"No matter what I will be heroic. I will make a statement like Elliot Rodgers [sic] did., he thought to himself."Elliot Rodger, who killed six people and himself in a , left behind a manifesto that is frequently cited by incels, or so-called involuntary celibate males who target women.When Carini was confronted in hospital by agents with the evidence they had uncovered, he continued to repeat his story about the lawnmower.He is currently facing one charge of lying to FBI agents.Carini, who is currently being held at Western Virginia Regional Jail, had previously been on probation for explosives-related charges as a minor.No attorney is listed for Carini.
