Elliot Rodger, 22, stabbed to death three people in his apartment, shot two women to death outside a sorority house and killed another man inside a deli with gunfire before apparently killing himself near the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara, on Friday, investigators said.
The summer of 2011, when Rodger turned 19, marked the start of his "endgame," in which he would either find "love, sex, friends, fun, acceptance, a sense of belonging," or vengeance against those who did enjoy that life, he wrote.
His extensive screed showed a young man boiling with anger over even the smallest perceived slights. He revealed his growing rage, expressed through tantrums, attacks with coffee, tea and orange juice and the desperate hope that winning a lottery could bring him happiness.

Yikes! This was a deeply troubled person just seething with resentment towards everyone. He started off throwing hot drinks on people who don't smile at him and even tried pushing girls off a ledge. What sort of person shows their own parents PUA websites and says he's starved of sex? It was apparently a long time coming. He even ran over random people with his car for no reason.
One could get their child some closely monitored treatment or therapy of some sort instead of a BMW.

(12,958 posts)His 'manifesto' is a window into madness:
"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 canthave them, no one will,
Id 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. Future generations of men
would be oblivious to these remaining womens
existence, and that is for the best. If a man grows up without knowing of the existence of women, there will be no desire for sex. Sexuality will completely cease to exist. Love will cease to exist. There will no longer be any imprint of such concepts in the human psyche. It is the only way to purify the world"
