Last night Elliot Rodger murdered six people and injured seven others in the Isla Vista neighborhood beside the University of California at Santa Barbara. Rodger himself was killed, either by sheriff’s deputies or by his own hand. Normally I oppose publicizing mass shootings, because almost nobody ever describes the situation accurately. People use them to further agendas. But there is a right way to report these things.

Eliot Rodger was a pathetic, narcissistic loser who deserves no sympathy. He claimed he was angry because it was “unfair” that women didn’t accept his advances. What woman in her right mind would? He showed his character in a video he made describing his plans.

You should watch it all, only to inform yourself about how completely dishonest he was about his motives.

He says he’s lonely because girls have never been attracted to him. Well, look how he presents himself. This is from his Facebook page.

His Facebook page is nothing but selfies of him trying to look sultry. Here’s what he says on a YouTube video.

Girls have never seemed to have any interest in me, and I want to know why. I’m such a perfect, beautiful, fabulous guy. I should never have had any problems with girls, but I do, and I find that ridiculous.

That’s his answer. He felt entitled to attention, and it infuriated him that women didn’t share his exalted view of himself.

Also, he’s a liar. He said in his shitty, self-indulgent Götterdämmerung video that at twenty-two he was still a virgin and had never been kissed. That was his fucking problem. For one thing nobody is obligated to have sex with us just because we want them to. For another, there’s someone out there for everyone. Look around you. Ever marvel at the couples you see?

If you really want to be with someone, you’ll be able to find someone.

He didn’t want to be with someone. Instead, he wanted to glory in his fake loneliness as he drove around in his BMW, filming himself. He was the classic spree killer: sadistic, self-centered, lacking in empathy, and motivated by revenge and envy.

This deservedly dead humanoid didn’t know what real loneliness is. He had no clue how it feels to be genuinely isolated from the rest of the world. When I was young, there was no social media. College was torrentially crappy for me in the girl department. Here I am at twenty-two, the same age as the late metrosexual.

Women didn’t look at me and think, “Mmmm, got to get me some of that.” So I found other diversions. In this photo I’m teaching myself how to juggle. I didn’t have a BMW, and my father wasn’t a Hollywood director. And look how abnormally long my torso is. I’m deformed!

It’s been reported that the six people the androgyne killed were sorority girls. Listen to how he describes them in his last hurrah.

You girls have never been attracted to me. I don’t know why you’ve never been attracted to me, but I will punish you all for it.

That’s someone who didn’t see women as human beings. He wasn’t lonely; he was angry because he couldn’t have a harem of sex slaves to do his bidding. I’m sure he watched tons of online porn. If some woman had gotten together with him, he would’ve abused her mercilessly. That’s guaranteed.

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 gentleman. I will punish all of you for it.

And then he offers up a forced, “sinister” chuckle, worthy of a direct-to-DVD Cuba Gooding Jr. movie.

This is a vacuous joke of a person, contradicting himself every three seconds. A “perfect gentleman” wouldn’t “punish” women for exercising their free will. If they’re not attracted to you, sweetie, they’re not attracted to you. It isn’t unfair, or an injustice, or a crime. It’s called life.

I can look at myself and see why women weren’t attracted to me. Even at the age of twenty-two, I had realistic expectations. The only people I wanted to murder were the ones who bullied me. But I knew it would’ve been wrong to murder them. They didn’t deserve to die for bullying me. People get bullied; it’s horrible. The answer isn’t murder. What I did to survive was develop my inner self.

There are no excuses for what this dead, chuckling, inadequate murderer did. He had advantages I never had. And he had artistic skill and the sensibilities that go with it. Here’s a beautiful photo he took of a sunset.

Like him, I love sunsets. But he was too in love with his own fake misery to simply let it go and find other avenues for fulfillment.

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 I 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 toward them, while they throw themselves at these obnoxious brutes.

I will take great pleasure in slaughtering you. You will finally see that I am in truth the superior one, the true Alpha male.

Sorry, pal. If those girls had been armed, you would’ve been dead much sooner. A gun doesn’t make you superior. Shooting unarmed people certainly doesn’t make you anything except an impotent clown who couldn’t control himself.

Yesterday I came into contact with a person who thinks like this ugly, childish buffoon. We were arguing about the legalization of drugs. I wasn’t going to post this, but now it’s relevant. Because I disagreed with him, he said I was stupid. In fact the very first thing he said was that I really let my emotions show in my writing, and that it was cute. And then it got surreal. My comments are in green.

And sometimes sarcasm is just sarcasm. It makes you feel all superior to tell me everything that’s wrong with me, so go ahead. I never take seriously anything strangers say about me.

Your sarcastic comment took the form of a backhanded compliment. You clearly very much enjoy being insulting in sarcastic, indirect ways, and that is passive aggressive.

Christ, Pete. Here’s another term for you to look up: “projection.”

My “cute” comment was certainly passive aggressive, I agree. We’re both guilty of it, and both of us are old enough to know and behave better. Sorry for my part in the conflict.

Just go away. You’re a cartoon. You accuse me of everything you do yourself, and then apologize like a kindergartener? Stop wasting my time.

You’re an angry little man, aren’t you?

Not angry at all, Pete. More ridiculous projection on your part. What kind of person indulges his negative traits, KNOWING FULL WELL AT THE TIME that he’s doing so, and then thinks by saying, “I’m sowwy” he makes it all better?

Someone who allowed a passive aggressive person to bait him into mirroring his behavior, that’s who.

Oh, I see. So it’s not actually your fault. You were BAITED. Got it. You’re a grown man, but you let others chart the course of your life. You lack self-control only because others bait you. Incredible. I’ve never once blamed my own faults on others. People in this truly illuminating thread have called me a piece of shit, delusional, passive aggressive, and so on. Do you see me losing my cool? Nope. “Look what you made me do!” is the mantra of the perpetual child. Emotionally, you’ve got lots of growing up to do, Pete.

This spree killer thought exactly the same way as Projectin’ Pete. He was baited into committing murder. It wasn’t his fault. Though he knew full well that what he was doing was wrong, he just didn’t care. Someone else made him do it.

There’s only one person to blame here, and it’s the brand-new corpse with pouty lips. He deserves no compassion whatsoever. And I say that as someone who’s experienced more loneliness than he ever could’ve endured.

Rot in hell, creep. You were a vain, shallow, evil man.
