The Incel Killer Who Wanted Revenge on Everyone _ The Disturbing Case of Elliot Rodger · The Mind of a Man

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: but I will punish you all for it. If I
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: had it in my power, I would stop at nothing
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to reduce every single one of you to mountains of
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: skulls and rivers of blood.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: 22-year-old Elliot Rodger broadcast his hatred for women and the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: world for months on his YouTube channel. And yet, no
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: one knew that the day he referred to as his
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: day of retribution was on the horizon. It was a
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: day that would rock the college community of Isla Vista
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: to its core, result in the death of six innocent people,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: and expose the man behind the murders as a narcissistic
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: coward desperate to be viewed as a supervillain.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I will punish all of you for it. You will
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: finally see that I am, in truth, the superior one.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: The true alpha male. Yes.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: This is the case of the Isla Vista incel, Elliot Rodger.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: We'll dive into his 141-page manifesto, the final message he
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: left behind, and the childhood and adulthood that led to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: his twisted mental state.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: You will all be animals. You are animals, and I
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: will slaughter you like animals.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Elliot Rodger was born in 1991 into a life of
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: luxury and privilege. His father, Peter Rodger, was a successful
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: film director. and his mother, Ong Lee Chin, worked as
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: an on-set nurse on blockbuster movies, making a decent living
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: for herself full of opportunity. His grandfather, George Roger, was
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: a revolutionary photojournalist known for his heartbreaking and enlightening photos
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Photos such as this, which
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: show the mass graves of hundreds of innocent people. After
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: taking these photos, showing the carnage of racism, he never
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: photographed war again. Instead, deciding to take photos of nature...
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and daily life across the globe. The influence that taking
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: photos of concentration camps had on him would one day
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: be lost on his own grandson. In Elliot's manifesto, he
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: frequently displayed his racist beliefs, stating at one point, How
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: could an inferior, ugly black boy be able to get
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: a white girl and not me? I am beautiful, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I am half-white myself. I am descended from British aristocracy.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: He is descended from slaves. I deserve it more. When
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Elliot was four, his grandfather passed away. At the time,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Elliot was on a vacation in Greece with his parents,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and at that point he had traveled to six different countries,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the U.S., Greece, Malaysia, the U.K., France, and Spain. He
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: would later boast about this, yet at the same time
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: complain about how bitterly unfair life was to him. For
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the first few years of his life, he attended Dorset
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: House School, one of the oldest private prep schools in
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the country. His grandmother, Ah Ma, moved into the home
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: to help raise him. And soon, his younger sister Georgia
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: was born when Elliot was five. That same year, the
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: family moved to Woodland Hills, California, a relatively wealthy neighborhood
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: in the San Fernando Valley. Peter, eager to expand his
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: career as a director, felt it was the best choice
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: for their family to be as close as possible to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Eventually, the family moved up the hill to Topanga,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: a creative community in the Santa Monica Mountains where they
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: lived in a lavish house that Elliot grew to love.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Around this time, he started going to school at Topanga
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Elementary School, a school known for its enrichment programs, plays,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: and musical programs, which all take place at this outdoor amphitheater.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It was at this time that Elliot's parents divorced. Elliot
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: was heartbroken by the news, and wrote in his manifesto
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: about how visiting his father's house without his mother there
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: was challenging. In elementary school, Elliot had several friends, including
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: a girl named Maddie. He would later say that she
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: was his first... and last female friend. As they grew up,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: he began to resent her. In college, he called her spoiled,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and upon seeing a picture of her with her friends
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: at USC, he wrote, I would take great delight in
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: torturing and flaying her and every single one of her spoiled, obnoxious,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: evil friends. This was a childhood best friend. Someone who
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: he took baths with, ran through the grass and parks with,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and formed some of his earliest memories with. She had
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the exact same financial and educational upbringing as him. And yet,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: because she was a woman, she deserved not only to die,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: but to be tortured. That hatred towards women began to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: bubble up for Elliot towards the end of elementary school
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and at the beginning of middle school. Elliot was on
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the autism spectrum and struggled with social interaction. Heading into
