      That’s a good perspective to remember and shows the impact of social media. It concentrates good and bad alike.

      We absolutey had incels. They were just as angry, but they included society in general for their problems and trash talked women, they just didn’t have the focused echo chambers we have today that let them run the mental gymnastics that placed so much blame on women. They didn’t have the incel label to wrap around themselves. They more or less became shut-ins living at home getting drunk and/or stoned, so yeah, they absolutely were shunned.

      If you take a few minutes and actually think about your high school and the few years following I bet you’ll remember a few people that fit the bill.

      For some reason killing a bunch of people because incel rage hadn’t entered the zeitgeist; even though workplace shootings did happen they weren’t remotely on the scale of mass shootings we have today.

      This is simply not true, the thing is back then not every single sensationalist story got past local.

      They weren’t called incels at the time because that word wasn’t created yet, but every school had that strange kid that would do incel-y behaviors.

        Which is funny because Zack did a hell of a lot more incel-like behaviors, but because he’s handsome he gets a pass.

        Like the cubicle meme.

      Federal. The Atlanta Spa shooter was charged under Georgia’s hate crime law. I can assure you, the SPLC knows what they’re talking about. Studying and reporting on hate crimes/groups is their whole “thing.”

      He wasn’t sentenced under hate crime laws though. He plead guilty to simple murder charges.

      N.B. it might still happen in Fulton.

      I donate all the sensitivity and offense I might have about your post to the sensitivity and offense that is needed to be summoned in response to that ghoul of a human being who plotted to murder a ton of women. Multiplied by all the downvotes. Wanna be mad? Throw that mad at him. Thumbs up to the FBI for catching his ass.

        Exactly. Rape isn’t funny when you’re talking about taking someone’s innocence because of the unbearable trauma it inflicts on the victim, but fuck this guy. He literally had plans to slaughter multiple woman for just being woman and because they wouldn’t fuck him. Now he’s going to get fucked, but not in the manner he wanted.

        I can’t believe how many people are so sensitive about this but I’m loving the downvotes. Who the fuck cares what happens to this piece of shit? Clearly, lots of Lemmings who likely never experienced extreme trauma nor do they know someone who did. If you take away someone life and/or innocence, you deserve the worst life has to offer.

    That title is just so bad. he was ploting to murder a bunch of women, that’s why he is being sent to prison, not his shitty but protected views.

      Do you understand what a hate crime is? What do you think is relevant to someone being charged with a federal hate crime? Please be specific.
