Elliot Rodger

I wonder if Rodgers could have drugged them before he killed them.

They might not yet have toxicology tests back.

The police might also know more than they are saying right now.

COLLEGE campus killer Elliot Rodger blamed his violent misogyny on a pretty former childhood friend who went on to become his vision of all “mean, cruel and heartless” women.
Rodger became obsessed with Monette Moio, a fellow British expat and now-model, who was in seventh grade while he was eighth in the same California private school, according to his chilling manifesto.

In the twisted document, Rodger admitted he had a crush on the girl, but the feeling was apparently not reciprocated, and he hated her for it.

“My experience during Middle School really darkened my view of the world, and it would only get darker from then on, as I suffered more and more. The way I was treated by girls at this time, especially by that evil b***h … sparked an intense fear of girls,” wrote Rodger, 22, in his rambling 141-page manifesto
But the girl’s father, veteran Hollywood stuntman John Moio, said she only “vaguely remembers him” and was far too young to have been one of the “mean, cruel, and heartless creatures” that Rodger railed against.

“He called her a bully. She was just a little petite girl of just 10 years old,” Mr Moio, 75, said.

Mr Moio said he spoke with his daughter after her name surfaced in Rodger’s manifesto.

“He was [a year] older. She remembers him being odd, that’s it,” the dad said.

“She’s devastated over the whole thing,’ he told the Daily Mail. “It’s like she’s being implicated in this terrible tragedy for something she hasn’t done and can’t remember.”

Prior to the killings that left six innocent victims dead in the California college town of Santa Barbara, Rodger had allegedly told a friend that he wanted to hold down and rape women, the friend’s mother has revealed.

My mother carried on pressuring me to get a job, and she would never leave me alone about it. She was a bit frustrated that I wasn’t getting one. The two of us had a lot of arguments, and living with my mother became an extreme hassle.

After signing me up to a program in the regional center, my mother found a life coach to counsel me and help me find a job. This life coach’s name was Tony, a boisterous 40 year old man who came to meet me every other week. I was open to going along with this. I had plenty of free time, and I was so lonely that any social interaction was welcome. For our meetings, Tony usually took me out to lunch somewhere in the Valley, where he gave me advice on socializing and self-improvement.

I continued searching for a job, but I still wasn’t able to find one. I refused all of the jobs that Tony suggested to me. The problem was that most of the jobs that were available to me at the time were jobs I considered to be beneath me. My mother wanted me to get a simple retail job, and the thought of myself doing that was mortifying. It would be completely against my character. I am an intellectual who is destined for greatness. I would never perform a low-class service job.

This grandiose snob already thought that doing a "simple retail job"

I think the "men's rights" groupies should stop trying to see this kid as an alleged pathetic victim of an alleged female dominated society. They should take a look at what he was really like before making him the poster boy for the oppression of men.

To my knowledge he didn't even have an association with it at all.

he had certainly read a fair bit...he quotes somebody or another.

This guy is not a perfect representation for our argument, but he is a partial one, and we will be having a lot more, and better.

Have you been around young people in the last 10 years? This kind of unreality about the job market is damn near normal with todays youth. One if the biggest problem with college grads that go on the market is that they pretty much all expect a $50K job offer right out of school.

A Hollywood brat? I had no idea they existed!

I wonder if Elliot ever considered trying to date an average looking girl, or did he consider that "beneath me" too.

If you want a different result then treat men better.

subject, seem borne out by the lop-sided overage given to his two white, female and one Hispanic male victims as opposed to the Asian males. They were Weihan Wang, 20, George Chen, 19 and Cheng Yuan Hong, 20, by the way.

Much has been made of Rodger's misogyny, yet he stabbed these three Asian men to death and mutilated their bodies. Think about the sort of mind needed to do something like that, then move calmly on to your next victims? Ask yourself if they're the actions of a sane man?

The sheriff's office "was not aware of any videos until after the shooting rampage occurred," Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kelly Hoover said.

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, institutionalizations 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.
