These are the victims of the May 23, 2014 Isla Vista, CA killings. They’ll receive too little face time for their loss.

The fact that he was never actually outright “rejected” and simply expected girls to just come to him wanting to fuck him makes this even more pathetic.

(Part 2) TRIGGER WARNING …

So, by now you have all heard of 22 year old [UCSB Shooter] who went on a killing spree in Isla Vista, a community in Santa Barbara, California. One Friday night, [the UCSB Shooter] shot and killed 7 people, including himself, close to the University of California Santa Barbara campus.

Prior to his violent shooting rampage, [the UCSB Shooter] recorded a video titled, Day of Retribution in which he states, “college is the time when everyone experiences those things such as sex and fun and pleasure. In those years I’ve had to rot in in loneliness, it’s not fair.” and “you girls have never been attracted to me, I don’t know why you girls aren’t attracted to me, but I will punish you all for it”.

About a month ago, after seeing some of [the UCSB Shooter]’s YouTube videos, his family contacted authorities. Law Enforcement interviewed [the UCSB Shooter] and said they found him to be a ‘perfectly polite, kind and wonderful human’ and took no further action.

Now we have media outlets labeling [the UCSB Shooter] as a “mad man”, “spoiled brat”, “misunderstood”, “good human” etc and continuing to file this mass murder under mental health.

Understand that no one is saying that he did not suffer from mental illness, I’m sure he does. But we CANNOT ignore the fact that this mass killing was rooted in his hate of women (misogyny) and inability to properly deal with rejection. There is much to unpack about this incident, how it was handled and how it will be portrayed in the media, but for now I’ll post some tweets from those of us responding to the shooting on twitter.
