Incel opens fire at Dallas Federal Building

[Amused]

Edited for correction.

Turns out I was wrong about the Q-Anon. He was a Peterson Incel.

Clyde posted frequently on Facebook, sharing political memes that made light of — among other things — incest and the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Several memes included Confederate flag imagery.

One meme he shared referred to a “Chad rampage” vs. a “virgin shooting” — the Chad vs. virgin trope is a common “incel” meme, which is short for “involuntary celibate.” The meme contrasted how two men — a "Chad" and a "virgin" — would go about carrying out a shooting.

In the memes, "Chads" are strong men who can attract women, unlike weaker "virgins."

The term “incels” usually refers to an online community of men who blame women for not having sex with them. In some cases, the internet subculture makes its way offline, such as when a man killed 10 people after he drove into a crowd in Toronto last year and pledged allegiance to the “incel rebellion.”

On June 9, the day a sudden, violent storm blew through Dallas, Clyde posted a video to Facebook in which he is illuminated by candlelight.

"I don't know how much longer I have, but the [expletive] storm is coming. However, I'm not without defense," he says in the video, holding up what appears to be a rifle wrapped with duct tape. "[Expletive] ready. Let's do it."

In a post in April, he wrote, "God i love gun shows."

Was just reading the story. If the following is true I think it's way past time to take away people's guns that fit this guys profile. He seems to tick all the boxes of people who shouldn't be able to own weapons.

Clyde’s Facebook page features posts over the last week where he lays out his collection of ammunition and swords.

In one picture posted Saturday, 10 magazines are laid out on the floor. In the caption, Clyde said he is no longer going to dress up for the local yearly anime conference in Dallas because he “decided to finish getting all of my mags.”

In a post from a day before the attempted shooting, Clyde posted a picture of a sword, saying that he was a “gladius” about to “defend the modern Republic.” His last post before the shooting featured a picture of his bare legs.

Clyde’s Facebook page is otherwise filled with vague warnings of an upcoming attack, conspiracy theories about the U.S. government, memes from far-right internet subcultures like 4chan, and misogynist memes.

In a video posted June 9, he warned that “the storm is coming,” a phrase frequently used by anti-government internet conspiracy theorists, and said he didn’t know how much time he had left. The video ends with Clyde saying he’s “ready,” and holding up a long gun.

References to incels, or the “involuntary celibate” internet community that is prominent on extreme misogynist message boards, are frequently posted in memes on Clyde’s page.

Clyde posted a picture of a swastika on a green flag, calling it a “solution” on April 29. He also often posted anti-U.S. government conspiracy theories, including posts about secret pedophile rings and CIA experiments.

In non-political posts, Clyde consistently extolled his appreciation for several of his hobbies, including anime, comic book movies, and guns. “God i love gun shows,” he wrote on April 27.

Today at my job we had a guest speaker. Her name is Kristina Anderson. She is one of the survivors from the Virgina Tech shooting in 2007.

It was surreal to here her explain her day and how things transpired. She showed us slides of the classroom layout she was in and where her seat was, and exactly how everything went down. She was shot 3 times. Once in her back, once in her butt, and once in her foot. She got to class late that day because she overslept, and because of that she ended up sitting in the back corner of her classroom.

The only survivors in her classroom were the people who sat back in the corner. Her teacher was killed and 12 students in her classroom were killed. The class sat 25 students but they were not all full.

Her mom was in Tysons Corner at the mall and received a phone call from the hospital. She told her mother 3 things. You're daughter has been shot, she is being rushed to the hospital, and they are performing surgery on her immediately without anyones consent. Her mom collapsed in the mall and she said on the 4 hour drive to Tech from Tysons, her dad nearly killed them because of driving erratically.

It was just unbelievable to hear the details of it all and how she can talk about it. She talked about her road to get to where she is today and the issues she still has today and will have the rest of her life.

