That was extreme, although, I see what you mean, there was almost method in his madness. Not reason, but almost method.

Fuck that guy.

He's despondent, selfish, detached, and a coward. Sounds like he deserves to be alone. Should have just killed himself instead of taking three innocent women with him. Nothing is ever an excuse for cold-blooded murder, ever.

No sympathy.

Its incredible how people like this wont even consider Therapy.
I think it's because truly psychotic people never actually believe they're crazy in any manner. That's why when people actually try to insist they're insane, most other people just know they're full of shit.
Ive noticed this too. Ive also noticed that 95% of the general population needs therapy in some way. it would greatly help society

Thanks for posting this. Made sense? Not really. I can empathize to a degree, being a bit of a loner myself, but killing so many innocent people because you feel alone does not make sense. Especially when there are so many options online and elsewhere to meet people. I'm not tryin' to be a troll or flame or anything. Just responding to your valid question. Hope you don't take it the wrong way. Totally crazy stuff. Good article. Thanks again.
It's cool man. I wasn't condoning his action, I was just thinking that some of the points he made where valid, in a weird, psychotic kind of way. Although, personally, I wouldn't like to subscribe to that kind of thinking.
Yeah, I figured. I should have said, "I'm sure you don't condone this kind of stuff..." first, huh? I think if some people feel bad for this guy, it's not like that means they support what he did. We're all human, yeah? (For the most part...lol) Sad stories tend to generate empathy in people, don't they?

The perceivable problem with this man was his sense of value he seemed to think that having a woman in his life was the biggest thing that he could achieve he became solely focused around this this was the reason that he did not have much luck with woman as his perverse angle of looking at life was off putting i believe even if he had gotten a girl friend this would not of solved his problem as he would of thought that by getting a girl he had achieved the highest goal he could.

For all you people saying about him being lonely his loneliness was not caused by a lack of love but a lack of achievement you see how he keeps quoting dates when he last had sex ect? this shows that he was not out for love but he felt substandard because he felt that he hadn't achieved anything with his life when he compared himself to the you collage girls.

of course i do not claim to be a psychiatrist but i dont think that any man who is up set because of a lack of love goes out and murders other women that seems the actions of someone who is bitter to me.

Well, I would be sorry for this guy, had he not been trigger happy.

The psychos in the world. They scare me.

But honestly, I don't understand why people decide, "Hey! I have a horrible life! I think i'll kill some people!" Their brains just...just don't make sense.

How am I accusing or not recognizing the source of the problem? Obviously he was unwell. I'm not accusing him of anything other than murdering innocent strangers, which he did.
Apologiez, i was just re-reading that and realized i chose the wrong words to express that. What i meant was the decrying of something without understanding and just seeing the horrible side of it. Granted its only natural, but it seems like todays society is very quick to dismiss everything with just a few loud words and then movin on to something else. Im not here to change peoples minds or perspectives, its not the publics fault they are uninformed, i just wish the people would get a little more educated on mental illness.
Education about mental illness? We're definitely in agreement there. It's something that is horribly stigmatized -- which is one large reason people don't seek treatment.

Does this guy remind anyone of the dude who shot Lennon? They seem parallel to me in that both of them adored and wanted something so badly, but they couldn't have it, so eventually it becomes a symbol of hate and anger, then they go do something like that. For Mark Chapman the symbol of loathing was Lennon, for this guy it was women.

Is there a name for this type of thinking? If not, there should be.
I believe it's called crazy talk.

The ironic part is that they go to the gym for their health.

Macabre humor side, if you're grabbing a load of guns to go shoot up people in a gym, it's pretty likely your mentally unhinged enough that anything you psychotically rant about should and will be taken with the copious grains of salt being delivered by the crazy train express you're the engineer of.

Sure, rejection is something that provoke hard feelings on a sheer genetic level, and any heterosexual man can sympathize with a desire for female companionship, but saying, "that guy who performed a cold-blooded murder/suicide because he hasn't got any in 19 years sounds like he's pretty on the ball with his reasoning" is silly.

If it weren't for people talking this way, maybe he would of been to humiliated to get mental help, which might of lead to him and those women still being alive.

People being nice and therapy are two different things. People around him probaly made comments like the one you made above and this made him embarrased to talk about his problem. By the time he wrote that journal he was far to far gone for help, but that doesn't mean he was always that way.

I can sort of empathize with his frustration with women, as I am hardly a ladies man, and that was particularly true during my years in high school. HOWEVER, I chose to get advice and get help when I got so angry I thought I might be a danger to others. Since then, I have had a couple girlfriends and a (relatively) successful social life. My current single status has more to do with me being stuck indoors getting my Masters degree, and for the moment, that's not such a bad thing, at least until I get my thesis done. Then I plan on getting back on the dating circuit.

I guess my point is that he should have been more introspective about himself as a person as opposed to blaming everyone else. This guy was angry as all hell. Most women I know do not find this an endearing quality. According to his neighbor's account he was also extremely anti-social. He can hardly expect women to flock to him if he never gets out, regardless of his physical appearance (which appears to be the only thing he was working on, and suggests that he very well might have regarded women simply as shallow sex objects, which also doesn't help).

However, at the end of the day, it was still his choice to resort to senseless violence instead of seeking help. To brutally murder three people he doesn't know from anybody purely because he can't face his own issues is not by any stretch acceptable, and I feel so bad for the families of the victims for suffering at the hands of a narcissist who projected his own shortcomings onto everyone else. I agree with Susan Arendt: The stigma regarding seeking counseling needs to be done away with, and I hope that would reduce the number people who do things like this. Some people are truly beyond help (that's a quote from my therapist), but not all of them, and it seriously bothers me to think of how many people scream for help (even if they don't realize it themselves) and either no one listens or they are ridiculed for it.

In any event, it is a tragedy on all fronts.

Thats very true. But judging by my avatar (Thomas Hobbes, if you've heard of him yay, if you haven't hear of him) I believe Humans are bad and we should feel bad about being so bad. Now my REAL opinion that I kept to myself not to provoke the unbridled fury of nice people is... Mentally Unstable people/Retarded people who cannot live by themselves or have another problem (Really bad fetishes like Blood/Murder/Pedophile/this guy type of crazy) should just be killed. Thats it. Done. All they're doing is wasting resources. Also, I've been to therapy. All I did was lie and on the crazy scale I'm... well I'm quite crazy but thats not the point. It was useless and... I can't really remember why I was there. So my point is moot. *sigh*
