1. Man Allegedly Threatened to Target Women in Mass Shooting Because He's a 27-Year-Old 'Virgin'

A man allegedly threatened to kill as many “girls” as possible because he was a still a virgin. Christopher Wayne Cleary, 27, is being held at Utah County Jail on a threat of terrorism charge, and probation violation, according to records viewed by Law&Crime.

Authorities said he wrote the following statement to Facebook, according to the probable cause statement obtained by The Gephardt Daily:

All I wanted was a girlfriend, not 1,000 not a bunch of hoes not money none of that. All I wanted was to be loved, yet no one cares about me I’m 27 years old and I’ve never had a girlfriend before and I’m still a virgin, this is why I’m planning on shooting up a public place soon and being the next mass shooter cause I’m ready to die and all the girls the turned me down is going to make it right by killing as many girls as I see.


. . .

Provo police said they learned about the posts from an officer from Cleary’s home state of Colorado. See, the suspect was on probation there for felony stalking and threatening of women, cops said. Investigators also voiced concern because of women’s marches happening throughout the state, in Provo, and Salt Lake City.

Dude, shower and shave every day, put a little effort into your wardrobe, get out of the house and attend social events, be an interesting person, and show some interest in women; what they think, what they like, what they find funny.

It takes work. I'm an almost painfully shy guy, but in social situations, I make eye contact, shake hands and introduce myself, and treat women with respect. I was a hopelessly unpopular nerd in school, but now, I don't mind saying, I'm a pretty popular guy.


The old complaint "Why can't they accept me for who I am?" is bullshit; it absolves you of the responsibility of becoming the kind of person others find acceptable. Take the pressure off of others who are trying to like you by being a likeable person.

His problem is similar to the Muslims who blow themselves up. Young men not having sex! Amazing

Being batshit crazy will do that for you. But I was wise enough to know when I needed to hoof it on down to the adult book store. It's not the same, but it will keep your body from aching.

Though they sometimes end in marriage.

Nobody going to give you loving now brother.

Thankfully nobody died. I don’t know how long they can keep him locked up for threatening to do something though.

It'll depend on what the terms of his probation were. Another incel thinking he's entitled to women.

Problem with the internet is that off-the-chain wackos can go online and find like-minded off-the-chain wackos and convince themselves they are right.

Just a bunch of self-loathing, misplaced rage, lack of self-reflection, and tons of other issues. I stumbled across one of their forums before. It was a place they got together to reinforce each other's twisted views and develop new and even worse ideas. I figured I would create an account to engage them and try to learn more and maybe point out some logic flaws and hypocritical views as I see them. I was totally reasonable and approached in a non-combative way. I was quickly called a "white knight cuck" and other such things and quickly banned.

The internet is great in so many way, but the way it allows fringe crazies to connect is concerning.
