Men’s rights fanatics defend Iowa mall shooter fired for sexual harassment: It’s ‘hard to blame him’

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/06/mens-rights-fanatics-defend-iowa-mall-shooter-fired-for-sexual-harassment-its-hard-to-blame-him

“Like rape, does the term sexual harassment pretty much no longer have any real meaning? IE it’s safe to assume there’s no chance this guy actually touched her or said anything overtly lewd?” wrote a commenter named Ziltoid, before adding, “As somebody who’s been job hunting for some time now picturing being fired, in this job market, over some twit finding you ‘creepy’… Sad to say I’m finding it hard to blame him.”

While some found Ziltoid’s comments “creepy,” others joined in by attacking the young woman who was shot, with one writing, “As far as I’m concerned, his being guilty of not giving these bitches the tingles is what caused him to get fired, and in turn, murder this chick.”

Another commenter, Samseau, suggested that Kozak was guilty of something as inoffensive as telling Farrington she was “beautiful” before blaming Kozak’s upbringing and society.

“He wasn’t being rude to anyone on his job. He wasn’t trying to be a pick-up artist on the job and shitting where he eats. His ‘prior-complaints leading up to his firing’ are almost certainly trumped-up charges. His crime? Being a beta male raised without a father and a domineering mother.”

I was reading through the comments and had to look up the term incel for instance.

I can predict GOP reactions to things. I can't predict MRA reactions. Way too crazy.

The dude was a total RW asshole with a weapon fetish. Entitled little fuck.

Though the more these MRA d-bags say shit like this, the more they display their depravity to everyone else.

Look at his eyes, for christ's sake. Creepy barely scratches the surface.

That's a new one for me.

Going to red pill for gender commentary is like perusing Stormfront for Ferguson opinions. Going to be a lot of hateful, sociopathic assholes afoot.

I'm horribly embarrassed for the entire human species that this is a thing among a small group of us.

Not enough hours in the day. They could, I don't know, join a gym and become the kind of person women would be attracted to on the inside and out.

Nah. Let's bitch on the internet and neg-feed one another. Far more productive.

Imbeciles.

In other words, the alpha brutes get all the girls. These guys are seriously stuck in high school, among other things...

Would be nice if they then confined themselves to "some dark corner of the Internet."

Yet I can readily understand as to why one might minimize their full scope.

Seriously, I never even heard of MRA until I read about it (them?) on this board. And there seem to be more accusations of MRA than actual MRAs around here.

I don't hang out on Reddit or Twitter. I have better things to do.
