Gunman stabbed 3 to death before spree
New York Post ^ | Kathianne Boniello, David K. Li, Laura Italiano and Linda Massarella

Only when cops entered Rodger’s nearby apartment did they find his first victims: three multiply-stabbed men whose names were withheld Saturday night, pending family notification.

It remained unclear Saturday night if any of the three were Rodger’s two roommates. He had written in the manifesto that he would “have to kill” them so he could turn the place into “my personal torture and killing chamber.”

“I will start luring people into my apartment, knock them out with a hammer, and slit their throats. I will torture some of the good looking people before I kill them, assuming that the good looking ones had the best sex lives.”

Authorities were slow to release details about the victims, although one anguished dad told reporters that his 20-year-old son had been slain in the rampage.

“When will this insanity stop?” Richard Martinez cried outside the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office of his slain son, Chris.

“Too many have died,” Martinez said, nearly collapsing with grief. “We should say to ourselves, ‘Not one more.’ ”

Before the spree?

Seems to me that they were part of the spree just like the cyclist he ran down with his car.

No, no, no. You don’t understand the narrative. The spree only starts when he starts shooting.

Not to be cynical in light of this tragedy, but did all three men die at the same time? If that’s the case we’re raising a nation of wimpy men. Three on one and dude is supposedly wielding only a knife and the three men are dead. If I’m assuming something that is wrong my apologies.

“Before the spree?”

The museum docent says, “This dinosaur is sixty-five million and nine years old.” When asked why it’s such an arrestingly specific age he says, “Well, when I started here they told me it was sixty-five million years old. That was nine years ago.”

The press was told that the spree consisted of x people. Obviously, to the press, anybody killed before those x were pre-spree. Any killed after are post-spree. You just have to think like a reporter to get it right.

Rodger appears to have sharpened his anger last year on the online forum PUAhate, where lonely men who dub themselves “incels” — involuntary celibates — discuss their disdain for “pick-up artists.”

There, the gunman fantasized in 2013 of releasing “a virus that would kill every single man on Earth, except for yourself . . . You would be able to have your pick of any beautiful woman you want, as well as having dealt vengeance on the men who took them from you. Imagine how satisfying that would be.”

After the shooting, other members on the site called him a “hero,” the Daily Mail reported.

Below is a quote from the mentally ill left wing fascist before he slaughtered innocents.

“I will start luring people into my apartment, knock them out with a hammer, and slit their throats.”

Mentally ill left wingers not only should be banned from being around guns, they should not be around hammers and knives.

Two particularly horrific local murders were committed by two mentally ill people.

One killed with a hammer, the other killed with a knife.

I’m constantly amazed at the number of people who think they have “to teach you a lesson”.

Rich kid convinced his life stinks and that it somehow becomes everyone else’s fault.

And his life probably did stink, but for its screaming emptiness and pointlessness.

No morals, no purpose, and a charge card.

You should see this guys Facebook page, the whole page is just one photo after another of himself, just completely over the top self absorption. So where the hell were his parents? Friends? This is considered normal behavior to them?

You need a Facebook page to see it otherwise you won’t get the full page.....

This little spoiled rich kid with an inferiority complex retreated into the anti-social world of video game addictions. Plus he had no jobs nor was he attending a church or other religious functions. Instead he was so consumed about being rejected by others especially girls. Gotta blame the parents some too for not providing more direct involvement in his life instead of just spoiling him with his little wants and desires. This maladjusted kid destroyed lives including his because he couldn’t deal with life’s little disappointments and instead of developing inner character to deal with it he took it out in self absorbed revenge. Just the sort of gospel that Hollyweird and stupid video game plant into the minds and souls of the defective young. He was a slightly saner version of that other freaktoid Adam Lanza. Shame.....

...or the fact that he injured others by running them down with his car.

I wish we normal people could get the morons to understand that guns aren’t the problem. The people are the problem. If they want to demonize and blame inanimate objects, why don’t they go after the vehicles that the drunken illegal aliens are using to take out Americans.

I had a very uncomfortable ride in a car with a guy like this ~30 years ago. Young, good-looking, rugged build, big flashy car, grad student at a top-notch University. We were a group car-pooling to a church-related outing. All the other cars were filled and apparently nobody else wanted to go with him, and so I got in.

As soon as we were out of the church parking lot and on the road, he started telling me how he hated all the stuck-up women in this group who never wanted to date him. He started putting them down as being, variously, "too fat," "not as smart as she thinks," "skanky-looking," "hypocrites," etc, and why couldn't any of them see what a catch he would be, who was physically at his prime, well-educated, dazzling career ahead of him. Meanwhile his eyes were glaring and his face bunched up like a fist.

Oh, and he mentioned he had a gun and was an excellent shot.

I was never more eager to get out of a car.

Never heard anything more about him, never encountered him again in my life. But I am a tad irritated at the other women in this group, who --- it turns out --- knew about him but didn't warn me.

Just curious - does the perp have a history of psychotropic drug use?

Lanza, Hassan, Holmes, Dorner and Loughner (etc.) were all bat**** crazy. Normal people just don't commit mass murder.
