ABC News, The Virgin Killer. Let's watch this one.
00:00:05.180
This is The Killer Virgin, delusional case of Elliot Rodgers.
00:00:09.680
A lot of you fucking angry loser virgins here are...
00:00:12.280
...upset at his lack of companionship with women that he decided to kill them all instead.
00:00:18.880
And although his day of retribution didn't quite go to plan,
00:00:21.360
he would leave behind grieving families and a long, digital trail of clues to his destruction.
00:00:26.180
My name is Adrian, and welcome back to Coffee House Crime.
00:00:29.740
at the case of Elliot Rodger, who is also known as the Killer Virgin, King of the Incels, or as he
00:00:34.140
likes to call himself, the Supreme Gentleman. It's been a long time that I've wanted to cover this
00:00:37.900
case. In this video today, we'll be looking at Elliot's history, tying his video logs to his
00:00:41.540
stories, and looking at what eventually led him down his darkest path. I do also have a small
00:00:45.720
announcement to share with you all at the end of this video, but first, I have a story to tell.
00:00:49.420
So without further ado, pull up a seat, grab a coffee, and sit back. This is the case of Elliot Rodger.
00:00:59.740
I mean, legitimately, this guy's burning in hell.
00:01:05.820
The story of Elliot Rodger first begins east of the Atlantic Ocean in London, England.
00:01:10.420
Elliot was born on the 24th of July, 1991. His father, Peter Rodger, was a British filmmaker
00:01:15.080
and photographer, and his mother, Lee Chin, was a nurse who worked on film sets.
00:01:19.040
Damn, look what happened to some mixed-race people.
00:01:21.720
It's through their encounters at work that the two first found love,
00:01:24.460
before conceiving Elliot two years later. His parents also had a daughter. Elliot's
00:01:29.080
younger sister was called Georgia. When Elliot was the age of five, the family moved to Los Angeles,
00:01:33.720
California in 1996, and this was a move to strengthen his father's career in filmmaking.
00:01:39.160
After settling into their new home, Elliot was enrolled into Topanga Elementary School.
00:01:42.860
By all standards, he was a well-behaved kid, even making a few friends in his first year.
00:01:46.500
His childhood seemingly bright and positive, but it was just after his seventh birthday that his
00:01:50.380
first struggle in life appeared. His mother and father would unfortunately divorce, and this would
00:01:54.220
leave both him and Georgia to split their time between the two on weekdays and weekends.
00:01:57.500
Elliot was already described as a shy and quiet person. He was happy, but didn't have much
00:02:02.520
confidence, and he would always try to fit in with the cool kids. A sudden change in his home
00:02:06.540
life, though, would propel his insecurities. Two months after his seventh birthday, his father
00:02:10.600
Peter would introduce Elliot to a new woman, and her name was Sumaya Akabun. She moved into Elliot's
00:02:15.600
father's household shortly after, and before he knew it, Elliot realised that she was now his new
00:02:19.700
stepmother. The two would argue often, and with Elliot not accepting any discipline from an
00:02:25.540
outsider, this would be a recurring problem in the years to come. Elliot lived a relatively
00:02:29.400
wealthy life growing up. He went on several holidays abroad, had access to general and
00:02:36.040
mental health care, and pretty much got whatever he wanted. But despite the money and gadgets that
00:02:40.200
Elliot owned, his friendship circle slowly dwindled into his teenage years, and he eventually found
00:02:44.280
himself becoming the target of frequent bullying. He still had friends, but not many. The situation
00:02:49.820
would grow more complicated at home too. At the age of 13, Elliot's father and stepmother had a
00:02:53.760
son. Elliot's new stepbrother was called Jaz. In his mid-teens, he started a personal YouTube
00:03:00.200
That's actually funny how many similarities we have. Both half-Asian, part white, grew
00:03:09.140
up with a bunch of white kids, trying to fit in with the cool kids.
00:03:11.880
Which is where he often complained about his loneliness and reminisced about his childhood.
00:03:15.080
Elliot Roger here, and here I am at Sarania Park.
00:03:19.560
And then you start a YouTube channel to go and try to be cool.
00:03:28.800
It was around this time that Elliot began his path of depression and loneliness.
