Elliot Rodger was trying to act out the role of a film star when he went on his killing spree – to make up for the fact he felt like a failure in real life. Clearly he did not feel he had the status he deserved.

In his last YouTube video, which he explicitly filmed to leave a legacy, he casts himself as a movie star.

In another of his clips he appears to reference the film American Psycho, and it might be that he has taken the main character, Patrick Bateman, as a role model.

American Psycho follows anti-hero Patrick Bateman, the son of a US banker, who mutilates and kills prostitutes after having sex with them

Bateman, played by Christian Bale, is a successful Wall Street banker who picks up women and then butchers them after sex.

The irony is that Bale’s character is both sexually successful and a killer.

'If you feel as if the whole world is against you, it makes it easier to start attacking random individuals'

But for Rodger, his sexual frustration was the driving force behind the anger. However, both share deep feelings of sexual desire for women and aggression towards them.

There are parallels between Rodger and the Columbine High School killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who fantasised about the idea that Steven Spielberg would make a movie about their lives.

Some might think that because his father worked as an assistant director on The Hunger Games, which involves teens killing teens, that could have planted a seed in him to go on the rampage.

But I think his father’s success in Hollywood is more relevant, as it may have heightened his own feelings of inadequacy.

Rodger is the classic rampage killer: young, male, isolated and sexually frustrated. And he appeared to have a pronounced victim mentality.

In his video he says things such as: ‘You forced me to suffer all my life and now I’ll make you all suffer.’

More...

He blamed his suffering on others, and therefore felt his violence was righteous. It was a disturbed reality.

'The irony is that Bale's character is both sexually successful and a killer. But for Rodger, his sexual frustration was the driving force behind the anger'

He felt he was a victim of all of humanity. I think he was suicidal, and intended to kill himself after the shooting.
If you feel as if the whole world is against you, it makes it easier to start attacking random individuals – and then kill yourself.

The parents of Santa Barbara shooter Elliot Rodger had read his chilling manifesto and were frantically trying to stop their son carry out his plan when they heard of the massacre on the radio, it emerged Sunday.
The 22-year-old had emailed the 140-page document to a couple of dozen people including his parents and at least one of his therapists just hours before he went on his shooting rampage Friday night, family friend Simon Astaire told CNN.

Lichin Rodger, the suspect's mother, reportedly received the email at 9.17pm and immediately went on to her son's YouTube page where she found the newly uploaded video titled 'Retribution' which describes his plan of 'slaughtering' women at a sorority house at the University of California at Santa Barbara.

According to CNN, Mrs Rodger then alerted her estranged husband, Peter, and after he watched the video she called 911. The former couple then set off from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara to try find their son.

But they were too late, and, according to Mr Astaire, they heard about the shooting en route.

Later that night, their worst fears were confirmed when they were told their son was behind the massacre that left six victims dead and 13 injured.

The new details come as detectives searched the home of Mrs Rodger Sunday, carrying out boxes of evidence.
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives officers were pictured leaving her West Hills, California, home after conducting a search that included the bins.

Media swarmed the officers as they walked back to their cars but they stated that they couldn't answer any questions.

Mr Astaire told CNN that the killer's parents thought a run in with police in April could have been a lost opportunity to prevent the bloodshed.
After Mrs Rodger came across his YouTube videos in April, she called one of his therapists, who then called a Santa Barbara mental health hotline, Astaire said.

A woman on the hotline called police to check on him and six policemen showed up at his house in Isla Vista on April 30.
But, crucially, it has now emerged that they hadn't seen the videos even though those recordings were what prompted his parents to call authorities.
They reported back to the Sheriff that they found nothing alarming and called his mother to reassured her that he was OK.

Elliot Rodger's parents now believe that well-being check was a 'pivotal moment' and they are frustrated, Mr Astaire said, describing it as a 'missed opportunity' to find out what was wrong.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kelly Hoover said the sheriff's office 'was not aware of any videos until after the shooting rampage occurred.'
Sheriff Bill Brown has defended the officers' actions, but the case highlights the challenges that police face in assessing the mental health of adults, particularly those with no history of violent breakdowns, institutionalisations or serious crimes.
'Obviously, looking back on this, it's a very tragic situation and we certainly wish that we could turn the clock back and maybe change some things,' Brown told CBS' 'Face the Nation' on Sunday.
'At the time deputies interacted with him, he was able to convince them that he was OK,' he said.
It's not clear why the deputies did not become aware of the videos.
Rodger, writing in a manifesto, said he was relieved his apartment wasn't searched because deputies would have uncovered the cache of weapons he used in the beach town rampage Friday in which he killed six people and then, authorities say, himself.
This comes as the aunt of British born murderer Elliot Rodger made an impassioned appeal on Sunday to Barack Obama and the U.S. authorities to 'Stop the slaughter.'
Jenni Rodger, 55, who lives in south west France, said: 'He was a sick kid – somebody who was seriously mentally disturbed – and yet he was able to get hold of guns.'

