On May 23, 2014, in Isla Vista, California, Elliot Rodger, 22, killed six people and wounded fourteen others near the University of California campus, Santa Barbara, before committing suicide in his vehicle.
The attack began when Rodger stabbed three people to death in his apartment. After that, he went to the student's house and shot three female students outside, killing two people. He passed the nearest shop and shot dead a male student inside. He started speeding through Isla Vista, shot and injured several pedestrians and hit several people with his car. Rodger exchanged shots with police twice during the attack, receiving a non-fatal shot to the hip. The anger ended when his car hit the parked vehicle and stopped. Police found him dead in a car with a gunshot wound to his head.
Before driving to the dormitory, Rodger uploaded to YouTube a video titled "Levy Elliot Rodger", in which he outlined details of his upcoming attacks and his motives. She explains that she wants to punish a woman for refusing her and that she is jealous of sexually active men and wants to punish them for being sexually active.
After uploading the video, Rodger sent a long autobiographical email to some of his acquaintances, his therapist, and several members of his family. The document, titled "My Twisted World: The Story of Elliot Rodger", was made available on the Internet and widely known as its manifesto. In it, he describes his childhood, family conflicts, frustration at not being able to find a boyfriend, his hatred for women, contempt for a spouse, his disgust for an interracial couple, and his plans for what he describes as "retribution".

Events
Get started
In September 2012, Rodger visited various shooting to train himself in shooting a gun. In November 2012, he bought his first pistol, Glock 34, in Goleta, after researching a gun. As documented in his manifesto, he judges Glock 34 as "an efficient and highly accurate weapon."
In early 2013, Rodger bought two additional pistols, both SIG pistol Sauer P226, writing that they "have a much higher quality than Glock" and "much more efficient". He bought guns in Oxnard and Burbank.
According to his manifesto, Rodger has saved $ 5,000 pocket money, given to him by his parents and grandmother, to buy the weapons and supplies he needs for the attack. The arms legal expert said that no known history prevented him from buying legal firearms.
Attack
Rodger started his assault on his apartment on Seville Road, where three people were found dead inside. Each victim has received multiple stab wounds, and all have been killed about three hours before the shooting. Their bodies were found the day after the shooting. They are identified as Rodger's roommates, Weihan Wang and Cheng Hong, and a friend named George Chen.
Blurred blood stains in the main hallway of the apartment showed at least one of the victims had been attacked upon entering the apartment. Authorities later said that the presence of a bloodstained bath towel and paper towel in the bathroom indicated Rodger had been trying to clear the hall after each murder. Bodies Wang and Hong were found in the bedroom with them, while Chen's body was found in the bathroom. The positioning of the bodies suggested that each victim enters the apartment separately before being killed, and Rodger had tried to hide the bodies of the first two victims by covering them with blankets, towels and clothes. Police removed knives, hammers, and two machetes from the apartment, but they later decided that the two knives found from the rucksack found in Rodger's car were the weapons used to kill the apartment victims.
Less than two hours before the shooting, Rodger went to a Starbucks coffee shop, where he bought coffee. He was then seen sitting in his car in the parking lot of his apartment building about 8:30 pm , working on his laptop. He uploaded a "Levy" video on 9:17 pm , and sent his manifesto email on 9:18 pm
Rodger went to Alpha Phi college student in Embarcadero del Norte and Segovia Road near the University of California Santa Barbara. She knocked on the door of the dormitory for a few minutes. After no one answered, he started firing at the people who were nearby. He first shot three Delta Delta Delta sisters, killing two of them and injuring a third. Responded to the deputy sheriff and the nearest pedestrian ran to the victim and tried to care for their wounds before the ambulance arrived.
Upon returning to his car, Rodger drove two blocks to Pardall Road and fired once at the coffee shop as he went east. The store was closed and empty at the time, and no one was hurt by the shot. He then arrived at Isla Vista Deli Mart and fired several shots into the building, fatally shooting a student inside. His car was seen leaving the scene by four people who responded to patrolmen, but they did not identify him as a shooter and he escaped without incident.
