students in UC Santa Barbara are mourning the death of 60 their peers
after a shooter
who we will not identify on this program stabbed three
up his roommates and then proceeded to shoot three students are one in a deli
and two of them
outside up a sorority now I the reason why the shooting happened was because
the shooter felt as though he was being rejected by women
there was a there were a number of posts on you too
and on social media indicating that he was frustrated with his lack of love
life
he was a burgeoning many felt that the reason why he was a virgin was because
women were not giving him a fair shot or a chance
and after he carried out this terrible shooting
and this terrible you meant I he
decided to shoot himself and committed suicide as police were chasing him down
he crashed his black BMW
and that was when he shot himself now Apple is even took place
we found that he had sent a 141 page manifesto
to his a mental health the provider
and he also did the same to his parents whose parents had read it they alerted
the authorities immediately
however it was too late this you meant unfortunately took place Friday night
and by the time his parents arrived to the scene he had already killed
six people at the University now I their word
there was one YouTube video he posted online where he kinda specifies what he
was so frustrated about let's take a quick look at the first video
whenever I dried term yes
college town on Isla Vista which is just right next to UCSB
I see so many hi beautiful blonde girls
walking when absolute to can
obnoxious looking douchebags and I just can't help but think
how wrong that is knows beautiful blonde girl should be walking with me
not those groups I deserve and more
when both horrible man get to experience the love
and affection have such beautiful
heavenly girls well I have had time right now only
yes all my life it's not fair
so that was really what he needs
wrote about the most in his manifesto he felt that
it was really his entitlement he was entitled to get
the love and affection and women and unfortunately women were going for
quote douchebag men and he was also specific about how he didn't agree with
a blonde women going for minorities which was another weird angle to his
manifesto
about his sexual frustration of Easley grew to the point where you took matters
into his own hands
he had legally purchased three different guns in the state of California
he was diagnosed with Aspergers although he was a high-functioning Aspergers
up percent he was diagnosis early as nine years old and he had been seeing
mental health professionals for his condition he was
prescribed medication however he refused to take that medication after he googled
it
but this story is very unique in the sense that yes this is another mass
shooting that happened here in the United States but it's really difficult
to pinpoint a particular political agenda to it and the reason why I say
that
is because he lives in a state California or lived in a state
where we have the strictest gun laws in the country at the same time you can't
really pinpoint
our lack of mental health care because he came from a relatively wealthy family
and had
access to that health care however he carried out the shooting
anyway but before we get all of that let's just watch one last video where he
talks kitten
are speaks in more detail about why he's gonna do what he did
I don't understand you girls it's like
your sexual attraction is flawed
its perverted you're attracted to the wrong kind of guy
you should be attracted to guys like me
beautiful magnificent guide
Miss World
sound twisted its ok for all
you girls make a crawl
you girls have start me up sex and enjoyment and pleasure
for my entire you
you've taken eight years away from my life
a years-long never get back
know how much misery and cost me
and such a nice guy when you give me a chance
was incredible about that video is it isn't the only time that he posted
something online
indicating that he was sad that he was lonely that he had this
ridiculous amount of hatred and anger toward women in specific men I mean he
had been going to
pick up artist web sites he'd been posting in forums saying really hideous
and heinous violent things about women
he had threatened to hurt women in summer those posts
however considering the fact that the NSA is collecting all this private data
on us regularly
it amazes me that they never thought that there was something a little
questionable about this guy
or that maybe they should look into it further now to give you more context
into his mental health
his parents are actually very concerned about his mental health
and they alerted authorities about him after he had said that he was extremely
depressed he was angry he was frustrated
authority showed up to his door and they said well he seemed completely fine
he was a little shot I he was articulate he didn't seem like he was under the
influence of any drugs
so they didn't diss they decided against searching his home we're doing anything
like that
but he was actually worried because at that point he'd already purchased three
guns
and had already written his manifesto in fact it said later on that he was happy
that the cops didn't search
the home because they would have unravel his plot and you would be able to carry
out what he unfortunately dead
last Friday now to give you a sense a how many weapons he had her exactly the
type a weapons yet had three semi-automatic handguns
and 400 rounds I've ammunition
the Daily Mail did post up pictures up his weapons
after he had purchased the weapons he had are written about them
and here is what he said he said I'd already done some research on handguns I
decided to purchase the Glock 34 semi-auto
semi-automatic pistol and efficient and highly accurate weapon
I signed all the papers and was told that my pickup day
with mid-december he continues to write after I picked up the handgun I brought
it back to my room and felt a sense of power
I was armed who's the alpha male now bitches
so he obviously purchase these guns with the intent of using them to harm others
california is that like other outlets a red states where they have very relaxed
gun laws
in California for instance gun owners must pass a state and federal background
check
up they then must wait 10 days after the purchase of a handgun before they pick
it up
at the store california residents cannot buy more than one handgun
each month and also though all three have the pistols were designed to hold
at least 15 rounds
california law limits magazine capacity to 10 rounds
so again if you do a comparison of California in all other states
you'll notice that California does have some the strictest gun laws
on the books and I tell you that as someone who is an advocate for gun laws
because
I don't want this to be a story about politics I don't want this to be a story
where someone uses it for their own political agenda
this is a case where you got the mental health he needed this is a case where we
have gun laws on the books
there are some advocates are anti-gay anti-gun
individuals who say hey if he was diagnosed with Aspergers
then he shouldn't have any access to guns well that's an interesting argument
but if you look at high functioning Aspergers individuals
they are usually people have problems with social skills so for instance
they have problems with communicating with their peers they might have
repetitive behaviors
they might have a certain rituals that they do over and over again
but mostly it's focused on this anti-social behavior so
maybe it makes sense to have a conversation about whether or not
someone with aspiration have the ability to get a gun
but to me the most jarring part about this story is that he was posting
anti-women n time n really beilin things online
and no one even thought to look into it right I'm not saying hey you know what
he's posting something negative online let's arrest them
I'm just saying that if he has this pattern where he saying violent things
about specific people on forums
then in the aid to the NSA collecting all this private information on us
why is it that there wasn't a red flag why is it that the parents turn them
into the authorities and they didn't do a proper investigation
that's really the PAR the story that stands out to me more than anything else
