Eh? Why should anyone care about some kid that gets upset he can't get laid? He's just a weirdo; I dunno how you can relate to him at all.
No, I can't, because I'm normal. If his reaction to not getting laid, or not getting a girlfriend is to go out and murder a bunch of women, then it's neither surprising nor a pity that he didn't have much success with women.

That is borderline psychopathic to me.

This is a surprisingly unthoughtful stance from you. I can't sympathize with the rage and twisted logic, but I can sympathize with the frustration and rejection from others.

Most people think they are weirder than they are. By the definition that normal is the average, yes most people are normal.Jesus christ, why does nobody in this thread understand that this kid was DISEASED?! Would you say someone who has diabetes or any other hereditary disease (yes, mental illness is hereditary) is "pissing on the gene pool"? This kid was very very obviously mentally ill, and his actions are not being justified by any of us. However, that is not to say they were not preventable if people like you and Malphas did not have this mindset regarding mentally ****ing ill people. This is the kind of mindset, pooled together with his own issues, that causes this kid to feel this way in the first place. Saying you are "normal" is bull**** and we all know it. Not to mention, this kid obviously does not feel normal and to spew that false standard anywhere and everywhere is extremely unfair and unkind.
I know someone who turned 30 this year, and is still a virgin. That kid in the video is (was :)) ) an idiot. If he thought for one second most of humanity hasn't delt with the same situation he was in, he may be even more of an idiot that I'd previously projected.
I agree with Malphas, (but in my own words:) I cannot believe this stain on human existence and cancer of a personality has garnered any form of sympathy.
Let's just agree that aspies should be euthenised.How are you not banned already for saying **** like this?

I may have been skewed after reading his whole memoir, (it was surprisingly very well written and cohesive), but overall... the progression and his choices seem completely NATURAL given his mis-attributive beliefs, which were formed throughout his life...

He had aspergers and developed a totally twisted view of women, and men by association. I'm sure there are those out there with problems socially and who have felt isolated before, and naturally some can empathize them, but I hardly think it's a natural progression to then go on a murder spree. He really needed some better help.This is a surprisingly unthoughtful stance from you. I can't sympathize with the rage and twisted logic, but I can sympathize with the frustration and rejection from others.
The rejection part is interesting from reading various parts of his accounts, as he kept referring to being 'rejected' by girls yet in the accounts the rejection was imagined. A girl didn't react to something the way he wanted - rejection. He didn't approach/talk a girl - 'they despise me', etc. It's remarkable how many of these scenarios he envisioned as being intentional personal attacks of some kind.
The memes and parodies are the best things to come of all this insanity though. 4chan had the best by far, including the voiced readings.
Saying you are "normal" is bull****why?
Let's just agree that aspies should be euthenised.there is no clear scientific evidence of that the asperger's syndrome is transmitted genetically. also there is no legit correlation between the disease and violent or criminal behavior.

I can feel sympathy for his pain and simultaneously feel disgust and anger at his actions.
It's not that hard for, you know, a normal person.
What is it about American culture that helps create these people? I'm aware he wasn't American but how many school shootings have there been in the last 5-6 years now in America?
Compare that to somewhere like Canada which has similar gun laws and a higher rate of gun ownership... Pretty worrying environment.
Man, you guys are weird if you see this and your reaction is to feel sympathy or whatever for the murderer rather than disgust.

If I was American I would be worried about it and trying to find out the actual root cause and how to solve it. I don't think you can blame gun laws as if someone is intent on killing someone else or many people, they will find a way.which is precisely the case of this topic.

Yeah, but regardless of what mental illnesses he had, he would have been aware that killing people is wrong. He lost all entitlement to sympathy or not being made fun of when he went out shooting people. I'm sure lots of mass murderers, serial killers/rapists, genocidal dictators, etc. had mental illnesses, but they're still deplorable.
Investigation related to visits to medical personnel
Prescription vials at Whitman's home.
Investigating officers found that Whitman had visited several University doctors in the year prior to the shootings, who had prescribed him various medications. Whitman had seen a minimum of five doctors between the fall and winter of 1965, before he had visited a psychiatrist (he received no prescription from the latter). He was prescribed Valium by Dr. Jan Cochrum, who recommended he visit the campus psychiatrist.[32]
Whitman met with Maurice Dean Heatly, the staff psychiatrist at the University of Texas Health Center, on March 29, 1966.[91] Whitman referred to his visit with Heatly in his final suicide note. He said, "I talked with a Doctor once for about two hours and tried to convey to him my fears that I felt come [sic] overwhelming violent impulses. After one visit, I never saw the Doctor again, and since then have been fighting my mental turmoil alone, and seemingly to no avail."[38]
During Whitman's command of the tower, the university learned that the shooter might have been a student. Once his identity was released, officials conducted a search of Whitman's records and found that Whitman had visited the University Health Center on several occasions. The University did not release the medical records and academic history of Whitman at the University of Texas, citing legal and ethical issues.[92] The only medical record released was that of Dr. Heatly, who did so once it became known to the press that Whitman had visited him prior to the shootings.
Dr. Heatly's notes on the visit reflected Whitman's own comments about feeling hostility:
This massive, muscular youth seemed to be oozing with hostility [...] that something seemed to be happening to him and that he didn't seem to be himself.
Dr. Heatly also referred to a statement by Whitman:
He readily admits having overwhelming periods of hostility with a very minimum of provocation. Repeated inquiries attempting to analyze his exact experiences were not too successful with the exception of his vivid reference to 'thinking about going up on the tower with a deer rifle and start shooting people'.[93]
After attending just one session with Dr. Heatly, Whitman never visited him again.
Yeah, but regardless of what mental illnesses he had, he would have been aware that killing people is wrong. He lost all entitlement to sympathy or not being made fun of when he went out shooting people. I'm sure lots of mass murderers, serial killers/rapists, genocidal dictators, etc. had mental illnesses, but they're still deplorable.