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: middle school, he was known as the quiet, shy kid.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: He claims that he was picked on mercilessly, despite trying
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to fit in by dyeing his hair blonde and skateboarding.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: In middle school, he developed a crush on a fellow classmate,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl who was actually a grade below him.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: When he perceived her as making fun of him, he
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: was devastated. From then on, he became terrified of, desperate for,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and resentful of women. Wanting attention, but unsure of how
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: to get it, he began to act out in school.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: He believed that infamy was better than obscurity, so he
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: did all he could to annoy his peers and garner
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: their attention, be it negative or not. In a way,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: it worked. In his own words, he became the weird,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: annoying kid. He began spending all day, every day, playing
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the game World of Warcraft, or WoW. He was well
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: aware that he was using the game as an escape,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: but he didn't care, often spending anywhere from 10 to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: 16 hours a day playing. This became a problem when
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: his father remarried a Moroccan actress named Somaya Akabune. She
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: soon gave birth to his little brother, Jazz. Worried about
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Elliot being isolated and socially behind, she repeatedly tried to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: get him to engage with the world around him, but
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Elliot was reluctant to try. Immediately, this caused a huge
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: rift between Somaya and Elliot. At this point, Elliot believed that,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: as the eldest son, he should have more say in
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the house than a woman should. Acting as a parent
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and rational human being, Somaya didn't take kindly to this.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Before his freshman year, Pita and Somaya planned a two-month
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: trip to Morocco, where she was from. They thought that
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: by taking Elliot out of his shell and into a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: different environment, he would grow confidence. Instead, he tried to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: run away the day before the trip. His reluctance to
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: go was summed up in his manifesto, where he wrote,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: The country is very backward. They didn't even have the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: latest video game. En route to Morocco, he was forced
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: to fly commercial rather than first class, which he complained
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: about at great length. He went on to describe the
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: flight to Morocco as, quote, the worst flight of my life.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Elliot mused in his manifesto if his life could get
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: any worse at this point. In his eyes, it did.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: In high school, he described being bullied even more. During
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: his freshman year, he learned that some of his classmates
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: were having sex. He stated that learning this was the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: most devastating and traumatizing thing he'd ever heard in his life.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: After accusing a classmate of lying and being shown a
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: sex video in response, Elliot had a breakdown and was
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: withdrawn from the school. His teen years were a rollercoaster.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: He switched high schools twice, and his mother had to
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: move to an apartment due to the financial failure of
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: a movie his father invested in. He wrote, My mother
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: decided to move to an apartment in Woodland Hills. I
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: reacted indignantly. An apartment? I'd never lived in an apartment before,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and I thought of apartments as being poor and low-class.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I would be embarrassed to admit it to anyone. Though
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the apartment he moved to was one of the nicest
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: in the area, Elliot felt it was demeaning to live
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: there and refused to invite anyone over or reveal he
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: lived in an apartment. Soon after he graduated college, he
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: was struggling. His mother got him a life coach and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: encouraged him to get a job, but he refused, writing,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: My mother wanted me to get a retail job, and
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the thought of myself doing that was mortifying. It would
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: be completely against my character. I am an intellectual who
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: is destined for greatness. I would never perform a low-class
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: service job. Elliot undeniably thought very, very highly of himself.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Girls should be going for intelligence, sophistication, men who are civilized,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: men like me.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Elliot was convinced that women should be attracted to him.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: designer clothes, drove a BMW, and, in his own words,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: was intelligent. He would frequently go to bookstores and stand around,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: waiting for women to approach him. At times, he would
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: just drive his car around college campuses and park with
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the windows down, expecting a potential partner to strike up
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: a conversation with him. When he revealed his frustration about
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: not having a girlfriend to a family friend, he was
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: given advice to strike up a conversation with a woman
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: by complimenting her. At the very least, he'd make a friend.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Weeks later, when asked if he had tried this approach,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Elliot was indignant. He responded, This was Elliot's philosophy on