00:03:32.180
Unfortunately, the bullying at school didn't stop for Elliot either,
00:03:34.860
even at one point the teasing resorting in Elliot having his head taped to the desk by fellow classmates.
00:03:39.500
It was through negative encounters like this that caused Elliot to move from school to school quite often,
00:03:43.260
and with that, he never made any friends locally.
00:03:46.900
Elliot also started to see a psychiatrist at the age of 16.
00:03:49.560
He was prescribed Raspiridone, an antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
00:03:58.720
He openly admitted in his blogs, though, that he refused to take this medication.
00:04:03.300
After turning 18, Elliot became increasingly isolated.
00:04:13.000
By now, he only had a handful of online friends.
00:04:15.020
He often told his parents that he was unable to make friends in real life, and no girls ever
00:04:19.760
seemed interested in talking to him. Elliot decided that he wanted to improve his life
00:04:23.720
moving forward, and to do this he had to try two things. The first one was to learn how to drive,
00:04:28.080
thinking that this would impress women, and the second would be to try and dress better,
00:04:31.640
therefore making him seem more approachable. He desperately wanted to fit into the world and make
00:04:35.320
friends, so along with his new car, he changed his hairstyle and brought a bunch of new clothes.
00:04:40.080
It was noted by his classmates, however, that although he did buy a new car and new clothes,
00:04:43.360
he never actually tried to speak to anyone or make any friends. Instead, he would sit in his
00:04:46.940
car on lunch breaks, and expect others to make the first move. His evenings and weekends still
00:04:51.160
continued to be spent alone at home as well. He would spend his time either playing World of
00:04:54.480
Warcraft or Halo with his three friends, James, Phillip, and Addison. And more or less, at the
00:04:58.340
age of 18, Elite recognised that he'd spent most of his latter teenage years angry at the world,
00:05:03.120
upset that he didn't fit in with friendship groups, despite never trying to.
00:05:08.320
And even more importantly to him, he started to become enraged that he had never slept with
00:05:15.620
Elliot's perspective on other people had shifted to become more toxic, too.
00:05:18.780
He openly admitted in his journal that whenever he saw a couple together holding hands or kissing,
00:05:24.200
At one point, this resorted in Elliot throwing hot coffee over a couple that he saw kissing in a Starbucks car park.
00:05:28.620
And while that action seemed hostile and completely out of order, it was only going to get worse.
00:05:36.160
In the year of 2011, Elliot was 19, and on Saturday the 4th of June, he moved to Isla Vista.
00:05:42.060
a community on the coast of Santa Barbara, California.
00:05:45.680
He moved there to attend Santa Barbara City College,
00:05:48.180
joining a private residence with two other men.
00:05:51.880
It was almost instantaneous that Elliot's bitterness and loneliness
00:05:56.420
Within a week, he was frustrated with his housemates,
00:05:58.340
and by the end of the month, they had moved out.
00:06:00.380
The situation with Elliot's next pair of housemates, though, was even worse,
00:06:03.280
and coupled with Elliot's racism, he would argue with the two daily.
00:06:07.560
Almost getting into physical fights on a couple occasions.
00:06:12.060
He would often get so angry at seeing couples that it would become a normality for him to run back to his room, sulking and crying.
00:06:22.180
It was this year that he dropped out of all of his classes altogether, not being able to stand the sight of others falling in love.
00:06:27.920
Elliot also spiralled into the trap of gambling with lottery tickets.
00:06:30.720
He believed that getting rich by winning the lottery would give him all of the female attention that he desired.
00:06:34.420
And so, in the first week of February 2012, he spent over 100...
00:06:37.880
lazy ass motherfucker trying to hit the lottery degenerate dollars on lottery tickets
00:06:42.440
not surprisingly he didn't win the next week though he felt more confident and so he spent
00:06:46.440
500 on lottery tickets what a idiot no dice but maybe third time's the charm week three he spent
00:06:52.920
700 this too though ended in a loss he had nothing to show for the 1 300 he spent gambling
00:07:00.040
and even worse he didn't accept defeat he felt like he deserved it that he was cheated away
00:07:04.920
from his money. Elliot dipped into one of the worst bouts of depression in his life shortly after this.
