Killer: Elliot Rodger, pictured, told friends he had thoughts of raping women, family friends said
" I'm 22 years old and I'm still a virgin. I've never even kissed a girl,'.
'College is the time when everyone experiences those things such as sex and fun and pleasure. But in those years I've had to rot in loneliness. It's not fair. You girls have never been attracted to me. I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me. But I will punish you all for it."
This was the comment made by the son of Hunger Games assistant director, Elliot Rodger shortly before he went on rampage on Friday, killing six people before shooting himself dead.
Rodger had told a friend he wanted to hold down and rape women, his friend's mother Cathleen Bloeser's has revealed.
Cathleen Bloeser's son was a childhood friend of killer Elliot Rodger and was among the 30 people who received his sick manifesto by email just seconds before he carried out the murders.
In the 141-page document, 22-year-old Rodger described how he was going to kill his housemates, then slaughter women at a sorority house before opening fire on the streets of Isla Vista. He explained that he was driven to kill after numerous women had rejected him.
Moments after sending the manifesto to his mother, father, former teachers and friends, Rodger went on his shooting spree.
Family friend Simon Astaire told Reuters that Rodger's mother, Chin, had also received a phone call on the night of the shooting from his therapist alerting her to the manifesto.
She called police and her ex-husband, Peter Rodger, and the two parents raced to Isla Vista - but she heard radio reports about the shootings as she drove.
As well as emailing the 30 people his manifesto, he also shared his hate for women in a video posted online called Elliot Rodger's Retribution.
He unleashed a tirade about his 'loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled desires,' and blamed women for preferring 'obnoxious brutes' to him, 'the supreme gentleman'.
Among his victims were, Weihan Wang, 20, of Fremont, and Cheng Yuan Hong, 20, of San Jose, whom he stabbed to death on Friday at the apartment they had shared with him.
The body of another UCSB student, George Chen, 19, of San Jose, was also found at the apartment, but he did not live there. Rodger then climbed into his SUV and drove towards the Alpha Phi sorority house, where he shot dead Katherine Cooper, 22, and Veronika Weiss, 19.
He then got back into his car and drove to a nearby deli, where he opened fire. There, he killed student Chris Michael-Martinez, 20, in an attack that was captured on surveillance footage.
The gunman then climbed back into his car and continued to shoot at passersby as he drove, hitting three pedestrians before he police officers returned fire and shot him in the hip.
He tried to escape and knocked down a cyclist, before he eventually shot himself in the head and smashed into parked cars.
When police found his body, he was surrounded by three semi-automatic handguns and nearly 400 rounds of ammunition, which had all been purchased legally.
