Worth a thread imo. You know he must be a complete loon when he's at college, drives a new BMW, has a loaded dad who works in Hollywood and is not clinically obese or by any means ugly; yet he still can't get a shag or a kiss.

Wish I had that sort of fire power at college. I would have never looked back.

BBC News - Elliot Rodger is Isla Vista drive-by killer - US police


Elliot Rodger's Retribution (Alleged Killers Video Threat) - YouTube

Some of his posts on the misc.

Elliot Rodger on penis size:

Short and to the point this one:

A thread he posted on the misc - I'm tired of seeing losers with hot chicks - Bodybuilding.com Forums



His channel is ace, glad he took the time to upload this one:


Dancing in the car, Elliot Rodger style - YouTube

At the risk of starting the Americans & guns debate, his family say he'd received psychiatric treatment. How'd he get a gun ffs?

butthead aka 216

i had already seen his vids as they were posted on /r/cringe a few days ago. i saw the misc thread too. there will be a lot of ppl here at mb who dont understand the context of the misc and what it is so i will explain that ppl werent like goin out of their way to bully the guy. its just the culture of the misc in general. same with the stuff he said lol, its just the misc culture but its interesting to see his posts knowin what we know now.


he obviously had social issues just judgin from his vids. like a lack of social awareness or somethin. its a shame he shot all those ppl tho, he solved no problems. sad to hear and a shame. my opinion on gun rights is well known and will not change

BBC News - California shooting: Victim's father blames politicians and NRA

butthead aka 216

of course i understand or try to understand the grief and anger him and his family has. but just on the issue at hand hes completely wrong. i dont think its been said how the kid got the gun????? he said in the video about 'they wanna talk about gun rights'... well yea they do cause they are important lol. its a constitutional right


now obama will get up there and a bunch of other democrats tryin to push new gun laws r whatever and usin this incident as a catalyst for that.

Cuthbert

Even when me and my mates had some dodgy connections, getting hold of coke and the like, I don't reckon the dodgiest fucker I knew could have got me a gun without the old bill finding out.

I'm not saying getting hold of some sniff is some Goodfellas shit and I'm definitely no Al Capone but that lad looks nerdier than Mr. Bean ffs.
Probably never even got a parking ticket but can get a gun, legit or not?

butthead aka 216

well its a trade off u make as a society. u can either:

1) not have guns

-no psychos who shoot up movie theatres
-cant protect yourself or family or property

2) have guns


-psychos who shoot up theatres and school
-protect yourself and family or property


since takin guns off the street isnt possible theres only one option. but i think gun owners should maybe need to take mandatory classes or somethin. i still dont think it would stop the occasional psycho but theres stuff that could be in place. its just a matter of settin all that stuff up and creating that system that is the tough part



also in addition to gun outrage this will likely cause im sure someone will wanna blame 'the system' or whatever else for this. i dont want anyone to get the wrong idea here, this is all this guys fault and nobodys elses. terrible crappy things occasionally happen in life. i hate this general feeling of need to give blame to as many ppl as possible everytime somethin bad happens

^ That`s true at the moment, but it doesn`t have to be the end of the story. The American constitution has been amended in the past, and presumably it could be again.

^ Actually, dj, isn`t it the opposite that`s true? With effective, strict gun control, the guy wouldn`t have been able to get a gun legally, so it might have made a difference.

^ CB has already pointed out that you can protect property without guns, butthead, so I`d like to point out that even if guns cannot be taken off the streets entirely, it`s still possible to take some steps in that direction. It would be a tough, controvertial process, but there are plenty of things that could be done.

Although it`s a different time and place, what happened in Britain might serve as a guide to what is possible. After the Second World War there were quite a few illegal guns floating around - admittedly, most of them were just German souvenirs that people had no intention of using, but a similar process could still be applied in the US to good effect:-

i) declare an amnesty in which guns can be voluntarily handed in
ii) crank up the costs of gun licences and penalties for unlicensed guns
iii) establish strict controls about gun ownership. In Britain, that effectively means that you have to prove that you want it for hunting or sport; as far as I know, no-one is licenced to hold a gun in a city, for instance.
iv) give authorities the right of inspection, which means that a registered gun owner has to show, at a moment`s notice, that his gun is kept in a safe, locked cabinet, or he risks having his gun confiscated.

It`s not my country, so I don`t know the detailed circumstances and don`t want to appear too critical, but maybe America could benefit from some of these measures too.

He got the guns legally. I heard from a different source. Even if there was stricter gun control. He still got them legally so it wouldn't have even mattered.

Some liberals like to equate gun control with banning all guns but they aren't the same thing.

Anyways fuck that little douche. I spent way too much time on him yesterday finding out various information about him and laughing at his videos with his evil villain laughter.

His videos are definitely the type that I felt like I shouldn't laugh at but I couldn't help myself. Psychiatric help wasn't working for him either. He was seeing a therapist but I don't know if they prescribed him anything or not. Probably not, just milking his sessions instead of advising that he sees a shrink to get prescribed.

He was also racist and jealous of black guys being able to pull better than him.

You can protect your property in a number of ways, you don't need a gun to do that. If I found someone in my house I would just bounce them down the road.

You're right though, seems like it isn't an option to just take them off the streets in America. I don't know how you can fix it tbh.

Sounds like something you'd do CB