00:07:10.600
As spring break flared up in I La Vista, he spent most of his time in his room,
00:07:13.880
refusing to try and socialize. Angry, sad, and alone. And for the times that he did
00:07:18.920
leave his house, he'd walk by himself, ranting to his video camera about his life.
00:07:27.080
Hey, Elliot Roger here. Right now I'm just taking a walk through the park,
00:07:31.960
in this really nice secluded area. I'm just contemplating about my life and how unfair
00:07:39.120
it's been lately. Ever since I started desiring girls, but they never desired me back. Life
00:07:45.440
has been a living hell since then. Right now it's spring break. Everyone else my age is
00:07:50.340
out having fun with their friends and their girlfriends. Here I am, taking lonely walks
00:07:56.280
through a park. In April 2012, Elliot's long-term childhood friend James also decided that enough
00:08:02.800
was enough. He found Elliot too radical, too negative, and so with that said and done, he
00:08:07.800
called the friendship off. It was at this point that Elliot now considered himself entirely alone,
00:08:12.800
friendless in this cold world. Late one September night, Elliot drank an entire bottle of wine,
00:08:17.660
or at least he tried to. He ended up spilling an entire glass all over his laptop, completely
00:08:21.980
destroying it. This meant that the next day he had to go to Best Buy to buy himself a brand new
00:08:27.200
one. While he was there he had to wait a few hours for the store to prepare his order, and so during
00:08:31.120
that time he walked across the road to a local firing range. This would be a turning moment for
00:08:35.020
Elliot. He had previous thoughts of acting out the Day of Retribution, a time where Elliot would
00:08:40.120
claim vengeance against a woman for denying him of his sex life. And it was here in this firing
00:08:43.980
range after he took his first few shots that he asked himself, what am I doing here? How could
00:08:48.520
things have led to this what is internal question at first well chat even the people ironically
00:08:53.780
saying he's just like me for real this should be a warning for everybody um and this goes without
00:08:59.880
saying this is really obvious stuff but i see the attitude of a lot of people in the chat this is a
00:09:04.160
perfect example of what not to be and what happens if you if you stew in your rage instead of like
00:09:08.800
using your motivation and using that anger to better yourself this guy was spending his money
00:09:12.900
on lottery tickets and getting drunk and get like retarded shit this is the exact opposite of what
00:09:18.960
you should be doing and anybody idolizing this person is a fucking retard you know this deep down
00:09:24.800
sounded hesitant by the end of the day he'd made his mind up he had come to the conclusion that
00:09:30.220
humans are just brutal animals and if he cannot thrive among them he would have to destroy them
00:09:34.800
all in his manifesto after this day he wrote i didn't want things to turn out this way i wanted
00:09:40.640
a happy, healthy life of love and sex. But if I'm unable to have such a life, then I'll have no
00:09:45.380
choice but to exact revenge on the society that denied it to me. Elliot purchased a Glock 34
00:09:50.720
automatic pistol in December that year. A Glock? Wow, who buys a Glock? And again during the
00:09:55.900
following spring break, he purchased another firearm, a Sig Sauer P226. On the 20th of July
00:10:02.560
2013, Elliot attended a party, where he again tried to interact with girls. He'd been working
00:10:07.080
out in his bedroom for the previous two weeks, and he thought that this would increase his chances.
