3. Very creepy and very sad on many levels.

I'm going to speculate that he is a rich kid. Being a 22 year old kid owns a BMW sort of points to that. Also, since I live 100 miles north of there, it's a pocket of great wealth. Oprah et al. This kid was probably raised by the help so I doubt if he got much discipline. He seems spoiled rotten because he thinks all things, including love should be handed to him on a silver platter. The fact that he wants to kill the sorority girls seems to point to the fact that he was rejected by them.

If he had caring parents, they would have recognized a long time ago that he needed psychiatric help and gotten it for him because they could afford it. I may be off base on all of this but it will be interesting to find out his background.

I've known many kids here in S. Cal who have been raised with great privilege but little affection or attention from parents who turn them over to nannies while they travel, golf and spend all their time in SPAs instead of paying attention to their kids. Most of them get over it and get on with their lives.
