Well they could have said it was partly their fault for raising someone that thought it was a good idea to kill a bunch of people because he wasn’t handed willing women.

Most likely the result of absent parenting, then bribery of stuff for his attention or decent behavior.

Perhaps they could have spent the money they paid for his car on some mental health treatment.

So, if their precious snookums had mowed down a bunch of innocents by driving his car into a crowd at 90 miles per hour, would they want to outlaw cars?

Prayers for all involved.
There is nothing to discuss with this, just to mourn.

Hey, I’m in favor of parents being involved in their kids’ lives, staying together, giving them a set of principles, rather than BMWs. How’s that, Mr. Rodger? You might have tried a little of that instead of this BS preaching about gun control as if that would have stopped your weirdo spawn. He didn’t get strange from nowhere.

Hunger Games actually has a lot of old fashioned values in it....a young girl in her teens loving her mother and sister so much that she risks everything, all the time recalling the memory of her dear departed father....if anything, Hunger Games takes a look at gallantry and virtue...

That is liberalism right there, getting everything they want on a silver platter..then bitching when things don’t go their way, and blaming others..still can’t figure out how he was able to stab three grown men in his apt without any of them making a peep

Most of the wounded victims were run over by his BMW.

I understand he was a licensed driver.

And now California is giving licenses to illegal aliens.

The government controlled him. They flipped a switch and the guy went on his pre-programmed mission. Just another incident to help push gun control. I’m only half kidding.

That’s a mighty unpopular viewpoint. The Hunger Games is sick garbage and out culture celebrated it. Yikes!

oh, wait. Found it. multiple therapists.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/killed-mass-murder-shooting-uc-santa-barbara/story?id=23853918

Brown said cops have had three previous contacts with Rodger before Friday’s shooting, including when a member of Rodger’s family asked police to check on him because of alarm over his behavior and videos. Brown said the cops found no reason to take further action on Rodger.

One of the other incidents occurred in January when he made a citizen’s arrest of his roommate for allegedly stealing three candles, and again in July 2013 when he claimed he had been assaulted. Police determined that Rodger may have been the aggressor, Brown said.

Rodger was being treated by multiple therapists and was a student at Santa Barbara City College, said family lawyer Alan Schifman.

Probably a conference call with those two, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Mike Bloomberg and Michael Moore.

Notice the statement was made THROUGH THEIR ATTORNEY. He knows they are about to get their butts sued off, and this would be the way to limit the damage.

If I had to guess where this kid's problems start, it is the fact that his dad is a macho Hollywood boor and his mom is an Asian hottie. Daddy likes to tout his studliness via his wife's sexuality. Sonny doesn't measure up, can't get attention from daddy, wants his mommy, and hates the guilt.

If somebody molested him as a child the Oedipus complex would be that much worse.
