Word Cloud of the Killer's Manifesto

[Ichingcarpenter]

I was curious on which words came up.

[malaise]

1. He sure was obsessed with houses

I did notice that. Had serious self esteem issues based on wealth and status. Seemed to have hated being 'mixed' - wanted to be blonde.

Everyday I realize how lucky we were like be perfectly happy with ourselves.

3. Absolutes such as always and never plus

mother father issues..... I thought sex would come up more than it did

Anyway, I thought a word cloud would help to see what was emphasized without having to read his rantings.

Do you know what kind of beamer he had ?
It looks very expensive and would pay my living expenses for years easily.

[malaise]

7. I am very curious about hte reasons why any parent would give a child with his

history of mental problems such an expensive car.

15. I think we are missing some important family dynamics

in this story between mother and father and wife and husband and those interjections with their son over the years that helped create an intrical part of the reality he perceived in regards to sex, women, wealth, status etc.

Anyway the beamer was a 2013 black BMW 328i, convertible coupe with a starting price tag of nearly ‎$47,600.00

[malaise]

17. I'm making a safe bet that mom bought it for him

and I agree that the family dynamics are a major part of the complete picture

16. he sure cried a lot for a guy too

he was always crying and having tantrums, even as an adult. also throwing drinks at people.

2. As I said on another thread...

He should have used his prolific writing skills to write a novel or a screenplay.

[Tsiyu]

8. He started writing at his mother's suggestion he'd make a great writer

His motivation was that if he were rich, his problems would be solved.

But he decided i writing wouldn't make him rich until he was forty and that was too late to wait for sex with a hot woman

[CJCRANE]

10. I think he could have made it earlier

if he'd realized all the depraved stuff he was writing could be used as fiction (I'm thinking of things like "American Psycho", "Taxi Driver" etc).

However, masses of money probably still wouldn't have cured his personality problems.

[Tsiyu]

14. No, he was really angry at his mother for not marrying a rich man

This would have solved all his problems, and he thought she was so selfish for dating wealthy men but never wanting to be married again.

So then he spent thousands on lottery tickets.

had he only won the jackpot. That was his plan. When it failed, he purchased the firearms.

But, no, he would still have been a very messed up person, just one with a lot more dough

[shenmue]

4. Wow

[ProdigalJunkMail]

5. the word cloud seems totally innocuous...

looks like something that any 20-something year old male might write.

sP

[yuiyoshida]

6. Life and Time appear to be the largest...

Looks like he has neither now.

[Tsiyu]

9. Why is Santa on there so large?

And not sex, virgin, lottery?

I have read most of it and did not see "Santa" prominently, but those other three words are there frequently, as is the word blonde.

Don't trust this word cloud completely, but it's close

EDIT: Never mind, forgot about "Santa Barabara." My bad

[KurtNYC]

11. perhaps "santa barbara" gets broken into two words for the cloud (?)

[Tsiyu]

13. Yeah, just realized this

I'm a little slow....

12. According to his friend, Rodgers became obsessed with the 2012 movie "Chronicle"
