Rampage in college town began with stabbings [heavily armed: used guns, knives, car]
KEYT ^ | May 24, 2014 | Ralph Ellis and Sara Sidner

"The rampage left six dead and 13 hurt, with eight suffering gunshot wounds, four hit by the suspect's vehicle and one suffering a minor injury "of unknown origin," Brown said.......

.........First, three men were "repeatedly stabbed" and killed inside Rodger's residence. They weren't identified.

Next, members of the Alpha Phi sorority in Isla Vista reported hearing loud knocking on the front door for several minutes. Nobody answered. Several minutes later, witnesses saw three women in front of the sorority house shot by a man from across the street. Two were killed, one wounded. All were UC Santa Barbara students.

Rodger drove his black BMW several blocks, went into a delicatessen and shot Christoper Martinez to death, officials said. Martinez was a UC Santa Barbara student.......

.....Richard Martinez, father of Christopher Martinez, said to reporters. "Chris died because of craven, irresponsible politicians and the NRA. They talk about gun rights, what about Chris' right to live? When will this insanity stop?"....

....One victim, Nick Pasichuke, told CNN he was struck by the gunman's car.

"There are six other people currently hospitalized with me right now. ... There was a guy driving a BMW. I was on a long board and he aimed his car at our group of friends and gunned it into us. I have two broken legs and need surgery. The police said I flew roughly 50 feet into a busy intersection. This is all so crazy."

Ian Papa said he was inches away on the street when the gunman's car sped up and struck two bicyclists......

I’m willing to bet that he was anti gun before this happened, but it is a bit mean to assume that he is somehow overjoyed with this ‘opportunity’ the guy lost his son.

"I’m not sure if I’m quite THAT cynical, but time will tell if you were right. I they end up touring the country like certain other Special Guest Grievers such as Gabby Gifford and her ex-astronaut husband, or Trayvon’s frowning, money grabbing, race baiting parents, we will know they may be opportunists."

The lives of children are disposable tools for Muslims. Why not the same for their fellow travelers, the Leftist zealots in the US? All for the cause. It's for the children and all that...

If someone posts something about him being “ overjoyed with this ‘opportunity “ then you should post to them, don’t claim that I said that.

In other words, he was known to be so mentally ill that he had to live in a special facility, but nobody, including his family, was alarmed enough by his strange, violent ravings - which he publicly posted in social media - to intervene.

He seems to have used a variety of things to kill people, and I think his family’s attempt to leap on the gun control bandwagon is really an attempt to divert attention from their massive failure to pay attention to somebody who was clearly very sick. Not to mention the mental health professionals who must have been monitoring him during his stay in the sheltered living facility...where were they during all this?

Here is the issue MENTAL HEALTH!!!!! and the failure of a system that allows these mentally ill to self medicate themselves in a normal societal environment. The school system is great at this, they put these disturbed kids under meds into normal environments for THEIR own rehabilitation at the risk of putting your child in danger.

And through college, 2 1/2 years, more than that actually, I'm still a virgin.

Ever tell anyone your father was a Hollywood director, bright boy? When I was in college, UCSB was renowned as one of the premier party schools on the West Coast. And the son of a successful Hollywood director couldn't get laid there?

Not to make light of any of this but when I hear his rants it made me think of this;

Watch whole episode or start about 3:17. To me it sounds so similar it’s creepy.

Re your #14, his words...sounds like he was demon-possessed; very similar to words spoken by demon-possessed people against humanity.

I can’t say that I disagree with him about all the beautiful women hooking up with ugly brutes. Except all of my ex-wives, of course.

Guy had Aspergers, which, when combined with being an a-hole isn’t a winning combination with women as it makes you look a creep because if you are an a-hole you need to have enough social skills to hide the fact you are an a-hole long enough to get them into bed. I assume.

I watched the video made by the sicko. Bizarre words aside, he was actually a good-looking, well-spoken man.

He was also calm and cool under pressure. He was detained by police shortly before launching the massacre but talked his way out of it.

Given those skills, why wasn’t he able to talk one of those Santa Barbara airheads into bed? A real puzzle.

Have any of these anti-gun people ever said exactly how “gun control” will stop people from getting guns and killing people? If gun laws were the answer, wouldn’t Chicago and DC be the safest cities in America?

No one talks about “crazy people control”.

Interesting that the father of one of the deceased used this as an immediate opportunity to spew his anti-gun beliefs to the media.

Is it just a coincidence that Janet Napolitano is president of the Univ. of CA? Ever since Obama took office, I see conspiracies around every corner.

Was he a muslim? This all just seems to “neat”. I don’t think there is a guy in the world who can’t find some girl. And in college there are all sorts of people to make friends with. And his family was well-off from what I have heard. Something just isn’t right...

If he watch the raving of the psycho-killer on YouTube, he would observe no mention of politians or the NRA.

Setting aside his “women don’t like me” grievances, why would he kill his 3 roommates in the assisted living home?

That father’s blame sounded like a thought out political statement, by someone not wanting to waste the media opportunity.
