The young man in the video promises to take revenge on sorority girls who had rejected him over the years.

Women are attracted to power, money, or fame. This should have motivated him to acquire the knowledge and skills to get a good paying job. Then he could have hired all the beautiful escorts he could handle instead of feeling sorry for himself and wanting to kill them. Sheesh.

This priviledged idiot was driving a BMW-—and he put something on the web the night before he did this.

Was complaining about NOT getting ‘any dates’ with the girls he wanted & “Never’ having been kissed.

Just how far does the feeling of ENTITLEMENT go???

He didn’t appear to be black, but I pretty sure he wasn’t Swedish or Norwegian!!

To those who feel entitled there is no limit. Either you subscribe to the philosophy that you have to work to achieve things, or you go the other way and decide that everything that you want should be yours simply because you exist (And you are wonderful or you have been told repeatedly by political whores that the fact you do nothing and have nothing is someone else's fault) and you want it (see 0bama voters)

The young man was clearly the murderer, as he boastingly planned to be. However, the parents have got to be thinking, did we overlook certain signs for years? I’m presuming they weren’t aware of his madness, not to that degree. His anger may have become intensified because he had an almost androgenous look to him. Some pre- teen girls like that,(i.e. Justin Bieber) but many women seem to prefer a more adult look (Brad Pitt).

I was struck by his comments that he was isolated. Why? Maybe he had some form of Asbergers Syndrome, a type of high functioning autism, where the subject has very little sense of intuition, and social cues are missed or wrongly interpreted. He often posted to some website based on guys who felt rejected by women and were bitter about it. I read some posters on that site were calling his murders a ‘heroic’ action. That is a dangerous site, and should be taken down asap.

Interesting points, but autistic people are asocial yet he sought interpersonal relationships; he just felt he deserved more than he was getting, since he thought all the cute blond sorority chicks should want him rather than the 'brutes' they dated.

I was also struck by his androgyny, and wondered if he was a self-hating gay--could be. But ultimately, I still feel that his parents told him how wonderful he was day and night, but the world did not agree--this crushed him.

He was not crazy--a bit sociopathic--but not crazy. He was totally self-absorbed and had no feelings for how others might feel. That is part of sociopathy.

I think his mother is Northern African ancestry, like Moroccan or something, and his dad of European ancestry.

Somebody should have told Elliot, the more appropriate outlet for his sex-driven hatred for humanity would have been a career in politics.

After laughing at your spelling, and the bizarre images it brought to mind, I did “the impossible”, I opened a dictionary, and looked up the correct spelling. The disorder is spelled as ‘Asperger’, so, case closed.

I don’t think spell-check would have let you get away with it.

How come I have to get information form the Brits and not from home ‘”journalists”?

Because the MSM are fifth-column lying, leftist, oxygen-stealing traitors.