Rodger drove south on Embarcadero del Norte on the wrong side of the road, crashing into a pedestrian crossing the street and firing at two others on the sidewalk but missing both. Embarcadero del Norte turns near the 7-Eleven convenience store, forming "The Loop", where he keeps shooting, hitting the couple who came out of the pizza restaurant and then a female cyclist. He drove south on El Embarcadero and shot and missed a woman, turned east on Del Playa Drive, then turned back and drove west, where he exchanged shots with the deputy sheriff, who responded to 9: 27 pm 9-1-1 call, and attacked two pedestrians. Students at Isla Vista Church, in Del Playa near Camino del Sur, were completing their worship at the time and hearing gunfire.
Turning north on Camino del Sur, Rodger shot and wounded three in Sabado Tarde, and also hit a skateboarder and two cyclists with his car. Turning east on Sabado Tarde, he hit a skateboarder with his car and shot two others at the crossroads with Camino Pescadero. At Sabado Tarde near Little Acorn Park, he again exchanged shots, this time with three sheriff's deputies, and shot in the left hip. Chased by the police, he turned south for a second time at El Embarcadero, then west again at Del Playa. He hit a cyclist, then fell on the northern sidewalk to the east of the intersection of Del Playa and Camino Pescadero.
Police found Rodger dead in his vehicle from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head. He killed a total of six others, and wounded fourteen others.
Aftermath
Police are investigating a total of 17 crime scenes. The search for Rodger's car found three pistols, two knives used to kill three people in the apartment, six ten-round magazines empty, and 548 unused ammunition items, all found in magazines or boxes of ammunition. As many as 83 shell casings have been recovered from the scene, 55 of whom were fired from Rodger and 28 from the deputy sheriff. Rodger bought a 9mm weapon legally in three different cities. Sheriff of Santa Barbara County, Bill Brown said that there was a video and written evidence showing that the crime was planned and the preparation took more than a year.
Officers from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives began the search from the detached house of Rodger's mother and father in Los Angeles.
The media later reported a frantic attempt by Rodger's parents to intervene on the night of the murder. After receiving a copy of the manifesto, Rodger's therapist called his mother. He checks his YouTube channel, where he finds a video of "Levies" he has uploaded a few minutes earlier. He called Rodger's dad about the annoying video. He was horrified when watching the full video. Rodger's father, his current wife, and Rodger's mother, all frantically driving from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara in two separate cars. During the trip, they call the police on Isla Vista and they arrange to meet them upon arrival there. Hearing radio news reports about the shootings on Isla Vista, his mother called the therapist, who told him that it was not related, saying that Rodger promised to act the next day and it would not be like he deviated from such details. When they arrived at the police station on Isla Vista, they learned that the news report was actually about their son, and that he had killed six people.
A month after the rampage, the stabbing parents' parents expressed anger and frustration about various aspects of the case, including the failure of the police to take precautionary precautions before the attack, a limited amount of information issued by the authorities about the killing of their children, more public interest in Rodger than the victims, and feel the emphasis on the rights of the mentally ill for the rights of the victim. On March 2, 2015, a family of three stabbings filed a federal suit against the county, sheriff's department, apartment building and property management. The mistaken demands of death are suspected that the defendants failed to recognize warning signs and take action to prevent the tragedy.
On February 18, 2015, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office released a final 64-page investigation summary report of the murder.

Performers
Elliot Oliver Robertson Rodger ( July 24 , 1991 - May 23 , 2014) was confirmed by the police as the sole perpetrator of the murder.
