The man involved in the recent shootings seems to have been a self-described "incel".

I have written about this group previously. This man posted videos openly lamenting his virginity, with his social media accounts suggesting an intense interest in the online “involuntary celibate” subculture. When you read about this group they appear to be misogynists who see male supremacy as their right.

One of the reasons for not making membership of this group a terrorist risk is that it will That would involve diverting resources or putting resources into it. There have been more such shootings in America.

What do you think? Is this group a terrorist risk?

@Dinahmo with regard to what you quote "In fact, it is rare for a woman to be murdered by a current or former partner without a previous history of domestic abuse" Jane Moncton Smith has studied this and worked out that there is always a pattern, they follow a similar timeline, there is no completely out of the blue, just snapping
Her book is In Control: Dangerous Relationships and How They End in Murder
www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/cheltenham-news/domestic-abuse-jane-monckton-smith-3288883 has the timeline , worth looking at
None of these seemingly out of the blue murders are out of the blue, there is always a build up to it
