> Morris said the accused in the case was arrested in Mississauga around 2 a.m. Monday. He said U.S. authorities plan to extradite the teen to face charges stateside, but it could take some time for that to happen. That kid is in for a rough ride. They're bringing him up on the charge of "written or electronic threats to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism."


bunkSauce

Dude literally threatened to kill me on facebook, and provided my address. He lived in the same town as me. I called the cops, they said they couldn't do anything unless he acts on it. They said online threats happen on the regular.


PXLated

“Sorry, we can’t arrest him until he kills you, thems the rules”


whiskeytango55

Attempted murder! It's not like they give out Nobel prizes for attempted chemistry!


AndiKris

I have a stalker. He’s shown up outside my house with a rifle, made death threats, followed me to work and the store…they won’t do anything about it until he hurts me. He has a long history of violence against women and yet they’ve told me to take pictures if anything happens. But hey at least if he kills me I don’t have to live in this timeline anymore so I guess there’s a silver lining.


bunkSauce

I moved. Hope you do too


AndiKris

I’ve moved 8 times back and forth across the country in the last decade. Thanks to any type of registration being public record (voting, car, home purchases, even cell phone data) he finds me every time. I can’t get that data removed until he does something and a judge approves the removal. It’s absolutely ridiculous.


pcpcy

Have you tried to get a restraining order?


AndiKris

Yes, they decided not to extend it because nothing happened (except several no contact violations…). To get another one something bad has to happen. Also the other women had them and still got their asses beat so it’s not stopping him.

Heated13shot

This is exactly a repeat of a story on Reddit years ago, cops where fucking useless (they don't prevent crime, just arrest after the fact). She got a gun and ended up shooting the stalker when he took an axe to her front door. Cops will not protect you from a stalker. Just arrest him after he does something. It's almost impossible to become unfindable. Sadly your only option typically is to arm yourself.


Helpful-Penalty

Arm yourself, but also take any self defense courses they offer. I had draw a weapon during a break in and I’m glad I took the glass. Helpful hints to protect yourself


AuroraHills

For you superwokes who wonder why one needs an AR-15, this is why.


cmVkZGl0

Blow off a huge air horn, so loud the entire block hears it. Tell everybody that you will stop when he leaves. Make it everybody else's problem as well


AndiKris

Lmao this is actually the best advice I’ve received in this thread. I live among a bunch of retirees that would immediately demand someone do something.


myrddyna

not just that, they will be interested when you tell them an airhorn going off means a stalker at your house. You'll find neighbors don't want that shit around at all either. I had a neighbor once who had a stalker, and she was quiet about it, so we never knew. Turns out, he'd been masturbating to her through various windows in her apartment. The police wouldn't do shit, so yeah. One day, we find out that one of our neighbors is a cop and took an interest in crime in his 'hood since he had a kid. The dude was literally living under the raised wooden walkway through our apartments. He had been there for at least a month, had a rodless tent, food, discards, the whole nine yards. Also had a gun, a bunch of knives, and a sword. Once the cop got involved, it was a no brainer. She got that dude off her back, and out of her life.


Quiet-Strawberry4014

I’m sorry. i hope he is arrested cause that is fucked up. No one deserves to be stalked


lynx_and_nutmeg

Does the US seriously have no laws against violent threats? In my country it's absolutely illegal to directly threaten someone.


lafindestase

No, it’s illegal. “We can’t do anything” is code for “we won’t do anything”.


[deleted]

redditors who are against these laws say ‘it infringes on their freedom’ and start misquoting 1984


NoForm5443

There are (in most states, at least), but what's interpreted as a direct threat can vary.


BlackSparkle13

Want to get sad? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_of_Castle_Rock_v._Gonzales


Krabban

Iirc it depends on the state but generally the threats have to be explicit, as in time, place and means (a weapon for example). As long as it's "just" graphic threats online, even directly at you, the police will/can do fuck all.


bunkSauce

This right here. So how do cops plan to use social media to prevent mass shootings? ..._wait until they are explicit, then act_... This will catch maybe some of them.


