Elliot Rodger went to a party at a house in Santa Barbara, and became so incensed at the girls having fun in the presence of other guys that he found some girls standing close to the edge of a 10 feet tall retaining wall and tried to shove them off it. He was not only unable to push them off of the wall, but he himself ended up getting shoved off the wall and broke his leg.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Before he successfully shot some people he came up behind a woman while he was driving his car and she was on the sidewalk. She ignored him and then he started waving his gun around, and she ignored him because she assumed it was a fake. Then he started firing, and missed. She got away.

Elliot Rodger managed to fail to intimidate someone while waving a gun at them and then while they slowly walked away missed the shots of an uncaring target. His thesis on why he is a failure is the greatest because he truly did fail at everything he even attempted. No one failed more than he ever did, so consistently, over years.

Rodger is the basically a great example of personality means everything(mostly) the dude had all the poo poo the incells say women want(cept the foot long dick) but he was such a egotistical oval office, he couldnt get any girls(that and he didnt even try, he literally thought they would just walk up and be his) I am curious what kind of mental illness he had (other then narcissism.) I assume some sort of autism.

The divorce documents also confirmed that Elliot Rodger was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, a form of autism, when he was 7. "Elliot has special needs," his mother said in a sworn statement. "He is a high functioning autistic child."

Asperger's syndrome victims understandably don't want anything to do with this guy and are arguing it was a misdiagnosis :shrug:

I'd qualify as an Aspergers person and Rodger sounds Aspie as gently caress. Rodger was a garbage person whose Aspie tendencies, extreme comorbid mental illness, and poor support structure--e.g: no one willing to force-feed him anti-psychotics for a month because of justified medical rules--formed that alchemy that ends with human lives dead.

I was searching for images on the PYF memes thread when i stumbled on this one



While it does raise a good question about the gross and shallow ways guys view their relationships with women, this guy decides to answer with this:

quote:

Bullshit. People being in the friendzone have romantic interest, not just a sexual one. Also, being in the friendzone doesn't mean you're actualy friends with the girl. It's her either consciously or subconsciously using you for emotional gratification and services. It's not real friendship but a one way street with the girl abusing your affection for her.
This is the friendzone. It's not a place for friends but for useful idiots you would never consider dating. True friendships between men and women isn't very realistic. Either you have a superficial relationship or you becoem close enhoughh where you feel more than just friendship.


I kinda see where his warped-nice-guy-vision goes with this, but the last line throws me off. How do you know it's more than just friendship if all your relationships with women are superficial? What is the meaning of friendship to this guy?

It's easy: Women believe men and women can be friends. Men do not.

The trend of describing people with diseases as "victims" is weird, especially for ones that aren't much more than fairly minor personality disorders.

I don't doubt that Rodger's autism contributed to his misery, but frankly it seems like the kid just needed a good talking to about how it's totally ok for a girl to not be interested in someone that is interested in them, and to talk to him about the self-aggrandizing whining he had been publishing for months.

quote:

It was the second time in recent months that Rodger's mother tried to intervene. In April, she had called one of her son's counselors after seeing bizarre videos he had posted on YouTube, though not the disturbing one he posted shortly before the killings, Astaire said. The counselor called a mental health service, which then called police.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff's deputies who showed up at Rodger's doorstep to check on his mental health, however, weren't aware of any videos, the department's spokeswoman Kelly Hoover said. They concluded after their visit that the well mannered, if shy, young man posed no risk.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/elliot-rodgers-family-was-en-route-to-intervene-at-time-of-rampage/

His family knew about the poo poo he was posting, and it's hard to say at which point the people that failed to properly deal with him can be blamed.

The police hadn't seen the videos so leaving what they're told might be a mental health crisis situation after talking to a kid who is a bit weird but otherwise seems sane isn't something that seems reasonable to hold against them.
Maybe the mental health service should have given the police more details.
Maybe the mental health service weren't given enough information by the counselor who only gave them the abstract of "concerning statements".
Maybe the mother called the counsellor in a panic and just said that she thought he was talking crazy and that he might hurt someone.
