Pray tell, what connection is being implied that this Judge has anything to do with Elliot Rodger?

Before driving to the sorority house, Rodger uploaded a video to YouTube titled “Elliot Rodger’s Retribution”, in which he outlined his planned attack and his motives. He explained that he wanted to punish women for rejecting him, and sexually active men because he envied them.

The author is comparing the judge’s reasoning to Elliot Rodger’s. Clearly in his mind, women have no automony of their own. They exist only to entertain men with sex and childbirth.

That is a general conservative Christian sentiment not out of line with the far right and republican values. It’s a shitty position but one that many Americans hold on to.

Why was Elliot Rodger specifically mentioned in relation to Judge Ho?

spaceghoti OP ,

Because they’re both icel arguments.
