My Twisted World the Story of Elliot Rodger

Book excerpt: A manifesto that lays out grievances in painstaking detail, titled: “My Twisted World,” describes stories from a childhood onward that seemed to have laid the foundation for anger towards women, “alpha males,” and society in general.Describing plans for a “Day of Retribution,” on which: “All of those beautiful girls I've desired so much in my life, but can never have because they despise and loathe me, I will destroy.”Rodger, 22, left six people dead in a knife and gun rampage in the Californian University of Isla Vista in May 2014, before apparently shooting himself in the head after a firefight with police.His killing spree began after he posted a chilling video on YouTube titled “Elliot Rodgers Retribution,” in which he threatened to "slaughter" women who had rebuffed him.
