My Brief Thoughts on Elliot Rodgers

Well, I've been busy and haven't investigated Elliot Rodgers, but today I read some things that already confirmed my suspicions about him. Apparently, in a divorce document between his parents, it was stated at the age of seven that he was a special needs child. A high functioning autistic (also heard voices).

One video of someone trying to friend Elliot stated that Elliot said he wanted to have friends but would not try to be friendly, going off to be by himself as if he was in deep in thought. Maybe to the voice? Elliot himself thought he was special. His writings make him out to be, among other things, a narcissistic, spoiled brat ... crying when he didn't get his way. He obviously was a complex individual.

After reading some of his literate manuscript, I can say that he was deeply disturbed by sex to the point of being obsessed in wanting to do away with it for everyone because he said it was evil. However, even saying that, he said that he wanted to have sex (with blondes) but blamed girls because he was a virgin. Yet, this fairly attractive young man made no attempt to be friendly with girls in order to even have a relationship ... blaming his shyness.

Sounds to be he was crossing swords with himself. Saying one thing but meaning another. It's as if one hand pulled to what he wanted while the other hand pushed it away ... or was it the voice?
He was so good at fooling people that no one suspected what seethed underneath ... including all the psychiatrists he had seen. One friend said he didn't even recognize Elliot in the video he made, his voice was not his normal voice.

I wonder if he could have fooled an empath who also heard voices?

I'm reminded of what my dad said: it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for.
