In Southern California, many know now that Elliot Rodgers, a 22-year-old student, went on a killing spree. What is amazing is some of the reactions to this event. Salon, the lefty web site, published an article blaming the killing on white male privilege, and the Washington Post ran a somewhat similar article.
Elliot Rodgers was a handsome young man; his father was English, and his mother Chinese. Why does a man only half white become white? Because most deem him evil! Why does the half Hispanic George Zimmerman become white? Because the Left considers him evil! Why does the half white Barack Hussein Obama remain Black? Because the Left (which dislikes whites), considers Obama good. So he is Black.
The father of Rodgers and others immediately strike up the agitation for gun control. His murder spree is the fault of lack of gun control. Yet, Rodger's first 3 victims were not shot - they were killed with knives and a hammer. And he tried to kill others with his BMW. Should we ban knives? Ban hammers? Ban automobiles? Did the hammer cause the murder? Neither did the guns.
The feminists are shown on television complaining about the war on women and this is one more example. Rodgers did hate women who rejected him. He planned to murder many. His manifesto elaborates how women have been cruel to him, rejecting him, and he will not get his revenge.
But the first 3 victims of Rodgers were men. Two were his roommates, and one a visitor. All 3 of them were Asian. In planning his murder spree, Rodgers admitted if he liked the roommates, it might be more difficult. But they were ugly. They had terrible voices. They were the worst of nerds. He would enjoy killing them. He did kill them. But nowhere in the media does one hear about a war on nerds. Or a war on the uglies (and not everyone would consider his roommates ugly). Or a war on Asians. Rodgers then killed another male and later, himself. So of the 7 dead, 5 were men, 2 were women. However, only the feminists get to push their agenda that all men are rapists, or planning to rape, or other criminal types. The media provides the feminists the forums to propagate their anti-male messages.
There is little doubt that Elliot Rodgers enjoyed economic privilege. I watched one of his videos on Youtube. He had his BMW, why he had even bought a pair of Armani sunglasses for $300. How is it, he asks incredulously, that no woman will fall for him? He asserts that he is "fabulous" He is oblivious to how obnoxious he is in that video. He is young and handsome, but his parents undoubtedly gave him the money for the sunglasses and car. Worse, he showed no interest in most women. He wanted a trophy lady, preferably blond, blue-eyed, and perfect figure. He probably viewed most women like he viewed his roommates, ugly with terrible voices. And it seems most of the beautiful blonds were unimpressed with the arrogant bastard even if he had $300 Armani sunglasses.
The problem in America is not guns. The problem is trying to find the right balance so that crazy people can be committed to mental institutions. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" implied that people inside the crazy houses were just as sane as those on the outside. And America began to close its mental institutions. Most crazies were set free. And it became almost impossible to commit a lunatic. Parents were helpless trying to have children committed; so were other relatives. The result was that crazies were often on the streets, reducing the quality of life for everyone else, until they were arrested and placed in jail. They did not belong in jail. They belong in mental institutions.
Elliot Rodgers should have been committed to a mental institution. He became a crazy killer. He used guns, knives, and a car to kill. Guns are not the problem. America does not know how to handle the mentally ill.
Of course, some may be on the US Supreme Court. The high court is so determined to prevent justice to murderers, so determined to prevent the death penalty (which murderers justly deserve), that now the court ruled a murderer need not be too crazy or too mentally deficient to avoid the death penalty. The Supreme Court is clearly wrong again. If a crazy or an idiot murders, all the more reason to execute them. They are even less likely to learn the evil of their deed that a mentally stable murderer.
