Scott Paul Beierle, the man Tallahassee Police identified as the person who shot and killed two women at a yoga studio on Friday, expressed disturbing ideas about women and adopted the moniker “Carnifex” — Latin for executioner — in a series of online videos and music clips. Beierle, a 40-year-old resident of Deltona, Florida, died after shooting himself Friday. Police say he shot and killed 61-year-old Nancy Van Vessem and 21-year-old Maura Binkley and injured five others at the Hot Yoga Tallahassee studio.

Officer Damon Miller, a spokesman for the Tallahassee Police, said investigators are looking into Beierle’s motive and whether he knew any of the victims. Buzzfeed first reported on Beierle’s YouTube and SoundCloud accounts which included a video titled “Plight of the Adolescent Male,” where Beierle likened his younger self to mass murderer Elliot Rodger.

Rodger is a hero to the “incel” or involuntary celibate community, a largely online and deeply misogynistic subculture made up of men who view themselves as sexual outcasts victimized by the advances of feminism. In 2014, Rodger targeted a sorority on his college campus and killed six and injured another 14 people in Isla Vista, California. Before his rampage, Rodger posted a manifesto online blaming women for the fact that he was still a virgin. Rodgers has been referenced in several other killings, including a van-ramming attack in Toronto earlier this year that killed 10.

1. We live near Isla Vista. I remember what a shock the Elliot Rodger

shooting was. It was months before there was any sense of normalcy at UCSB.

2. There are some maladjusted, sick puppies out there. Women be careful.

3. What a surprise

4. Violence against women is an indicator that society doesn't take seriously.

Changing the way we view violence against women is key to decreasing violence as a whole in our society.

5. Ugh

There are some sick motherfuckers out there. Women don't owe it to you to get you laid. I am sick of these weak and pathetic, spineless and gutless turds blaming women for their own failings instead of taking responsibility for themselves.

6. I like the way CNN handled that today, without mentioning any of their names.

CNN referred to “ the yoga killer” and “the killer from 2014”

No one should give them the notoriety they so craved.

7. The sooner incels are cast into the fiery pit from hell from which they came the better.
