7 dead because shooter couldn't get laid

[Felicitates]

Watching this entire thing unfold I couldn't help but feel like he was the little Joffrey Lannister character irl.

What terrifies me more is how much rape culture is perpetuated... just look at the comments...




is it weird we don't use the words "hate crime" over something like this?

waving this off as "another incident of a crazy person" is terrible. "destigmatizing mental illness will also help us stop treating it like a black box, e.g. when shootings happen just kinda shrugging at the pathology."

[Flonne]

Watching this entire thing unfold I couldn't help but feel like he was the little Joffrey Lannister character irl.

Now that I think of it, god damn he really does remind me of him. In fact, he mentioned in one of the later chapters that he really liked ASoIaF, and he "feels a deep connection to a couple of the characters". LOL

He's basically Joffrey if Joffrey hadn't been born into royalty.

[IllegallySane]

Ugh, this is yet another painful stain on humanity. The guy's already far better off than the majority and he thinks his 1st world problem warrants killing people? Clearly the parents never gave him a hard slap across the face for doing something stupid. His social reputation is already tarnished because who'll want to date a killer. He pretty much worsened his own "problem", and self fulfilled the very thing that'll bite him back in the ass down the road.

Those comments are indeed disturbing. We clearly need to have some discussions about why these lone gunman rampages have become so prevalent in the US. At this point, we have to own up to some responsibility and figure out what can be done about it.

It's a really complex issue and one that I won't claim to have an answer too.

horrifying.

It touches a lot of tender places in US culture, politics, issues etc. Right now several camps of thought are arguing over "whose fault it is" in the sense of "where society went wrong". As far as finding a solution, I don't know, it may take eons.

We need arrest warrants out of principle.

HOOOLY pomegranate, it's the jackpot

How could an inferior, ugly black person be able to get a white girl and not me? I am beautiful, and half white myself. I am descended from British aristocracy; HE is descended from slaves. I deserve more. If this ugly black filth was able to have sex with a blonde white girl at the age of thirteen while I've had to suffer virginity all my life, then this just proves how ridiculous the female gender is. They would give themselves to this filthy scum but reject me?

The rest of it so far has been pretty borderline racist, as well as incredibly douchebaggy, but this is my favorite paragraph so far, what a pineappleing ass lmao.

ahahaha

August 5th came quickly, and I prepared myself to be in a pleasant mood to meet them. Their names were Ryan and Angel, and to my dismay, they were of Hispanic race. In addition, the two of them were already friends with each other, which meant that they could possibly gang up against me if any conflicts were to arise. They seemed like rowdy, low class types...this was extremely disappointing. I was hoping I would get decent, mature, clear-cut housemates. Instead I got this low class scum.

He is dead... So... yeah.

Honestly, I think the USA should start using smartguns only for the civil people.

didn-t you get to the sister part or something? that was downright creepy.

I'm asking my best friend who is about to graduate as a psychologist. The interesting thing is that he himself is a 24 year old virgin, but he takes some weird pride in it.

25 year old virgin not giving a pineapple here myself.

I'd say there is quite a bit of pride to be taken from being someone who doesn't give in to the unnecessary pressure of "needing to be laid, doesn't matter with who."

Holy pomegranate. Women don't owe anything to anyone (and vice versa!). No one owes anyone anything just for existing.

This was certainly an example of an individual who's on the far end of the morality rope, but those responses legitimately scare me. Holy crap.

[MuscleWizard]

Yes, it does. Being mentally ill is not the same thing as doing something wrong. Don't put this guy's bullpomegranate on people who actually struggle with mental illness.

ex pineappleing cuse me?

dude was clearly a sociopath, did you even listen to some of the pomegranate he was shoveling?

don't act like mental illness isn't a problem, having a diagnosis doesn't make anyone a special little snowflake, and the fact that people believe that it does is part of the problem.

speaking as someone who's had to deal with being falsely diagnosed with a mental illness, and also as someone who was forcefully medicated with pills they didn't need, against their will up until they were goddamn eighteen, don't you dare try to take the moral high ground on this one, anakin. I understand those struggles all too goddamn well.

[icephoenix21]

The amount of self pity and unwarranted self importance this guy has is beyond ridiculous.
In my opinion, you can only blame so much on society for this, there comes a time when you have to decide how you're going to act and be responsible for it.
To blame this event largely on society or a mental illness is just wrong.

