Santa Barbara slayer mimicking Warcraft character (Garrosh Hellscream- Leader of the Horde)
World net Daily ^ | 5-25-2014 | Aaron Klein

In his last YouTube video, Rodger stated in what seems like prepared remarks, “If I had it in my power, I would stop at nothing to reduce every single one of you to mountains of skulls and rivers of blood, and rightfully so.” Official sound files from World of Warcraft’s Mists of Pandaria have Hellscream, voiced by Patrick Seitz, stating, “I have seen mountains of skulls and rivers of blood, and I will have my world.”

I would assume an apt building there were people inside, and no one called the police so yeah, I guess no one made a sound

People rarely look outside when car alarms are blaring, who knows how much noise it might take to get someone to call the cops?

A tentative thought out there, though, has to sort of conflate this example of very bad behavior with what had been dramatized in the “Warcraft” video game.

Maybe the imagery from the video game is not what sent him screaming over the edge. But it did little to rescue his state of mind.

Images everywhere in Hollywood scripts may have also contributed their little bit. Still, a psyche so unsteady as to attach to and magnify the significance of these casual associations marked him as a flawed human being. There was a much deeper failure to adopt civilized behavior. It may have been environmental, it may have been a genetic predisposition, or it may have been simply an inability to forge social bonds with peers.

Whatever the basis, it had little to do with a sidearm, knives, or a BMW, all legal products, but badly misused.

If I were parents of the slain or an enterprising attorney...I would start a class action lawsuit against game distributors who train our youth to commit mayhem.

It's not the game, the slayer was just too far gone period. Don't fall into the Tipper Gore trap.

She may superficially resemble dad’s first wife, which isn’t unusual for men’s second marriages.

He was short, socially inept, and his anger about his introverted personality turned into evil violence. But he wasn't gay. His writings expose not one inkling of homosexuality.

Maybe stabbed them all separately, maybe while they were sleeping.

He says life is unfair, that he isn't an alpha-male, the type the girls go for!

Well now, I hear those sorority sisters are really into the World of Warcraft types. I cannot see for the life of me why they wouldn’t go out with him.

(Do I really need the sarcasm tag?)

We took down Hellscream last night. After that, I ported over to Timeless Isle and camped a bunch of Alliance. Still only at 511. Need to get more Flex gear so I can guild raid.

I read he was diagnosed with functioning Asperger’s Syndrome.

That would explain the loner aspect, and the poor interpersonal skills.

He seemed to be fixated on blonds, and his own inability to attract them.

I once met a teenager with Asperger’s and he was a genius about car statistics (a walking car magazine).

I doubt the gay predictions here, and chalk that up to some strange fixation with homosexuality which I observe on some conservative forums.

That story is idiotic BS and the author is facilitating further evil by distracting gullible members of the public away from the real problems that led to this monster being created.

Agreed.

Furthermore, as I said above...at no point is Garrosh glorified. Quite the opposite...he’s rightly condemned as a monster.

Crazy kid takes entirely wrong lessons from something that wasn’t intended to be a lesson at all, everyone wants someone to blame, they latch onto the easiest target and punish, punish, punish.
