A Toronto court sentenced a Canadian man to life imprisonment in a deadly stabbing attack at a massage parlor, in a landmark case that saw a Canadian judge designating an incel-inspired crime as terrorism for the first time.
The defendant, Oguzhan Sert, carried out his February 2020 attack “after extensively researching the incel culture,” Justice Sukhail Akhtar said Tuesday, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. “He sought it out, he accepted it and he acted upon it,” the judge said, adding that he did not believe Sert’s claims that he was brainwashed by the ideology.
Maybe his cellmates will view losing control of the sword and getting stabbed in the back with it as a very unmanly, incel thing unbecoming of a brand new prison removed in need of some attitude adjustment. Life behind bars could be just the beginning for this one.