Ms Rodger said such attacks had become all too frequent in a country where weapons can be bought with ease – even by students.

Students gathered for a candlelight vigil on the University of California Santa Barbara to remember those killed during Rodger's massacre

'What kind of a society allows this?' said Ms Rodger. 'How can this be allowed to happen? I want to appeal to Americans to do something about this horrific problem.

'I want the president and the authorities to finally stop these killings. The only possible good thing that can come out of all this is America finally taking action.'

Ms Rodger said she had only met Elliot three times, and the last time 'a few years ago and only for a few minutes.'

But she knew that he was 'extremely sick, and had no friends at all.' Ms Rodger added: ‘He did not seem to have any kind of support network. He was on medication

'Even as a small child he was obsessed with folding and refolding his clothes, and he never used to laugh. I never heard of him ever having a friend.’

Ms Rodger, who lives in Cazals, not far from Toulouse, said the shooter’s grandmother Lois, 88, of Ashford, Kent, was 'in grief' at the news.

'I can't get my head around it. The whole family is in absolute shock – we don't know where to turn.

'You can see from the pictures on TV that Elliot did not even look 22 – and yet he was still able to get hold of those guns.'

Attorney Alan Shifman said the Rodger family had called police after being alarmed by YouTube videos 'regarding suicide and the killing of people' that Elliot Rodger had been posting.

Earlier, Peter Rodger spoke of his 'inconceivable pain' following his son's rampage that ended in him taking his own life.

In a statement issued through his lawyer Alan Shifman, Mr Rodger said: 'The Rodger family offers their deepest compassion and sympathy to the families involved in this terrible tragedy.

'We are experiencing the most inconceivable pain, and our hearts go out to everybody involved.'
Mr Shifman added that family called police several weeks ago after being alarmed by YouTube videos 'regarding suicide and the killing of people' that Elliot had been posting.

Police interviewed Elliot Rodger and found him to be a 'perfectly polite, kind and wonderful human,' he added.

Mr Rodger added that the family are staunchly against guns, saying he had no idea how his son got hold of a firearm.

With his hair dyed blonde, Elliot recalled being the smallest kid in his class at Topanga Elementary School
Police did not find a history of guns, but did say Rodger 'didn't have a lot of friends,' and didn't have any girlfriends.

He was diagnosed at an earlier age with Asperger's Syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism meaning he had difficulties with social interaction.
Mr Astaire said he'd been seeing therapists on and off since he was 8 years old and during high school met with one 'pretty much every day.'
Recently, Rodgers was seeing two therapists, Mr Astaire told CNN, describing the young man as 'reserved to a daunting degree' but never showed any fascination with guns. He had legally bought all three weapons used int he rampage, law enforcement sources told CNN.

He said Perth Rodgers told him a week ago that the boy was doing well 'at the moment.'

Elliot Rodger was living with roommates at the Independent Living Institute in Santa Barbara, a facility that offers 'living skills instruction to help adults with disabilities to live more independently in their communities,' according to the website.
Mr Shifman added: 'My clients’ mission in life will be to try and prevent any such tragedies from ever happening again.

'This country, this world needs to address mental illness and the ramifications from not recognizing these illnesses.'

On the surface Elliot appeared to have everything, but he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism meaning he struggled in social situations
Haunting final video of Elliot Rodgers titled 'Retribution'

On the surface, Elliot had everything a young man in his prime could wish for: loving, wealthy parents, a luxury family home in California, the chance to mix with Hollywood A-listers, and a sleek BMW at the age of just 22.

But beneath the sun-kissed lifestyle, a desperate loneliness and sexual frustration were gnawing away and would finally drive him to the madness of his horrific, premeditated mass murder.
The recurring theme of his inner torment is evident in numerous disturbing videos he put out on YouTube and social network postings as he increasingly seemed to spend more time living his life in cyberspace rather than in the real world.
Time after time, he talked of his inability to get a girlfriend, confessing that even though he had been through college, he had never kissed a girl, let alone had sex.
A picture emerged of a troubled young man whose fellow students were enjoying the hedonistic lifestyle of surfing, spring breaks and sorority parties, while he was left out, later undergoing therapy.

