the isla vista maniac...

I'm not going to mention his name.

He was a smart kid and a talented writer.  I read a good portion of his manifesto and it was well written, written better than many who make a living as writers.  

Before reading his manifesto, I kind of put some blame on his parents.   Divorced like many in this day and age.  

He was getting psychological help and he was getting mentored by individuals, one being a young woman a year or so older than him.   Those who mentored him were paid.   

I think his parents should have hired a young woman to have sex with him.   The girlfriend experience- pricey, but less than the price of 3 handguns this young maniac purchased.  

He had a skewed sense of self worth.  

Some more thoughts- being addicted to video games doesn't help one deal with reality.  Having divorced parents and having issues with your step-mom isn't good for a kid with self esteem issues. 
Unfortunately, divorced parents is the norm nowadays.  And having easy access to handguns makes acting out ones violent fantasies become a reality.
