His manifesto is absolutely packed with 'self entitlement' and I've only got to him hitting 5 years old.
What seems bizarre is that he probably would have had the entitlement he was looking for if he'd stayed in the UK. His looks were good enough to have made him a model and his air of superiority would have put an old Etonian to shame. Andrew Gold's song Lonely Boy could have been written just for him.

I haven't read the manifesto yet, though I am intrigued enough to think I will read it. I would take his memories of his childhood with a grain of salt. Given that he sounds very self-centred, entitled, angry, and so forth, I think his memories would be pretty well tainted by his recent obsessions and grievances.
If the end result wasn't so tragic it would actually be a good read. I'm only up to page 26 but it's clearly written unlike some 'manifestos' that turn out to be inane ramblings. By his own account he's led a quite enviable childhood yet he just doesn't see it as that. The amount of times he's mentioned words like "upscaled", "wealthy", "prestigious", "cool" and "supreme" really stand out.
Too many families are robbed these days at the hands of somebody striving to be considered "cool".

Well in addition to buying into toxic masculinity (only a real man if you get sex; women suck because they withhold sex; women are *advertiser censored* if they have sex but they should still be sleeping with me, etc), he also was apparently a racist: he couldn't BELIEVE that a black guy and his Mexican roommates had sex with women and he hadn't.
And it couldn't possibly have been that those dudes maybe had personality and good qualities - nope, it's because women are stupid $luts who would actually have sex with black and Mexican guys and not an obvious priZe like him!uke:

Aaand after taking a spin around the internets this morning, I see there are tons of commenters (men) saying they understand how this guy felt, it's feminism's fault that this happened, and that apparently if men are not given sex, or enough sex, this type of thing is inevitable. hoh:

Or more likely folks who have difficulty with social interaction can be diagnosed with Aspergers.
He appears to have hated men as well if these men were not white but could get women.
He hated EVERY man that blondes found attractive. He especially hated the jock/surfer boisterous type. So he actually hated more white males than non-white males.
Also, I have not heard the identities of his roommates yet. In his manifesto, he states that they were foreign students from Asia. However, I don't know if he got new roommates in the last few months or not.
I think that's him. ER says that he went to the doctor's office in Beverly Hills.
Ugh! Grandma knew it! So why did the parents think shipping their "very disturbed" young man off to Isla Vista was a good idea ... for anyone???
Also:
If the above is true then why was he able to go for days/weeks w/o leaving his apartment and no one checked-in on him; he quit school and no one was alerted/alarmed; he bought firearms and no one was aware; etc, etc, and, wouldn't his parents have been contacted by the "facility" as a result of his erratic behavior???
Ugh! Sounds like this was a ticking time bomb and those closest to him knew it!!! JMO

I just saw a short clip of him, haven't read the manifesto or watched his video yet. At first glance, he looks like and sounds like Canadian murderer and psycho Luka Magnotta. Gender identity issues, sexual issues, extreme narcissism, extreme online presence. I won't be surprised if this Elliot has many online usernames and websites dedicated to himself. AMO
It must be devastating for the victim's families to think it could have been prevented if the police only saw how he viewed the world.
He definitely had ticking time bomb written all over him but therein lies the problem i.e how do you begin to defuse the bomb without it looking like Minority Report?

Elliot at Hunger premiere and listening to Whitney
...The Hunger Games tells of a dystopian world where teens fight each other to the death in a televised spectacle.
$80 million to make and grossed nearly $700 million
other noteworthy credit was a 2009 documentary called Oh My God. The film, which asked people from various backgrounds and faiths about what God was to them, cost nearly $1.3 million to make but grossed only about $38,000.
Elliot was included in on on-screen credits. ‘I put my family through a lot of difficulties making this film because I was away a long time.’
Rodger is currently listed as working as an assistant director on an animated short called Amazon: Crossroads to Survival.

Another kook with a head full of bad wiring, no morality and a big hole in their soul.
All it needed was a Judge's hearing and an issued mental writ. I've served a tractor trailer truck load of them, but SOMEONE WITH KNOWLEDGE and EVIDENCE has to PRESENT it to the Judge......FIRST.
Where was the quack shrinks? the Dad?, the Stepmom?, the Mother? I can almost guarantee, the Police told the family we can go speak with him, but to have any "real" authority to DO ANYTHING YOU need to go see a Judge.
Were they all too busy to swear an affidavit, then have a Judge rule and the cops "seize the body of" ER? Obviously so.
A Mental Writ sure woulda coulda shoulda been a cheap investment in personal involvement in hind sight.

Haven't seen the film.
BBM - I agree but I don't feel comfortable putting much responsibility on LE when the family had years of close interaction with ER.
From what I've read so far, all the clues to ER's mental ill-health seem to have been clear to parents, grandparent and probably health care providers.
Yet ... a decision was made to ship off this "very disturbed" young man, who refused medication, into the midst of an enclave of beautiful, young, many blonde, surfer type, males and females - the exact profiles that ER detested/resented - not that it appears, from his writings, that anyone would have been safe around him with his skewed thoughts.

THIS is why people have doubts about the "official" account of this type of event. There are always witness accounts that eventually are ignored the next day or so, and then it's claimed there was only one suspect who committed suicide. Isn't that a simple way to close a case.
PLUS, the police were called because his family was concerned about his behavior, etc., and the cops did NOTHING, except speak with him. Then his family dropped it, too?
All so tragic. :facepalm:
Well, his parents could've had him hospitalized with a psych hold because he was homicidal.
