The Gym Shooter Was A Whiny Sociopath!
The guy who is being branded as the "gym shooter" was looking for rationalizations for his sick feelings about women.But,there was nothing in his ramblings that could make me understand why he picked a group of random females to victimize in a shooting rampage last night in Pennsylvania.
George Sodini was full of rage & he directed it all at women.I guess that for a coward like him they were easy targets.On an online blog,he whined about his lack of sexual appeal & the rejection that he felt.His anger drove him to commit an atrociously violent act.
Here's more on what this sick puppy did from CNN:
"A Pennsylvania man who walked into a gym aerobics class and opened fire, killing three women and wounding nine before turning the gun on himself, "had a lot of hatred in him," police said Wednesday.
George Sodini, 48, brought four handguns into the LA Fitness gym outside Pittsburgh and used three of them, firing at least 36 times around 8 p.m. Tuesday, Allegheny County Police Superintendent Charles Moffatt said.
Sodini, a member of the gym, was found dead in the aerobics room, lying on top of one of his guns about seven feet from one of the victims.
Authorities believe Sodini targeted the aerobics class, because a schedule was found in his home with that class circled, Moffatt said.
But police do not believe he targeted anyone personally. An online diary, as well as notes at the scene and at his home, have led them to believe he was targeting women in general.
In the note found at the scene in Sodini's gym bag, he complains he had never spent a weekend with a woman, never vacationed with a woman and never lived with a woman, and that he had had limited sexual experiences, Moffatt said.
He makes similar complaints in his online blog, which also documents his growing rage at women for rejecting him and at the world he felt had abandoned him."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

If you dont understand why he targeted women at that gym then you didnt even read the diary. The man was clearly disturbed from a combination of a poorly nourished social childhood and consistent rejection as an adult. Any psychologist can tell you he missed somed key stages of human development.
The scary part is that these guys are all over the place and they look like your Uncle Bob!
...And a lot of them wear uniforms and sport badges...
How bad does it need to get before society starts paying attention to men's issues?
Men commit suicide at a rate of 400% higher than women.
Men commit 1000% more suicide after divorce or a break-up, and yet the media STILL presents men as emotion-less idiots with no feelings.
We live in a society designed to treat men as dispoble and have them carry all the rejection solely on their shoulders.
My surprise is that more men aren't turning psycho with the constant rejection and bashing that being a man involves.
To women: Grow up. Its the 21st century... start taking on responsibilities and start courting and meeting men yourselves.
Would it be wrong for me to say that I understand him? Society has often negelected the male side of relations and most of the blame is then laid on them. Not everyone can bounce back from rejection easily and to have some laugh at you can easily push those teetering on the edge over into insanity. Suppose you can think the next time you reject someone, be nice about it else they may target some buried rage aganist you.
I used to blog a lot about my social failings. I still sometimes will shoot of a quick "tweet" when I'm feeling down too. It turns out that the shooter did similar things online.
While I share a lot in common concerning the failure that is my personal life with the shooter (however I'm 30 and he was 48 I believe), I could never do what he did. What this person did really did not solve his problems. He also robbed people of their lives which is truly sad.
I also hear a lot of what AlekNovy is saying. I have to admit I personally feel utterly unappealing in every way. But I have chosen to accept the way things are in my social life and focus on other things like my activism and trying to fight injustice in the world.
