The U.S. Military tells Yahoo Entertainment they warned soldiers "out of an abundance of caution."
The U.S. military issued a warning to service members about potential threats surrounding next week's theatrical release of Todd Phillips’s Joker. The news comes as some critics have called out the R-rated film for its realistic violence and humanizing portrayal of the Batman villain, played by Joaquin Phoenix, who commits acts of mass murder.
"I can confirm that the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command field office at Fort Sill, Oklahoma did send out a memorandum on this subject to a select internal group at Fort Sill on Monday," he told Yahoo Entertainment on Thursday."The internal law enforcement information was obtained from the Joint Crime Information Center, Texas Department of Public Safety. The Fort Sill CID office did so out of an abundance of caution to help keep our soldiers and their families safe.
"Incels are individuals who express frustration from perceived disadvantages to starting intimate relationships. Incel extremists idolize violent individuals like the Aurora movie theater shooter," the document read."They also idolize the Joker character, the violent clown from the Batman series, admiring his depiction as a man who must pretend to be happy, but eventually fights back against his bullies.
Grey confirmed to Yahoo Entertainment the FBI first alerted the Army to potential threats. While FBI officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment, an FBI spokesperson told Gizmodo,"While our standard practice is to not comment on specific intelligence products, the FBI is in touch with our law enforcement and private sector partners about the online posts. As always, we encourage the public to remain vigilant and to promptly report suspicious activity to law enforcement.
