Scott Beierle, 40, the man who killed two women in Tallahassee, Florida, yoga studio before apparently killing himself, appeared to have posted dozens of misogynistic and racist videos and songs to YouTube and SoundCloud prior to the attack.
Tallahassee Police identified Beierle as the shooter who killed Nancy Van Vessem, 61, and Maura Binkley, 21, and injured several people inside.
Beierle's past, which has been discussed several months ago, which show Beierle discussing his misogyny, his racist beliefs that interracial couples stemmed from mental illness, and said women who are promiscuous should be crucified.
Beierle's 17 videos only received a handful of views and it was removed by YouTube. His videos were first reported by BuzzFeed.
"Content of any type that promotes violence or includes hate speech is prohibited on YouTube." "According to a statement from the Google Press Team, which represents Youtube.
Videos uploaded to the account included titles like, "The Rebirth of My Misogynism," "The Dangers of Diversity," and "Dreadlocks are the Black Man's Mullet."
A SoundCloud account, which has since been removed, also appears to be part of the game, and it has been misogynist with "Bring Your Fatwa" and "I Do not F-Fatties."
Tallahassee Police Public Information Officer Damon Miller Jr. said he could not verify the YouTube or SoundCloud accounts. SoundCloud did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In one video, entitled "Plight of the Male Adolescent," Beierle mentioned Elliot Rodger, 22, a self-described virgin, who killed six people in Isla Vista, California. Rodger is often referred to as "incel" – short for involuntarily celibate – in toxic online message boards of people who also identify as incels.
Beierle said in the video he had a similar outlook to Rodger when he was Rodger's age.
In the United States, the subject of the law is not necessarily one of the following: incel.
Regardless, posters celebrated the Tallahassee murders, and true to form, blamed women for violence. "Women mock and ridiculous virgin males and refuse to date them, then wonder why some guys lose it," such a poster said. Another mused, "I wish these happened every week."
Police have yet to release a motive in the killings. However, Beierle had a history of harassing women and police said "he has been the subject of prior calls for service in the Tallahassee area related to harassment of young women" purpose did not elaborate. Beierle was arrested twice, in 2016 and again in 2016, on battery charges for inappropriately touching women.
As police continue to investigate, the incel community has been celebrated.
In 2009, George Sodini, 48, walked into a Pennsylvania athletic club and shot twelve women in their aerobics class, killing three, before turning the gun on himself. Police attribute Sodini's motive to "hatred" after finding a plan for the attack and chilling rants about his misfortune and hatred.
"Women just do not like me." There are 30 million women in the US (my estimate) and I can not find one. "Not one of them finds me attractive," he wrote.
Several men have left behind similar manifestos, blaming the women who they say they rejected them for the murders they would go on to commit. In 2014, Rodger listed sexual frustration and hatred for women.
Rodger, killed during his shooting, left behind a 137-page manifesto, a series of YouTube videos, and a slew of online rants that are uprooted and reasoning behind his rage.
"You will finally see that I am the one, the true alpha male," he said in one.
Alek Minassian, who allegedly killed 10 people with misogynists in a Facebook page of the year that the "incel rebellion has already begun."
