The UCSB shooter--an Aspie with a rant against women

Post Reply New Topic

A guy apparently diagnosed with mild autism/Asperger's apparent went on a kill spree today in UCSB. He posted a video ranting against women and being a virgin. I wonder what the odds are that he's a poster here....

UCSB Shooter Rant

Man what an eye opener. I've had my frustrations over romance, and my feelings of worthlessness and not being in control and feeling unattractive....but damn I'll gladly live my life alone rather than wind up a hateful murderous thug like this guy.

Nobody here owes the public an explanation or an apology. This man chose to do what he did, and none of us were involved.

In a jaded way I thought that this will only help to validate the publics stereotypes and pre assumptions in a way that is perversely ironic, because it happened directly after the backlash following the autism/violence study.

Why do you want WP to be tainted by this madman by posting this?

Did I say that? I'm simply asking if it's possible.

There's a thing in the corner of my screen that tells me WP has over 80,000 members. So it's quite possible, but that's not the same as probable, and that's not the same as 'yep, no doubt'.

Though it's not as though WP is lacking for entitled misogynist sorts who fancy themselves a 'gentleman' and a 'nice guy' and are agonisingly disatisfied with their failures in romance.

These guys just feel utterly powerless through frequent rejections over a long period of time, as males we tend to be the ones burdened with risking rejections, which can make some of us mentally volatile if those rejections are consistent over a long period of time, it's just a matter of time before the frustration expresses itself in one form or another.

But it's really their powerlessness that they feel, and so in their powerlessness they commit the ultimate act of power -- taking a life.

Really wish that they would just kill themselves though, becoming a monster is infinitely worse than death, and it's not like you feel lonely after your blow your brains out anyways.

Agree with the above poster, this young man should have chosen suicide over lashing out at others.

Monsters are monsters regardless of gender and neurotype.

He was very particular and deliberate in the lives he was taking, though.

He was a misogynist. Have you seen the video? You could write up much of it as standard stuff on here (and elsewhere).

Transcript copy-pasted from the thread on the shooting in News:

"Hi, Elliot Rodger here.

Well? this is my last video. It all has to come to this.

Tomorrow is the day of retribution. The day in which I will have my revenge against humanity. Against all of you.

For the last 8 years of my life, ever since I?ve hit puberty, I?ve been forced to endure an existence of loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled desires. All because girls have never been attracted to me.

Girls gave their affection, and sex, and love, to other men but never to me.

I?m 22 years old and I?m still a virgin. I?ve never even kissed a girl.

I?ve been through college for two and a half years, more than that actually, and I?m still a virgin.

It has been very torturous.

College is the time when everyone experiences those things such as sex, and fun, and pleasure. But in those years I?ve had to rot in loneliness.

It?s not fair. You girls have never been attracted to me.

I don?t know why you girls aren?t attracted to me, but I will punish you all for it.

It?s an injustice, a crime, because I don?t know what you don?t see in me. I?m the perfect guy, and yet you throw yourselves at all these obnoxious men, instead of me, the supreme gentlemen.

I will punish all of you for it. (laughs)

On the day of retribution I am going to enter the hottest sorority house of UCSB? and I will slaughter every single spoiled, stuck-up, blonde slut I see inside there.

All those girls that I?ve desired so much, they would?ve all rejected me and looked down upon me as an inferior man if I ever made a sexual advance towards them while they throw themselves at these obnoxious brutes.

I will take great pleasure in slaughtering all of you.

You will finally see that I am in truth the superior one. The true alpha male. (laughs)

Yes, after I?ve annihilated every single girl in the sorority house, I?ll take to the streets of Isla Vista, and slay every single person I see there.

All those popular kids who live such lives of hedonistic pleasure while I?ve had to rot in loneliness for all these years, they?ve all looked down upon me every time I try to go out and join them. They?ve all treated me like a mouse.

Well now, I will be a God compared to you. You will all be animals. You are animals, and I will slaughter you like animals. I will be a God, exacting my retribution, on all those who deserve it.

And you do deserve it, just for the crime of living a better life than me.

All you popular kids. You?ve never accepted me, and now you?ll all pay for it.

And girls, all I?ve ever wanted was to love you, and to be loved by you. I?ve wanted a girlfriend, I?ve wanted sex, I?ve wanted love, affection, adoration, but you think I?m unworthy of it.

That?s a crime that can never be forgiven.

If I can?t have you, girls, I will destroy you. (laughs)

You denied me a happy life, and in turn, I will deny all of you life. (laughs) It?s only fair.

I hate all of you, humanity is a disgusting, wretched, depraved species. If I had it in my power, I would stop at nothing, to reduce every single one of you to mountains of skulls and rivers of blood, and rightfully so.

You deserve to be annihilated. And I?ll give that to you.

You never showed me any mercy, and so I will show you none. (laughs)

You force me to suffer all my life, and now I?ll make you all suffer.

I?ve waited a long time for this.

I?ll give you exactly what you deserve."

What a horrible little entitled twat he sounds.

I don't agree with the death penalty, but from the transcript posted I wouldn't bat an eyelid if he was shot.

It honestly does not sound very different, except in immediate intent, from things I hear routinely here. Boiling down: No girls want to sleep with me, I don't know why, they're stuck-up horrible b*****s when I'm nice, everyone should understand when I lash out at women generally.

The guy was a narcissistic psychopath. No true Scotsman to me.

Just watched the video. It does indeed sound like much of the kind of thing you'd read from some male posters here on WP (minus the "I'm going to slaughter you all" type stuff).

I think people with AS and autism are more tolerant towards being ageing virgins, many of my friends don't care about it even though they're in their early-mid 20's.