It's not that hard for, you know, a normal person.

**** all that noise. He was a ****ing MONSTER.
Look, I understand he had issues. I know what it's like to be paralyzed with terror at the prospect of going up to an attractive woman and trying to talk to her. I know what it's like to not have a single girl ask you out during your entire high school career. ****'s rough. But you don't ****ing kill people, I don't care how ****ed up your upbringing is.
And now he's famous. He's all anybody can talk about. It makes me sick.
The problem with our society is we coddle these monsters way too much. So much so that when contemplating committing atrocities like this, it becomes easier to rationalize because "hey, everybody'll just think I'm mentally unstable and will try to understand me, that's not so bad".
As humans we've got the greatest evolutionary gift ever: sentience, intelligence, reason. We actually can understand the concept of cause and effect. And now all we're doing is trying so hard to negate that by forcing this idea that people aren't responsible for their own actions, if they're bad enough.

@Lanx: I'm not sure why he was living with three other guys, but he was definitely Asian himself. His mother's last name is Chin.
People like Malphas (not Malphas, but similarly short sighted and ignorant) was largely responsible for creating Elliot Rodgers..
Many of the traumatizing social interactions described in Elliot's memoir points squarely at Malphas-like personalities..
@Lanx: I'm not sure why he was living with three other guys, but he was definitely Asian himself. His mother's last name is Chin.
oh that's just great, a half asian hatin on full blooded asians. That means theres another asian shooting up college kids on american soil (virginia tech 2007)

/sarcasm
ok fine.
we should put stricter controls on bladed weapons. specifically we should have background checks on every sushi chef in California. It makes sense to restrict this to California, cuz... i mean duh, this is where the California Roll was invented.
also many sushi knives or in japanese yanagi's are 10in if not longer, whereas the usual and common place chef's knife is usually 8in.
Yanagi's are longer to produce the long slicing stroke needed to produce clean looking cuts on sashimi and sushi but also is a deadly long weapon.
these japanese knives are also created using the same techniques that were used to forge the iconic japanese death weapon, the samurai sword.
sword makes have now instead been creating cutlery instead of swords.
these japanese sushi knives are usually harder and hold an edge better than their german counterparts mainly due to the type of VG10 or blue steel that is being sandwiched by other metals, attributing this to ancient japanese sword maker secrets, which would allow more continuous killings in succession.
one side of the knife is also curved so that sashimi does not stick to the knife, this makes for an effective killing machine, which can lead to multiple killings, whereas modern european knives would have an issue with meat sticking to the blade, in effect, the inferior design of the european knives leads to more lives that can be saved.
(i've recently gotten into cutlery)

The problem with just labeling someone a monster and moving on is -- there's nothing else to be done. Monsters are evil, and we should hate evil. But I don't think that's going to stop the next mentally unstable person from finally cracking up. Maybe empathy for them won't stop these sorts of people, but how can it hurt? This kid felt very much an outsider -- it doesn't justify what he did, at all -- but a little empathy could help. When something like this happens, I always wonder, "what if someone, at a crucial juncture in this person's life, shown him or her some kindness?" Would it have tipped this person back towards sanity?
You're right -- nothing like what he described justifies murder. And I don't know for certain he had mental problems, but he sure looks like he had serious mental problems. And I can't help but feel sorry for someone like that -- the preening, the narcissism -- that's a show. This kid felt the opposite of all that -- and that makes me sad for him.
Correction: if they're sick enough. If you constantly hear voices telling you kill people, and a tumor in your cranium is pressing on your amygdala, I'm sorry -- but you're not in full possession of the gifts you describe: sentience, intelligence and reason.