It's unreal how rare these shootings were back then, 12 years ago, and now it is just common place and NOTHING has changed and it's only gotten worse because we're a fucking gun happy nation.

This shit has to stop.

Not to diminish your point, but I'm curious why a workplace would have her as a speaker?

EDIT:

A quick google of her name brings up a video to indicate she talks about safety. Good for her.

 

[WelshBloke]

He seems to tick all the boxes...

If that description is accurate then hes like a bad parody. Its depressing that people like him exist.

 

[DrDoug]

There's still a chance that it will but I don't think that the gun-huggers are going to like it when that happens. This shit is going to build and build as Republicans refuse to move on gun issues. If enough of this goes unanswered across enough of the country, the Republicans risk an eventual backlash when people get fed up and elect people who will change things. Because of the public anger that would have built at that point, politicians would offer radical changes to the gun laws and they would more than likely pass. Changes that will be far more radical than if they would just do something now.

Remember, I said "if". That's still up in the air as it seems that the American public hasn't seen enough death to push for change. Currently we like guns more than people being alive.

Yeah she goes around speaking about it as part of her job and she is part of non-profits that try to put together plans and ways to make workplace and school violence less likely to happen. She also cofounded the company that makes an app called LiveSafe which is also for the same type of thing.

We have a series of speakers at my company where people come and tell their stories and it also relates to the field I'm in. We've had General Hayden come speak as well as Richard Picciotto who was one of the first firefighters in the World Trade center and he was in there when it collapsed. Hearing these accounts first hand are unreal.

“However, not without defense. I’m f*cking ready, let’s do it.”

Clyde was pronounced dead at the scene, but no other injuries were reported.

Suicide by cop? I'd imagine that it takes a bit of effort to not harm anyone else but still get yourself shot.

It seems that a guy walking around with an assault rifle and multiple 30 round clips tends to make even people in Texas call the police.

Holy shit at the person like 15 feet away hiding in the corner behind the brick wall.

It's not so much the getting shot, its the not harming anyone else. You have to make an effort not to hit anyone in that situation. (Dressing up like Rambo probably doesn't help either!)

I've been warning gun nutters that their own inaction on the issue will result in a self fulfilling prophecy and their guns will eventually be taken away.

They seem hell bent, like the loser in this story, in going out in a fight to the death. Little do they know that it will be their death and no one will shed a tear let alone remember them or their actions as anything of significance.

 

[IronWing]

I wonder why the guy bothered with a mask when it when obviously a suicide mission?

 

[Lanyap]

Clyde said he is no longer going to dress up for the local yearly anime conference in Dallas because he “decided to finish getting all of my mags.”

The guy was obviously mentally disturbed.

 

[umbrella39]

Crazy people have access to the Internet and guns... Seems some hear marching orders whether actual or perceived...

 

[Cr0nJ0b]

How do you know he's a QANON follower?

 

[cytg111]

There is an operator if I ever saw one ...

 

[TheVrolok]

No one was even injured except for the "shooter?" This was be immediately forgotten.

This guy probably thought he was going to John Wick the whole building and walk away.

Anyone heard from oreooreo?

Really? I figured that would be day to day normal in TX

 

[Bitek]

Another MAGA loser ends his life as it always ran, pointless, unaccomplished and ultimately forgettable.

It is a sad commentary that we've had a few posters who are so far off the deep end that we worry they'll be involved in a mass shooting.

 

[SMOGZINN]

So, this is where I work. I walk in the door he was firing into every morning right around that time. Lucky for me I was off work yesterday, and am again today because the building is closed. Otherwise I would have been in line at the security station right on the other side of that door.

I don't even know what to say. We have to stop this.

The human mind builds paradoxes. We fear guns... but we thnk our own individual gun ownership will save us from guns.

Strange, isn't it? That'd be like placing your house in a burn zone, every few years there's nothing but smoke and ash. But hey, you've got a lighter!
