Police arrested a 27-year-old man who threatened to carry out a mass shooting against women. Christopher Cleary shared on Facebook that want to shoot "as many girls as I see" in what he saw as retribution for romantic rejection.
"All I wanted was to be loved, yet no one cares about me," he allegedly shared in the Facebook post. "I'm 27 years old and I've never had a girlfriend before and I'm still a virgin, this is why I'm planning on shooting up a public place soon and being the next mass shooter."
"I'm ready to die and all the girls the turned me down is going to make it right by killing as many girls as I see," he added.
Cleary was apprehended in Provo, Utah. He was already on probation over charges of stalking and threatening a woman. He was charged with violating probation and making terroristic threats.
Authorities said that they were concerned that Cleary would target Women's Marches in the state.
"An additional concern had to do with several Women's Marches taking place in various locations throughout the state today, including a march in Provo, and another in Salt Lake City," the arresting officer wrote in a statement, according to Yahoo. "The Probation Office contacted me and let me know that this is a pattern of behavior with Cleary."
Cleary's intention to commit terrorism over a perceived lack of romantic options follows in the footsteps of Elliott Rodger and the Tallahassee shooter.
