Men are not all bad and are manageable. There is no way to force a man to admit they have emotional problems. Some have developed such a prejudice against the notion they may have great difficulty understanding. Being a supreme dick of a man is pretty rare.
Just some perspective.

Yep. Subtract out the mental illness part and none of this happens. It might be important to specify that mental illness isn't just one thing if you are worried about stigmatization.

What's ikeswife's assessment?

Man, if his posting ITT isn't enough to get SM2 banned, I don't know what is. Absolutely disgusting. I'm not going to respond to another one of his posts.

Ya know.. I know this kid ranted a lot about women and all, but apparently he disliked Asians and killed 3 asians. I'm not one of those butthurt asians who tries to stand up for their rights and ****, but that part of the story gets no traction. He even lived with 2 chinese kids. wtf? There is literally almost no mention about his racist stuff, the misogyny angle gets all the airplay. I dunno. Is it weird I'm even thinking about that?

I'm unsure how you can say this if you have any experience with it. Last year a friend of mine started acting very strangely. He was always a bit obnoxious but he started getting REALLY weird and doing some outlandish stuff. We all thought he was doing drugs, but my best friend said that he was showing all the behaviors of having bipolar disorder. He did things like offer a girl he somewhat knew money for sex, spending extreme amounts of money (he blew through 40k), getting arrested 5 times (DUIs, getting kicked out of places), telling people he was the Mesiah, claiming he healed people in the hospital....

It was absolutely crazy. It got to the point where he was calling me at 4am constantly and either happy as hell or crying his eyes out. He kept telling everyone he was going to play for the Phillies or the Eagles, but he couldn't decide which team. He would not take his medication and it just got to the point where everyone avoided him because he was completely impossible to deal with.

Its really a scary thing, and it could happen to anyone. He went from a completely normal responsible person who took care of his family to spending his entire life savings, losing 2 jobs, and getting arrested 5 times. I actually was slightly worried he'd shoot me.

Just crazy ****.

No it's not. The guy was a despicable, two faced, racist psychopath. I habitually have various news channels on and I keep having to instantly change the channel when it shows his evil little rants. Disgust and nausea are what I feel when he comes on and I hear his voice, I have to look up from the comp and change the channel stat.

Of course it's weird. Didn't you know its only racist if it's something negative towards black people?

You'll only get one big collective yawn from posters here and others on the left about racism towards Asians.

Bottom line is the guy was violent and nuts. Trying to reason out the crazy and then blaming a whole unrelated group doesn't make sense. It's simple opportunism and it's disgusting.

If his 3 roommates were black, Gizmo would not be saying this AT ALL.

It's just weird. 6 people died, 3 were Chinese, and it's almost strange to me the way it's portrayed. Why are there no interviews or pictures or anything of the 3 Chinese kids?

I might be overthinking this. I know Asians are usually treated as invisible, but this seems ridiculous.

They just showed all the victims on CBS evening news. The 3 you are referring to were his roommates/roommates friend and I don't think them being killed had to do with them being chinese.

Oh, they did? Ok maybe I'm wrong then. Just wanted to know if anyone else thought the same thing.

The shooter is also of asian descent, right?

I don't really see the media ignoring an obvious race angle.

He's partly Asian, but he identifies with his white side more from what I can tell. He talks bad about Asians in general.

Most of his rants were against women though. He had a serious hangup about not getting laid. I used to be dissapointed in the amount I got laid at that age too, but then I became a super-pimp and hit everything in the tri-state area so I got over it.

Now I'm just old and accept it. Still got game though.

Do you ever know what you are talking about?

Yes, I am an expert at pointing out double standards.

Very false
Lol silverfetish

Lol....pretty much impossible to come up with an end to that sentence.

So you know why fewer women were killed, right? He went to the sorority house and when they heard his knocking, they didn't answer the door. Two of the people shot were women outside of the sorority and when that happened, he skeddadled and started shooting people from his car/running over cyclists. So yes, he didn't kill more women than men but that's only because the sorority did not open their doors.

And a point that I've heard from the feminist side that I don't know if I agree with or not yet, is that if he had been a member of a known anti-semetic group and then went out and shot up a synagog (though no actual Jewish people were killed) people would have a different reaction to the story. Rodger definitely followed a hate group at pua hate, and my hope is that there's some decent discourse in the broader media about how incidious the underbelly of the mra is. This story reminds me a lot of the Canadian guy who hated and killed a bunch of women - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Lépine .





What even are you trying to say? In his own words Rodgers hated black people, white blonde sluts, Mexicans, and yes Asians. He was a **** stain of a human being and I hope that if a hell exists, he's there.

'...nothing.'

Easy, turns out.

The reason the misogyny gets aired is because the guy was a huge misogynist

http://wehuntedthemammoth.com/2014/0...ogyny-matters/

While mental health is central to this case the misogyny is something unique that we didn't see in other mass murders like James Holmes. Mental health issues are exacerbated when people isolate themselves from society and the rhetoric of the MRM could easily lead one to alienate themselves from women leading those with mental health issues to commit crimes against women.

Everyone's a **** including Elle Roger

Take away his mental illness and you have an extremely unpleasant and bitter loser. Take away his misogyny and... what? Does he stop feeling entitled to happiness? Does he stop regarding it as the world's duty to provide him with everything he wants? Does he fail to conclude that violent 'Retribution' is an appropriate response to the world's failure in that regard?

And as I said, it's not that the misogyny angle isn't worth discussing. I just object to that article's attempt to sideline the mental health issue as though it were some irrelevant afterthought.

He was already living in his version of hell. It's particularly callous to send someone there twice.

If murderers go to hell then ALL murderers do including JFK. If you agree with the sentiment then I'm perfectly ok with both of them going.

Mental illness is not "bad" as in evil or as in not significant? Some mental illnesses or no doubt minor but some are as debilitating as physical illness. Some mental illness is manageable some is not in my novice view.
