A Montreal shooter left behind a 104-page manifesto calling to “KILL THEM ALL” — and what’s inside reveals a toxic mix of woman-hatred, Marxism, and antisemitism that mainstream media is struggling to fully explain.
Story Highlights
- Seth Scott Hatfield, 25, from Lethbridge, Alberta, killed a police officer and a civilian in Montreal on June 22, 2026, before being shot dead by police.
- His 104-page manifesto calls for violent revolution against women, elite bankers, and pornography industry executives, ending with the command “KILL THEM ALL.”
- The document blends incel-style rage, open praise for Marx and communism, and explicit antisemitic claims about Jewish control of finance and media.
- Experts say online radicalization and incel communities are fueling this kind of violence, but authorities have not yet classified the attack as terrorism.
A Deadly Attack in Montreal
On June 22, 2026, Seth Scott Hatfield, a 25-year-old from Lethbridge, Alberta, opened fire in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood. He killed a police officer and a civilian before police shot and killed him. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed a manifesto was found at the scene. Media outlets obtained copies of the document and began reporting on its disturbing contents within hours of the attack.[2]
The shooting shocked Montreal and sparked a national debate about radicalization. The city’s mayor called the event a “complete nightmare” and insisted the city was safe. But the manifesto told a far darker story — one that experts say reflects a growing and dangerous trend of young men being pushed toward violence by online communities.[1]
What the Manifesto Actually Says
The 104-page document is a sweeping call for violent revolution. It blames what Hatfield called the “hypergamy state” — his term for a society where women pursue only the most attractive men, leaving “common” men behind. The manifesto calls for targeting elite bankers, politicians, pornography industry executives, and billionaire chief executive officers. It closes with the chilling line: “Be steadfast, move forward, and KILL THEM ALL!”[3]
The document never uses the word “incel” — short for “involuntarily celibate” — but it repeatedly talks about “involuntary loneliness” and being “deprived of intimacy.” It attacks women with harsh language and expresses deep jealousy toward men it calls “favoured.” Experts in extremism say those themes match the incel movement closely, even without the label.[1] The manifesto also praises Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, condemns capitalism, and claims that “Jewish interests dominate the levers of finance, media, and politics” — calling out a so-called “Judaeo-bourgeois class.”[5]
A Toxic Blend of Ideologies
University of Sherbrooke professor David Morin, who reviewed the manifesto, described it as mixing strong anti-capitalist ideas with a “deeply masculinist and anti-feminist” view of society. He said the call for violence runs throughout the entire document. That blend of hatred — targeting women, Jewish people, and capitalists all at once — makes the motive hard to pin down with a single label.[12]
Seth Scott Hatfield, 25, from Lethbridge, Alberta (philosophy student), has been identified by Quebec coroner as the gunman in the June 22 Côte-des-Neiges shooting. He allegedly killed Montreal police Const. Mohamed Lamine Benredouane (34) and civilian Michel Mizrahi (68) before…

Former Ottawa police chief Charles Bordeleau urged caution, saying the wide range of hateful targets in the manifesto makes it too early to settle on one motive. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have not released the full document, so media reports rely on copies obtained independently. Researchers note that lone attackers often pull from multiple extremist ideas at once — incel rage, Marxist class warfare, and antisemitic conspiracy theories — without fitting neatly into one category.[2] What is clear is that online spaces are feeding this radicalization. Experts describe incel forums as places where men are actively told “go out and take some people with you.”[6] These communities thrive in the dark corners of the internet, and no government bill has yet stopped their spread.
