Last week, a college student opened fire on a sorority house full of its member-students, killing and wounding some; before that happened, he killed three roommates. The reason: he believed he is not their style of man. The man took a lot of things too seriously.
This goes out to all male college students who attend school around the country. When you think something happens to you, just move on. I am a strong advocate of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution of 1787 (right to bear arms), and even though I don't own a gun (but wants one for personal protection), this man didn't do things the right way.
You're supposed to only shoot if the opposition perpetrates. In other words, if he/she attacks you, then you have a right to defend yourself. This man was on the offensive and as a result, it turns into a widespread debate about guns. It is also an issue regarding feminism, and if you followed twitter over the past weekend, the '#YesAllWomen' was a trending topic. I am an equal opportunity guy, but always remember, the man is physically superior (not sexist, but fact). Some don't get it, even though it is a crazy generation nowadays.
Did this man became so obsessed that it was a bi-product of his mental illness? Or should he, as indicated in the second paragraph, just move on. Real men when are in this situation, just move on. Also it doesn't help to reach out to God, by either picking up a Bible or attending a church service and talk to people who might help. Some campuses (I don't think UCSB has one) have a Chaplain who can guide you spiritually through a situation so it won't distract your studies. One of these things can prevent this from happening, and is the last hope you should take once planning between you and the campus (or off-campus) mental health specialist falls by the wayside.
Sad that about half a dozen lives were taken by this sadistic creature. Rot in hell Elliot Rodgers.
