It's 2 hours, but much higher in quality than anything else you're going to find on the subject.

Elliot Rodgers was one fricked up dude. I won't waste my time trying to delve into his psyche.

2 hour video regurgitating the musings of a fricked up kid OR 2 hours of time with my own kid. You figure it out.

Well that just indicates a preference of yours, not that one is a waste of time (Also, posting on TD isn't exactly spending time with your kid).

Spare the 2 hours and paraphrase the truth.

I'm only a little over half way through it, but I will write a summary.

The truth about Elliot Rodger is that it's far too easy in this country for sociopaths to get firearms.

You're going to hate the future because it will never get any less easy.

Not watching the vid. It's this kind of biographical dissection performed within a couple of days of a tragedy that makes me sick. Other kids with self image issues see it and seek the same attention. This kind of shite perpetuates these selfish acts. The media relishes these vents because they increase their viewers exponentially. Makes me sick.

Solution? Do you want to give people personality tests prior to them getting a licensed gun? What about the criminals who get them easily?

This isn't "the media", it's a philosophy show.

This is more about the factors leading to a psyche such as Eliot's than his method of "retribution". This kid was a disaster waiting to happen. Molyneaux is addressing this dynamic. Apparently, his parents weren't attending to his psychological and emotional needs in an adequate manner.