Elliot's grandfather, George Rodger, covered the D-Day landings and later founded Magnum photo agency

Over time, his pitiful plea for companionship and sex developed a darker edge until the point where he promised ‘retribution’ on women in general.
Two years ago, on his YouTube channel, Rodger set the tone for what was to come, posting a video of fellow students partying in Isla Vista, the town where he studied at University of California, Santa Barbara, where it is believed he was studying politics and philosophy.
In an accompanying comment, he wrote: ‘It angers me so much to see these people having so much fun here.

'I’m the perfect sophisticated gentleman, but these heartless girls only like to be with the obnoxious douchebags.’
Around a year ago he began posting on an internet forum called Puahate – a site describing itself as the ‘Anti-Pickup-Artist Movement’ and offers advice to men on how to pick up women.
For his first post he wrote: ‘Revenge is something to live for’ on a thread titled ‘I have nothing to live for.’

As Rodger’s ‘vlogs’ or video blogs, became more and more chilling, his worried family asked him to remove some of them from the internet only three weeks ago.
A good-looking boy, it is impossible to say what caused Rodger’s problem with women, but apart from his parents’ divorce, there are no clues in his background as to the deeply troubled loner he would become.
He was born in August 1991 in Lambeth, South London, the scion of a family steeped in photography and the cinema.

His Malaysian-born mother Li Chin, now 53, and film director father Peter, 49, moved to America’s West Coast when Elliot was five and his younger sister Georgia only a baby.
Elliot’s grandfather, British photographer George Rodger, was one of the founders of the renowned Magnum photo agency, and covered the D-Day landings in 1944.

He was also the first photographer to enter the concentration camps at Bergen-Belsen, an experience which left a lasting impression on him, according to his widow Lois ‘Jinx’ Rodger, herself a journalist and picture editor.
Speaking from her home in Kent, Elliot’s grandmother, 89, explained that he had suffered mental health issues for some time.
She said: ‘He was a very disturbed boy. He lived in California but of course I’d known him. This is just one of those very tragic things. I don’t want to talk about it any more. This is a rather difficult time.’
Peter Rodger loved helping his father on jobs and soon picked up the passion for photography. His own career began in advertising, filming and photographing commercials for cosmetics, cars and clothing.

Elliot, who was born in Lambeth, South London, came back to visit three years ago on a trip that took in the London Eye, Harrods and the Houses of Parliament
Yesterday, a family friend told The Mail on Sunday that Peter and Lichin divorced soon after moving to the US and Peter later married Soumaya Akaaboune, a French actress of Moroccan-French descent who appeared in Hollywood blockbuster Green Zone.

She was once married to Jamie Harris, son of the late screen legend Richard Harris.
Elliot’s early life was spent in Calabasas in the hills west of the San Fernando Valley, on the edge of Los Angeles.

He recalled in one Facebook posting ‘being the smallest kid in the class’ when he was photographed at Topanga Elementary School near his home, aged seven, in 1998.

His naturally dark hair seemed to have been dyed blond.
While Elliot’s father only became a big player in Hollywood relatively recently, it’s clear his mother may also have been well-connected from a photograph taken in the late 1980s, showing Michael Jackson, along with Harrison Ford and Star Wars director George Lucas, who has his arm around Li Chin.

"Once women are brought to their knees, things can be reformed. The sooner this happens, the better."
- Elliot Rodger

Peter Rodger’s own breakthrough into Hollywood came in 2009, when Elliot was aged 17, with the release of his film documentary Oh My God, featuring Ringo Starr, Hugh Jackman and Baz Luhrmann and their views on organised religion.

But he made it clear that the success had been achieved at some price to his family life.

The project took Peter to 23 countries and he said in an interview that the previous three years had been tough on his family. He included Elliot in the on-screen credits, along with his sister Georgia.

He said: ‘I put my family through a lot of difficulties making this film because I was away a long time.’
Of children, added: ‘Kids are the purest form of humans. It’s when the influences around them start affecting them – their parents, their schools, their society, their culture, their country, their belief systems – that they start to become the people they are.

'I find children to be ultimately pure in heart. If you are looking for Godliness surely you are going to find Godliness in children.’

