I'm checking it out too.

Hell, there's one guy he sounds so much like I checked to see if he'd posted since last night.

There seems to be no escape from this shit.

Getting them to see that it is bigotry has been impossible, unless one of the haters actually breaks down and posts a threat against a female poster.

Almost entirely male.

Clearly this is a learned mental state.

Where does the blame lie? So many different areas...

like every other time a guy has a bad time. At work, at home, dating.

Wrap my head around " anti-pickup artist" evil has many names but this is stunningly horrible.

Love, Peace and Shelter. Lmsp

... a reporter from The Daily Nexus, which I recognized as the name of the USCB campus newspaper. WaPo says he was going to target sororities (i.e. he was specifically going to target girls) because of his personal sense of sexual frustration. One girl greeted him as she walked by and as she walked away she felt a bullet pass her head.

I just want to weep and throw things.

I'm sick about this.

Basically there's no one in charge except for the Sheriff and IV Foot Patrol; it's not part of the actual campus and never was, so it's jammed with a high density of 18 to 22 year olds away from mommy and daddy. A couple of decades ago some ass in a national magazine rated Isla Vista as a super-party town for Halloween and ever since then ... well, let's just say the Sheriff and Police call in their mutual-aid cohorts from the counties next to us, use road blocks against the swell of non-resident traffic, get the UC chancellor to assist them in sending pre-Halloween flyers everywhere saying "Stay Away, Alcohol laws will be enforced"... and it's still a mess.

UC Santa Barbara itself is a fantastic place for an education; it's lousy with Nobel Laureates in Chemistry and Physics, has an exceptional Religious Studies department with an endowed chair in Tibetan Buddhist Studies -- great place. But I would not want to send my 18-year old there as a freshman to live in IV without supervision.

I'm heartsick about this too.

I just feel sick about this. I have read that he was a student at Santa Barbara City College, not UCSB. I lived in Isla Vista for 3 years but back then it was a small quiet place. How I wish that it had been incorporated into the campus way back then, but greed displaced common sense.

Message says it "violated Youtube's Terms of Service"

Here's an interesting article about them from Jezebel. http://jezebel.com/5906648/the-angry-underground-world-of-failed-pickup-artists

The transcripts are hideous enough.

I have a high tolerance for creepy. I have, to borrow a phrase, "seen some shit."

This guy's video makes my skin crawl into a corner and hide.

It's basically watching an empty husk of meat pretend to be human. I couldn't make it more than a minute in.

...but when men can't find a mate, they get angry? Is it some sort of sense of entitlement?

And I have seen plenty of angry women and depressed men.

I know angry women too, but I don't know any women who get angry because a man rejected them. Sad, depressed, but not violently angry. Men, on the other hand, fill up our newspapers and crime blotters violently attacking women who reject them.

According to a Forbes article, he was in therapy, and his parents made him pull his videos off of youtube, but he said he was going to repost them. They also reported him to the police (and showed them the videos)...so why was nothing done about this? Comments from the sites he visited showed other members calling him out on his attitude.

I saw a few posters who were winding up to blame his stepmother somehow. It's definitely a woman's fault, somehow.

We all know they oppress boys for the lulz.

Coincidence? No. There is one - as much as the American Taliban try to convince women that it's all in their minds and not real. This gruesome act is one result of it.

He wanted his act to spark the "revolution" against the evil female hegemony.
