Man who pleaded guilty in incel-inspired Toronto murder sentenced to life in prison

Source-https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/murder-toronto-spa-man-sentencing-1.7041917


snip-"A man who pleaded guilty to the incel-inspired murder of a Toronto massage parlour employee sought out the ideology that led him to commit a "horrific crime," an Ontario judge said Tuesday in sentencing him to life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years.

Though the man was 17 when he carried out the brutal attack with a sword in February 2020, sentencing him as a youth — which would cap the sentence at 10 years behind bars — would be "insufficient" to hold him accountable, Justice Sukhail Akhtar told the court.

snip-"On the day of the stabbing, he wore a long, dark coat and hat, and carried a note that said "long live the incel rebellion" inside a zip-close bag, court heard.


snip-"J.C. rushed to the reception area after hearing a sound and was also stabbed, court heard. The man told her he was going to kill her and called her derogatory terms, it heard. She eventually managed to take the sword from him and incapacitate him, which court heard brought the attack to an end. She suffered stab wounds, lacerations to both hands and nerve damage as she fought

[JC was the victim that survived.]

Much more there.

rejected therapy because that means he would be placed in a prison where he has to share a cell.

The Incel, wants his own cell. Still all about him. May he rot Inhell.

The attack on J.C., also with the same weapon, "was accompanied by language denoting hatred for women,"


Language which is no doubt considered perfectly acceptable for anyone to use as an insult, because patriarchy.

But it's important to us. Our Courts and Scotus regularly disregard decades, if not centuries, old citations and law for their own ideological renderings. This will be no different. That only changes when we take back all four branches of government, lock down the checks and balances, and breakup the right wing monopoly in the court system. YMMV.
