Well, good. Not that I generally encourage suicide, but sometimes I wish people who plan stuff like that would just kill themselves and leave other people out of it.

According to court documents, an "Incel" is defined as "someone who advocates violence in support of their belief that women unjustly deny them sexual or romantic attention to which they believe they are entitled."

That pretty well sums it all up.

Weeks after Tres Genco returned to Ohio after being kicked out of Army basic training last January, federal investigators say he penned a letter with a chilling warning.

"If you’re reading this, I’ve done something horrible", Genco, now 21, wrote in the document entitled "Isolated", according to court documents.  "Somehow you've come across the writings of the deluded and homicidal".

He signed the letter, "Your hopeful friend and murderer".

Four days later, Genco searched online for "planning a shooting crime", prosecutors said, and drove to an unnamed university in Ohio to scope out the campus, where he was allegedly planning to shoot students in sororities.  His goal, investigators say, was to kill as many as 3,000 people.

Possible, but very unlikely,

More likely the "psych" wing at a local jail or prison.

Not all people that plan these sort of killing sprees are mentally ill.
The majority of people with severe mental illness like schizophrenia or severe bipolar are too disorganized to plan a mass shooting.
Someone with a personality disorder like a psychopath is.
So let’s not assume they were mentally ill either.They may have just been evil.

I'm not assuming mental illness like schizophrenia. I'm assuming he's a dangerous criminal psychopath, likely to offend again. My personal, dangerous psychopath is institutionalised for criminal behaviour and insanity. So I hope this bloke gets the same treatment.

They need a special place for people who are just plain old evil and enjoy hurting people.Somewhere they can’t find other victims and can’t get released from.

I'm getting really sick of these clowns.

Also, some of the guys on WP who want to reclaim the term "incel" should really read this article.
