Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
A mentally ill 22-year-old California man killed six people and wounded seven others before killing himself in a premeditated murder rampage in Isla Vista, California.
Elliot Rodger posted a video online the day before his assault where he prepared to bring “retribution” on those who he believed had done him wrong, singling out college age women he said rejected him in favor of men he thought were crude and beneath him.
Rodger posted a 140-page manifesto online that he e-mailed to friends and family who were frantically searching for him the evening of his attack.
Rodger stabbed his three roommates to death before getting in a black BMW to start his rampage. He committed suicide when police closed in on him after a short chase.
Police say most of the deaths happened outside a convenience store where the bystanders didn’t realize initially what was happening and took some time to obtain cover. Witnesses say the gunman rapidly sped away after the shooting, running over two bicyclists in his way.
Police had been dispatched to Rodger’s house a month prior to the attack after reports of disturbing videos that he had placed online. Police visited with him and reported that they did not find any threatening signs.
