00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.400
Hmm.
2
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:08.720
Hi, Elliott Roger here, Well, this is my last video.
3
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:15.199
It all has to come to this. Tomorrow is the
4
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:23.480
day of retribution, the day in which I will have
5
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:30.719
my revenge against humanity, against all of you, and run
6
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:39.479
about you will finally see that I am, in truth,
7
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.479
the superior one, the true alpha male.
8
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:46.520
M hm.
9
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:56.119
Yes, after I've annihilated every single girl in the sorority house,
10
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.560
I'll take to the streets of a La Vista and
11
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.320
slam every single person I see there.
12
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.760
Multiple bullet shots and bullet holes and windows of the
13
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.000
Ivy Deli, which is on par doll. We'll update this
14
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:20.439
information as soon as it is available, but right now
15
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:22.920
law enforcement is too busy at the scene to let
16
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:23.920
us know what happened.
17
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:31.840
Friday, May twenty third, twenty fourteen, a night of horror
18
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.560
in the small West coast community of Ayla Vistay.
19
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.879
Another ambulas is sixty five five three part all Ivy Deli,
20
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:42.640
another gun property.
21
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:48.400
Using a knife, machetes and three semi automatic handguns, Elliott
22
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:50.439
Roger goes on a killing spree.
23
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.280
All of a sudden, we hear like five really loud
24
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:56.920
gun shots.
25
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.719
What we do know is one fatality so far, that
26
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.040
is on adele Plia Street. We're not sure if that
27
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.079
person suffered from gunshot wounds or from something else he shot.
28
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.000
And I felt like I just felt the wind like
29
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:09.879
passing right by my face.
30
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.319
And I was like, what the f Because as soon
31
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:13.840
as we got up there, we got into silver Grains
32
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:15.479
and a cop came by and like got everyone inside
33
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:16.199
the building saying there.
34
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:16.560
Was a shooter.
35
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.520
So I turned around and I started like walking really
36
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.639
fast the other way, and I like, I heard a gunshot.
37
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.400
So I was like, I had no idea that I
38
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:25.280
was a pistol at all.
39
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.120
In the end, six people are murdered, many are injured,
40
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.240
and Roger finally turns one of the guns on himself.
41
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.919
Roger had planned what he called his day of retribution
42
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:41.599
with great care over many months.
43
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.879
You girls have never been attracted to me. I don't
44
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.759
know why you girls aren't attracted to me, but I
45
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.199
will punish you all for it.
46
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.840
This video, filmed by Roger, was uploaded on the day
47
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:04.400
of his murderous rampage. It is the extraordinary final film
48
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.599
in a chilling series of videos he posted online.
49
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.400
It's an injustice, a crime, because I don't know what
50
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.080
you don't see in me. I'm the perfect guy, and
51
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:24.000
yet you throw yourselves at all these obnoxious men instead
52
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.759
of me, the supreme Gentleman.
53
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.199
As well as the videos, he wrote a long, detailed
54
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:36.400
and deeply disturbing document called My Twisted World, The Story
55
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.520
of Elliott Roger. It was emailed to a handful of people,
56
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.120
including his mother and father, at nine eighteen pm on
57
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:45.639
the day of the killings.
58
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:53.879
It begins with these lines, humanity. All of my suffering
59
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.719
on this world has meaned the hands of humanity, particularly women.
60
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.240
It has made me realize just how brutal and twisted
61
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:06.400
humanity is as a species.
62
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.840
How does a deeply troubled young man with a growing
63
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.280
hatred of the world turn from awkward teenager to ruthless killer.
64
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.519
These videos and the manifesto give us the unique opportunity
65
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.959
to see inside his mind and examine what went wrong.
66
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.680
It is the story of a mass murderer of the
67
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.800
digital age, told by the killer himself.
68
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.639
This is the story of how I, Elliot Roger, came
69
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.439
to be. This is the story of my entire life.
70
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.879
It is a dark story of sadness, anger and hatred.
71
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.160
In this magnificent story, I will disclose every single detail
72
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:54.600
about my life. This tragedy did not have to happen.
73
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.639
Dat Roger had a privileged life. He filmed this video
74
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.319
himself sitting in upper class on a flight into Los Angeles.
75
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.160
He was born in London in nineteen ninety one, the

00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.680
family moving to la

when he was six years old.
77
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:25.319
Both parents worked in the film industry. His father was
78
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.439
assistant director on The Hunger Games. They divorced when he
79
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.680
was seven. For him, this was a turning point.
80
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:39.759
I was absolutely shocked, outraged, and above all overwhelmed. This
81
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:41.800
was a huge life changing event.
82
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:47.160
Lots of kids have parents who separate, who were divorced,
83
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:51.560
to have acrimonious marriages, who formed new partnerships. All of
84
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.879
that is in the normal range. When people react to
85
00:05:55.959 --> 00:06:00.079
that as though this is somehow their unique problem, we
86
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.079
have to look at why do they think they're so special?