Six people died and seven were injured on Friday after Elliot opened fire in a student neighbourhood before turning the gun on himself
Peter Rodger became assistant director on the 2012 blockbuster The Hunger Games, starring Jennifer Lawrence.

Elliot was photographed at the film’s Hollywood premiere alongside his father, stepmother, and Sylvester Stallone.
By then, he was enrolled at University of California, Santa Barbara, but he made it clear in one of his earlier, more poignant, blogs, he hated university life – because he felt so excluded from its social life.
In one of Elliot’s more recent videos, he said that he was happiest during his childhood when things were more ‘fair’, though what exactly he meant wasn’t clear.
Elliot was able to afford a trip to London three years ago, taking in the Houses of Parliament, Harrods and the London Eye, posting photos online.

But by January last year it was clear his social rejection had fuelled hatred in him when he wrote: ‘If you could release a virus that would kill every single man on Earth, except for yourself because you would have the antidote, would you do it?
‘You will be the only man left, with all the females. You would be able to have your pick of any beautiful woman you want, as well as having dealt vengeance on the men who took them from you. Imagine how satisfying that would be.’

By June, he wrote: ‘Once women are brought to their knees, things can be reformed. The sooner this happens, the better.’
Three months ago, he started posting YouTube videos. Again, they started innocuously – ‘Enjoying the sunset in Santa Barbara’ and ‘Awesome view of LA from a landing airplane’.
Last month, a photo on Facebook showed Elliot with his father and step-brother Jazz on a garden swingseat. The body language spoke volumes. While the younger boy and his father embraced, Elliot sat sulking at the end of the seat.
Then in the last week or so, he ramped up his YouTube activity and started talking about how he hated women in his videos.
Widely ridiculed, he had become a mini celebrity on the Puahate site.
Saying goodbye to Puahate he wrote: ‘You’re all jealous of my 10/10 pretty-boy face. This site is full of stupid, disgusting, mentally ill degenerates who take pleasure in putting down others.
‘That is all I have to say on here. Goodbye.’

Wang, graduated from Fremont Christian School and was a sophomore at UCSB, majoring in engineering.

According to friends of his who spoke to ABC7, he and Hong had said they felt uncomfortable living with Rodger and had described him as ‘strange.’

All three Isla Vista stabbing victims were from the Bay Area

They were planning to move elsewhere at the end of the semester.

Hong had recently been accused of stealing candles from Rodger.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office mentioned the case at a Saturday press conference, saying Rodger contacted the sheriff's office, reporting his roommates had stolen candles. Hong had been charged with petty theft, after pleading guilty.

'They were really good kids,' a neighbor at Rodger's apartment complex told ABC7. 'They were so quiet. They were extremely smart.'

All six victims have now been identified in the Isla Vista killing spree that left seven people dead, including gunman Elliot Rodger, 22.
His other three victims were students Chris Michael-Martinez, 20, Katherine Cooper, 22, and Veronika Weiss, 19, all of whom died after being shot.
Cooper and Weiss were both members of the same sorority. They were shot and killed while standing near the Alpha Phi sorority house.
Weiss, a first-year student, had been a water polo player at Westlake High School who earned league honors during her senior year, according to the Thousand Oaks Acorn newspaper.
Her father, Bob Weiss, told KPCC that his daughter was the kind of person who often reached out to awkward young men who felt like outsiders at school.
'It's ironic. She hung out with a lot of the scholarly students at school. Some of the boys, they gravitated to her - not as boyfriend/girlfriend so much. If they were a nerdy kid who felt out of place, Veronika would welcome them,' said Weiss.

'She was everybody's daughter. She was a wonderful citizen of this world.'
Cooper, a resident of Chino Hills, California, was about to graduate with a degree in art history.

Andrew Notohamiprodjo was Cooper's ballroom dance teacher three years ago and later supervised her as a teaching assistant in ballroom dance. Cooper was looking forward to graduating but planned to stay in town another year, he said.

'She was a lot of fun, super forward,' he said. Cooper graduated from Ruben S. Ayala High School in Chino Hills in 2010.

Michaels-Martinez, 20, was an English major from Los Osos, California, who had planned to go to London next year and to law school after graduation.
His distraught father, Richard Martinez, made an impassioned outburst on Saturday, blaming America's gun laws for his son's untimely death.

'Our son Christopher and six others are dead,' he told reporters gathered outside a sheriff's station for a news conference. 'You don't think it'll happen to your child until it does.'

Martinez choked back tears as he spoke, then grew angrier as he talked about gun laws and lobbyists.

