Mall of America Assault and Incel Crime?

@Urbanredneck

Your free to quote someone else. Yes, I just saw his response and being he is black I thought I would link to him.

I’m going to call you on this,** Urbanredneck**. My original question was whether the crime had some connection to the acts of violence committed by self-proclaimed members of the incel/MRA/MGTOW community. Then Kimstu claimed that particular segment of wingnuts does not normally embrace black people.

And you came in on Post #5 to quote a black “conservative” who’s upset that the media hasn’t made this a black vs. white issue.

@Urbanredneck

He is right, its barely been covered by the media. The media doesnt mention the boy was white. he also mentions some black activists have been calling for blacks to “Raise Hell”. And that Black Lives Matter shut the mall down a couple years ago.

And you agree with him.

As I said, I’m okay with this thread veering away from the incel issue, but you’re one of the people who steered the bus into a strawman.

No surprise. It’s pretty much the same mentality. Losers who have never accomplished anything personally but think they’re special because they have a penis/white skin. They get angry when other people don’t recognize their “superiority” and hand them the things they think they’re entitled to. They love hanging out with people that are like them because they’re scared of people who aren’t like them. And when they fail, they blame women/black people rather than acknowledge they failed because they’re failures.

I agree with you, without reservation.

That said, Elliot Rodger (sometimes, even often, referred to as “Saint Elliot” on the various cesspools known as incel fora) was not, strictly speaking, “white.”

Ok, then I have to apologize. I didnt catch what “incel” meant in your original OP. To be honest I thought it meant something about race.

I had thought maybe you were trying to say Jesse Peterson is an incel.

From yesterday’s news.
The man accused of throwing a 5-year-old boy off the third floor balcony at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota Friday told police he had come to the mall that day looking for someone kill.

He allegedly claimed he had made efforts to “talk to women in the Mall, but had been rejected, and the rejection caused him to lash out and be aggressive.”

To me it sounds like the man probably isn’t part of any incel group, but there do seem to be incel type thoughts. Mostly the perpetrator seems to be mentally unstable and lacking mental health help.

‘Incel’ means ‘loser’.

[Chingon]

He knew what it meant.

I accept Urbanredneck’s apology. Now let’s move on to Aranda’s overall craziness.

Edit: never mind, already covered.

IIRC, haven’t you participated in threads about incels before?

Funny you didn’t know what it meant. :dubious:

The concept, yes. The word, no.

Sometimes our brains can cause us to do some very stupid things.

Sentenced to 19 years.

Is that unusually fast; sentencing < 2 months after crime?

[Covfefe]

Three weeks between plea agreement and sentencing hearing is fairly quick. That gap is usually 1-2 months, often closer to 2 months with minor delays in cases I monitor.

It’s notable they reached a plea deal that soon because of the questions about his mental health. This is someone who likely ought to be monitored the rest of his life, so how well will that be taken into account if and when he’s eligible for release?
