CBC was getting trashed a lot of places because FB nuked this guys profile and gave no statements.

Given the nature of the breaking news cycle, a lot of people concluded yesterday that the CBC got trolled by a 4chan fake, and those people will not read the followups, further delegitimising mainstream news in their minds.

I understand FB wanting to discourage people trawling the histories of people recently implicated in mass killings, but when they just delete peoples accounts without comment, it harms the work of journalists.
Ezra Levant was in on it too. Fuck this guy.

The fact that this is an actual incel thing is the most infuriatingly pathetic thing I could have possibly heard. Something needs to be done about those fucking losers.

Apparently Facebook did comment to CBC that the post was real even after it was removed. I think removing the profile is definitely what needed to be done. We don't a murder's profile on display to confirm details like this.

People who make dumb conclusions based on shit being spread on 4chan are, well, dumb.

Not surprisingly, not even a disingenuous word of condolence from Trump. Then again, the suspect doesn't fit or further his agenda.
He hasn't said a peep about the Waffle House shooting either. Had either of these two had been made by an ISIS sympathizer or an illegal immigrant I'd bet you anything we would've gotten 3 tweets about these within an hour of us knowing.

It has to be said that since this was Canada the cop knows there's a much much MUCH lower chance that the criminal they're trying to arrest will be packing heat since getting a firearm in Canada is that much harder. Ergo cops can afford to not be constantly scared for their lives when they know there's a low chance of bullets flying their way resulting in more restrained cops with less trigger happy fingers.
I am pretty certain the cop did not calculate the probability of him carrying a gun initially/the fact that Canada has fewer weapons. The cop likely knew this guy was a mad man and still had the mental fortitude to peacefully arrest him.

Imo as a cop, you should always be cognizant of someone carrying a firearm but approach it in a cerebral and calm manner regardless of gun laws as there are several illegal ways to obtain a gun.

I wouldn't diminish the outstanding work done by said cop.

Maybe he's calling them losers for deflecting their lack of sexual experience due do systemic oppression.
My friend who has trouble with women asked me today whether or not he was what would be considered an incel. I had to let him know that he was nothing like the people who refer to themselves like that. He didn't actively blame women and society for not getting laid.

So, uhh... Publicly funded prostitution anyone?
Incels don't consider prostitution a solution to their problems - they say they want 'companionship' instead. The problem with that is the combination of their excessively high standards and a toxicly negative attitude toward women and sex that others can sense from a mile away. There are plenty of well-adjusted virgins out there (the vast majority, in fact), but incels are a militant breed that want to place all the blame for their problems on others, yet refuse to acknowledge that a good deal of their problems lie on their side of the fence.

The problem is these guys feel inadequate. The fact that they would have to pay for it in comparison to people who "get it for free" would still drive them just as insane. Not to mention these people would actually have to go to the prostitute. If they are scared of women in general, would they approach a prostitute?

The gun rate in Canada is still high. 31 per 100 people. Nearly 1/3 of the population could potentially own a gun? I find the criticism from US policing 'experts' pretty disgraceful actually - one claimed the cop had a 'duty' to shoot and kill the guy. We have normalised cops executing people now.

dont call him loser just for being virgin, should be a start
He isn't a loser because he is a virgin. I gave into pressure when I was younger, as a direct result none of my sexual experiences have been particularly positive; I would be perfectly happy to be a virgin right now. What makes him, and other people like him, a loser is that he chose to interpret his own virginity as some kind of abuse inflicted upon him by all women. What makes him a loser is that he lashed and out and killed innocent people because women wouldn't volunteer themselves for sex. He is disgusting. People like him are disgusting.

There's a key distinction here between "companionship" and "relationship".