'The talk about gun rights. What about Chris' right to live?' Martinez said. 'When will enough people say: 'Stop this madness! We don't have to live like this! Too many people have died!
'Why did Chris die? Chris died because of craven, irresponsible politicians and the NRA,' Martinez said.

He then punctuated his words as he said, 'We should say to ourselves: "Not! One! More!"' before dissolving into tears and falling to his knees as he stepped from the podium.
Friends said Michaels-Martinez, who served as residential adviser at a dorm last year, was the kind of guy who would welcome strangers into his home.

Heartbreaking loss: Mr Martinez said his son majored in English and was an only child

According to her Facebook page, victim Katie Cooper, 22, majored art history and archeology at UCSB.
'She was a shining star,' Cooper’s devastated aunt, Stacy Simmer, described the slain young woman.

Simmer said San Bernardino sheriff’s deputies came to her sister’s house at 10am Saturday and told her that Katie had been killed in a drive-by shooting.

Dashed dreams: Martinez was on track to graduate from college with a high GPA and live in London for a year

‘I was on my way to church and my brother-in-law, Dan, called me and said, "Stacy, are you driving? I need you to pull over because I have something terrible to tell you,”’ Ms Simmer recalled. ‘”There was a guy in a car and he was driving around shooting people, and Katie was one of them and she was killed.”’

The distraught aunt went on, saying: ‘Katie was the apple of all of our eyes… She had a 4.8 GPA and did a lot of charity fundraising for St Jude’s Children's hospital.
‘She was studying archeology and she was in in a wonderful sorority.
‘Her parents, Katie and Dan, left for Santa Barbara as soon as they heard. Her two brothers, Nick, 26, a chemist in Colorado, and Jon, still in college, are on their way there now. They were as close as any siblings can be.’
Stacy Simmer said she was told by her sister that when her niece’s body is released to the family sometime next week, she will be laid to rest in their local Catholic church.

Richard Martinez, Christopher's father, said of his son: 'He was an English major and he wanted to go to law school. He grades were excellent.
'Both my wife and I are attorneys and I wasn't thrilled about him doing that, but we didn't want to argue with him. He was an only child.'

Lone gunman: 22-year-old Elliot Rodger went on a shooting spree, killing six people and injuring seven before dying of a gunshot wound to the head

'Retribution': Elliot Rodger posted a video to social media in which he outlines his plan for 'retribution' for being rejected by women

Rodger's father, Peter, has released a statement via his lawyer. It said: 'The Rodger family offers their deepest compassion and sympathy to the families involved in this terrible tragedy.
'We are experiencing the most inconceivable pain, and our hearts go out to everybody involved.'
It came as friends and relatives of the gunman shared their shock and heartache at what unfolded in the early hours of Saturday.

‘Oh my God, my God. This is terrible,’ said Christian Rivas, a close friend and neighbor of Elliot Rodger’s 18 year-old sister, Georgia, when asked about Friday’s tragedy.
‘I was hanging out with Georgia till two o’clock this morning at the local park and she was happy and laughing - she had no idea what was going on with her brother. She must be devastated - I feel so bad for her…and the victims.”
‘She was always worried about Elliot. She would say that she didn’t understand him because he was always such a loner - he didn’t want to have anything to do with anyone else and he had no friends.
‘Georgia said that when they did talk, they would often fight because he didn’t seem to be interested in anything or anyone. She couldn’t relate late to him and he was so anti-social.”
Christian, 19, lives around the corner from the neat, three-bedroom home on quiet Windom Steet in West Hills - about 25 miles north west of Los Angeles - where Elliot’s mother, ‘Chin’ Rodger, 53 lives with Georgia.

‘Elliot wasn’t really living here all the time any more but he stayed here a lot,’ added Christian, who attended nearby El Camino High School, the same school both Elliot and Georgia went to.
‘When I would go to their house to see Georgia, if Elliot was in he would never come out into the living room and talk. He always stayed locked in his bedroom by himself.
‘He always kept very much to himself. When he did go out he would sometimes just drive round the neighborhood aimlessly in his car - I think it was a black BMW.

‘Georgia had a boyfriend once who just couldn’t figure Elliot out and called him a “real weirdo.” The boyfriend would say “hi” to him but Elliot wouldn’t say a word. He’d just go to his bedroom and slam the door
‘The only person he spent time with was his mother. I think he was quite close to her. His mom is very sweet and nice and I think she gets on well with Elliot and Georgia’s dad, even though they’re divorced.
‘I feel so sorry for Georgia and her mom and dad. They’re a really nice family and this is going to devastate them. Elliot was a strange guy and Georgia did worry about him a lot. But something as horrific and violent as this - she could never have imagined anything so awful happening.'

