Supreme Jackass: The Crimes of Elliot Rodger, Part 1

On May 23rd, 2014, the city of Isla Vista California was shocked by
a vicious murder spree—six people dead, more than a dozen others
injured. The killer was a 22 year old man named Elliot Rodger,
whose on-paper resume would never have hinted at anything like
this. Born into a well-to-do family with Hollywood connections,
blessed with good looks and intelligence and parents who adored
him—allowed into exclusive events like movie premieres and fancy
industry parties, given every opportunity you could possibly hope
for. Dude could have been sailing through life. But for whatever
reason, he’d been plagued since childhood with a hyperactive sense
of entitlement, a raging narcissism that sent him into a rage at
any perceived slight. As he got older, his rage began to focus on
one singular obsession: Beautiful women, and the fact that he
couldn’t seem to get them to like him. Never mind the fact that he
spoke to them like a Roman emperor barking orders at a servant, in
his mind hot women should be flocking to him, offering him their
bodies as tribute to his magnificence. He was, after all, a
“Supreme Gentleman.” And when they showed interest in other guys
instead, it was war. Now, plenty of us have experienced sexual
rejection. Most of us, in fact. But for Elliot, it became the sole
focus of his life, fueling a rage that would consume him, and take
innocent people with him. Join us for Part 1 of this frustrating
story.
