"Scott Paul Beierle was in eighth grade when he first started to hate women.
“If you haven’t seen the will a group of women can generate when they target an adult male, or really anyone,” Beierle said in a video titled “The Rebirth of my Misogynism,” one of 15 vlogs he uploaded to YouTube during a three-day span in 2014. “The target of their collective treachery was me. … That’s where it began, that was its origin until I figured out how to address it.”
Four years later, on Friday, November 2nd, Beierle, 40, walked into a yoga studio in Tallahassee, Florida, shortly before an evening class was set to begin, and shot six people, killing 21-year-old Florida State University student Maura Binkley, and faculty member Dr. Nancy Van Vessem, 61, before turning the gun on himself. While police are still searching for a motive and are investigating whether Beierle knew any of the victims or had a prior connection to the yoga studio, his four-year-old YouTube channel, original song lyrics and criminal history reveal a self-described misogynist who had twice been arrested for groping young women. In addition to racist rants about black women, interracial dating and dreadlocks (which made it “tough” for him to enjoy watching professional football), many of Beierle’s YouTube videos focused on what the Southern Poverty Law Center described as “common ‘incel’ grievances.” The “incel,” or involuntary celibate, community is largely made up of men who believe feminism has made them into sexual and romantic outcasts."