Early life and education
Rodger was born in London, England, and moved to the United States with his parents when he was five years old. He grew up in Los Angeles. His mother is Li Chin Rodger, a Malaysian research assistant for a film company, and his father is British filmmaker Peter Rodger, whose credits include working as assistant director of the second unit for The Hunger Games and his own. feature film Oh My God. A younger sister was born before her parents divorced. After his father remarried, he and his second wife Soumaya Akaaboune, a Moroccan actress, had a son together. Grandpa's father Elliot Rodger is photojournalist George Rodger.
Rodger attended Crespi Carmelite High School, an all-boy Catholic school in Encino, Los Angeles, and then Taft High School in Woodland Hills. He graduated from Independence Independence College at Lake Balboa in 2009. He moved to Isla Vista on June 4, 2011. Rodger studied at Santa Barbara City College (SBCC). In his manifesto, he says that he is out of all classes in February 2012. The school says he no longer takes classes.
According to his family lawyer and a family friend, Rodger has seen many therapists since he was eight years old and when he was a student at SBCC. The lawyer said that Rodger "received psychiatric treatment", but Rodger was never formally diagnosed with mental illness. A psychiatrist has given him the prescription of an antipsychotic drug used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, but he refuses to accept it. According to Rodger's mother, he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, but a formal medical diagnosis of the disorder was not done. He was actually diagnosed with an unspecified pervasive developmental disorder, another autism spectrum disorder, in 2007.
In ninth grade, Rodger was "getting bullied", and he wrote that he "cried at school every day". During his time at Crespi Carmelite High, he was harassed by other students including an incident involving his head taped to his desk as he fell asleep. According to Rodger, in 2012, "the only friend [he] in the whole world who really understands [he]" "openly says he does not want to be friends anymore" without offering a reason for ending friendship.
Rodger has a YouTube account and a blog titled "Elliot Rodger's Official Blog", both of which contain articles that express loneliness and rejection. He wrote that he had been prescribed risperidone but refused to take it, stating, "After researching this drug, I found that it was absolutely wrong for me to take."
After 18 years old, Rodger began to deny the mental health care his family had given him, and he became increasingly isolated. He says that he can not be friends even though his acquaintance says that he refuses their efforts to be friendly.
Screenwriter Dale Launer, who is a friend of the Rodger family, stated that he had advised Rodger to approach and befriend a woman, but Rodger did not follow the advice. He said in an interview, "I first met [Rodger] when he was eight or nine years old and I could see that something was wrong with him.I am not a psychologist, but looking back now he thinks of me as a broken person from the moment of conception. "
Previous incident
In July 2011, Rodger followed the couple he was jealous of Starbucks at Goleta and threw coffee at them. In later incidents, he splashed his latte on two girls sitting at the bus stop on Isla Vista for not smiling at him. In July 2012, Rodger buys Super Soaker, fills it with orange juice, and uses it to spray the kick-off game at Girsh Park.
Referring to the incident that occurred on July 20, 2013, Rodger writes that "he's trying to push women at parties up on the cliff as tall as ten feet after being mocked but failing", and otherwise the other kids pushed him over that. He said that he "felt his ankle pain, followed by a stinging pain" and "tried to escape from it as soon as [he] could". Realizing that he left his sunglasses at the party, Rodger returned to retrieve it, but "the same people he disturbed before began to taunt him and called his name, then dragged him into the driveway to beat him." One of Rodger's neighbors said that "he saw Rodger come home, cry" and said that Rodger claimed he would kill the people involved, and "commit suicide". Rodger told investigative officers that he had been attacked, but they decided he might have become an aggressor. He wrote in his manifesto that the incident was the last trigger for his attack planning.
On January 15 , 2014, Rodger accused his roommate Cheng Yuan Hong of stealing his candle; he arrested citizens and called 9-1-1. Hong was charged with petty theft and pleaded guilty to the charge. Hong is one of Rodger's stabbing victims.
