Tallahassee yoga shooter's YouTube filled with misogynistic, racist rants

Source: The Hill

The man who shot and killed two women at a Florida yoga studio Friday had a YouTube channel filled with sexist, racist rants in which he identified himself as a "misogynist" and expressed sympathy for "involuntary celibates."

Tallahassee, Fla. police have identified 40-year-old Scott Beierle as the man who killed two women and wounded four others along with a man at a yoga studio on Friday afternoon before killing himself.

Buzzfeed News first reported on his YouTube, which consists of 12 videos that show Beirle ranting to the camera about a range of topics related to gender relations and race. All of the videos appear to have been posted four years ago.

The news comes after multiple outlets reported that Beierle was charged with battery twice for assaulting women in 2012 and 2016. He was arrested in 2012 after allegedly grabbing the rear ends of two women on a college campus, and again in 2016 for slapping and grabbing the buttocks of another woman in a pool, the Tallahassee Democrat reported.

The charges were dismissed both times.

Seems to me the charges should be revisited and their dismissal explained in fine detail...

I was just about to post "sounds like he's probably an Incel creep" ... but then ... I needed to go grocery shopping, and forgot.

So ... no sign I take it this was anything but a random shooting, no 'target'? Just a F***ING COWARDLY LITTLE POS who decides to find a vulnerable group like a Yoga Class, knowing it's likely mostly women, who he hates cause they've given him sadz, and then just starts shooting?

What an asshole ...

At least he saved the taxpayers some dough by offing himself ... I guess ...