Aftermath: A deputy sheriff walks near a black BMW sedan driven by a drive-by shooter on Saturday, May 24, 2014, in Isla Vista, California near a Santa Barbara university campus

Authorities are examining a video posted on social media by the shooter in which he rants about women who supposedly rejected his advances.

The video is called Elliot Rodger's Retribution.
Rodger, a Santa Barbara City College Student and Isla Vista resident, according to his social media accounts unleashed a tirade about his 'loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled desires,' and blames women for preferring 'obnoxious brutes' to him, 'the supreme gentlemen.'

'I'm 22 years old and I'm still a virgin. I've never even kissed a girl,' he says in the video.
'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,' he says in the video, which runs to almost seven minutes.
He repeatedly promises to 'punish' women and lays out his plan for 'retribution.'
'I'm going to enter the hottest sorority house of UCSB and I will slaughter every single spoilt, stuck-up, blonde s**t that I see inside there. All those girls that I've desired so much, they would've all rejected me and looked down on me as an inferior man if I ever made a sexual advance towards them,' he says.
'I'll take great pleasure in slaughtering all of you. You will finally see that I am, in truth, the superior one. The true alpha male,' he laughs like a maniacal movie villain. 'Yes... After I have annihilated every single girl in the sorority house I will 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...'

Family: Elliot Rodger (right) with his father (left) and a younger sibling, posted many videos to his YouTube account reminiscing about his happy childhood

His YouTube account contains numerous other videos in which Rodger talks of his loneliness and anger at the women he says snub him.

He called police several weeks ago after being alarmed by YouTube videos 'regarding suicide and the killing of people,' a lawyer said Saturday.
Police interviewed Elliot Rodger and found him to be a 'perfectly polite, kind and wonderful human,' family attorney Alan Shifman said.

A three-week old video called 'Another sunny day in Santa Barbara' include the description 'I temporarily took all of my Vlog's down due to the alarm it caused with some people in my family. I will post more updates in the future.'

Rodger's Twitter account has only two tweets, posted on April 19 and 20.
'Why are girls sexually attracted to obnoxious, brutish men instead of sophisticated gentlemen such as myself? #girls #perverted #sex #unfair,' reads the first.

Loneliness: Rodger says that his college years have been marked by solitude, while his peers have enjoyed 'sex and fun and pleasure'

'Why do girls hate me so much?' he posted on April 20, along with a now-deleted YouTube video.

Rodger was on a website forum called PUAHate.com, which describes itself as the 'Anti-Pickup-Artist Movement' and aims to reveal 'the scams, deception, and misleading marketing techniques used by dating gurus and the seduction community to deceive men and profit from them.'
Its members are all men who have spent a lot of time and money on books and seminars and other materials that claim to help men 'pick-up' women - but failed.
The bitter, often misogynistic threads are full of tales of woe from men who don't know how to get women to date them and blame the women themselves for the problem.

He posted in 2013, 'If you could release a virus that would kill every single man on Earth, except for yourself because you would have the antidote, would you do it? You will be the only man left, with all the females. You would be able to have your pick of any beautiful woman you want, as well as having dealt vengeance on the men who took them from you. Imagine how satisfying that would be.'

Rodger's actions have been lauded on the site by other members who have called him a 'hero.'

Brown said the shootings occurred at several sites in the town, resulting in ten crime scenes.
Santa Barbara County sheriff's spokeswoman Kelly Hoover told KEYT-TV the gunfire broke out around 9:30 p.m. Friday in the Isla Vista neighborhood.
A student told the station he saw shots fired from a BMW, fatally striking one woman and critically injuring another woman.
'I heard shots, scream, pain,' Michael Vitak said. 'All emotions. I hope she is going to be fine.'
The station said a black BMW slammed into as many as two cars.
The shooting prompted officials to issue alerts urging people to stay indoors.
Isla Vista is known for parties, including an annual spring bash that turned into a violent blowout last month as young people clashed with police and tossed rocks and bottles. A university police officer and four deputies were injured and 130 people were arrested.

BAN EVERYTHING: ‘Killer Virgin’ Used A Knife, Car And Gun Therefore, Ban Them All!

By Clash Daily / 25 May 2014

They come in different sizes, there are automatic and non-automatic versions, and they were used by UC Santa Barbara killer Elliot Rodger in the most recent murderous rampage. No, they are not guns — they are knives.