On April 30 , 2014, about three weeks before the attack, Rodger's parents contacted the police after being worried by his behavior and YouTube videos. He wrote in his manifesto that he had planned the murder and bought his weapon at that time. The officer who interviews him in his apartment will find a weapon if they do a search in his bedroom. The sheriff of Santa Barbara County, Bill Brown, later said that the deputies "decided he did not meet the criteria for forcibly holding" and Rodger told them "it was a misunderstanding" with his parents.
Manifesto and online post
Rodgers' 107,000 word manifesto entitled "My Twisted World: The Story of Elliot Rodger". He e-mailed this manifesto to 34 people, including his therapist, his parents, and several other family members, a former school teacher, and a childhood friend. In the manifesto, Rodger claims he initially attempted to carry out his attacks on Halloween 2013, but returned because "[t] here would be too many cops walking around during events like Halloween, and the police are the only ones who can get in my way."
In his last YouTube video, entitled "Elliot Rodger's Retribution", he complained of being rejected by women when he was jealous of sexually active men, and described the details of his upcoming attacks, laid out his motives and plans. After the murder, the video was removed from Rodger's account, but the copy was repeatedly re-posted by other users. In the video, he said:
Well, this is my last video, it should all come to this. Tomorrow is the day of vengeance, the day I will take revenge against humanity, against you all. For the last eight years of my life, ever since I entered puberty, I have been forced to endure an existence of loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled desires all because the girls have never been interested in me. Girls give love, and sex and love to other men but never to me.
I am 22 years old and I am still a virgin. I've never even kissed a girl. I've been in college for two and a half years, more than that, and I'm still a virgin. It's very excruciating. College is a time when everyone experiences things like sex and fun and pleasure. In those years, I have to rot in loneliness. Unfair. You have never been interested in me. I do not know why you guys are not interested in me, but I will punish you all for that. It's an injustice, a crime, because... I do not know what you do not see in me. I'm a perfect man, but you throw yourself at these annoying people, not me, gentleman.
He writes in "My Twisted World" that the mixed race makes it "different from normal white kids". At an online forum, he said he was against racial dating and made racist posts about African Americans, Hispanics, South Asians and East Asians, who claimed that seeing men from this ethnic group socialize with white women "gets you want to stop living ". In one online post, Rodger writes:
Asian men are full of ugly girls and disgusting white will never leave for you. You just think that you were born a loser in Asia, so you're angry with linking these fake photos. You even admit that you expect you to be half white. You will never be half white and you will never fulfill your dream to marry a white woman. I suggest you jump off the bridge.
In his manifesto, Rodger makes racist remarks about the other boys, outlining his plans:
How can a lowly and ugly boy get a white girl and not me? I'm beautiful, and I'm half white myself. I am descended from the British aristocracy. He was taken down from the slave.
On the day before the Day of Judgment, I will start the First Stage of my vengeance: Kill as many people as I can on Isla Vista by luring them into my apartment through some form of deceit.
The Manifesto specifically mentions "War on Women", as the second phase of his plan, to "make him hunger sex", in which he states:
The Second Phase will take place on the Day of Judgment itself, just before the climax massacre.... My War on Women.... I will attack girls who represent all the things I hate in the female sex: the hottest UCSB student.
Rodger stated in his manifesto that in his own ideal world he imagined that he would "quarantine all [women] in concentration camps." In these camps, the vast majority of the female population will intentionally starve to death. efficient and fit to kill them all... I will have a great tower built just for myself... and cheerfully watch them all die. "He also dreamed of" a pure world, [where] the human mind can thrive to a higher level than ever.The next generation will live their lives without having to worry about the barbarism of sex and women, which will allow them to expand their intelligence and advance mankind into a state of perfect civilization. "
She further says that she plans to kill her stepbrother and stepmother, but is not mentally prepared to kill her father. The New Statesman suggests that the manifesto may influence the "new generation of 'unintentional celibacy'". A Facebook post made by a suspect from Toronto 2018's Toronto attack, Alek Minassian, in which Rodger is directly mentioned, seems to confirm this prediction.