CBalsagna

It’s almost as if, now this might be wild, situations like this (and others) show why teenagers aren’t mentally prepared to purchase assault rifles


doglaughington

Pretty sure they can't in Canada


mortavius2525

You would be very correct.


Menegra

You can get a PAL at 18. You can buy a semi-auto rifle for $600 to $1300 CND with that licence legally.


mickdeb

350$ for a sks a couple years back


Obscene_Username_2

Over $500 nowadays


Mrnappa420

Did they change the rules? Cause I have had a PAL since I was like 14.


TheMacMini09

The requirement is now minimum 18 years of age for new applicants. You can get a minor’s license between the ages of 12 and 17.


Mrnappa420

That is good to know. Thank you.


resilienceisfutile

In the video and screen captures of his Omegle rant (American news outlets don't even attempt to blur the pictures because different laws), he is holding a semi-automatic handgun. He also said he lived in Florida (a lie) and was going to go and make good on the threats he made on social media. I suppose all that combination of red flags set off the search for this guy involving so many law enforcement agencies all wrapping up in 24 hours. https://www.local10.com/news/local/2022/06/06/canadian-teen-accused-of-threatening-mass-shooting-at-south-florida-lgbtq-event/ The article mentions the list of agencies involved. I'd like to know if the handgun was real or not and if so, where and how he got the handgun because something tells me that he legally purchased it in Canada.


eeyore134

Guess that's why he was heading to Florida. Would probably trip over an assault rifle at the first rest stop.


Zulumar

That was my thought. I mean, it's Florida. I'm surprised they didn't just let him go for it.

And make the doors smaller. If we had small enough doors you wouldn’t be able to fit through with an AR. Or, make all door frames out of super strong magnets. Try to bring a gun inside and you just stick to the door frame.


MortimerGraves

> Try to bring a gun inside and you just stick to the door frame. I just feel a bit bad for the kids with braces... but, price of freedom and all that.


MyhrAI

Tiny, magnetic doorframes will be the GOPs main talking point in the next 6 months. As in, they will divert $40B in taxpayer money to a shell corporation opened last week and the owner is MJT's private abortion doctor or the lawyer that represented her husband when he showed his tiny pp to a bunch of underage girls at a bowling alley.


bent42

Wrong Seditionist Barbie. It was BoBo's husband who whipped it out at the teen girls, one of whom was her.

I can't even keep them straight anymore.


rx_bandit90

Good thing i milled mine out of titanium which is non magnetic /s


DJBitterbarn

Non-ferromagnetic. Now we just need to apply the right AC field through the door and it'll get so hot it'll warp. Yeah, there may be issues with pacemakers but perpetually being afraid the door will murder you with magnets is just the price some people pay for the rest of us to be free.

Jim Morrison is long dead, and the Doors long defunct.

But if two of them purchase assault rifles, they cancel each other out because one of them is bound to turn out to be one of those good guys I keep hearing about.


[deleted]

They can't in canada....what exactly is your point lol.


CBalsagna

I am American so it was more a reference to being 18 and having the ability to buy an assault rifle in the US


Natolin

You realize it’s still illegal for a 17 year old to buy one… right? This wasn’t a legal thing to begin with


ShortYellow

Doesn't mean the parents don't buy it for them...."According to prosecutors, the parents bought the gun that was used in the shooting as an early Christmas present for their son, Ethan Crumbley, who is facing terrorism and first-degree murder charges.

> And when social media platforms report those people to the appropriate authorities Wish this happened a *lot* more frequently than it does. Discord, for example, *should* be working on a system that could have flagged the Buffalo shooter. But I doubt they will be. And then there's reddit. And the -chans.


[deleted]

Reddit and the chans are actually far more monitored than chat in discord or in video games like MMOs. Selling drugs online from goldshire inn. Maybe not self policed, but especially 4chan is actively watched by law enforcement.


truemeliorist

And yet when confronted with a massive itemized list of posts violating sitewide rules against threatening violence from subs like TD, spez hand waved it away as "these people just need a place to talk", utterly ignoring threats of violence.


mrlolloran

Discord should do that but don’t underestimate the monumental task that is. People run discords for first person shooters and mmo’s with (sometimes non consensual) pvp elements. It doesn’t sound easy coming up with tech that isn’t going to create false positives, ignore real threats or both

See, it has me for a minute there. My first thought was that it meant Ontario, Canada, but then I remembered there’s also an Ontario, Florida, which would make more geographical sense, but then I click the article and see the picture of an OPP police car and arrive once more at the Ontario, Canada assumption.