According to the Associated Press (via ABC affiliate WFFA), the crazed sex-starved killer stabbed three men to death in his apartment before gunning down two women and a male victim on the college campus.
…
Assume for a moment that president and the authorities, presumably meaning Congress, took action. Imagine that they outlawed the sale and ownership of firearms. Let’s suppose further that in order to make all this kosher, the powers that be repealed the Second Amendment.

Two questions arise. First, how would these law changes decrease the number of unregistered, illegally owned guns in the country? According to a Small Arms Survey conducted in 2007 by the Geneva, Switzerland-based Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, there’s no way to know how many weapons are we talking about. For what it’s worth, Gunpolicy.org estimates the number of both licit and illicit guns held by civilians in the United States is between 270,000,000 and 310,000,000.

Second, how would these policy shifts alter the fact that half Elliot Rodger’s victims, excluding himself, were killed by knife?

‘IT’S THE NRA’S FAULT’: Dad Blames NRA & Politicians for Sons Death, Not The Mass Murderer

By Clash Daily / 25 May 2014

Two members of the same sorority and a sophomore at University of California Santa Barbara have been identified as victims of Friday night’s drive-by shooting rampage that left six dead and 13 wounded.
The massacre perpetrated by 22-year-old Elliot Rodger claimed the lives of Veronika Weiss, 19, and Katie Cooper, 22, both sisters at the Delta Delta Delta Greek organization, the victims’ friends revealed.
A third victim has been identified by his distraught father, Richard, as Christopher Martinez, 20.

The slain sophomore’s grief-stricken parent spoke out Friday in an emotional appeal for increased gun control.
‘Our son Christopher and six others are dead,’ he told reporters gathered outside a sheriff’s station for a news conference. ‘You don’t think it’ll happen to your child until it does.’

Martinez choked back tears as he spoke, then grew angrier as he talked about gun laws and lobbyists.

‘The talk about gun rights. What about Chris’ right to live?’ Martinez said. ‘When will enough people say: ‘Stop this madness! We don’t have to live like this! Too many people have died!

What the Mainstream Media are Not Reporting About the Santa Barbara Murderer’s Politics

4,705 Shares
By Soopermexican 7 hours ago

After every awful tragic shooting in America, pundits rush in hopes of pinning a big red “R” on the shooter to smear Republicans with, but they were disappointed when Santa Barbara shooter Elliot Rodger was found to be a fan of the Progressive YouTube show, “The Young Turks.”

As the Gateway Pundit reported, the deranged shooter’s YouTube channel was subscribed to many shows including those having to do with video games, but this was the only political show he was a fan of:

This was the same YouTube account where Rodgers posted his despicable ramblings about being unable to have a relationship with women and his plan for his “Day of Retribution.”

The Young Turks channel is very popular among the left, sporting more than a billion views while spouting left-wing vitriol like the following:

Now, am I saying that somehow this left-wing show is to blame for the murders? No – but that’s exactly what they can’t wait to say about conservatism even when there’s absolutely no evidence for it.

How about ABC’s Brian Ross trying to call the Batman Killer a Tea Party member? Or when the media scrubbed the manifesto of cop-killing Chris Dorner of leftist themes?

For some reason, when the shooter has leftist sympathies, there’s not a drop of ink in the mainstream press on it.

Study: Gun homicides, violence down sharply in past 20 years

Rubio: 'We have a violence problem'

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Firearm-related homicides and crime drop from 1993 peaks, a Pew study says
The drops parallel overall declines in violent non-fatal crime
"There is no consensus ... as to why it happened," the study says of declines
Still, America has a higher rate of homicide than any other developed nation

(CNN) -- Gun-related homicides and crime are "strikingly" down from 20 years ago, despite the American public's belief that firearm crime is on the upswing, a new study said Wednesday.
Looking back 50 years, a Pew Research Center study found U.S. gun homicides rose in the 1960s, gained in the 1970s, peaked in the 1980s and the early 1990s, and then plunged and leveled out the past 20 years.
"Despite national attention to the issue of firearm violence, most Americans are unaware that gun crime is lower today than it was two decades ago," the researchers say.
A Pew survey of Americans in March found 56% believed gun-related crime is higher than 20 years ago and only 12% said it's lower. The survey said 26% believed it stayed the same and 6% didn't know.