00:10:13.640
Because he was spending all his time on 4chan forums and probably on livestreams just like
00:10:18.680
Autistically on his computer only talking to himself like yeah, he worked out and stuff like that
00:10:22.820
But look, he's a good-looking guy and he was just too retarded and to 4chan and to read
00:10:28.260
To see reality this guy was a fucking retard check drunk state. He thanks for explaining the obvious retard
00:10:33.480
Yeah, I know I have to I have to because I I see it. I see it and
00:10:38.520
and i hopefully me saying this can prevent somebody from doing some shit like this for
00:10:42.980
real because they say that i'm the leader of these fucking retarded incels people say that
00:10:47.320
all the time so me saying this right now like has the capability to prevent somebody from going down
00:10:52.100
this path obviously not doing some shit like this because but in stewing in your rage and just being
00:10:58.240
autistically alone and all that retard shit hopefully like somebody here is watching this
00:11:04.420
right now with wine spilled over your laptop he was shoving tendies in your mouth like typing
00:11:09.340
your manifesto and bro bro come back to the good side all right i'll be your i'll be your i'll be
00:11:19.000
your autistic online friend if you need it come and watch my stream every single day i don't want
00:11:23.540
anybody to be like this and genuinely even since i was streaming on bot tube i i saw it i saw it
00:11:30.140
there's there's a couple of those kids similar who genuinely idolize him watching my stream right
00:11:36.120
now where other members of the party were hanging out this escalated into an argument where he then
00:11:41.340
tried to push girls off that very same ledge he failed and instead he was pushed off the ledge
00:11:46.220
by the men who had intervened this resulted in Elliot being beaten up and eventually he would
00:11:50.900
need surgery to repair his broken left leg this according to Elliot in his manifesto is what
00:11:56.360
actually made him start meticulously planning his day of retribution, but with a broken leg
00:12:00.440
and some preparations to make, it would take some time. Fast forward and it is now the early months
00:12:05.340
of 2014. In those early months, which would be the final months before the planned attack,
00:12:10.460
Elliot spent most of his days outside of his room. He went on hikes in the mountains of Montecito,
00:12:15.700
took long strolls along the beach, wandered to the parks around Santa Barbara, and watched the
00:12:20.100
sunset in many car parks as he contemplated his own existence.
00:12:27.480
I'm just sitting in my car right now, after watching that beautiful sunset descend beyond
00:12:34.320
that hill up there, enjoying a nice vanilla latte.
00:12:45.340
Drinking a fucking Starbucks vanilla latte, bro!
00:12:48.040
how sad and unfair my life has been all because girls it's also proof of how important it is to
00:12:56.000
have a masculine presence in your life and having a network of people who can keep your head straight
00:13:01.380
he alienated all of his friends because he was so angry and that was a big result of his downfall
00:13:06.340
like how loneliness loneliness can affect you you need to have other men around you no homo
00:13:41.560
this dude is zesty can't deny that i'm civilized intelligent sophisticated okay no cap k you're
00:13:50.240
banned i'm banning these what do you say l sluts deserve death he wasn't wrong okay you're banned
00:13:57.560
forever olex got a day you're gone i have a sense of style and yet you girls don't see it it's it's
00:14:04.080
not fair i deserve them more i don't understand you girls it's like your sexual attraction
00:14:11.380
yeah you don't get it bro so don't fucking kill them idiot just learn it's flawed it's perverted
00:14:16.720
this world it's so twisted but anyway he wants he would it's pretty like i've made videos just
00:14:25.640
like this too um what was the last video they're all fucking deleted um i don't see if it's still
00:14:32.380
up on some it's up on the creativity kit that's where you can see all my other videos but i'm
00:14:37.100
just real quickly yeah this video one take what up patreon i've been in the same exact situation
00:14:42.260
before isn't that funny all right uh stuff on my mind literally gonna one take this and just try to
00:14:49.600
get it on camera because i don't yeah i don't fucking care about anything anymore yo i don't
00:14:56.780
want to make this like a therapy session but i mean that is kind of what yeah my commentaries
00:15:02.500
are like it's just the fuck I don't care about anything I was listening to Tim Dillon's podcast
00:15:08.440
yesterday and he's talking about there's a certain nihilism with Gen Z because we've seen so many
00:15:15.060
systems so look what happens like when you go down the wrong path I was probably in a similar
00:15:19.520
situation lonely in my car talking to a camera but since I made that video I'm now a millionaire
00:15:26.320
and i have multiple girls that want to have children with me it's like if you you could
00:15:32.520
improve your life and this guy had all the right circumstances he's rich he knows how to talk
00:15:36.500
pretty eloquent has a youtube channel has a camera they're like you know not ugly a little zesty but
00:15:44.820
if he had some friends around him and he had the right guidance he could have completely
00:15:47.580
he could have been influential and that's why i think these 4chan autistic people resonate with
00:15:53.820
him, but choose the red pill or the blue pill. It's so twisted. But anywhere he went, he
00:16:02.560
would see couples together, and this outraged Elliot. During this time, he would record
00:16:06.320
himself in and around his car. He would upload these videos to YouTube, but no one would
00:16:10.220
pay attention to them. Hey, Elliot Roger here. I'm just sitting in my car right now, enjoying
00:16:16.860
the view of the beach, and my view has been ruined by this sight right here in front of
00:16:23.580
me sitting right there on that bench is a young couple. I was enjoying such a nice view until
00:16:29.580
they came and sat down and started kissing. This is the reason why life isn't fair. Why can't I
00:16:35.380
experience something like that? I have to show everyone why I hate the world because no girl
00:16:40.880
would do this with me. I hate them. I hate them so much. I've even I've even said things like this
00:16:49.600
on camera i've said i hate women before and what does that do like that isn't i don't hate women
00:16:56.460
anymore but i've people in the chat can resonate with that like when you get red pilled you go
00:17:01.380
through the red pill rage stage everybody who's been red pilled has been through that stage
00:17:06.820
where they hate the when they realize the reality of what women are attracted to
00:17:10.800
seeing other happy relationships that loneliness that feeling like people don't understand you
00:17:17.960
especially if you're in a liberal place, me, New York, him, California.