Oh boohoo, ladies don't find you attractive? Suck it up, buttercup.

[ShinkuDragon]

In order to completely abolish sex, women themselves would have to be abolished. All women must
be quarantined like the plague they are, so that they can be used in a manner that actually benefits a
civilized society. In order carry this out, there must exist a new and powerful type of government, under
the control of one divine ruler, such as myself. The ruler that establishes this new order would have
complete control over every aspect of society, in order to direct it towards a good and pure place. At the
disposal of this government, there needs to be a highly trained army of fanatically loyal troops, in order
to enforce such revolutionary laws.
The first strike against women will be to quarantine all of them in concentration camps. At these
camps, the vast majority of the female population will be deliberately starved to death. That would be
an efficient and fitting way to kill them all off. I would take great pleasure and satisfaction in
condemning every single woman on earth to starve to death. I would have an enormous tower built just
for myself, where I can oversee the entire concentration camp and gleefully watch them all die. If I can’t
have them, no one will, I’d imagine thinking to myself as I oversee this. Women represent everything
that is unfair with this world, and in order to make the world a fair place, they must all be eradicated.
A few women would be spared, however, for the sake of reproduction. These women would be kept
and bred in secret labs. There, they will be artificially inseminated with sperm samples in order to
produce offspring. Their depraved nature will slowly be bred out of them in time.

this legit scares me, i dunno if anyone remembers "the femitheist" but she was the one that had a blog where she suggested the perfect world would have international castration day, and be a woman-built society where men were milked then castrated, while women would also hold all position of power to prevent men from going to war.

it's like i'm reading the male version of the femitheist above.

edit: holy pomegranate

I found out that my mother was actually dating Jack, the wealthy man who owned the Malibu beach
house. I always thought he was only her friend. My mother never told me or my sister about any men
that she dated. She always kept that strictly private. I hadn’t even met Jack yet. He was worth well over
$500 million, and he owned other mansions in Bel Air and Beverly Hills.
When I found out about this, I started to harbor the hope that my mother will get married to this
man, and I will be part of a rich family. That will definitely be a way out of my miserable and insignificant
life. Money would solve everything. I started to frequently ask my mother to seek marriage with this
man, or any wealthy man for that matter. She always adamantly refused, and demanded that I stopped
talking about it. She told me that she never wanted to get married again after her experience with my
father. I told her that she should sacrifice her well-being for the sake of my happiness, but this only
offended her further.

every time i think i can't get surprised more this kid just goes above and beyond, speechless.

When you're in an echo chamber like this, you don't need to be crazy to think what you're doing is okay, everyone you ask says it is... jesus pineapple in a fruit salad. What a toxic culture.

[Lozmaster]

He just murdered 6+ people and he still counts as "a nice guy". What do these loonies think you have to do to no longer be a nice guy?

I'm against internet censorship for the most part, but when you get lunatics circlejerking themselves over something as serious as this, it does make me wonder if the governments have a point sometimes...

You can't even really blame society for this; he's a moderately attractive guy, suffice to say. That and coupled with his supposed status. If ladies didn't find him attractive then something is inherently wrong with him, not society, and it's not hard to see why.

Apparently he forgot that people expected things of him as well.

I meant interesting as in the insight he might give me, but he just said that the guy was just unbelievably selfish. I'll ask again if I remember.

As for the pride thing, it's a weird kind of pride. Not like yours, not insane like the guy in the article... I don't know how to describe it though.

"I'm saving myself for the right person"?

Also, @MariaColette, no offense, but you're a girl. Society views virgin women and virgin men totally differently.

hmm. It's more or less a mixture of "I'm saving myself for the 'right' person" + "I'm too cool and not cool enough for the right person, anyway... if it exists" + (I'm not sure about this) "There's something poetic? (or something like that) in being this old and a virgin". It sounds like it's all about being 'interesting' and... cool? for doing things that are uncool to the rest, I guess. But I'm not sure if it's truly just a hipster-ish thing alone.

doing further research led to me this

Rodger was being treated by multiple therapists and was a student at Santa Barbara City College, said family lawyer Alan Schifman.

he was in therapy. and yet he still went berzerk. can you still just blame this on mentally ill? are we still not going to talk about the misogyny?
also:

Brown said cops have had three previous contacts with Rodger before Friday's shooting, including when a member of Rodger's family asked police to check on him because of alarm over his behavior and videos. Brown said the cops found no reason to take further action on Rodger.
