Mother: Santa Barbara Rampage Lawsuit To Prevent Future Tragedies

that they all wished they could have laid down their lives for their children.

Rodger’s first three victims were roommates, David Wang and James Hong, and Chen who was visiting. Each was stabbed numerous times with a nearly 9-inch boar-hunting knife.

The lawsuit contends that authorities, and the apartment building and its owners, Asset Campus Housing, a Texas-based company that provides student housing around the nation, failed to check Rodger’s online postings in which he spouted venomous comments about women and others and bemoaned his virginity.

...

The suit said that after Rodger moved into the Capri complex in 2011, he insulted and clashed with a string of roommates and exhibited bizarre behavior, yet the apartment owners failed to conduct reasonable background checks before assigning Hong and Wang as his roommates. The suit also says the complex failed to warn them that “Rodger had had serious conflicts with his previous roommates and was not only racist but also potentially violent and dangerous.”

It also contends that the county and its Sheriff’s Department violated the victims’ rights to due process by ignoring repeated “red flags” that Rodger was violent and unstable, even after a mental health worker saw YouTube videos that Rodger had posted and contacted authorities to say that Rodger appeared to be a danger to himself and others.

So the people that own the housing are supposed to check all of the social media out there and determine if they should kick the guy out?

When people suing use language indicating they are seeking relief other than money they should be held to their words and denied monetary relief.

I guess it would depend on what they knew about his behavior. Had previous tenants complained in some official manner? We know the Sheriff’s Dept. was warned.

Saw that. Not sure what that means. Kinda like an assault knife I guess.

Some FReepers here probably go hunting boar with a just knife every time boar is in season. Maybe they can post a picture of one.

The media buried the part about him hating blonde white females.

I’m guessing a boar hunting knife is a typo for a bear hunting knife which is an imaginary device similar to a bowie knife.
