Great. Richard Martinez is probably going to turn into another Tom Mauser.

Father of Christopher Martinez (killed by City College student Elliot Rodger) 1:31 YouTube Video of Richard Martinez statement to media (brother standing beside him)

He did himself no favors by zeroing in on guns in his emotional statement.

.....First, three men were "repeatedly stabbed" and killed inside Rodger's residence. They weren't identified.

It's odd how still almost nothing is reported about these three murders, only a line or two in every story I've read.

I strongly disagree with you — and I am a member of the NRA. I thought this poor man was obviously and understandably distraught and I do not fault him for anything he says within just days of losing his son.

“”Was he a muslim?””


Don’t know if he was. But it is interesting that his biological mother is from a Muslim country Malaysia. And his current step mother is also from a Muslim country Morocco.

I dunno but in days of old, a young man who needed to expel some libido would even go to a hooker in order to take care of the virginity thing. I am not advocating this course of action as a remedy but it might have worked out better for him to go that route. Heck, he was so loony he should have tried other avenues.

The bizarre thing is that he apparently was able to buy these guns legally, even though he was already, at the time, living in some sort of sheltered residence for the mentally ill. That’s where he killed the first three people (with a knife).

So what does it take to be diagnosed as somebody who should not be allowed to buy a gun?

I also read that his parents and his therapists evidently were alarmed, and they called the police, who interviewed him and decided that he was ok. Then not much later he started killing all these people.

What in the world does it take to get the mentally ill out of circulation, or even appropriately diagnosed in the first place?

Every single one of these mass killings has been committed by someone who was mentally ill, regardless of the means they used to kill.

...he thought the BMW could make up for a lack of personality and normal charm. Why can’t these idiots just blow their own brains out and be done with it?

Those three knife murders are an inconvenient truth for the mainstream media’s gun control activism.

Or and environmental/population control activist (like Obama's Science and Technology Adviser (John P. Holdren), Al Gore, John Kerry, John Podesta....).

(CNN) -- All the weapons used in Friday's rampage near the University of California, Santa Barbara, "were legally purchased" and registered to the suspect, Elliot Rodger, said Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown.
As a parent, you know your kid is nuts (from an early age) and you allow him to get guns legally? Yep, it must be the fault of the NRA. Surprised they didn't also blame Bush and global warming too.

Exactly.

Here is an news article about this murderer and not one mention of the 3 knife killings (of his roommates) or that many of the injured were mowed down by this murderer who aimed his car at them.

There was a guy driving a BMW. I was on a long board and he aimed his car at our group of friends and gunned it into us.

This, too, was obviously the fault of the NRA. < / sarcasm >

This distraught, broken hearted father, misspoke in terrible fashion. If anything.....I’d put my money on.....if the kiler of his son and others voted in 2012....that he voted for Obama/Democrats!!! Actually, this sick killer nutcase, evil one would make a perfect paring with Obama’s “Pajama Boy”!!! Sad days for America.

Sir: Although your statments bring forth no thruth....I shall pray to God Almighty to accept your beloved, wonderful son in Heaven, where he will share eternal life, blessed life, forever!!! God be with you, sir....and your entire family and loved ones in these times of massive hurt, pain & tragedy. Your son, sir was killed by an evil doer, sheltered by a family that should have known better!!!

I also noted at Sheriff Brown’s press conference last night, the sheriff set up a poster board with photographs of the three guns.

Why didn’t he also have a poster board with a photograph of the knife used to kill three males?

Why didn’t he also have a poster board with a photograph of the BMW used in the attempted murder of nearly a dozen people?

Yep, we get one or two lines about the knife murders of three males, then dozens and dozens of lines about the gun rampage where the targets were mostly women.

The fact that he murdered three roommates at the start of his spree makes it even more clear just how insane he was.