Private (Recruit) Minassian Infantry 00010, want to talk to Sgt 4chan, please. C23249161. The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all chads and stacys! All praise Elliot Rodger, Supreme Gentleman!
Reactions and discussions
Immediate reaction
California Governor Jerry Brown expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and said that he was "sad to learn from this unreasonable tragedy". University of California President Janet Napolitano said in a statement while at Laney College, "It's almost a kind of event that is impossible to prevent and is almost impossible to predict."
Video view controversy
Some news networks, including ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, and MSNBC, limited use of "Levy" video posted by Rodger for fear of copycat crime. Fox News Channel refuses to broadcast the video entirely, but displays five still photos at the request of network vice president Michael Clemente. A spokeswoman for ABC News, speaking for network president James Goldston, said, "James said that unless there is a special editorial reason to use it, we will make mistakes on the side of not using it.We would be very wise about the use of the video, aware that its use sustainably turn it into wallpaper. "
Warning service
Students and community members gather at Anisq'Oyo 'Park in Isla Vista at night May 24 for a candle light memorial to remember the victims. In addition, Isla Vista Church pastor, one of the locations targeted during the attack, made church members "available all weekend for students wishing to receive prayers or need to talk".
On May 26 , UCSB canceled classes for the following day and scheduled a warning service for the afternoon. It also arranges emergency counseling and housing services for refugee students. The next day, more than 20,000 people attended a funeral at Harder Stadium. For memorials, UCSB adviser Henry T. Yang and executive vice-chancellor Joel Michaelsen said in a written statement, "This is a period of mourning for all of us." The moving candlelight that our students hold on Saturday night begins the healing process On Tuesday we will remember and honor the victims of this terrible event and gather together as an academic community to reflect, talk to each other and think about the future. "
On May 23, 2015, at the first anniversary of the attack, hundreds of people gathered at UCSB to light candles to commemorate six dead. Mrs. George Chen is scheduled to speak at the event.
Control of weapons and mental health
The attack renewed calls for gun control and improvements in the US health care system, with Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal said,
A year and a half ago it seemed like we were on the verge of a potentially legislation that would stop the madness and end the madness that has killed too many young people, thousands, tens of thousands since Sandy Hook. I hope, I really hope this tragedy, this unimaginable and unspeakable tragedy, will give the impetus to bring back the steps that will keep the weapons away from the hands of dangerous men as disturbed or crazy as this young man.
Blumenthal also commented on the mental health debate,
And I would insist that we return the bills, maybe reconfigure them to the mental health center, which is the point where we can agree that we need more resources to make the country healthier and ensure that these horrible, , the crazy event was stopped. And Congress will be involved if we fail to act.
Senator from California Dianne Feinstein blamed the National Rifle Association's "strangulation" on arms laws for the attack and said "shame on us" in Congress for failing to do anything about it. Pennsylvania Congressman Timothy F. Murphy, a clinical psychologist, said improving bipartisan mental health would be a solution and urged Congress to pass it.
Richard Martinez, the victim's father Christopher Michaels-Martinez, gave a speech in which he placed the blame for attacks on "timid, irresponsible" politicians and the National Rifle Association. Martinez then urged the public to join him in "demanding immediate action" of congressmen regarding arms control. He also expressed his sympathy for Rodger's parents.
Doris A. Fuller, executive director of the Treatment Nursing Center, said that California law allows emergency psychiatric evaluation of potentially harmful individuals through provision, but such an action was never possible during Rodger's initial police investigation. He says,
Once again, we grieve over the death and destruction caused by a young man who sent a red flag to danger that failed to produce intervention in time to prevent tragedy. In this case, the red flag is so big the killer's parents have called the police... but the system failed.