87
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:04.800
In that respect, he.
88
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:09.000
Saw himself as a very rejected person, as though he
89
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.720
were actually seeking out his peers, seeking out women, and
90
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.800
he was being pushed away. He was being rejected, But
91
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.399
in reality, when you talk to people who knew him,
92
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.920
he really seemed to be this other type of person
93
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.079
where he was not in fact actively seeking out others,
94
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.199
he was actually choosing to isolate himself.
95
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.480
But Elliot Rodgers's failure to engage with the world soon
96
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:33.319
went beyond the shyness of a child.
97
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.759
He didn't make eye contact with anyone. When we think
98
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.600
about what we each give each other as social cues
99
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:41.879
to let us know whether or not we want someone
100
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.639
to reach out to us or approach us, there's usually
101
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:49.040
social cues body language, eye contact that indicates to another
102
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:52.120
person that I see you, I would like for you
103
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.279
to say hello, or I want to say hello to you.
104
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.040
And he really didn't do that.
105
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:02.040
His former high school principle was a silent, withdrawn child.
106
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:07.279
What I saw was a really socially awkward young man,
107
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:12.120
very shy, very timid. Didn't really quite know what to
108
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.120
say or how to say. Wouldn't have even been able
109
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.680
to tell you what his voice sounded like at that time.
110
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.759
There was absolutely not one word that he ever expressed.
111
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:28.600
His introduction to sex was through pornography at a cyber cafe.
112
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.000
I saw an older teenager watching pornography. I saw in
113
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.399
detail a video of a man having sex with a
114
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.519
hot girl. Finding out about sex is one of the
115
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.759
things that truly destroyed my entire life. Sex. The word
116
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:48.519
fills me with hate.
117
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.720
Hey, Elliott Roger, here right now. I'm just taking a
118
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:01.480
walk through the park. It's a really nice secluded are Yeah.
119
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:05.800
I'm just contemplating about my life and how unfair it's
120
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:11.519
been lately. Well, it's been unfair for the last eight years,
121
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:14.319
ever since I hit puberty.
122
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:19.199
In making his videos, Roger returned several times to the
123
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.399
places that were special to him as a child.
124
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:29.839
And here I am at Serrania Park, the most significant
125
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:33.960
place of my childhood. My parents used to take me
126
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.360
here when I was six years old. I have some
127
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:41.200
very happy memories here. That's where my father taught me
128
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:56.240
how to swing. It still looks exactly the same. He's
129
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.080
all right, is he friendly?
130
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:00.240
But he's a little.
131
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.200
That's okay.
132
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.440
For much of his life, Elliott Roger lived in a
133
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:13.320
cyber world, his online conversations reflecting a growing hatred and anger.
134
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.240
In his final days and months, he was immersed in
135
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:23.320
online forums and obsessed with computer games.
136
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.840
Well, for everyone, playing games is a refuge from the
137
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:32.519
real world and the responsibilities that it carries. Most people
138
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:36.879
have no trouble separating fantasy from reality.
139
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:38.200
On the other hand.
140
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:41.440
If you immerse someone in a chat room or forum
141
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:45.480
in which everyone's sharing the same view and taking turns
142
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:49.639
making extremist statements, that will only make matters worse. If
143
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:53.720
you want to get worse at what you're angry about,
144
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:55.679
go join other angry people.
145
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.279
I'm just sitting in my car right now, enjoying the
146
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:03.600
view of the beat, and my view has been ruined
147
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:11.360
by this site. Right here in front of me, sitting
148
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.600
right there on that bench is a
young couple.
149
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.960
Young people together triggered intense anger in Roger. The couple
150
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.879
he filmed here may well have had a close call.
151
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.080
They're kissing right now. It's torture for me to watch,
152
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:32.559
but I have.
153
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:33.000
To do this.
154
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.440
I've seen the video that he made of that where
155
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:40.879
he's focusing on this couple on a bench, and to
156
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.440
be absolutely honest, when I saw that, I half expected
157
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.360
him to leave the camera on the dashboard and to
158
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.919
see him get out of the car and head out.
159
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.399
I mean, that couple were incredibly lucky.
160
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.279
I can only imagine the heavenly things they'll be doing
161
00:10:55.279 --> 00:11:00.440
together when they go back home tonight. It's not fair.
162
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:05.159
Life is not fair.
163
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:10.600
Towards the end of twenty twelve, Roger decides on revenge,
164
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.320
especially against young couples. He plans it with meticulous care.
165
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.080
Just before Christmas, he buys his first gun.
166
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.000
I decided to purchase the Glack thirty four semi automatic pistol,
167
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.320
an efficient and highly accurate weapon. I brought it back
168
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.600
to my room and felt a new sense of power.
