Reality television psychologist Dr. Robi Ludwig asserted to Fox News that a mass shooting in California over the weekend may have been triggered because the suspect could not cope with his homosexual impulses.
In a videos posted on YouTube, 22-year-old Elliot Rodger explained that he had planned a shooting rampage to get retribution on women for rejecting him.
All you girls who rejected me and looked down upon me and treated me like scum, while you gave yourself to other men, Rodger said just hours before gunning down six people near UC Santa Barbaras campus. And all of you men for living a better life than me. All of you sexually active men. I hate you.
By late Saturday night, Ludwig was speculating to Fox News that Rodgers gay feelings had turned him into a mass murderer.
When I was first listening to him, I was like, Oh, hes angry with women for rejecting him, Ludwig recalled. And then I started to have a different idea: Is this somebody who is trying to fight against his homosexual impulses?
Was he angry with women because they were taking away men from him? she continued. But this is a kid who couldnt connect, and felt enraged, and wanted to obliterate anyone that made him feel like a nothing.
Ludwig later declared that Rogers could have been angry at the men for not choosing him.
This was just a kid that was angry in general. He probably felt rejected, he couldnt connect, he couldnt feel loved, he couldnt feel successful. Maybe he couldnt even feel like a real man.

There was a similar post where someone else on DU also suggested that "perhaps he was gay"
The fact is most mass murders are committed by straights is obviously a small fact that they do not want to bring up.
No surprise it is coming from faux, am surprised something similar was posted on DU

It's funny how some people look at a late adolescent pretty boy and ASSume he's got to be gay. I didn't get that impression at all from his tapes. I got the impression of a ridiculously entitled male who thought women were a species of cattle who owed him their orifices whenever he felt horny and was outraged when they had other ideas. Some of his web postings were borderline insane, tearing into any random woman for no discernible reason.
It's too bad his parents didn't buy him a Real Doll to go into the passenger seat of his Beemer. One of those would have solved all his problems.

(7,234 posts)He just wanted to kill a bunch of people but knew doing that would make him look like a monster so he put out the sob story about not getting laid as cover ...and it worked. The whole sob story that Chris Dorner put out worked pretty well too.
