Ana Kasparian's Response To Disgusting UC Santa Barbara Shooter Supporter



"A website popular with the online Pick-up Artist community responded to UC Santa Barbara shooter's murderous rampage, saying it could have been avoided if the shooter had 'game,' like they profess to possess, before concluding that "more people will die" unless society provides men with more "sexual options.""


Of course, this "supporter" is that blogger Roosh V (sounds more like Doosh to me).

1. The response to this recent tragedy is wrong and disgusting

Men, the mentally ill, the disabled and even people who are shy, loners or quiet are all getting blamed for this tragedy. Every person is getting blamed except for Gun Manufacturers and the NRA who continue to fight for the right of mass shooters to easily get access to weapons.

It is a shame!

and I HATE TO BREAK IT TO ANA but it was never about getting laid, picking up women or misogyny. He just wanted to kill a bunch of people but knew just doing that would make him look like a monster so he put out the "sob story" and it worked just like it worked for Chris Dorner, no one remembers the young couple he gunned down in a parking garage in Irvine, no one remembers the 2 cops he snuck up on and blew away at a stop light.

STOP LETTING BLOOD THIRSTY PSYCHOPATHS SET THE NARRATIVE!

Michael Moore said it best

3. Rodger's attitudes re: women closely matched the GOP's

But when I pointed that out, conservatives screech that "oh but he subscribed to TYT on YouTube!" He's a librul!

TYT is not where Rodger obtained his dangerous attitudes about women. Obviously. He got 'em from the PUA and MRA sites. Here, TYT vehemently speaks out against misogyny. So - their point about his being a subscriber? Invalid. Of course.

Ana you are correct, one of the problems is the thought process of assholes like Roosh. He is living in another world and tries to explain away things that happen instead of putting the blame where it belongs. I am thinking someday we will be reading about Roosh in the paper.

what you think? Personally, I agree with her. If you don't, you could at least have the decency not to post such a simple, idiotic response to the video.

And, I also agree with her.

Just wondering why I need to see a video of her saying it.

It's only for you to decide whether or not you 'need' to see a video or anything else. If it doesn't appeal to you then just don't watch the video. Nobody is making you watch I'm pretty sure. Click on a different link/thread/video. Simple.

a public platform to spew this madness, the fetishizing of whiteness as power, of whiteness as femininity, as non-whiteness as inferiority and blackness as hyper masculinity covered in a gallon of porn sauce sprinkled with American egocentricity is what this kid was fed daily and internalized. Like all American kids are, only this one happened to be a murderous ticking time bomb. until we start realizing that racism and sexism and classism as inextricably linked we won't get anywhere.
