The 17-year-old suspect from Garwood — a son of a retired police officer and the nephew of the Westfield police chief — was charged Wednesday with the first-degree murders of Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas.

Relatives of Niiotis said the teen had been stalking her for months — something the teen suspect acknowledged on livestreams of his MLB co-op games, which attracted thousands of followers on TikTok.

    he was stalking the girl, he was upset because he didn’t get his way… he found an excuse to harm her… it wasn’t because he was Maga, it was because she didn’t see how perfect he was for her or some bullshit like that

        The alt-right is certainly targeting men, so it is correlated, but I think it’s important to note that these girls were targeted because of their gender first and foremost. The ‘Charlie Kirk’ aspect was just the excuse provided by the perpetrator. There’s a deeper issue at play and should be acknowledged.

        I’ve never been truly stalked before, but I started working early and naively had a picture on OKCupid (when it was new and all the rage) when I was 18. I had a guy I never actually talked to show up at my work and seek me out. I was 18 and dumb, but I’m glad I learned that lesson. It could have been so much worse.

        Im mentally ill, I never stalked or killed anyone, whats your point?

        Days before the deadly crash, while hosting an online baseball game live-streamed on YouTube on Sept. 23, the suspect talks about sending a pizza to “Maria’s house” by using his old iPhone as a burner because his number had been blocked. The suspect says he will order the pizza for cash on delivery.

        “I think Maria’s hungry. I think we’re going to send her two pizzas. So you all know I have a vengeance against this girl for accusing me of sending porn and s**t. I’m going to call a pizza to her house.”

        He also says Maria’s mother has a "stupid f**kin’ name and accused her of reporting the porn.

        “So Fouli, you made a bad decision making a bad name of myself. You made a bad decision having this girl return to that school without me being there,” the teen says on the video, referencing the girl’s mother.

        Someone watching the stream suggests he go to the house and watch the pizza be delivered. He rejected the idea because the mother called the police before.

        read the whole article, the guy was a fucking pig and a creep, being egged on by a livestream “community” of creeps and pigs.

        Don’t throw a no context “oh he’s just mentally ill” with no further comment, you make me sick

          You’re certainly reading a lot into my comment that I didn’t say.

          This is the sociopathy of the alt-right. I said nothing about all mental illness in general.

            people can have ASPD & still use cognitive empathy & never harm people. not to mention how this murderer wasn’t diagnosed with anything like ASPD or NPD etc.

            if someone’s a vile, cruel, misogynistic, racist, murderer, we can just call them that. we can get creative with our insults without letting an already vulnerable population catch any strays.

        I’m just sick of everything having to be about the left, right, Democrats, or Republicans… why can’t it just be about a stalker who was allowed to cause harm to somebody because nobody took actions to stop it

          Because the far right lionizes pieces of shit who agree with their views and this particular piece of shit is hoping it will happen to him.

          because mental ilness and beinf far right has been proven again in many studies, stop trying to “this is not a conservative thing” Democrats overwhelming dont do mass shootings, or murders like this.