169
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:51.120
Roger's willingness to conduct the Day of Retribution shows that
170
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:56.519
he's got an intractable personality. He stockpiles ammunition, he buys guns.
171
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:01.000
He never shows any flexibility. All he thinks about is
172
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.279
how am I going to commit this spree.
173
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:12.200
Friday, May twenty third, twenty fourteen, the day of Retribution arrives.
174
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:17.200
The killing will soon begin. His last video is about
175
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:18.600
to be released to the world.
176
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:30.519
You deserve to be annihilated, and I'll give that to you.
177
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.519
You never showed me any mercy, and so I will
178
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:38.480
show you none. I hate all of you. Humanity is
179
00:12:38.519 --> 00:13:01.720
a disgusting, wretched, depraved species. Hey Elliott Roger here, Oh
180
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:10.399
check it out. There's me, ah my fabulousness. Oh yeah.
181
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.840
When you get to a certain level of narcissistic behavior,
182
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.480
it could also enter into what we call a personality disorder.
183
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:21.559
This is where an individual's way of thinking and feeling
184
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:26.000
and interacting with the world is dominated by their narcissism.
185
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.519
I desire girls. I'm sexually attracted to girls.
186
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.399
He can't cope with being rejected.
187
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.559
The girls are not sexually attracted to me.
188
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:45.600
He blames the other people around him because he can't
189
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:47.000
possibly be at fault.
190
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:54.480
Here's a major problem with that major problem. That's a
191
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.919
problem that I intend to rectify.
192
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:04.120
So when you take the narcissism, you take the blaming
193
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:08.279
of the people, style of coping, and someone who feels
194
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.639
they fall in short of where they should be in life.
195
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:14.919
Those tend to be three of the strongest factors we
196
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:16.799
find in Spreae killings.
197
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:21.399
What comes through loud and clear here is his detachment.
198
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:33.360
His tone during this is a cold, instructional, calculated tone.
199
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:40.120
In all my magnificence and power, I will not let
200
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:47.480
this fly. It's an injustice that needs to be dealt with.
201
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:54.440
There's no emotion in his voice. It's cruel He's detached
202
00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:01.039
from it in his own emotions, and yet convey cruelty
203
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:04.759
as he describes his plot. And he does that in
204
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:13.559
the most distant, cold way.
205
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:16.399
Ever since I was seventeen, I often fantasized about becoming
206
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.080
powerful and inflicting suffering upon everyone who has wronged me
207
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:20.759
in the past.
208
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:28.000
Ila Vista on the Californian Coast is a lively student community.
209
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.159
That's why Elliott Roger went there, especially for the girls.
210
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:36.799
His main subject was English, though by spring twenty fourteen
211
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.559
he abandoned all learning. By then, his obsession was revenge
212
00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:42.799
and retribution.
213
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.279
I will arm myself with deadly weapons and wager war
214
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.039
against all women and the men they are attracted to,
215
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.600
and I will slaughter them like the animals they are.
216
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.879
Unwittingly, his two flatmates became part of his deadly plan.
217
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:09.039
They'd moved into his apartment in autumn twenty thirteen. James
218
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:14.120
Hong studied computer engineering, so did his close friend David Wang.
219
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:19.360
Both were twenty. They had no idea Elliott Roger was
220
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.840
planning their deaths.
221
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.080
The first people I would have to kill are my
222
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.960
two housemates to secure the entire apartment for myself as
223
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.320
my personal torture and killing chamber.
224
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:41.559
May twenty third, twenty fourteen, arrives. Elliot Roger unleashes the
225
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:46.039
horror he has been preparing his flatmates, James Hong and
226
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:56.440
David Wang, are stabbed repeatedly. For David's mother, the grief
227
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:57.320
is overwhelming.
228
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.399
When I heard that news, I was I cannot functioning.
229
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.160
I just shaking cold down to on the on the floor.
230
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:13.839
I just I cannot. I just it's nightmare.
231
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.279
His mother and father are left only with memories.
232
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:23.319
I love my son at the same time, we're like friends.
233
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:28.599
We talk about everything like he's my protector. It was
234
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:33.599
also my joy because he likes holding my hand, like
235
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.880
has his arms around my shoulder, and like laughing with me.
236
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:44.720
Whenever I will think what happened to David, I have
237
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.960
hard time to bread. I just don't want to know.
238
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:54.720
I just want to remember my Daddy's so joyful, peaceful.
239
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:01.079
But it's not over yet. There is a third person
240
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:06.759
in the apartment, a friend of Roger's flatmate's.
241
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:14.960
There was never a time, in working with him or
242
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.599
knowing him, that I ever felt like his inability to
243
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:26.240
interact socially, or inability to interact in the world outside of, say,
244
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.559
his family, would ever have led me to believe that
245
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.559
this kind of rage was building inside of him.
