I, too, was thinking he is a good looking kid...(young man)
I imagine there was something in his social presentation that gave girls/young women "red alerts"....
JMO
UC Santa Barbara is a tough school to fit into. I know the area well. My daughters 2 best friends went there and so she spent a lot of time up there visiting. It is only a half an hour North of us.
Normally, yes, you might think that a rich, intelligent, halfway decent looking kid would have some social acceptance. But UCSB is a very upscale student body. And I have never seen so many gorgeous kids in one place. They are known for their healthy, natural, lifestyle there. 'Surf in the mornings before class' type of thing.
It would be hard for anyone to try and fit in there as a 'popular' person, which is what this mentally maladaptive young man apparently desired. He was angry at the pretty blonde sorority girls. He killed 6 of them.
I woke up to the news this morning on CNN and almost had a stroke. My 22 yr old DD was supposedly @ UCSB for her friends graduation party last night, at the exact same place this massacre took place. I started calling her at 8 am and got no reply. Finally she called back at 9 and she had been asleep, in her own apartment thank goodness. She and her bf had a fight about her going to spend the night in SB after a party so she didnt go. I want to go give him a big hug and a kiss.
