Why Toronto Attackers Praise Of Elliot Rodger Would Be No Surprise

Shortly after police say Alek Minassian plowed a rental van down a Toronto sidewalk Monday, killing 10 people and injuring 15 others, a Facebook post circulated in which he appeared to praise Elliot Rodger, the 22-year-old Californian who blamed his 2014 killing spree on his rejection by women.

“All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger,” the message read in part.

Canadian law enforcement acknowledged in a Tuesday press conference that Minassian “is alleged to have posted a cryptic message on Facebook minutes before” he got into the vehicle. And Facebook confirmed to outlets including TPM that the since-deleted account belonged to the suspect.

Many important details about the case are still unknown, and extremist experts noted that it’s odd that the post contained no other messages expressing an affiliation with the misogynistic, hateful ideology Rodger espoused. But they also told TPM that Rodger has become an icon among the most extreme members of the men’s rights and “incel,” or “involuntary celibate,” communities. And they said they wouldn’t be surprised if Rodger inspired the gruesome Toronto attack.

I have just got to ask, the media ( television) was all over this linking it to a terrorist attack from the Middle East, because of the method of this wanton murdering , and when it was discovered that it wasn't from someone linked to the Middle East.......they dropped this with no more reporting............................

Here you have a asshole that couldn't get a date blaming his entire asshole bullshit problems on a women in general and his cult, and the media hoping that they could link the crime to middle east persona and then finding out it wasn't shows that this country has a big problem in the media journalistic frame of reporting just for ratings, but instead take the position of inflaming and inciting more violence from one culture to another of saying see, see, see, and when it was because of this "incel" crap, they don't want to speak about and give a in-depth reporting of people that inflict violence on woman..................


Hey media especially (television) you are really fucked up.............and everyone of your bosses should be fired, Edward R. Murrow, Chet Huntley, Walter Cronkite, etc.....................would be shaking there collective heads.............and saying, you are not journalists

1. I see we posted similar articles almost at the same time, turbinetree

This, to me, is truly shocking. There seems to be a certain segment of males in our society who blame all their problems on women. And using this twisted reasoning to justify violence.

And, you are 100% correct when you say it's disgusting that the media dropped this story like a hot potato when they found out it wasn't anything to do with Middle East terrorism. I'm getting so fed up with everything being about money and ratings in our society.
Those two reasons are why we have an asshole like Trump in the Oval Office.

2. The television media, was trying to link this crime of murder to the Middle East

to just add more gas to the violence to the situation in this country, just hoping that the sexual predator and others could get on the band wagon, to further there claim, is just amazing.

The media (television) in this country has completely failed in there job description, and this crime shows that they have no means to be journalistic in anything, none, will any of them take a hour or two to expose this crap................nope, prime example his the asshole in the white house....................I am with you Ohiogal, this is just outrageous