246
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:40.640
Never I see so many hot, beautiful blonde girls walking
247
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:45.519
with absolute stupid, obnoxious looking douchebags.
248
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.039
You know, sometimes when you look with twenty twenty, you go, ah,
249
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:51.839
now that makes sense, Now I get it. That is
250
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:57.599
not there with Elliott, not one iota.
251
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:02.200
Coming from a comfortable background meant and status were important.
252
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:07.119
He had a lot of life options. He was at college,
253
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.640
he had a moneyed background, and he had a certain
254
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:11.839
element of privilege.
255
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.960
In his narrow world, Roger believes he's the perfect catch
256
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:18.920
and that should guarantee him success with girls.
257
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:23.279
He considers himself incredibly superior. He talks all the way
258
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:25.640
through his manifesto that he is the one true gentleman.
259
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:29.359
He is the alpha male, He's wonderful and amazing, and
260
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:32.240
he seems to expect that women should just throw themselves
261
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:35.880
at him. So he's got this really insular, introverted view
262
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:38.119
that he is brilliant and perfect and all of the
263
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:42.000
fault seems to lie with the individuals outside of him.
264
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.920
In his videos, Elliot Roger often harks back to his childhood,
265
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:49.240
the only time he claims to experience any happiness.
266
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:54.000
I can hear some kids playing down there now, I
267
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:57.559
hear those sounds. Reminds me of the days of my
268
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:06.039
childhood were the best times of my life. I wish
269
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:07.119
I could be a kid again.
270
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:14.960
Very early in his manifesto, Elliott Roger identifies the feelings
271
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.960
that will trigger the tragedy.
272
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.799
Jealousy and envy. Those are two feelings that would dominate
273
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.160
my entire life and bring me immense pain.
274
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:28.839
Especially when he became an adolescent.
275
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:34.400
When you hit puberty, your life either becomes heaven on
276
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:39.759
Earth or living hell. It all depends on how many
277
00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:46.720
girls like you. No girls liked me, and I hate
278
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:47.480
them all for it.
279
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:54.079
His lack of success with girls was a constant theme
280
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.240
of his teenage years. When he moved to college at
281
00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:59.480
E La Vista, he hoped that would change.
282
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:04.240
I'm twenty two years old, still a virgin. I've never
283
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:05.279
even kissed a girl.
284
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.200
Constant disappointment turned to something much more sinister.
285
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:17.839
I will destroy all women because I can never have them.
286
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:20.039
I will make them suffer for rejecting me.
287
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:28.200
Spring twenty thirteen, he buys another handgun. This time it's
288
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:31.519
a sig sour P two two six, more expensive and
289
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:33.039
more powerful than the glock.
290
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:39.599
I was now armed. Who's the alpha male now,
bitches?
291
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:45.400
He becomes a regular on internet forums for involuntary celibates
292
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:50.279
known as incels. Here he appears to amplify and reinforce
293
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.640
his extreme views.
294
00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:58.599
These individuals get angry, they go to this environment. They
295
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:01.480
you know, they air their they see how angry they are,
296
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:03.799
and it's like an echo chamber gets louder and louder,
297
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.319
they get more extreme. So what may have started off
298
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:07.680
at the beginning is a bit of a grumble and
299
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:10.400
a complaint. After a period of time, it becomes a
300
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:12.880
full on hatred that these individuals are engaging in on
301
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:14.319
a daily basis.
302
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.559
Many of them share my hatred of women, though unlike me,
303
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:21.160
they would be too cowardly to act on it.
304
00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:28.359
On July twenty, twenty thirteen, just four days before his birthday,
305
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:32.359
Elliot Roger sets out determined to have sex. He wants
306
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:37.039
to lose his virginity before he turns twenty two.
307
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:41.839
I was giving the female gender one last chance to
308
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.519
provide me with the pleasures I deserved from them.
309
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.839
If he hadn't focused on the issue of not being
310
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:52.680
able to find a sexual partner or sexual rejection, he
311
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:55.960
would have found another way to characterize this. There would
312
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:58.000
have been something else that was unfulfilling.
313
00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:01.720
Instead, he gets so drunk he insults a group of
314
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:04.440
girls at a party and starts a fight, but gets
315
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:07.559
badly hurt. He manages to make it home, where one
316
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.039
of his neighbors spends three hours with him.
317
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:12.559
I would have to talk to him for five minutes
318
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:16.160
and he would reply with one sentence, and then I
319
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:18.200
talked to him for another five minutes and he'd give
320
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:19.279
out another sentence.
321
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:23.319
I actually gave them all one last chance to accept me,
322
00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:26.559
to give me a reason not to hate them, and
323
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:29.039
they devastatingly blew it back in my face.
324
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:34.680
He was so unbelievably emotional. I distinctly remember him saying.
325
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:37.319
I'm going to kill all of those mothers, and I'm
326
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:38.279
gonna kill myself.