00:17:20.720
If you're in that environment, then you feel ostracized
00:17:25.960
and you get a rage about the reality of the world.
00:17:38.960
I'm just speaking to that fucking lonely guy that's watching this right now.
00:17:43.580
life is not fair yeah faggot everybody knows that you grew up rich in california you have the
00:17:52.460
objectively you have an easier life than 99 of the population
00:17:55.680
only one week had passed since that video had been uploaded to youtube when police came knocking
00:18:02.560
on elliot's door someone had watched the video and they were suspicious that elliot was unstable
00:18:06.880
they called a health agency which in response called the police and they in response went to
00:18:11.280
him. Police interrogated Elliot outside of his bedroom door, questioning him on if he had any
00:18:15.580
suicidal thoughts. He played the situation down though and said that he was doing just fine.
00:18:19.660
It was a very close call, because if police did go into Elliot's bedroom, they not only would
00:18:23.080
have found his pistols and a plethora of ammunition, but they'd have also found his manifesto too.
00:18:28.500
Unfortunately though, they never entered Elliot's bedroom. Elliot's radicalised thoughts were at
00:18:33.300
this stage solidified, and the severity of his emotions were only getting worse.
00:18:41.280
Hey, Elliot Roger here. I'm up in the hills in Montecito right now, and it's truly a beautiful day.
00:18:49.600
But, as I've always said, a beautiful environment...
00:18:56.540
...is the darkest hell, if you have to experience it all alone.
00:19:01.840
And sadly, I've been alone for a very long time, and my problem is girls.
00:19:07.540
I don't know why you girls are so repulsed by me.
00:19:35.420
and that's just such an injustice because i'm so magnificent i deserve girls much more than all
00:19:42.200
those slob entitlement just like a hoe bro he could have been saved by fresh and fit after hours
00:19:47.760
i see at my college who are somehow able to walk around with beautiful girls i mean look at me
00:19:53.940
i'm gorgeous but you girls don't see it i should be the one with the girls
00:20:13.960
what are you doing talking to a camera in the mountains alone
00:20:25.720
uh someone in the chat said this is why therapists are important you know i don't think so i think if
00:20:30.740
he had faggotry in his chat like this if he had some type of community he could have avoided it
00:20:36.380
i don't i don't think you need therapy for this problem at all i don't think he was mentally ill
00:20:42.560
i think he was completely sane just didn't have a masculine presence in his life his parents
00:20:47.980
weren't paying attention his dad was probably busy with his work and he didn't have a brother
00:20:51.860
he just had a sister. It's extremely important to have men that can call you a faggot.
00:20:57.480
Leot's plans for the Day of Retribution were complicated and violent. The day was actually
00:21:01.460
spread across two. He planned to first drive to his father's house where he would kill his
00:21:05.680
stepmother and his younger brother, Jazz. He was always frustrated with Samaya.
00:21:09.440
Oh Chad, I listen to Death Grips too. Death Grips is my favorite band.
