    This guy was 17! Imagine being so young and convincing yourself that it’ll never happen for you. Crazy.

      geez by that age I was just happy just to not have spontaneous boners. I never expected to actually have sex in my teens. Heck, I didn’t even in college.

    Canadians are a very confusing people. Are they Brits with an American accent or Americans with British manners?

    I just can’t tell.

    What a miscarriage of justice. If they’re remotely right that this guy was a deeply misogynist incel lashing out, that precludes this being a genuine act of terrorism as defined under Canadian law. He’d have to have committed the murder “in whole or in part for a political, religious or ideological purpose, objective or cause”. Genuinely hating women and lashing out accordingly is the polar opposite of doing it for a cause. The prosecution is essebtially alleging that the defendant did this for personal reasons.

    Terrible ruling.

      Disagree

      The ideological cause is misogyny

      It’s not personal: his victim did nothing to him: he hated her because she was a woman.

      Replace “woman” with “black” and it becomes even more obvious and KKK like.