327
00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:43.279
I gave the world too many chances. It was time
328
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:44.200
for retribution.
329
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:53.519
I don't understand you girls. It's like your sexual attraction
330
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:55.880
is flawed, it's perverted.
331
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:01.799
In April twenty fourteen, he uploads some of his video logues.
332
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:09.799
You should be attracted to guys like me, beautiful magnificent guys.
333
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:14.359
On Wednesday, April thirtieth, twenty fourteen, the police are called
334
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:18.359
to his apartment. The police report says they were alerted
335
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:21.200
by a mental health worker. Who had been contacted by
336
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:23.359
someone who said they were a friend of Elliott Roger.
337
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:26.960
This is just three weeks before he takes his revenge.
338
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:32.079
There is some evidence I think that shows the depth
339
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:36.039
of his psychopathology here. When the police had been to
340
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:38.359
his property. In the reports, they said that he was
341
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:42.759
a pleasant young man. He was a delightful individual, slightly
342
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:44.359
shy and socially awkward.
343
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.680
If they had demanded to search my room, that would
344
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:51.759
have ended everything. For a few horrible seconds, I thought
345
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:52.599
it was all over.
346
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:56.839
Now we know that psychopaths are very good. They're very
347
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.839
adept at portraying different personalities to different people.
348
00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:05.880
The police leave without finding the weapons or the manifesto
349
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:07.960
that reveals how he plans to use them.
350
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:12.119
On the day before the day of retribution, I will
351
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:17.680
start the first phase of my vengeance silently killing as
352
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:22.079
many people as I can around a La Vista by
353
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.799
luring them into my apartment through some form of trickery.
354
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:32.000
Roger takes down his video logs. They don't go up
355
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:35.720
again until the early hours of May twenty third, twenty fourteen.
356
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.440
After killing his two flatmates, Elliot Roger continues with his
357
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:50.880
planned day of retribution. A knife machetes and a hammer
358
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:57.480
are found at the scene. His flatmate's friend, George Chen
359
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:02.559
is also in the apartment nighteen studying computer science, and
360
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:05.359
he spends much of his spare time on charity work.
361
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:12.680
His father
remembers their last phone call, just nine days
362
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:13.960
before his son is murdered.
363
00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:18.319
So well, lads to think that people will hang up.
364
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:20.640
I remember I said, Okay, George, Daddy always love you.
365
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:24.839
So he also I love Marma, I love Daddy. So
366
00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:27.559
this time I say, Georgia, I love you very much.
367
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:31.319
Having George as our son is is the biggest gift
368
00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:32.359
that God give us.
369
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:33.400
It's George is.
370
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:34.240
Yeah.
371
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:37.720
We are very thankful to him to be our kid,
372
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:41.640
and I think that's the best thing when we think
373
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:44.920
about him.
374
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.519
At nine seventeen pm on May twenty third, twenty fourteen,
375
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:53.880
Elliott Roger uploads his final video. He also emails the
376
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:58.599
manifesto to a handful of people, including his parents and therapist.
377
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:02.640
When they read it, they alert the police, but already
378
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:03.559
it's too late.
379
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:08.440
You will finally see that I am, in truth, the
380
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:12.200
superior one, the true alpha male.
381
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:21.279
Minutes later, he leaves the house. The killing has only
382
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:22.039
just begun.
383
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.319
Hey, Elliott Roger. Here, I'm up in the hills in
384
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:44.519
Montecito right now. It's truly a beautiful day. But as
385
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:51.160
I've always said, a beautiful environment is the darkest hell
386
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.839
if you have to experience it all alone. And sadly,
387
00:27:57.759 --> 00:27:59.759
I've been alone for a very long time.
388
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:06.000
Soon after uploading this video, Elliott Roger initiates his day
389
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:10.960
of retribution. Three men, including his two flapmates, have been
390
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:17.920
stabbed and are lying dead in the apartment, but the
391
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:21.119
killing is not over yet. There is more to come.
392
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:27.400
He is about to go on the rampage.
393
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:32.839
I hate all of you. I can't wait to give
394
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:45.599
you exactly what you deserve, utter annihilation, not fire.
395
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:51.759
I'm live an Eilavista on Ellen Barcadero. Multiple people injured,
396
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.000
multiple bullet holes. We'll update this information as soon as
397
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:55.720
it is available.
398
00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:59.359
The shots were still coming through. He was still shooting
399
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:01.240
at us, shooting inside the store.
400
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:06.920
Roger's failure with women is at the heart of his
401
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:10.400
rage and frustration. They are his next target.
402
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:16.400
The second phase will represent my war on women. I
403
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:19.640
will punish all females for the crime of depriving me
404
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:24.160
of sex. I will attack the very girls who represent
405
00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:26.680
everything I hate in the female gender.
