Yesterday even in Toronto , 10 people were killed and another 15 injured by a vanguard driving erratically in the Canadian metropolis . The driver , 25 - year - old Alek Minassian , isbeing heldon 10 counts of first - arcdegree murder and 13 counts of set about slaying .
Other than one former classmate’sdescriptionsof him as socially sticky and introverted , little is get laid about Minassian . However , ascreenshotof a Facebook position obtained by Globe News Toronto reporter Catherine McDonald — andconfirmedto be authentic by the company — suggests the form of online residential area he was alive in .
It study :
Private ( Recruit ) Minassian Infantry 00010 , wishing to speak to Sgt 4chan please . C23249161 . The Incel Rebellion has already begun ! We Will override all the Chads and Stacys ! All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger .
Elliot Rodger , of course , refer to the 22 - year - old who , motivated by his ego - profess hate for cleaning lady and frustrated by his status as a virgin , murdered six and injure over a XII before down himself in Isla Vista , California , in May 2014 . The “ incel rebellion ” refers to the involuntarily celibate residential district — people , though almost exclusively men , distraught with their lack of sexual experiences , and often expressing this disappointment as ira towards woman writ large . For violent - apt incels , Rodger is thought of as a grinder , and it ’s believed Nikolas Cruz — the gun responsible for the massacre in Parkland , Florida — alsoidolizedRodger .
“ Chad , ” for those unaccustomed to the Neanderthalic corners of the internet , is a reference to a meme that contrast the qualities of a “ virgin ” with his confident , well - endowed opposition , Chad Thundercock . The opposing , badly drawn men of the meme are applied to everything fromcharacter choice in Overwatchtoastronomy ; but true to the meme ’s stock ’s on 4chan — another radicalizing force Minassian mentions — the dependent matter incline to trend towards field of study of traditionalism , ethno - centrism , and misogyny .
00010 is the trade identification number for the Canadian foot , and C23249161 looks like a military service number . Minassian joined the CAF for approximately 2 months , and requested a voluntary discharge without discharge his recruit training , Vicereports .
Whether Minassian ’s feelings towards cleaning woman or his apparent activity in incel biotic community had any specific mien on his motive yesterday is not presently known . He will return to courton May 10 .