Several California lawmakers called for an investigation into the deputy's contact with Rodger on April 30 . At the time of their visit, he had purchased at least two pistols, which had been put into the California rifle possession database under his name, as required by California's universal enrollment law. The deputies were unaware of this fact, as they did not examine weapons ownership databases across the state. They did not see a YouTube video that caused Rodger's parents to contact them. The sheriff's office defended the actions of deputies, as did other state law enforcement agencies. Some state lawmakers say they plan to introduce laws that they believe will help prevent such tragedies in the future. On September 30, 2014, after the incident, California legislators passed a law to allow a person to request a judge to have weapons confiscated from family members whom they felt were a danger to themselves or to others. The owner of the weapon will have the opportunity to oppose foreclosure. Armed rights groups, including the National Rifle Association, oppose the law, arguing that the rights of regular firearms owners might be threatened by misunderstanding. The law comes into force in 2016.
Misogyny
Rodger's attacks, videos, and manifestos sparked a conversation about wider issues of violence against women and hatred of women in society. Rodger pointed out in an online post and a YouTube video that he would punish a woman for refusing to have sex and that he would also punish a man who had access to have sex with a woman, since he did not. Rodger often visits online forums such as PUAHate and/r/ForeverAlone where he and others post misogynist statements about women. She subscribed to several artist YouTube channels. For these reasons, as well as Rodger's apparent attachment to sex with women, he is described as misogynistic.
He writes about what he feels after he bought his first gun and how to make him feel empowered over other men and women. "After I picked up the gun, I brought it back to my room and felt a new power.I am now armed. Who is the alpha male now, the whore? I think, about all the girls who humbled me in the past. "
Rodger wrote in his manifesto of his plan to attack the college house, which he summed up symbolizing the tormenting world, the beautiful woman whom he believed would reject him. He wrote, "I'm going to slaughter every spoiled, trapped, and blond prostitute I see in there, all the girls I really like, they've all turned me down and looked down on me as a lesser man." When Rodger was unable to gain access to the dormitory after "knocking strong" on the door of the clubhouse, he improvised, shooting at the female students nearby.
Mary Elizabeth Williams, a staff writer for Salon , objected to Rodger's media label as a "virgin assassin," saying that it reinforces the gender role with "the not so subtle... notion that one possible cause of male aggression is the lack of female sexual consent ". Amanda Hess, writing for Slate, argues that although Rodger kills more men than women, his motivation is misogynous because the reason he hates the man he attacks is that he thinks they stole the woman he feels right to. Writing for Reason , Cathy Young retaliated with "it looks like a good example of extending the concept of being meaningless - or turning it into an unjustifiable quasi-religious dogma" and noting Rodger also wrote many hate messages about others. man. National Post columnist Barbara Kay criticized the focus on female victims and pointed to the sex slaughter targeting men, such as the Srebrenica wars and school carnage by Boko Haram.
The comments and scope of misogyny as the root cause has led to criticism for the simplification and distortion of events, which include the murder of more men than women and Rodger's mental health problems. Chris Ferguson, a psychologist who writes in Time, argues that putting a misconception on a misogynist culture clarifies how Rodger is a man who is mentally disturbed (see above). Some authors use the #NotAllMen tag on Twitter to reveal the fact that not all men are misogynous and not all men commit murder. Others criticized the use of this hashtag, as it is derailed from a discussion of the issue of violence against women. Someone created a Twitter tag #YesAllWomen on May 24 to declare that all women experience hatred of women and sexism, though not all men are sexist.
Congress
The House of Representatives of the United States voted on June 10, 2014, to pass House Resolution 608, titled Condemning rampant and unnatural mass shootings that occurred in Isla Vista, California, on Friday May 23 , 2014. Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA) said that Congress needs to take more action to stop gun violence, saying, "We should not let the drumbeat fall silent.Congrations have the power to act and we must." Jackie Speier (D-CA) agrees with him, saying that "Americans, angry at our inability to solve this problem, are waiting for us to wake up and act."
