I thought a new one happened over in England or something, since this one is only notable to the victims, Miscers (who are aware, and called the guy a serial killer before he even said he was going to do anything. The guy who told him to "get out of Auschwitz mode" was great, since it can be taken in two ways: stop being so racist/eat a sandwich.) and Hunger Games movie fans. Otherwise completely unremarkable. The very next day another spree kill happened on the east coast (and probably another ~dozen since according to the stats), but that guy and his victims were probably too black and too poor to qualify as newsworthy.
From his likes on his Youtube account, it did appear there was an avenue to reduce his forever-aloneless open to him: he appeared to be an anime and Pokemon fan. Instead of being angry at other people for having friends, he could have tried working his way into irl animu cliques or something. Of course I'm of two minds on that, and am kind of relieved overall he died a virgin: why would I ever want some innocent person to get into a relationship with a murderer? This was the same psycho who listened the entire time his sister was copulating in the next room. Even if he had sex, he'd have probably killed the poor girl after the inevitable breakup anyway. Huge enormous douchebag. (And of course the average cute animu girl would not have met his standards of "White blonde and in the upper 15% percentile of aesthetics.")
Having scanned the internet thoroughly on the topic already, the best observations from us clucking chickens were:
* It was too easy to believe his internet posts were fake trolling to make the REAL Elliot Rodger look bad. It's some
really racist and destructive thoughts, in his posts.
and
"The validation that comes from being wanted is what is important. You don't think sex is important because you're already wanted and respected by others.
For those who have never felt that way, or don't feel that way about themselves, sex becomes a totemic thing. To achieve it means you have been accepted and wanted. Not having it means that you're not. Hiring a prostitute doesn't achieve that."
Oh, and his family pulled back the "autistic" claim almost immediately. "Shitty people skills" doesn't begin to describe it. He thought he was worthy of putting his wiener into people because of his BMW, $500 shirts, and his gorgeous half-white self. Like that bit in Arrested Development where GOB tries to make people feel inferior by talking about his $5,000 suit. Except psychotically serious.
(Oh, and one of the creepy internet fridge moments is that someone posted a JenniferLawrenceOK.gif in response to his crazy ramblings. It's pretty likely they met briefly.)
