No, the author hit the nail on the head. He’s speaking to the sane.
“In the event that there are more Elliot Rodgers out there that are ready to snap because girls way out of your league won’t respond to your creepy advances; and yet, you’re not completely sold on the murder/suicide option:”
Yes, but Elliot was crazy.
I once had a bought with depression. People would give advice like, “buck up, it’s going to get better.” They did not understand it was not a matter of not wanting to get better. It was an issue in my head.
This kid was not just sad and angry. He was f@&ked up. None of the advice this guy wrote could fix it.
Crazy is crazy. Do not try to make sense of it. And don’t try to take my guns away because of it. THATS what we need to protect ourselves from.
