Son of Hunger Games Assistant Director kills 7 in rampage

He died a 22 year old virgin.

I read leftist sites from time to time (surprise) and the reaction is... kind of gross, honestly.  Highly ideological (guns!) and extremely misandrist (spreekillers are always men!) without recognizing it as such.  This particular case strikes me as only incidentally gun-related--indeed, he actually stabbed three victims to death--and misogyny is only an indirect consequence.  Though the conversation is bound to involve social ills (easy access to firearms, the dangers inherent to elevating normative masculinity as the only possible metric of success for men, and maybe even disproportionate distribution of sexual activity) I don't think any social ill is at the core.

He's eerily like a Houellebecq character. Slightly more narcissistic and sociopathic, for sure, but pretty much spot on.

By the time he posted this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBvaVWdJRQM he's pretty much a goner. Look at his creepy body language, Master Villain ramblings and general social ineptness, he'd give any chick goosebumps in a bad way.

That is exactly what I was thinking.  You've read Extension du domaine de la lutte?  He's like a real-life version of the guy that the narrator off-handedly manipulates into murdering a black guy and his white girlfriend.

So?  Lots of people are 22 year old virgins.  Right?

Anyway just a horrible story.  There is always this fear for women when they reject some super creepy guy that he comes back with for revenge so this is hitting some nerves out there for them.

But ultimate damn how are we having so many of these mass murders lately?  Copy cats?

Weird thing is, with probably very slight behavioral modifications, he'd probably have been able to get dates.  Modification one: stop looking like you're thinking about wearing someone's face when you talk about their "blonde blonde BLONDE" hair.

I would expect not.

Dude getting dates is not that hard.  That is why those douche seduction community guys think they are geniuses.  They actually get out talking to women and discover that most women want to have sex and relationships with men.  Anyway I think it is a bit late for this dude to get sane dating advice.  Also I highly doubt him actually getting laid would have done anything but put the poor women who had sex with him in danger.

Damn.  I was a virgin until 23.  I didn't realize that was that big of a deal.

Oh, I just wanted to point out how fucked up he must have been, not trying to give dating advice, a field in which I am singularly unqualified.

We have gun laws that prohibit selling guns to mentally ill people, but these laws are not being enforced.
Start enforcing existing laws before you try to make new ones.

So you agree that the private seller loophole should be closed?

No.

So you don't want to enforce the existing laws against sales of guns to mentally ill people?

I thought not.

Stop asking me questions, dammit!

He died a 22 year old virgin.

Some Islamic suicide bomber will get him in his 72 virgins in Paradise package.

Win win. Shooter gets laid, and islamo will get a virgin to cornhole.

[CountDeMoney]

Was talking to Pops about the shooting at dinner, about how this guy had chick hang-ups.

"Maybe the reason he couldn't get laid was because he was so fucked up in the first place."
"Easy to solve that.  Just find a fucked up girl."

Pops is always the practical cat.
