Killing Rampage near UC Santa Barbara (2 Viewers)

Media: Yes a shooting! if only it were someone famous. Oh he's the son of someone who directs movies? That's kind of famous. The problem is that's been done before... hmmmm school shootings are "in" did it take place at a school? No? But it was near a school? close enough

COLLEGE TOWN MASS MURDER
Santa Barbara is known as a college town and there was a mass murder. What issue do you have with that headline?
Because it was a shooting in SB not a college. The college town is used to excite the morons like you. There was a drive by shooting the other day in detroit you won't hear about that because well you know black. Oh and it happened in isle vista? Whatever its not like the news uses facts any more and you seem fine with that so please carry on.

Just stop with the race thing. This was much different than a drive by shooting in Detroit or other city.

 
Another incredibly sad day for UCSB. Brings back bad memories of knowing David Attias.
Yep. I was standing in a driveway right there as the Attias situation happened. Easily could have been me getting hit if it happened 2 minutes earlier that night. All the stuff I'm reading about this shooting just makes me sick beyond belief.

 
He should had just posted the video without killing anybody. Some girls are nuts enough to fall for a creepy guy on video like that one.

 
That video rant is possibly the most embarrassing and pathetic final speech ever recorded. What a self-indulgent, narcissistic, entitled little twerp. And a 140 page written manifesto sent out to local news stations as well? Unbelievable.

 
My girls were supposed to spend next weekend with their cousin in Thousand Oaks, and they were planning to go to the Santa Barbara Zoo. This absolutely chills me.
29 posts before it became about you.

You're slipping.
:confused: You did it on post 17.
:lol:

Noticed that, too.
I'm no where near being personally affected by this incident. As are 99% of the posters here posting comments like mine.

I feel for the people that actually are victims. Not sure how relatives of visitors to the Santa Barbar Zoo next weekend are victims here, but in "Tim logic" apparently they are.

Again, WTF? Dude, I never wrote that me or mine are victims. I just wrote it gave me chills knowing my kids will be close by and suppose it happened next week? I have no idea what you're like in real life but here you're being pompous and foolish. If you want to attack me for narcissism this isn't the place to do it. Seriously, grow up please.

As a moron, I do like to get excited.

I'm glad you're not affected. Neither are potential visitors to the Santa Barbara zoo, near as I can figure. But then, he didn't appear to say they were.

Guy said the proximity in time and space to something going on with his family gave him the chills. Not sure how that's making it any more about him than your relating it to your own sexual and automotive history makes it about you. :shrug:

I think imagining that those close to you, but for a subtle shift in circumstances, could have been in harm's way is a very human thing to do.

Tim wasn't joking.

 
Suspect "knocked aggressively" on door of Alpha Phi sorority house for "1-2 minutes". Fortunately, door was not opened, as from his videos/manifest he intended to much harm to that particular group of girls.

 
I browsed his manifesto.

I see he was beat up in IV, broke his leg, and no one helped him.

I see where seven police officers show up because his family is concerned and he's scared they will find his cache of weapons. They don't obviously.

Don't really want to read anymore of it.

Man, that's awful. I don't remember what street I was on. That whole day brings me sadness for private reasons and today has made me feel like ####.

Not trying to be funny here but he should have known that on a Friday night, all the pretty ladies would be out on the town and not at home. Then again, that was his normal Friday night so he must have figured everyone was like him. Had he not been crazy, he would have knocked on a Tuesday night or some other night when people tend to stay inside.

Again, glad hes gone. Just sad he took others with him.

 
What a fake ####### loser. I can't believe he couldn't get laid with his personality. :rolleyes:

 
First of all, there is nothing wrong with posting this as a college town shooting. Anybody that knows anything about Isla Vista knows it's exactly that - a college town. Nothing but dorms, fraternities, sororities, apartments and houses full of college kids. It borders UC Santa Barbara (most kids just walk or bike there), and a large percentage of Santa Barbara City College students live there. Scores of kids are out and about all the time walking in big groups.

As many of you know, my 2 daughters live there. One is a senior at UCSB, and she lives in a house with 4 other girls on Del Playa. May be the most perfect place one could go to college. She walks 30 feet and goes for a run on the beach every morning, and often studies on the beach. Absolutely loves it. Sure, there's fun to be had and it has that reputation, but you don't get into UCSB being a dummy. Very rigorous academically. Fortunately, she had a doctors appointment on Friday so came home on Thursday night. This disturbed killer passed by her house twice. Not sure where exactly he shot, or where he ran into the people on bikes, but I'm sure it was very close since he started on Embarcadero Del Norte.

My other daughter lived on a street he also passed in Isla Vista. Yesterday was her first day at a popular pizza restaurant. She was in the back filling out her hiring paperwork when bullets hit there storefront glass. She described a crazy scene, with helicopters and yellow tape everywhere. She drove home first thing this morning.

I've cried and hugged my daughters a lot today. I feel so badly for those killed or hurt, their families and friends, and the students/faculty that will have to process and deal with us going forward.

I've got a lot of strong opinions about gun control but don't want to derail the thread. I can't for the life of me see why a 22 year old should need 3 handguns, which I see no other need for than killing humans. I do believe there are differences in rifles for hunting, etc. The right to bear arms is the most outdated thinking in existence IMO. We aren't living on the set of Tombstone anymore.

This guy was supposedly getting a lot of treatment, had Asperger's syndrome, etc. People have mental issues - and probably not a lot that can be done for those who are adults and relatively high functioning. But we must be in tune to warning signs.

Obviously if the videos or manifesto type stuff are found that has to be acted upon immediately. Other than that, I see no easy answers.

Extremely sad day in our household.

 
Somebody posted one of his vids to /r/cringe (reddit) a few days ago.

Wow. But without anything to show, how do you go to the police to report you are scared of this guy and he's weird. Sooo many people fit that description and majority are just that way but nothing to fear.

I wish I could say there was no precedent for my comment, but I've been sadly been proven wrong in several high profile incidents.

No, the people at Bodybuilding.com were calling him a serial killer as well. I don't think I was being terribly apt with the comment.

While I'm horrified about what happened, I don't feel guilty. I was far from the only person who thought he was a potential "serial killer" or got a Patrick Bateman vibe from him and mentioned it. If anything, he had more interaction with the people at the bodybuilding.com forums than I ever had with the guy.

Without a great deal of foreknowledge about his actions, I don't see where I would be at fault here, and neither do you. If I did have that foreknowledge, I would do anything I could to prevent the shooting, but really I was just leaving a drive-by comment on a cringey video, not examining some kid's psyche.

I only wish each of us got to punch this kid in the face one time before he got killed.
Or punch him in the balls before he went on his rampage.

Oh and did I see where this kid was seeing TWO therapists?
Several therapists plus a social worker, and interviewed by the police several times. But none of that mattered when the NRA says he could get as many guns and as much ammo as he liked.
The NRA does not need to be brought up regarding this.

Like taking down Big Tabacco, people've got to work through local governments if we want to see any changes.

Not as sad as it could have been though. Glad to hear all are well in yours and if your daughters knew any of the deceased, may they be strong for those families.
First girl killed at the sorority played water polo at Westlake High School, where all 3 of my kids went. Freshman. I can't imagine what her parents are going through.

Um, damn it. I have no ideas what you could do at this time.
