Toronto van attack suspect may have felt anger towards womenLINKEDIN Alex Minassian, the suspect in the Toronto van attack, posted a message to Facebook just before the incident that suggested he was part of an online community angry over their inability to form relationships with women. 1 NEWS Witnesses say the driver of the van was deliberately targeting pedestrians in Toronto. The attitudes of men who visit the boards vary widely, but online they frequently vent anger against sexually prolific men ("Chads") and women ("Stacys"). For the latest on the Toronto attack we're joined by Laura McQuillan who is a New Zealand journalist in Toronto. Like-minded people in internet forums sometimes use "Chad'' and "Stacy'' as dismissive slang for men and women with more robust sex lives.
