Enter Elliot Rodger.\u00a0 A 22 year-old spoiled brat, spawn of a movie producer.\u00a0 Twenty-two and driving a BMW he didn’t pay for.\u00a0 Fueled by gasoline he bought with money he didn’t earn on a credit card he didn’t pay.<\/p>\n
He kills a lot of people, the total probably is not yet known.\u00a0 He targeted pretty college girls.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 He felt rejected by them.\u00a0 None of them would pop his cherry, it seems.\u00a0 He tried to befriend them only to be rejected and watch them gravitate to ogres and pigs.\u00a0 While he, the self-proclaimed “supreme gentleman” spent his life lonely, rejected, a life of unfulfilled desires.<\/p>\n
He felt rejected.\u00a0 He felt that he should have a girlfriend because he dressed nice, wore $300 glasses, had a nice car.\u00a0 “…\u00a0that\u2019s just such an injustice because I am so magnificent. I deserve girls much more than all those slobs I see at my college.\u201d\u00a0 An injustice.\u00a0 It seems reality set in and he discovered that life really is not fair.\u00a0 And he was woefully unprepared to handle it.<\/p>\n
The problem couldn’t possibly be that despite your obvious gifted wealth, you were simple a shallow, craven idiot devoid of personally redeeming qualities.<\/p>\n
This is what a bloated and misplaced sense of self entitlement brings.\u00a0 This is the fruit of telling your kid all his life that he is special and better than others–a winner at everything.\u00a0 And we have generations of them all coming of hormonal age.<\/p>\n
**UPDATE**\u00a0 The monster’s father blames who?\u00a0 Politicians and, of course, the National Rifle Association.\u00a0 What, George Bush had nothing to do with it?\u00a0 So, just proven is that the problem was not just with the kid.\u00a0 The parents also are to blame since they failed to raise him properly.\u00a0 You can’t coddle and provide for everything.\u00a0 The kid has to learn responsibility and experience failure.\u00a0 Spanking works on kids.\u00a0 Grounding and privilege denial works on teens.\u00a0 Anything else, and you can expect violence when they experience rejection.\u00a0 But you go on–blame the inanimate gun.\u00a0 Asshole.<\/p>\n
**\u00a0UPDATE 2**\u00a0 So now it is revelaed that the monster had been in therapy since the age of 8, and “virtually everyday of high school”.\u00a0 In light of this, it cannot have been a surprise to the divorced parents who hide behind the excuse of “we thought he was in good hands”.\u00a0 Yes, that’s right.\u00a0 Medicate and put him on a couch.\u00a0 That absolves you completely.\u00a0 I mean, he’s a director.\u00a0 In Hollywood.\u00a0 He doesn’t have time to deal with a kid on a short fuse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