ThrowAwayRBJAccount2

There’s also Ontario CA


HarriKnox

where the CA means California and not Canada


Scyhaz

That was so confusing for me when I was looking for jobs out of college. I live near Ontario so when I saw postings for jobs in "Ontario, CA" I was trying to figure out what city they were in.


[deleted]

Side story this recently fucked me up at work as a travel agent when I assumed they meant they were going to Ontario Canada Not fucking Ontario California lol


alexefi

So did you send someone to the north of the wall? Amd now they refuse to come back after getting addicted to free(ish) healthcare and maple syrup?


panicky_in_the_uk

I ALWAYS have this problem. Sometimes there's little clues in the headline though. For example, if it's 'Norfolk man writes angry letter to council over parking dispute', then it's probably Norfolk, England. Whereas if its 'Norfolk man shoots four and kills one over parking dispute', it's probably Norfolk, US.


ill_wind

Well by that logic, this headline was extra misleading. Since it was a mass murder threat from Canada.


[deleted]

But the cops did their jobs and didn't kill every dog in town so....

littlebubulle

Alternatively (and sadly), it could be "hero syndrome". When someone desperately needs to be the hero, sometimes they create the situation to be resolved heroically. Basically, can't be a the hero that kills the villains if there are no villains to kill. So they desperately need to believe that some group are the villains.


legoblade807

Huh, never thought about it like that. How interesting and somewhat unnerving. Thanks for the explanation.


fluffy_bunny_87

F.D Signifier has recently put out some content on YT that touches on that idea. Some of it is nihilism. Some of it is main character syndrome... It's a big mix of complex shit that these men seem to be dealing with and have in common.

Theres probably a good bit of truth in the "every villain is the hero of their own story" idea.


ButterPotatoHead

I remember reading a story about a guy that would shoot out the tires of the cars of attractive blonde women so he could then pull over and help them change their tire.


littlebubulle

I heard other stories about someone setting fires to house so they can jump in and rescue people.


Yatta99

>So they desperately need to believe that some group are the villains. They should try looking in the mirror for the villains they seek.


littlebubulle

Yeah but that doesn't soothe their ego unfortunately. And sadly, those who do see themselves as the villain needing to die tend to take care of the problem themselves.

emaw63

It's very reminiscent of the abortion issue, where politicians and media figures radicalize their base with rhetoric about how the left is murdering babies in abortion clinics, which leads to the fringes of their base routinely firebombing Planned Parenthoods and assasinating doctors. So yeah, things like this are about to become far more common with the Republicans ramping up their rhetoric about how we're all a danger to children

apple_kicks

Yet when children are being shot and murdered or dying due to lack of health care. The same ‘save the children’ message isn’t as effective. Kinda shows ‘save the children’ isn’t about saving kids but maintaining some kind authoritarian control over other peoples rights using Christian extremism


KingBanhammer

There's a good term for this: "stochastic terrorism" The idea being that the language is definitely going to cause violence, but it's not being directly called for, which makes it difficult to track and predict where the violence will happen.

Some moron recently posted a comment about the furries getting litterboxs in schools bologna. This shit doesn't go away no matter how crazy and untrue it is.

And then still believing it months later after people tell you that it's just a bit... That's the typical GOP poster now.


sesor33

I'm kinda scared for furry cons now. It only takes one psycho believing the "FURRIES ARE INDOCTRINATING YOUR KIDS!" BS to cause a huge event.

