These things dont just pop up. I am sorry but that is the truth. I do applaud them for trying but it was to late before they even really noticed how bad it was. There is something wrong now with how we parent our kids..... NEVER would my mother EVER allowed me to get this bad and she was a single mother..... To think they had no fault in this is absurd.

The parents actually tried more than once to alert the police about their son. The police interviewed Elliot Rodger and found him to be a very polite young man. Nothing to be worried about at all. The parents were concerned enough to try to get their son help with a therapist. He went to doctors. He was in counseling. Aside from locking the boy the basement, there isn't much else they could do. Take an ad out in the Santa Barbara paper saying "Watch out for this person. He's dangerous."

This is pretty much the same thing that happened with the Tsarnaev brothers. Russia warned us, the authorities talked to the "boys" and found them no threat.

Going back further, when a teen escaped Jeffrey Dahmer and went to the police, the police talked with Jeffrey Dahmer and found him to be a very nice, very polite, very ordinary gay man who had a spat with a young lover. That teen went on to become an appetizer.

The police in Santa Barbara mishandled the whole thing which is why there is an internal investigation as to their negligence. Once they knew that Rodger had his main problem with women, particularly blonde women, they should have had him questioned by a pretty blonde female officer. Whatever bizarre behavior he exhibited to women that made them reject him would have been readily apparent to a female officer when it was easy to hide from a male officer.

The police can't lock people up just on a family member's say so.

This is what comes of allowing the progressives to determine that mentally ill people aren't a threat, and can't be locked up until they do something horrible. We medicate the shit out of these loons because they are uncontrollable...people are desperately trying to make them ok to be free...but they AREN'T okay to be free. They NEED to be locked up. They are batshit crazy, and we shouldn't have to suffer insane people.

If this was my kid and the cops refused to deal with him, I would do it myself. I wouldn't have been on another continent, taking pictures of women's asses and harranguing the police to do my job. If I had to quit my job in order to provide my kid with an escort, that's what I would have done, until I could get him committed.

Because that's a part of parenting.

PS...psychiatrists are worthless. They are the problem.

That might get YOU arrested for stalking!

More importantly, what was happening at school, to make him get into that state of mind. Both Virginia Tech and Columbine had inept school authorities that failed to report issues to the police, though even when they did it was just put in a file and ignored.

Really? You blame everyone but the Parents??????The two people most apt to be the problem.

They went to the school authorities. They went to the cops. They sent VIDEOS of his rants to the police! So, short of shooting him dead, what the hell else were they supposed to do?!?!

Have him committed, and stay with him to make sure he didn't harm anybody. They knew the kid was dangerous. Better than anybody, apparently. Yet they elected to tell other people to deal, while they did their own thing.

Unlikely. At any rate, at least you know you've done everything you can do.

Lock the lunatics up.

I'm fairly certain the dad is certifiable in this case as well. The nut doesn't fall too far from the tree.

How in the hell did he get a gun in California? Law abiding sane people have trouble getting one there

[koshergrl]

He did it legally.

More evidence that gun control doesn't do a thing to protect people.

 

[Katzndogz]

He was never in any kind of involuntary lock up. He passed all background checks.

Proof that gun control is about control of people not guns

He was an adult. They COULDN'T have him committed. Just stop, you're embarrassing yourself!

You stop, I'm not embarassing myself at all. I spent two years supervising dangerous mentally ill men including violent, predatory and opportunistic sex offenders. I was responsible for creating their life plans,for hiring and training their direct care staff, and for compiling the evidence and submitting testimony to court regarding their readiness and safety r not they should continue in state custody, or be released. I'm not the least bit embarassed.

When one is a dangerous ward of the court, one certainly does have an individual life plan. When your life consists of court-mandated estrogen shots, regular panel reviews, and a requirement that you not be out of arms reach of your handlers (2 to 1 ratio) when out in the community, and never in areas that children frequent, and 15 minute bed checks at night, you definitely get a life plan.

So yes, one does become responsible for another person's life. I was responsible for keeping the community and my charges safe. Life plans were a means of accountability to the courts...and also a means of allowing dangerous men to get the most out of their very restrictive lifestyles.

What we have are uber-liberal parents who didn't want to parent, who had a psychotic kid, and who undoubtedly are staunch defenders of "integration" of psychotics into the regular population.

If you're a crappy indulgent parent who drugs your kid, you have a good chance of raising a monster.

They're lucky he didn't kill them, but chances are they were nowhere in the vicinity. I looked at his fb page. The guy never had anybody with him.

he lived in a group home setting

 

[Politico]

The liberals news media is considering the three stabbed to death as having been shot.

Seriously. The whole thread is based on BS facts lol.

Fuck you

no you didnt.

 

[koshergrl]

Ah, my stalker is here. Talk about certifiable.

Hello, stalker. So how long were you on probation...or are you still?

What holds did your keepers use on you when you wigged out, to keep the community safe?

I'm fond of this one:

Go right ahead.....I mean its not like the parents were so clueless about their son that he had to make YouTube videos to get their attentions.

At 22 years old, their adult son was no longer living at home. He had an apartment that he shared with two other young men who felt that their roommate was a bit off and never went to anyone to sound the alarm.

If everyone who thought his roommate weird called the police, I suspect the country's phone system would crash!

The video announcing the impending tragedy wasn't sent to Rodger's parents, but to his therapist who elected not to alert the police, but sent it to the parents 2-1/2 hours away in Los Angeles. This is exactly what happened in the John Holmes case. Same thing. The therapist knew in plenty of time to stop the rampage, but, citing confidentiality issues elected to do nothing.

Considering the restrictions therapists operate under, I question if he, legally, COULD have done anything.

Therapists have the unique power of being able to recommend involuntary commitment for a person they deem a threat. We have taken that power from the family and placed it in the hands of loony third parties, and the result is, we have a lot more mass killings.