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: relationships in general. He frequently complained about people rejecting him,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: yet he never approached people with a smile nor conversation,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and never offered them friendships. When he began attending school
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: at the University of California, Santa Barbara, he would drive
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: around filming videos where he made commentary about the students
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: passing him by. These videos provide good insight into his
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: state of mind.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Right now I'm going on a little tour through Isla
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Vista on a Friday night.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: This is when all the college parties happen.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Look in there. There's a party happening right now. So
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: many beautiful girls walking around here. But they would never
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: give me a chance. See, look at that one. I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: just passed one.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: They would reject me at every turn. Young couples walking around.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: It makes me so envious.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: At this point in 2013, Elliot had already dropped out
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: of two colleges, unable to handle seeing couples. On several occasions,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: he walked out of classes simply because he saw a
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: man and woman kissing or holding hands. He described the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: rage he felt as insurmountable. At UCSB, known for being
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: a party school on the beach, Elliot felt he had
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: a chance at losing his virginity. However, after only days there,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: that hope was fading. During his first week, he learned
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: that the friend of one of his temporary roommates had
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: had sex with a white girl when he was 13. Enraged,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Elliot had to stop himself from throwing orange juice at
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: the man. He went to his room and sobbed, describing
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: it as a traumatic entrance into his new life in
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Isla Vista. As I stated before, he wrote, How could
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: an inferior ugly black boy be able to get a
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: white girl and not me? I am beautiful. I am
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: half white myself. I am descended from British aristocracy. He
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: is descended from slaves. I deserve it more. I tried
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: not to believe his foul words, but they were already said,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: and it was hard to erase from my mind. If
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: this is actually true, if this ugly black filth was
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: able to have sex with a blonde white girl at
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the age of 13 while I've had to suffer virginity
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: all my life, then this just proves how ridiculous the
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: female gender is. They would give themselves to this filthy scum,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: but they reject me? The injustice! From then on, his
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: outbursts got worse. After seeing a Mexican man kissing a
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: white girl, he was tempted to throw a drink at them.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: When he saw a couple kissing at a Starbucks the
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: next day, he followed them and threw a coffee cup
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: at their car. This eventually became a frequent routine of his,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: following couples, throwing drinks at them. Elliot started to unravel completely.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: In 2013, he gained two new roommates at USCB, Weihan
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: David Wang and Changyuan James Hong, two 20-year-olds studying computer engineering. Immediately,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Elliot hated them, describing them as, quote, the biggest nerds
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: he had ever seen. Everyone else, however, described the boys
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: as kind, giving, and charismatic. It was around this time
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: that Elliot began procuring handguns for his plan to enact
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: revenge on the world for rejecting him. The plan, he outlined,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: would start with killing his roommates, then luring people into
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: his apartment, torturing them, and putting their heads in bags.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: The next day, he would kill his little brother so
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: he wouldn't grow up to surpass him and his stepmother,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: planning the attack for May when his father would be
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: on a business trip. Then, he would return to Isla
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Vista and kill as many women as possible before pouring
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the heads onto the street. For weeks, he posted videos
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: detailing his struggles with women on his YouTube channel.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Hey.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Elliot Rodger here.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Right now I'm just taking a walk through the park
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: in this really nice secluded area. I'm just contemplating about
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: my life and how unfair it's been lately. Ever since
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I started desiring girls, but they never desired me back.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Life has been a living hell since then. Everyone else
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: my age is out having fun with their friends and
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: their girlfriends. Here I am, taking lonely walks through a park.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: All of you sexually active men, I hate you. I
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: hate all of you.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: And on May 23rd, Elliot began what he called his
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: day of retribution. At the last minute, his father came
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: home from his trip, forcing Elliot to stand down on
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: murdering his little brother and stepmother. He had no idea
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: how much this action changed the course of his family's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: future until his son had already committed his heinous crime.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Elliot practiced stabbing the pillows and mattress in his bedroom