406
00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:35.319
He has carefully researched his next victims, an exclusive club
407
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:39.319
for women students, a sorority house named using the Greek
408
00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:40.880
letters Alpha Fi.
409
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:49.440
I am going to enter the hardest sorority house of UCSB,
410
00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:59.920
and I will slaughter every single spoiled, stuck up, blonde
411
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.160
sluck I see inside there.
412
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:08.160
The sorority with the most beautiful girls is Alpha Fi Sorority.
413
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:12.559
I know exactly where their house is. I have sat
414
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:15.279
outside it in my car to stalk them many times.
415
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:20.279
One of the common features of mass murder that's clearly
416
00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:27.720
true of Elliott Rogers is that they collect injustices. Elliot
417
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:31.440
goes on at length about his sexual frustration, his inability
418
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:35.240
to have a sexual relationship. He makes it the centerpiece
419
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:40.279
of his quest, so the theme becomes payback and revenge
420
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:44.240
for this grudge about perceived injustices.
421
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.680
One of the themes that seems to emerge is this
422
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:53.079
sort of paranoid or persecutory thinking, thinking that the world.
423
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:54.640
Is out to get him. You know, he would make
424
00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:57.119
statements like how dare you not accepting? Or how dare
425
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:02.440
you not recognize my magnificence. He saw the world through
426
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:06.920
this hostile lens, where even benign behavior from other people
427
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:09.000
was seen as having hostile and.
428
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:13.839
Head At about nine twenty five PM, with three semi
429
00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:17.799
automatic weapons and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, Elliott Roger
430
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:23.079
drives the short distance to the sorority building. Police believe
431
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:25.759
he hammers on the door of the Alpha Pi sorority house,
432
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.039
but no one answers. He gets back into the car
433
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:34.240
and spots a new target. Three women walking across the street.
434
00:31:39.279
--> 00:31:43.720
Veronica Weiss, a nineteen year old undergraduate, and Katie Cooper,
435
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:47.160
a twenty two year old art history student, are killed instantly.
436
00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:54.839
Bianca de Coke is hit five times but survives.
437
00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:58.279
Jobs for an area del Nortay.
438
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:02.920
He can still achieve the mission of killing the beautiful
439
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:06.359
people who reject him, even if he can't get through
440
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.920
the door to kill the group he originally said he would.
441
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:13.279
He doesn't care about his promise to history. He cares
442
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:30.920
about expressing his rage and ending his pain. Revenge is
443
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:36.000
the most common theme among the mass killers. I think
444
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:38.680
Elliot Rogers chose Friday night because that's when lots of
445
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:43.640
young people would be out having a good time. Unlike him.
446
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:47.440
A few blocks away, Ivy deli is busy with weekend customers.
447
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:52.119
At nine thirty pm, Rogers arrives outside and takes aim
448
00:32:52.200 --> 00:33:00.759
from the car. Customers, still with goods in their hands,
449
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:05.359
dive for cover as bullets fly over their heads. Dylan
450
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:07.039
Fontillas is one of them.
451
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:09.279
Within about a minute, that's when I had walked in.
452
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:12.920
First two shots rang through instantly. That actually broke the glass,
453
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:15.160
and that's when we are so scrambling for our life.
454
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:15.759
Pretty much.
455
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:20.440
One girl and Dylan are inches from death as a
456
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:27.440
bullet whistles past them, shattering the glass door of the refrigerator.
457
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:31.480
I didn't so much like hear the gun at first,
458
00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:33.799
but I heard the glass breaking, just the shatter of
459
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:34.720
the glass.
460
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:39.559
Just off to the right of the CCTV stands Chris Martinez,
461
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:42.039
a twenty year old who planned to be a lawyer.
462
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:45.039
He is cut down in a hail of bullets.
463
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:47.480
I had just turned I saw him fall, and I
464
00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:48.880
kind of like tucked my hand out of my head
465
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:51.359
and turned down and duck behind the counter.
466
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:54.839
As Chris slumps to the floor, the young woman who
467
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:57.359
was almost hit reaches out to help him.
468
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:00.920
We sat there and watched the skin had bleed to death.
469
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:04.720
He was no less than two feet away from me.
470
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:09.239
Still in the car. Roger's shooting spree is far from over.
471
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:12.000
He casually drove away, which was very surprising.
472
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:14.480
You didn't hear any You didn't hear any any tire
473
00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:15.840
screeching or anything like that.
474
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:18.679
It was actually a very calm.
475
00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:20.199
I heard that he was a fairly well known customer there,
476
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:22.800
so he knows that that's a place to go if
477
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:24.039
he was looking for a lot of people.
478
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:33.360
People might wonder about the emotions of the killer. There's
479
00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:42.599
not a lot of emotion other than anger. There's not
480
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:46.719
much fulfillment for them. The expression of the anger doesn't
481
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:50.280
really make them feel relief or feel better about it.
