Well he was driving a poser 3 series. Thats what poor people drive. In the area where here he lives, the minimum is a 7 series if he wants the opportunity for a first date.

His dad should have known better and should have bought him a proper vehicle. He would have been alive today and not a virgin with a girlfriend.

If 3 series is poser, what is 1 series?

Sorry, but lol. I would have thought he was a troll had he posted on ATOT with this kind of stuff.

I thought that was Body Building Forum where they regularly call every "ph***ots" until I saw Body Space.

Sounds like he expected all his toys to do the work for him.

Seriously! In some ways it reminds me of my 20s (lets just say that he's got at least a few years to go to beat my "age of lost virginity" record), but in other ways, Holy Batman-Shit Insane!

Same here... that was one of the first things I thought of. I wonder if it's the same person. :whiste:

Who? TridenT actually looks good and dances with girls now. CasioTech had a similar level of narcissism, but I don't think he was a perpetual virgin. shorty is angry, but only because he's old and fat today; he was a Hispanic hunkman in his Navy days. This guy is like a superfusion of all three of the above at their worst.

NBC nightly news just gave the guy nearly have their night coverage. They played nearly all his videos and practically covered his life. Crazies see this as their only opportunity to get some recognition and the media complies.

Was thinking of TridenT, but my info on him is dated. I mostly lurk these days, so I mostly remember him from when I used to post on ATLR a lot and spent a LOT of time trying to get through to him. Obviously T isn't as violent or narcissistic, but the "had plenty of advantages in life, but didn't make the most of them and blamed the world for all of his problems" completely reminded me of him. If he's really grown up and moved forward with his life, good for him!

Gawker is reporting that at least 3 bodies have been removed from his apartment, increasing his body count to at least 9 (excluding Rodger himself). http://gawker.com/this-afternoon-at-least-one-body-was-removed-from-the-1581174371 Weird in that I can't think of many people who carried out both serial murders and mass killings. Apparently his manifesto indicated that he planned to lure victims into his apartment to kill them, and it seems he did just that.

...... Apparently his manifesto indicated that he planned to lure victims into his apartment to kill them, and it seems he did just that.

From manifesto

...... On the day before the Day of Retribution, I will start the First Phase of my vengeance: Silently killing as many people as I can around Isla Vista by luring them into my apartment through some form of trickery. The first people I would have to kill are my two housemates, to secure the entire apartment for myself as my personal torture and killing chamber. After that, I will start luring people into my apartment, knock them out with a hammer, and slit their throats. I will torture some of the good looking people before I kill them, assuming that the good looking ones had the best sex lives. All of that pleasure they had in life, I will punish by bringing them pain and suffering. I have lived a life of pain and suffering, and it was time to bring that pain to people who actually deserve it. I will cut them, flay them, strip all the skin off their flesh, and pour boiling water all over them while they are still alive, as well as any other form of torture I could possibly think of. When they are dead, I will behead them and keep their heads in a bag, for their heads will play a major role in the final phase. This First Phase will represent my
vengeance against all of the men who have had pleasurable sex lives while I’ve had to suffer. Things will be fair once I make them suffer as I did. I will finally even the score

I scanned the manifesto. It's interesting in that he is obviously bright and has a remarkably detailed memory of his early years - certainly more so than I do or did at his age. He seems obsessed with status in all respects (i.e., financial and social), and although his mother is Asian he clearly seems to view white people as superior to other races (in particular he refers to black and fully-Asian people as inferior to himself based purely on their race). He claims his father is descended from British royalty, which is certainly possible in that there are a lot of low-level royals in England. In general, he seems remarkably paranoid, socially inept and obsessively narcissistic. He was apparently under the treatment of a psychiatrist, at least at some point, and it would be interesting to know what diagnosis, if any, he was given. Based solely on the manifesto I would not be surprised if he was on the autism spectrum, but he clearly also had a deeply narcissistic and anti-social streak.

The "Day of Retribution" plans were very creepy. He had been planning the "Day of Retribution" since at least October 2013. In a nutshell, he bought two and perhaps 3 pistols, and planned to kill his roommates and as many other people as he could lure into his apartment and behead them. He would then use his father's SUV (which he painstakingly refers to as a Mercedes every time it is mentioned) to go on a killing spree, including running people down, perpetrating a mass killing in a particular sorority house, and brandishing the heads of his earlier victims to show people how dangerous he was. He ultimately planned to take a combination of Xanax, Vicodin and hard liquor, then shoot himself in the head with two guns simultaneously, to end the Day of Retribution.

One thing I will say in his favor: He hated Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull almost as much as me.

They couldn't even get Congress to approve universal background checks. Striking the second amendment completely is a pipe dream.

Besides, for the numbers of dead we're talking about, gun violence is relatively small potatoes. We have the same number of gun homicides (non-suicides) as drunk driving deaths, and we haven't banned alcohol in almost 100 years.

Small potatoes? Wow
Wait till it's your kids.



If people cared half as much about their kids than they do about their guns then idiots like this guy would have had the right treatment and care to prevent these kinds of things.



Am I the only one who thinks the comments about gun control in every god damn thread about a tragedy involving guns absolute reprehensible ?

Shifman, the attorney for the Rodger family, said the family called police several weeks ago after being alarmed by YouTube videos "regarding suicide and the killing of people" that Rodger's son, Elliot Rodger, had been posting.

Police interviewed Elliot Rodger and found him to be a "perfectly polite, kind and wonderful human," he added. Police did not find a history of guns, but did say Rodger "didn't have a lot of friends," had trouble making friends and didn't have any girlfriends.

Thanks for the synopsis, I've read somewhere he's been diagnosed with Aspergers. I wonder if the subject of his Aspergers is status, which would be rather interesting, given that the autistic-spectrum kids generally don't at all grasp social constructs as that.

Knowing enough east Asians, you don't need the "although".

I'd say this kid failed spectacularly at grasping social constructs.
