Suspected Mass Shooter Elliot Rodger's Final Video is Chilling, Deeply Disturbed

|

Above is the final video of suspected mass shooter Elliot Rodger, believed to be the gunman behind the deaths of six people (seven, inlcuding himself) at University of California, Santa Barbara.

It is disturbing in the extreme. The Washington Post has a transcript, which reads like a parody of a male supremacist screed from generations ago:

Girls, all I have ever wanted was to love you and to be loved by you. I wanted a girlfriend, I wanted sex, I wanted love, affection, adoration. You think I am unworthy of it. That is a crime that can never be forgiven. If I can't have you, girls, I will destroy you. You denied me a happy life, and in turn I will deny all of you life. It is only fair. I hate all of you. Humanity is a disgusting, wretched, depraved species. If I had it in my power, I would stop at nothing to reduce every single one of you to mountains of skulls, rivers of blood. You deserve to be annihilated. I will give that to you. You never showed me any mercy, so I will show you none. You forced me to suffer all my life, now I will make all of you suffer.

Whole thing here.