The new study found U.S. firearm homicides peaked in 1993 at 7.0 deaths per 100,000 people. But by 2010, the rate was 49% lower, and firearm-related violence -- assaults, robberies, sex crimes -- was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993, the study found.
Those drops parallel an overall decline in violent non-fatal crime, with or without a gun, the study said.
In fact, gun-related homicide rates in the late 2000s were "equal to those not seen since the early 1960s," the study found.
Explanations for the drops the past 20 years aren't clear, the study said.
Video shows test firing of 3-D printed handgun
"Researchers have studied the decline in firearm crime and violent crime for many years, and though there are theories to explain the decline, there is no consensus among those who study the issue as to why it happened," the researchers say in a summary.
Despite the decline, the United States still has a higher rate of homicide than other developed countries, the study says. But America doesn't have a higher rate for all other crimes.
The United States also has a higher rate of gun ownership than any other developed country, the study said.

Dramatic New Surveillance Footage Shows People Fleeing Scene As Gunshots Ring Out During Santa Barbara Mass Killing

By Eric Odom
5:03 pm May 28, 2014

Earlier today we published a second video from suspected mass killer Elliot Rodger’s youtube account. The video shows an extremely disturbed individual verbally lashing out at women for not wanting him simply because he believed they should.
The original and extremely creepy retribution video can be seen here.
Now we have new footage via CNN that shows the view of the scene from the perspective of a nearby security camera. In the second part of the video you can hear how fast the gun was being fired by the suspect.

BOOM: An Alpha Dad’s Letter To All The Whiny “Elliot Rodgers” Out There

By Doug Giles / 1 June 2014

In the event that there are more “Elliot Rodgers” out there that are ready to snap because girls way out of your league won’t respond to your creepy advances; and yet, you’re not completely sold on the murder/suicide option: herewith are eight surefire points to move you back to SaneTown, attract a girl worth loving and officially assimilate out of Wussville and into the rarified air of a combobulated man.

1. Drop the “poor you” crap, especially, if you live in the lap of luxury. Chicks don’t want some puss-n-boots who whines about going over molehills in the Garden of Eden. Play the man if you truly wish to draw the attention of a girl who’s worth her salt. And definitely don’t do videos where you bray to the masses that you’re an unhinged, pitiful ass.

2. Get a vision. Visionaries who want to slay a dragon, save a nation and right a wrong are attractive. Solipsistic me-monkeys are repugnant to people of note. God didn’t call you to be a navel gazer. Go out into the desert and get aligned with your eternal purpose and if for some reason your antenna isn’t picking up on God’s higher calling for you, there’s plenty of things currently bigger than your dipstick life to get involved with that’ll help God and country. Get lost in them and, even if you look like Napoleon Dynamite, your passion will make you a chick magnet.

3. If you really want a girlfriend, then don’t go to Katy Perry concerts unless you’re gay; and if you are gay, then quit bitching about girls not liking you.

4. Sell your Beemer and give the proceeds to a wounded vet that’s currently getting no care from the VA of Obamaland. Be self-sacrificial. It’s the Jesus way. And who knows … maybe your altruistic spirit of giving will land you on TV and boom … instant chicks!

5. Instead of pining like a charter member of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely-Hearts Club Band, use that time to read books and start with the Classics. Girls like leaders and leaders are readers.

6. Spend time with God. Get your identity from Him not culture and certainly not from a chick that roams the Hollywood hills.

7. Embrace rejection and pain. That stuff Elliot squealed about on his video screeds is par for the course for awkward, male teens and twenty-somethings. I was constantly rejected until I pulled my head out of my backside. Rejection and pain is the way of life, hombre. That’s why God created beer.

8. Don’t wish you were someone else. I wasted a lot of time during my early years always wanting to be someone else, and thank God those wishes didn’t come true. With the advent of Facebook I’ve seen how some of those clowns that I looked up to/wanted to be back in high school turned out. Holy crikey, they’re train wrecks. Also, a lot of the girls that I thought I couldn’t live without back in the day morphed into sea-cows. Thank God my prayers weren’t answered back then, eh?

Look, getting rebuffed by hot chicks is the standard for young dorks. It’s the way of the jungle, hoss. Get used to it and get busy bettering yourself and the planet and do us all a favor and shut the heck up.

Finally, please understand that a good dad trains his daughters to avoid lunks like Elliot. We do not teach our daughters to be rude, but we do teach our girls to cudgel off narcissistic crotch rockets and let them know, in no uncertain way, that they aren’t interested in your shallow life if you’re insistent on being a toad.
