Toronto police say the driver who allegedly ran down and killed 10 pedestrians on a downtown sidewalk with his van left a "cryptic" Facebook message just moments before the attack.

A court Tuesday charged Alek Minassian with 10 counts of first degree murder and 13 counts of attempted murder. He kept his head down and did not enter a plea.

Police are examining what they describe as Minassian's cryptic message, hoping it will help them figure out his motive.

He praised the young man who killed six people before killing himself at a California community college in 2014 as "the Supreme Gentleman."

Police say Minassian also declared on his now-deleted Facebook account that "The Incel Rebellion has already begun. We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys."

"Incel" is apparently social media slang for people who have no success romantically while "Chad and Stacy" refer to attractive men and women who are far more successful in finding love.