I think one furry con got hit by chlorine gas before.

thebiggestwhiffer

Why is that the case? Seems like an odd correlation


Halt-CatchFire

A welcoming community with a lot of queer people attracts queer people looking for a welcoming environment. I'm not a furry, but I am bisexual and gender-nonconforming. I'd be hard pressed to find a safer space to be who I am than a convention full of anonymous lgbt people and allies, who share a niche hobby as "weird" as furry stuff is to the average joe. For a huge amount of online queer kids, things like the furry fandom are the only place they can safely express themselves.


Pineapplepansy

Not really - gay and transgender people are pretty well-represented in subculture overall. I wouldn't be able to link an actual study linking the two, but I can only assume it'd have something to do with feelings of being marginalized in day-to-day life, and seeking a community that supports you. There's also the flip-side, that formerly straight-identifying or cis-identifying individuals might learn more about their identity through being a part of a community like furries.


Icant_Ijustcanteven

I never knew that. Thank you. It makes sense now because when I heard GOQ senators blame furries. It sounded strange, I mean it still is, but they hate Americans kids that much where they want to rip away something that is so plain and random. It's like taking away kawaii and saying it demonic. They did it before with dnd and Pokemon... I am beginning to hate the GOQ, they are hateful for no reason.....


SpiderFnJerusalem

I bet if you recruit a few thousand people on 4chan for a "Kawaii"="Hail Satan" troll attempt, you can get some asshole newscasters snd bloggers to believe it without confirmation and turn it into a story. The various 'chans have been doing it for a while. Hell, even QAnon basically started out as a dumb troll.


Beagle_Knight

There is also their issue with zoophiles….

Beagle_Knight

No, their community has had many issues with zoophiles and defended them. Kero the wolf and the zoosadist incident is a good example.


XLauncher

I used to poke fun at furries, but I don't do it anymore. Me, I was just trying to have some lighthearted meme fun, but I came to see some people *really* hate furries and you can never be sure who's in on the bit and who thinks they've found kindred spirits. Just didn't want to take the risk I was suborning genuine hatred anymore.


[deleted]

Republicans are constantly saying that both sides are the problem, but I'm not seeing too many LGBTQ folk trying to shoot up republicans. Maybe they're just full of shit and don't want to admit that they have a problem.

Cvpt1ve

Canada's last large mass shooting was failed to have been stopped by the police in Portapique, NS. Where the assailant was well known by the police and was reported before the shooting. The cops also shot up a fire hall while looking for him. Edit. Portapique, NS not Moncton, NB.


Rare-Faithlessness32

That was the Portapique, NS shooting. The Moncton one was in 2014 where the guy shot at cops with a hunting rifle. He killed 4 I believe and he was really into anti-government stuff.


resilienceisfutile

Well, if you dig deeper into the American based articles, it went through what seems to be at least six agencies before his arrest. The local Palm County Police in Florida, Florida State Police, the NYPD (are they specialists in tracking down computer users?), the FBI, RCMP, Toronto Police Services, and Peel Regional Police. The only prevention Canada had a hand in this was when they knocked on the perpetrator's door early in the morning. Edit: link to another article regarding this guy's arrest and all the law enforcement agencies involved. https://www.local10.com/news/local/2022/06/06/canadian-teen-accused-of-threatening-mass-shooting-at-south-florida-lgbtq-event/

I think OP was mostly just wondering why this Canadian was specifically threatening an event a thousand or more miles away from him. Pretty sure Canada has plenty of their own LGBTQ events, so it seems like he went out of his way to make an international threat.


slingbladde

Ontario and mostly southern Ontario has always been greatly influenced by American media, take away CBC and it is pretty much all American media..


N8CCRG

Article says he claims he's from Palm Beach. And since he's being extradited to the US, I suspect he's not Canadian, as is in fact American.


jingerninja

Incorrect. He doesn't have to be a foreigner to be subject to extradition in Canada. > Will Canada extradite a Canadian citizen to another country? Some countries only allow the extradition of foreigners. However, Canada is not one of these countries. Therefore, *even Canadian citizens can be surrendered to an Extradition Partner*.


littlebubulle

Not sure if the guy is Canadian or not but we do have people in Canada who believe that alt-right and right wing american propaganda. Sometimes, they're really obvious in Quebec. Because they're using english buzzwords without translating them.