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: before ambushing David as he entered the apartment. David tried
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: his hardest to stop the attack, but with no weapon,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: he was stabbed 15 times and slashed 23. James was
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: stabbed 25 times soon after when he walked into the apartment.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Elliot dragged their bodies to a corner of a bedroom
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: and covered them both with blankets and clothes, trying to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: conceal them for the next part of his plan. But
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: things don't always go as planned. 19-year-old George Chen, a
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: close friend of both Elliot's victims, led himself into the
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: apartment to visit them. A vicious fight began, where Elliot
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: stabbed George 94 times. As he was bleeding out, Elliot
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: dragged him into the bathroom, where he took his final breaths. Then,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Elliot casually went to Starbucks to get his usual, a
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: triple vanilla latte. After returning to his apartment, he sent
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: 34 people his full manifesto. This list of people included
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: his parents, childhood friends, and former teachers and therapists. He
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: then uploaded a seven-minute video titled, Elliot Rodger's Retribution.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Hi. Elliot Rodger here. Well, this is my last video.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: It all has to come to this. Tomorrow is the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: day of retribution. The day in which I will have
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: my revenge against humanity. Against all of you. I'm 22
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: years old, and I'm still a virgin. That has been
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: very torturous. It's not fair. I will punish all of
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you for it. You will finally see that I am,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: in truth, the superior one. The true Alpha Male. Yes.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: As he waged to Alpha Phi's sorority house to kill
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: as many women as he could, people in the valley,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: a good hour and a half away, were receiving his manifesto.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: His former therapist was the first to open it. A
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: few sentences in, they knew they had to warn Elliot's
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: mom and law enforcement that something was deeply wrong. Elliot's mother, father,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: and stepmother contacted one another and began to race toward
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Isla Vista after Elliot refused to answer any of their calls.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: As they careened down the 101, breaking news came across
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: the radio. There was a mass shooting at UCSB. Their
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: hearts sank. On campus, Elliot had rushed Alpha Phi. But
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: after not being able to get inside, he turned to
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: three girls on the sidewalk and shot each of them.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: 19-year-old Veronica Weiss was shot seven times. 22-year-old Catherine Cooper
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: shot five. Within seconds, both Veronica and Catherine were dead.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: The third woman who was shot, Bianca, was clinging to
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: life on the sidewalk. She later told news outlets that
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Elliot was smiling as he fired the shots at them.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Bianca called her mother, screaming into the phone that she
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: was going to die as she bled on the sidewalk.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Law enforcement and bystanders descended immediately, comforting Veronica and Catherine
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: as they took their last breaths. A bystander took Bianca's
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: phone and assured her mother Bianca was going to survive.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Elliot continued on his rampage. He fired into Ivy Deli Mart,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: resulting in dozens of students scattering and hiding for their lives. Unfortunately,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: 20-year-old Christopher Michaels Martinez was shot as he entered the
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: store through the door. Elliot then fired into Pizza My Heart,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: a restaurant, but thankfully only grazed a passerby in the arm.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: He continued on this path, hitting one man with a vehicle,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: shooting a cyclist in the thigh, and stopping to intimidate
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: a woman who was walking alone. He called out to her,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: hey what's up, before he raised the gun and fired
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: at her. Fortunately, he missed. He tore down the street,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: hitting everyone he could with his car. Upon seeing deputies,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: he exchanged gunfire with them, thankfully missing them. When he
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: took a shot in the hip, he raised the gun
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: to his head. After killing several people and terrorizing many more,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Elliot ended his life. His body lay on a dirty
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: street as detectives swarmed the scene. Six people were killed
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: by this cowardly hand, and many more were injured and traumatized.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Several families and communities were in mourning, and the memorial
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: services for the lost students were attended by thousands. Elliot
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: wanted to be addressed as the Supreme Gentleman. Of course,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: He was anything but. In the aftermath of the murders
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: he committed, many have spoken out about the radicalization that
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: can happen to young men in forums on the internet. Unfortunately,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: that still takes place today. If you'd like to see
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: our video on Alec Manassian, who was inspired by Elliot
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: to commit a heinous crime of his own, take a
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: look at it here. Unlike Elliot, he lived to tell
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: the tale, and his reasoning is just as twisted.
