Denied again by people he hated, gunman improvised - Nana Johnson 2nd Period

Elliot Rodger attempted to slaughter and “punish” young women inside a UCSB sorority house. He was upset about his social and sexual isolation, and blamed women for the lack of attention he received. He planned to target as many people as possible. He attempted to enter the sorority house, however no one answered the door. Instead, he randomly opened fire on a group of students, took off in his car, and shot himself. He had stabbed 3 victims in his apartment, shot and killed 3 students at random, and injured 13 more with gunshots or his car. In his writings, he wrote out his plan to kill his roommates and the sorority sisters. He concluded those represented the world that tortured him. In the end, he was found in his car after he shot himself.

So I don’t know if this guy was just mentally ill or if legit misogyny, sexism, racism, patriarchy, and supremacy was the cause of innocent lives to be lost. Documents show that Rodgers was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, which may have increased his outrage at the world. Even with Asperger syndrome, he was a real life example of how misogyny and supremacy still exist and are an actual problem. Mental illness aside, Rodger thought that he was entitled to being wealthy, took his family for granted, thought that he deserved beautiful girls, and that the world was against him. I read his manifesto, and he talks about how women made him feel insignificant, and that is what fueled his hatred toward women. After reading his manifesto, I realized jealousy, self hatred, and inferiority caused him to feel hate toward the world. I can’t imagine how the families of those who were wrongly killed by him feel.