Evil is a product of human behavior. It has nothing to do with any kind of supernatural influence, that's just retarded. But it does exist. I chose that quote because it accurately sums up my feelings on the matter.
I view "evil" as those who are bent towards the destruction and subjugation of others, rather than helping. No matter what we do, there will always, always be those in our society who "just want to watch the world burn" so to speak. And convincing the rest of us that they don't really exist and are misunderstood or are a product of their upbringing and not really responsible for their decisions and actions would be their holy grail. And they're doing it.The problem with just labeling someone a monster and moving on is -- there's nothing else to be done. Monsters are evil, and we should hate evil.

I will do everything in my power and support every possible initiative to show these people compassion and give them help. BEFORE THEY PULL THE TRIGGER. That's when they become monsters. That's where the line is. Once that happens, **** you. You've proven yourself detrimental to our society and need to be removed.QuoteYou're right -- nothing like what he described justifies murder.

I have somebody very close to me who's said some of the same **** that ER did in his manifesto. And I worry about him, and try to give him help and understanding and empathy. But he hasn't murdered anybody yet. Hell, I would have felt sorry for Rodger too. But he's a murderer. He murdered innocent people. He had every opportunity in the universe to just...ya know...not murder people. But he did. And that was his decision. The moment he made that decision and killed his first victim, he lost all right to any compassion or empathy.QuoteCorrection: if they're sick enough. If you constantly hear voices telling you kill people, and a tumor in your cranium is pressing on your amygdala, I'm sorry -- but you're not in full possession of the gifts you describe: sentience, intelligence and reason.
Physiological conditions are a separate discussion from what I'm talking about. I'm talking about people like Rodger who (as far as I know) would pass a Doctor's exam for physical fitness, and yet still commit mass murder. My point is that rather than face the magnitude of the atrocity, at some point when an act is bad enough we just slap the "sick" label on the person and get all soft and touchy-feely. And that makes these kinds of acts more palatable for potential killers.
It seems like an increasingly worrying country. They have more travel restrictions than most developed nations, pretty relaxed gun laws and almost annual school shootings.
Every time one happens the 'gun debate' goes on, nothing changes, people find something else to blame, TV, Movies, Video Games, drugs etc etc.. And then the following year or so it happens again.
If I was American I would be worried about it and trying to find out the actual root cause and how to solve it. I don't think you can blame gun laws as if someone is intent on killing someone else or many people, they will find a way.

Before you dismiss this as silly, look at crime rate in chicago before and after concealed carry was legalized. More legal guns usually mean less crime, not more.
Insane argument. What about when the perpetrator is one of the teachers? Does that mean all the students should carry guns too, in case a teacher snaps and decided to go postal?

We know what the root cause is: Gun Laws, but not to remove guns. If teachers (and students in colleges) carried, then there woukd be fewer school shootings. The reason these people hit schools is because the chance of armed resistance before you can do a lot of damage is next to none.

Having read every post to this point, it's clear to me Malphas is really, really low on empathy. Even though tp4tissue can be opinionated and offensive (and so can I), ultimately we're not deficient in this basic human thing called empathy and this makes us normal.
I'd say, Malphas, do the world a favor, take only jobs that involve technical skill and don't involve people interactions. I'd hate to have you as a boss, a client or a co-worker.
i'm hoping he's just trying to be a massive troll...
if not, it's frightening to be reminded that many people simply lack empathy, or any semblance of human compassion. it's insane.

The knee-jerk reaction to vilify everything about a person just because you disagree with something that person said is IMO one of the worst things about humanity today.
The whole thread is hilarious. It's not a reaction you'd get on most places. I'd expect it on 4chan or something, like a place full of losers that probably identify with him, but I thought we had normal socially-functioning adults here.idk how you continually connect empathy with SOME of elliot's more mild feelings (rejection, loneliness, NOT murderous rage, insanity, or narcissism) with condoning or excusing his actions because of his mental illness. he's still a monster who did an extremely stupid, irrational, and ****ed up thing. i can never sympathize or empathize with the action of murdering random, innocent people because I was mad over not getting laid.
Basically, make absurd videos about how life owes you, and how unfair it is that hot women that you're only interested in on a purely physical level aren't throwing themselves at you, then go out on a killing spree over it = poor, misunderstood individual that needed counselling and hugs.
Make fun of said individual for the ridiculous videos rather than sympathy = monster/satan/troll
I've never vilified a single person I've disagreed with on here, if that's what you're implying baldgye. Me and Krogenar have had civil but opposing arguments dozens of times, for instance. The only person I've ever said anything negative about on a personal level has been tp4, but that's because he's awful and boring, not because I've disagreed with anything he's said.
I simply don't care enough about the subject to express my wider views on people with mental health issues and the danger posed to society by them. My motivation for making this thread was triggered by laughing at his videos and how embarrassing/awful they are.

^^ Corrected this to match my feelings on the matter.
The murder can't be excused, obviously. Nobody is saying that it can be. But that doesn't change the fact that he was messed up, in pain and in serious need of help. His videos are pathetic. Laugh at him if you want but they indicate that he needed help and wasn't getting it. And there are thousands more like him. That's the part I sympathize with.