00:21:11.780
And so for him, it would be sweet revenge. And as for Jazz, he didn't want his younger
00:21:15.880
brother surpassing him as a man, so he too had to go. He would only do this if his father was
00:21:20.700
out of town for the week though, he didn't want to harm Peter. Next, he would drive back to Ila Vista
00:21:26.360
with a family SUV, and take the lives of his housemates so he could use the apartment as a
00:21:30.280
place to lure strangers in before beating and killing them. George Chen and Cheng Yuan Hong
00:21:34.880
were currently living with Roger in their shared school apartment. He would then on day two target
00:21:39.120
the Alpha Phi sorority, a sorority he deemed as the most beautiful dorm on campus filled with hot
00:21:43.600
blonde girls. After he was done with them, he would then switch to his SUV and head over to
00:21:48.180
cell player, before running over as many victims as possible, and then turning the gun on himself.
00:21:54.680
Elliot Rodger saw himself as a god, deserving of much more than he had on planet Earth.
00:22:18.180
His preparations for the day of retribution wouldn't quite go to plan, though.
00:22:26.780
His plans for day one to execute his stepbrother and stepmother would require his father to be out of town,
00:22:31.060
and while he originally did have plans to do so, that was cancelled last minute.
00:22:34.880
The consequence to this is that Peter actually and unknowingly saved his wife's and his son's lives just by being home.
00:22:40.440
As a result, Elliot ditched his plans for the SUV too.
00:22:42.500
His BMW would have to do, but before he could execute the rest of his plans, he'd have to make...
00:22:47.500
Why would you say that word? Before he could execute the-
00:22:50.720
Two, his BMW would have to do, but before he could execute the-
00:22:56.360
...the rest of his plans, he'd have to make and upload one final video to YouTube.
00:23:13.060
The day in which I will have my revenge against humanity.
00:23:29.040
I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me,
00:24:16.760
I've waited a long time for this. I can't wait to give you exactly what you deserve.
00:24:26.360
On the 23rd of May, 2014, Elliot began his rampage. He started by stabbing his two housemates,
00:24:31.720
George Chen and Cheng Yang Hong, to death. Their friend Weihan Wang was visiting at the time,
00:24:36.280
and he too was killed, the three men receiving 142 stab wounds between each other.
00:24:41.080
at 9 17 p.m elliot then uploaded his final video to youtube titling it elliot rogers retribution
00:24:48.660
one minute later he then sent his 137 page manifesto to 34 people this included both
00:24:55.060
his parents other family members his therapist his former school teachers and his childhood
00:24:59.420
see chat he had a therapist this is what i'm talking about someone in the chat said this
00:25:03.000
is why therapy is necessary this is exactly why it fails people you would have thought that he
00:25:09.180
didn't have anybody to talk to he had therapists he needed four close friends that could beat him
00:25:15.320
up and call him a faggot that's therapy for men seriously if someone called him a chink retard
00:25:22.360
faggot and then went to the gym together i think he would have been better in a couple months
00:25:27.780
am i wrong or not because the therapy didn't work friends his therapist contacted his mother within
00:25:35.240
five minutes of the email being sent. And very quickly, she reacted by calling his father Peter,
00:25:43.720
and then the police. Both Peter and Lee Chin raced from their homes in Los Angeles towards
00:25:48.220
Silla Vista, but by then, it was too late. Elliot was already in motion. He headed to the Alpha Phi
00:25:54.540
sorority with intention of shooting everyone inside, but when his knocking on their front
00:25:58.220
door went unanswered, he retreated back from the property towards the street. Instead, Elliot shot
00:26:03.400
three Delta Delta Delta sorority women who were nearby, killing Cooper and Veronica Weiss,
00:26:07.840
and wounding Bianca de Kock. He then drove further into town to Pardale Road, before he proceeded on
00:26:13.160
foot and fired several rounds into Ila Vista Deli Mart, killing a student named Christopher
00:26:17.360
Michael Martinez. After killing Christopher, Elliot drove away and continued his rampage,
00:26:22.400
shooting at several pedestrians and drive-by shootings, while striking others with his BMW.
00:26:26.600
As he backed onto himself, Elliot got into a gunfight with three responding officers near
00:26:30.180
little Akon punk. He suffered a gunshot wound to the left hip before speeding away. He was closely
00:26:36.420
pursued as he fled. Still adamant to cause as much carnage as possible, he crashed into a cyclist.
