A 39-year-old rock climber is facing a slate of attempted murder charges over an alleged plot to kill random people at a Smith Rock climbing event this weekend.
The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office arrested Samson Zebturiah Garner on Thursday and took him to the county jail on several charges each of attempted murder of multiple victims, attempted first degree assault, attempted second degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon.
Law enforcement recovered a Beretta 9mm handgun, a Sig Sauer 9mm handgun and an AR-15 from Garner when he was arrested. The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office seized those weapons under an extreme risk protection order during the arrest, meaning the courts will take those guns away for at least a year.
The whole thing smells like another incel story to me. Makes me wonder if he got romantically rejected by someone (because IT nerd) and was going to damn well show that someone what a Real Man he is!
Pretty sure being an "IT nerd" has nothing to do with being romantically rejected, I don't see why you need to connect those two.
Although this situation is potentially realistic, we can't stoop to prejudicial thinking, which really makes us no better than a racist or bigot fucking with minority classes, believe it or not, many virgin men do not want to murder people. Let the evidence tell us what crimes he is guilty or innocent of, potentially some motive, and then mete out the necessary punishment. I do not defend misogyny, I despise it.
The only certainty is we are lucky they caught him before he was able to act on the alleged plot.
I mean...
