Kindness certainly goes a long way when dealing with people. This guy sounds like a real wild card.  We have no way of knowing how he approached or treated women.  He may have brought that rejection on himself.

I've read tons of articles on this guy and he was mad at the "Pretty Women" that were rejecting him. This guy had his standards set too high and when he couldn't get the woman of his choice or the woman he felt he "deserved" he cracked. I don't feel sorry for this guy at all because he was looking for a perfect "pretty woman" and lets get real here the majority of them are already taken. Therefore what was he doing? Rejecting mediocre and homely women right? If a guy can't find a woman, then that's his problem, and an obvious reason as to why. He could find a woman, just not the one he wanted!

I've always said, there is somebody out there for everybody.  You just need to look.  Maybe he should've tried a guy.

The reason some take people with them when they leave is a result of how they were treated in the real world.   You really think you can just ignore some people and it doesn't adversely affect them?  You feel when people are looking down on you.  It hurts.  Now imagine that being your life everyday of every year.  WE create some of these folks by the way we treat other people.   If we judged a lot less and accepted more maybe some would not feel that they have to do things such as this. 

OMG I sounded like a liberal, now I have to go beat myself with the toughen up stick.   

Good points, Wiener, this man did indicate his mother was "domineering" which I'm sure had some sort of long term affect on him. But, then again, through his own admission on some of his blogs and videos, he states he was the one that was socially awkward and not necessarily how women and people treated him, but that he did not know how to respond to women very well which led to rejections. I, too, believe that perhaps he set his standard way too high and probably set himself up for rejection time and time again.

He probably couldn't find the woman his mommy wanted him to have. He should of kicked his mommy to the curb long ago instead of taking the lives of innocent women.

But, he could have also been looking for the direct opposite of what his mother wanted as well. Who knows.

In my opinion he didn't know himself what he wanted so how can we?

Red, I based my opinion on what I read about the man. He wrote about doing this in a blog. He also wrote his thoughts about pretty women as well as a whole slue of his other thoughts, and rants.

I understand. My comment was in reference to him not knowing what he really wanted in life. Therefore nothing would satisfy hm.

Yes ok. But I feel he knew what he wanted, he just couldn't get it.

You may be right. I have not read too much of the story. It simply disgusts me too much.

He apparently never got the interaction with human beings the way most people do?  How else could you be social inept?   If you don't go out there and get the bruises, how are you gonna learn the ropes. 

Could be a million reasons why he was how he was and caused him to feel like a failure.

Yes it disgusts me as well. I feel for the victims and their families.
