Ah, so they did notify the police. Well not much more they could have done.
Also no longer lived with them, apparently. According to the above messages, he also mentions that he had to take some of his videos down for a while after his parents discovered them, so, presumably they were concerned. Whether or not they knew just how wrong his mental state was, we don't know.

That wouldn't have made much difference (and he did seemingly pass the background checks). The three male dead bodies found at his apartment had been repeatedly stabbed to death.
He clearly didn't care what he used to spread carnage. He was determined to, regardless. Seems like the kind of personality who would have read up on how to make nail bombs and such, if he wanted to.

he had Aspergers...
i've read some of his manifesto... jesus christ.
Has that been confirmed? Asperger sufferers seem more likely to avoid violence and confrontation, from everything I've read. I know that's how it's always been for me.
Was definitely undergoing a whole lot of things in addition to that, if it's what he had.
What's a little frustrating, is that some people on Twitter (and probably other places) are now declaring how 'involuntary celibate' ('incels') males should be regarded with even more derision than ever, as though all of us in that situation are like this idiot...
It's stunningly clear, from everything he was posting, that he had huge ego and racist issues. I'd say an inferiority complex, too, but there are many points where he makes it clear he feels
superior to other people: He literally couldn't comprehend
why just having a pretty face and driving around in an expensive car isn't all it takes to have 'women' throw themselves at his feet. It's an insanely arrogant and superficial way of viewing the world. Who was giving him those ideas? It didn't seem like he had much in the way of a social peer group. Was he listening to tons of shitty 'life-ain't-nothin'-but-bitches-and-hoes' rap music and believing it?
If he'd survived, he seems like the typical Hollywood executive who'd burn out at an early age and get arrested for beating hookers to death.
The sad thing is, how many more young predators are out there like this one? Suffering from depression is one thing, but that shouldn't instantly equate to wanting to murder the world - and actively gathering the resources by which to do it.