482
00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:55.280
Black And one way that I care now.
483
00:34:56.119 --> 00:35:00.599
What they recognize is there's a sense of finality that
484
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:05.280
this pain of the anger, the pain of isolation, is
485
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:08.280
going to end, because soon they will.
486
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:12.079
Be dead an god god fire.
487
00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:16.519
In a few short, brutal minutes, Roger has shot and
488
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:20.199
killed three young people, but there is more carnage to come.
489
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:23.400
He is about to use his car as a weapon.
490
00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:43.559
If I can't have you, girls, I will destroy you.
491
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:49.280
You denied me a happy life, and in turn, I
492
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:55.079
will deny all of you life, m It's only fair.
493
00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:02.320
Elliott Roger has now murdered six students. Three young men
494
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:06.159
stabbed to death in his own apartment, two young women
495
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:10.519
shot dead outside the Alpha Fi sorority house, another critically injured.
496
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:13.760
One young man is shot and killed in the Delhi.
497
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:20.800
Roger drives the streets with three guns, firing at random.
498
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:27.639
The police scramble to stop him.
499
00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:28.800
Turning area Del Norte and Pard we're getting further.
500
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:34.480
I'll take to the streets of Ayla Vista and slay
501
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:41.599
every single person I see there.
502
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:46.800
There's panic as Roger opens fire on students outside the
503
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:47.760
seven eleven store.
504
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:58.000
I hate all of you. Humanity is a disgusting, wretched,
505
00:36:58.320 --> 00:36:59.800
depraved species.
506
00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:03.599
The moment is filmed on a smartphone from an
apartment
507
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:06.679
as people died for cover in a pizza restaurant.
508
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:19.039
I will then make my way to Dell Plia, splattering
509
00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:28.159
as many of my enemies as I can.
510
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:22.840
And.
511
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:32.079
Student Sierra Schwartz has a terrifying encounter.
512
00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:38.960
He like lifted up like a little black pistol and
513
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:41.079
like I just thought it was like an airsoft gun
514
00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:43.840
or something. So I was like, I was like heay,
515
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:47.400
Like what up? And I turned around and I started
516
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:54.679
walking the other way, and then like he shot, I
517
00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:57.239
just felt the wind like pass right by my face,
518
00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:57.599
and I.
519
00:37:57.559 --> 00:37:58.159
Was like what the.
520
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:08.480
I will continue down tow PLI destroying everything and every one.
521
00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:17.239
Part of the center with a headery the fire and delcer.
522
00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:20.880
As police find the injured and dead. They called desperately
523
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:23.960
for medics, but the ambulances are being held back until
524
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:24.880
the shooting is over.
525
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:41.679
Point three black and one way going into North medic here.
526
00:38:41.800 --> 00:38:56.519
Now another got job, not fire, not fire.
527
00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:01.039
The police fire back, hitting Roger in the hip through
528
00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:03.119
the car door, but he accelerates away.
529
00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:08.599
When I see the first police car come to their rescue,
530
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:12.079
I will drive away as fast as I can, shooting
531
00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:15.360
and ramming anyone in my path until I find a
532
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.960
suitable place to finally end my life.
533
00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:20.639
I jumped on the sidewalk and I see a man
534
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:25.639
na bmw is body inside the windshield, glass broken everywhere,
535
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:29.400
and now he's under feet that way, at least his
536
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:30.519
body carried on with the car.
537
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:31.639
It was he went.
538
00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:32.760
He went down a few blocks.
539
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:39.199
Roger doesn't get far. Barely twelve minutes after he begins shooting.
540
00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:41.519
He crashes into parked cars.
541
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:49.199
And then when I'm out there.
542
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:55.800
To end my life, I will shoot myself in the
543
00:39:55.840 --> 00:40:00.840
head with two of my handguns simultaneously. I will not
544
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:03.119
suffer being captured and sent to prison.
545
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:09.760
I partner the.
546
00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:12.800
Well.
547
00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:23.960
The killing is over. Six young lives brutally ended, thirteen
548
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:43.440
others wounded. The following morning, the police discover the grim
549
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:45.119
scene at Elliott Rodgers apartment.
550
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:53.239
The three male victims were apparently stabbed repeatedly with sharp objects,
551
00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:57.480
and it was a It was a pretty horrific crime scene.
552
00:41:03.480 --> 00:41:06.800
Why do things have to be this way? I'm sure
553
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:09.679
that is the question everyone will be asking after the
554
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:11.639
day of retribution is over.
555
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:19.159
Within hours, his final video and the manifesto are being
556
00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:22.119
watched and read around the world as people tried to
557
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:25.559
comprehend what he has done.
558
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:32.400
And he lived like a twenty second walk from my house.
559
00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:33.480
And I've never seen the kid.
560
00:41:33.320 --> 00:41:33.760
In my life.