00:26:41.720
In his rage though, he crashed his BMW, and there was no way to flee. Elliot then fatally shot
00:26:46.740
himself in the head, finally bringing an end to his rampage. Police officers would find Elliot
00:26:56.300
Rogers dead behind his steering wheel only seconds later, and with the cyclist next to him,
00:27:00.380
they would think that both at first were suspects. Both of them would be handcuffed, but a few minutes
00:27:04.660
later, the cyclist would be cleared of any suspicion. Police would soon discover three
00:27:08.500
bodies that night, and then another three the next morning. Christopher Martinez, a graduating
00:27:13.780
student at UCSB, was pronounced dead in the Isla Vista Delhi. He was described as a really great
00:27:18.520
kid that had a bright future ahead. Katie Cooper and Veronica Weiss were both killed outside Alpha
00:27:24.080
Fai Sorority House. Veronica was a sweet and friendly young woman who loved sports as much
00:27:29.020
as she did her friends. Katie Cooper was known as an unforgettable smart girl. She was studying
00:27:34.640
art history and archaeology. The following morning, police would find the bodies of Weihan Wang,
00:27:39.560
Chang Yunhong, and George Chen at 6598 Savile Road No. 7. Weihan Wang was academically gifted
00:27:45.440
in computer programming, and he was looking forward to visiting Yellowstone National...
00:28:06.120
a volunteer at an elderly neighbor's organization
00:28:07.940
when he wasn't seeing friends or tutoring other classmates.
00:28:13.340
a candlelit memorial was held in honor of the victims.
00:28:16.100
This was followed by memorial service at UCSB's Harder Stadium, which held over 20,000 people in attendance.
00:28:23.280
Elliot Rodger's father Peter would then go on to state television to share with the world his anger, despair, and confliction.
00:28:28.940
He would then go on to admit that, sometimes, due to the pain Elliot caused, that he wished his son had never been born.
00:28:34.000
Despite the widespread damnation to his actions, Elliot Rodger would soon become known as the King of the Incels, a portmanteau of involuntary celibate.
00:28:41.200
Incels are an online subculture of people who...
00:28:43.120
And now, chat, who's the king of the incels now?
00:28:45.700
...find themselves as unable to find a romantic or sexual partner, despite desiring one.
00:28:50.140
It is there that Elliot found sympathy and forgiveness for his struggles to both romantically and socially find his place on this earth.
00:28:55.840
But Elliot is better defined as a misogynist, a racist, and a narcissist.
00:29:01.520
He had a strong prejudice against women, clearly spoke against Asian and black people, and described himself to be a...
00:29:11.280
but there were other factors at play here too he was a man severely struggling with mental illness
00:29:16.720
something that he'd been struggling with for a very long time i don't know man i don't think
00:29:21.920
he was mentally ill and he was also very lonely not just seeking relationships but friendship too
00:29:28.100
with a split family and moving around so often it's easy to see that both his chances to find
00:29:32.760
companionship and overcome his mental i mean mentally ill i of course he was sick in the head
00:29:37.260
Of course, he was, he, but I don't know if he was born mentally ill.
00:29:46.240
It's thought of Oaking to wonder if this massacre could have been avoided entirely
00:29:48.900
if he had received the correct response in his earlier years.
00:29:56.020
But it does underpin the severe consequences in not addressing mental hardships early on in childhood.
00:30:00.740
And the real tragedy here, the lives of six others lost.
00:30:04.080
All who had no play or part to Elliot's suffering or rage.
00:30:07.260
Yeah, I thought he killed a bunch of girls. He killed four dudes? Gay.
00:30:13.240
Any it's 137-page manifesto is available online, by the way. It's kind of made this case pretty easy to-
00:30:17.820
And also, rest in peace, genuinely. Rest in peace to everybody that was involved in that.
00:30:22.600
...research. I'll leave the link if you are interested in it below, but a word of warning, it's pretty exhausting to read.
00:30:28.220
Thank you again for watching another case by Coffeehouse Crime, and as said, just a small announcement to make.
00:30:32.600
I wanted to take a moment to thank you so, so much for supporting me and this channel.
00:30:36.400
When I started Coffeehouse Crime back in January,
