into an even darker direction:
Getlooksordie Veteran - Today at 10:20 AM#18 BlackOpsIIcel said: Fuck you. One of the victims was an 8 year old girl. Do you think you are funny? kek, that 8 year old girl likely bullies the incel looking guy in her class. Kids are even meaner than adults. I´m happy the cunt is dead.

And things got worse from there, with much of the rest of the discussion centered around the alleged crimes-against-inceldom committed by the murdered “8 year old girl” (who was actually ten).

I'm not sure how, but this topic should be included in the #metoo movement. There needs to be a clear and paramount focus on the victims/survivors of sexual assault and harassment.......this should be clear. However, we need to really address the growing so-called incel phenomenon.
I feel like I rarely see/read anything about this in the news. Maybe when we talk about metoo and the violence of sexual assault, we can also talk about the deathly violence exacted upon women and girls by those that feel entitled to their bodies.
How did we go from " no means no", to, "if I can have you, no one will"?!?


Just a note: I realize that the once popular phrase," no means no", is problematic. I was just using it to make a point of contrast about how far we, society, have fallen.

of sexual harassment and violence. but there is almost nothing in the msm about this horrible subset of humanity.

the woman-haters are coming out in full force these days, and it is, quite frankly, frightening.
