A Monster: Elliot Rodger---Privileged, Young White Guy Killer Syndrome? - Page 5

I do not need to prove anything to you. That is power itself. Good Night Moons.

Here's my take on the situation...this is making the rounds of the Net, and it makes sense to me, from what I know of Elliot's rant:

And here's my take on gun control:

John Oliver on The Daily Show, revealing how successful gun control has been in Australia. There have been NO mass shootings since it was implemented in 1996, and both murders and suicides are down by 50 to 60 percent!

WAKE UP, AMERICA!  The rest of the world thinks YOU ARE NUTS!!

Sunsilver,

excellent resource material.

Why would Australia need guns, they don't really have anything anyone else wants, much like canada, and they already destroyed the aboriginals, and it's no longer a prison.

A true paradise.

The rest of the world thinks Americans are nuts?

No surprise there, but it's not because of our right to bear arms.

Like Canada doesn't have it's own nuts.....LOL

Oops... wrong thread!

Oops,

nevermind.

Even though you moved it, I still liked that.

Here, Elliot is gone, but 2 trials will be on the way...
1. James Holmes, He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity^[5] on June 4, 2013, which the judge accepted. The trial is scheduled for October 2014. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Holmes_(suspect)

2. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. He was charged with use of a weapon of mass destruction, and with malicious destruction of property resulting in death.^[5] A trial in federal court is scheduled for November 3, 2014.^[147] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_bombings#Legal_proceedings

those trials might shed light on some things if they get coverage. I really wanted to get to see the Chelsey Manning trial, but it was not allowed. Actually it is really hard to get anything on the leakers.

Light?

I dunno.

At first glance Holmes certainly seems insane, the orange haired Joker.

Tsarnaev will be mostly political, and I doubt you'll have much access.

Would you give this guy a ride?

Moons, listen to the videos, please. You will find that Australia isn't quite the paradise you'd think. Prior to the gun control laws, there was an average of one mass shooting a year. Yes, I know, not nearly as many as in the States.

Since then...NONE. Not one.

Mass murder at a sunny college campus in a beach town would normally be considered "newsy," but Elliot Rodger's massacre at the University of California-Santa Barbara last Friday is getting surprisingly little press.


This is not a good case for liberals: The killer was an immigrant, a person of color, and the majority of his casualties resulted from attacks with a car or knife. It makes as much sense to rant about the NRA as to blame the Auto Club of America or the National Knife Collectors Association.


Rather, what we have is yet another mass murder committed by a schizophrenic -- just like those of Seung-Hui Cho, Jared Loughner, James Holmes and Adam Lanza.


Yes, they all used guns. Also, they were all males. They were all college-aged. They all had hair. Those are not distinctive characteristics.


When the last five mass murderers share something that only 1 percent of the population has, I think we've found the relevant common denominator.


Rodger had been seeing therapists since he was 8 years old. Just last year, his psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Sophy, prescribed him Risperidone, an anti-psychotic. But after looking up what Risperidone was for -- schizophrenia -- Rodger decided "it was the absolute wrong thing for me to take" and never did.


See, that's the thing about schizophrenics -- they don't think they're sick. They think the lava lamp that's talking to them is sick.


Rodger's "manifesto" reads like Nikolai Gogol's "Diary of a Madman" -- generally recognized as the first description of schizophrenia, except it's a little repetitive and not well-written, no matter what that "tech guru" says.


I'm one of the few who have read all 141 pages. It is a tale of increasing delusions, paranoia, hallucinations and wild, grandiose self-assessments. In other words, it is a slightly less whiny version of Obama's first inaugural address. (How many pages does your manifesto have to be before we can force you to take your medication?)
