Just been reading some of the more in detail news report.
Sad fact. Some people are just losers. Add in a bit of sexual failure = all women are whores. Then give them a gun licence. Then give it back to them (FFS) Its all so sadly predictable.
When I saw the photo of the killer ... why was I not surprised. He could have had "I am a loser" tattooed on his forehead.
Giving him the gun back helped him, but looks like he was on a death wish anyway.

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

Yep, but not the five poor folk he killed. Dreadful business.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Incel? Isn't that just a saddo who can't get a shag? Richard Richard in Bottom for example?

I worked on several barn conversions, on the same plot of land.
Besides the 3 conversions the builder kept the ongoing farm land / small holdings to work & as such had a rifle.
The f***er shot a dog that came onto 'his' land & bothered sheep (although his own dogs were enough to get rid of the offending trespassing dog)
Basically he'd been waiting for an excuse to kill something as soon as hed got his gun.
didnt work for him on his next project & a few other trades declined.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

if you are going to adopt the term 'incel', as a kind of grouping of males who can't get their rocks off, then that might explain a lot of the savagery being conducted in Islamist countries.

Not getting your end away can do funny things to men.

And pity about the shooters mum. Definitely 'wood' from me.

I disengage, I turn the page.

There have always been 'incels', there just wasn't a name for it before the digital age.

Due to the nature of male/female interaction. It's in the interests of women to find the highest status mate and so that creates a mating issue between average and below average males. The top twenty percent of dating males get to cherry pick women where roughly eighty percent don't entertain dating outside of the top males.....until their own self value estimation lowers.

It's an unspoken reality that has always existed....it's natural and in a normal environment women don't get the same level of access to the top males and so the pool for average women/males to settle is larger.....even for the higher females the average males catch them on their way down.

However, the rise of feminism and the alphabet ideologies allied to the digital age has worsened this natural dynamic and it partly explains why progressives hate 'incels' so much.....because they realise that it's their hatred of masculinity that has helped increase the numbers of these socially unsuccessful men considerably. This is the resultant underbelly of their social and political change.....but instead of taking responsibility and trying to help they prefer to block off any self reflective thought and demonise these people instead.

All the progressive media outlets use this disparate collection of men as a 'hate' group.....painting them as women haters and as extreme this and extreme that when the reality is that the only thing that connects them all together is that they can't get laid.

I've seen a video this guy put out about his life. He seems to be a product of today's nihilistic society who was using 'incel' stuff as an excuse for his own social disaffection...This guy wasn't physically repulsive....What he needed was good people around him, but today's society is so fragmented that the number of people without good social connections is significantly higher.

This awful event is reflective of a deeper dysfunction going on within society.....dysfunctions resultant from dysfunctions.