561
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:36.639
He went to the same school, we did, all the
562
00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:39.519
same layces as. But I you know, snoother face in
563
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:39.960
the crowd.
564
00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:44.679
Why didn't he tell us? Why didn't he reach out
565
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:48.639
and trust one person to say, wow, I'd really like
566
00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:52.639
to meet a girl. But he never articulated that. He
567
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:56.760
never indicated in any way that he was troubled by
568
00:41:56.800 --> 00:41:59.280
it or he was angry about it.
569
00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:04.880
Along with his horrifying YouTube posts, Rogers written in his.
570
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:07.400
One and forty one page manifesto.
571
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:11.079
Across social networks and mainstream media, the soul searching begins
572
00:42:11.679 --> 00:42:13.760
from the passionate to the tasteless, he.
573
00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:15.960
Said, that's where the murders would begin.
574
00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:19.960
First with his others in with trickery, knocking them out
575
00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:24.000
with the ham Everyone has an opinion. I literally don't
576
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:27.840
know how you can't see it as misogynistic, how you
577
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:30.039
could see it's anything other than misogyny.
578
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:33.960
So my view on Elliot Roger is that he's a hypocritical, idiot,
579
00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:36.000
narcissistic psychopath.
580
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:39.039
A few postings on the chat rooms Elliott Roger visited
581
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:43.440
hail him as a hero, but they are quickly taken down.
582
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:47.519
Other sites disappear but come back.
583
00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:53.440
Perhaps Elliott's attempts to
develop these YouTube videos and communicate
584
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:56.920
with others was really his way of making those types
585
00:42:56.960 --> 00:43:01.519
of interactions controllable, perhaps even predict all on his terms.
586
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:06.199
There's no question in my mind that in a society
587
00:43:06.280 --> 00:43:11.079
that shared data, that had a good protocol for law
588
00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:15.280
enforcement to make use of that data and that had
589
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:21.159
adequate mental health resources, such crimes could be prevented.
590
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:25.960
He really sees this as a historical document of some significance.
591
00:43:26.440 --> 00:43:29.119
I think that plays into the disordered thinking that he
592
00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:32.840
had and the narcissistic elements about his own importance in
593
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:33.360
the world.
594
00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:40.320
Elliott's parents, Chen and Peter Roger issue a public statement.
595
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:45.639
We are crying in pain for the victims and their families.
596
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:48.599
It breaks our hearts on a level that we didn't
597
00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:51.800
think possible. The feeling of knowing that it was our
598
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:55.159
son's actions that caused the tragedy can only be described
599
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:56.079
as hell on earth.
600
00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:06.039
Far from destroying humanity, as Elliot, Roger intended, his savage
601
00:44:06.039 --> 00:44:08.920
act serves to bring the people of Ila Vista together.
602
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:13.920
During times like this, it's very easy to blame people
603
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:18.199
and organizations, and it's very easy to lay blame on
604
00:44:18.400 --> 00:44:21.760
those who we feel are responsible in one way or another.
605
00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:29.800
But if we can bring ourselves to propagate hope and
606
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:36.440
kindness and peace and understanding, then maybe we can move
607
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:42.159
forward from this event and shape a more positive community
608
00:44:42.199 --> 00:44:42.599
for us.
609
00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:50.760
The anguished voices of the other victims, the families begin
610
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:51.800
to be heard.
611
00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:03.880
Why did Chris die? Chris died because of craven, irresponsible
612
00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:09.920
politicians and the NRA. They talk about gun rights, What
613
00:45:10.039 --> 00:45:15.639
about Chris's right to live? When will this insanity stop?
614
00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:20.880
When will enough people say stop this madness?
615
00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:22.920
We don't have to live like this.
616
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:25.519
Too many have died.
617
00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:31.840
We should say to ourselves, not one more, thank you.
618
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:32.360
That's it.
619
00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:37.599
We're heartbroken, we are end of the world. We won't David,
620
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:41.440
James and Judge they're the last one. We don't want
621
00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:42.400
this happen again.
622
00:45:44.760 --> 00:45:46.440
We have been working so hard that we try to
623
00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:49.920
build a better future for our children, and and when
624
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:55.000
I lost George, all these things seems meaningless. So I
625
00:45:55.119 --> 00:45:57.199
from the bottom of the height, I've tried to see
626
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:00.480
what we can do to prevent this from happening.
627
00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:05.360
And wake up America, because this can come to your
628
00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:09.159
town and it can affect you, and what I lost
629
00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:15.079
is irreplaceable. It would they would do anything anything to
630
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:18.400
have my son back, but you know that's not gonna happen.
631
00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:21.280
So I've got to make something good come out of this,
632
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:25.679
and I will do everything within my power to try
633
00:46:25.679 --> 00:46:26.400
to make it stop.
634
00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:34.599
Now.
