The accused Toronto van driver appears to have lauded an American mass killer

Source: CNN

"All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger!" reads the message on the account investigators believe belongs to Minassian, Campbell said.

Rodger killed six people and injured 14 others in a stabbing, shooting and vehicle-ramming attack in 2014 near the UC Santa Barbara campus.

Investigators noted that Rodger was motivated by a personal grievance related to the extremist ideological subculture of men's rights activists propagated in online forums, such as 4Chan, Campbell said. Supporters believe women don't want gender equality and have been brainwashed by feminist propaganda.

Rodger died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Surprise! The killer admired a Men's Right's Activist who mowed down pedestrians.

Worth pointing out: as noted in the article, "He is not being called a terrorist".

Dude asked the cops to shoot him dead but forgot that he was in Canada and he's white. So they took him alive.

Did this asshole target feminists? What do random people walking on the street have to do with his grievances?

The lack of white terrorism should bother people more than it does. To think that white people are capable of random acts of mass murder for no reason should be more terrifying that simply acknowledging that some white people are terrorists.

Vehicle attacks have been called terrorism when the perp has a tan or olive complexion.

to fear in society, yet they attack people just because they are afraid of 'something' that might happen democratically. Like women or muslims being equal to everybody else. Like black people being treated equally. Basically they are just against people being equal before the law.
