Just woke up to dozens of friends and family members talking about a shooting that occurred last night in a small college town called Isla Vista, where students from UCSB and SBCC live.

Turns out someone drove around firing shots last night, killing 6 before getting in a shoot out with police and then killing himself after crashing.

I have a handful of friends and family members living there and so far everyone is safe but there are still some I'm waiting to hear back from...

yea the dude is a straight up psychopath...

 

sounds like he was so use to getting everything he wanted and was pampered his whole life that when girls didn't want him (probably because he's a creepy little poo) he short circuited.

 

unreal and my thoughts with those involved. crazy that the parents alerted authorities a month ago about these types of videos and they did nothing.

He was diagnosed at a young age with several mental illnesses including Asperger's Syndrome. AS is a form of autism, that among other things, causes individuals to lack the ability to sense emotion in themselves an their peers. He was a very ill kid.

He was a good looking guy, so it's likely he was a virgin because he's always came across as a strange individual.

Kids parents have swiss money and it looks like they just shoveled money to him, putting him in an apartment and buying him anything he wanted. They said he was taking medication and seeking counseling but it looks like his parents just threw money at him to keep him from being a burden to them.

Also note reporting they found 3 bodies in his apartment.

His entire YT channel was removed but I guarantee he has said and done things in the past that should've thrown up huge red flags that he was capable of something like this. Most likely it was just ignored.

The real story is gun control. It's illegal to murder someone, illegal to conceal a firearm in a vehicle without permits, illegal to have a firearm on a college campus, illegal to possess or purchase a firearm when you've been diagnosed with mental defects, etc. Clearly if there was just one more law such as an extra background check or limit on number of rounds from 11 to 6 this entire tragedy would've been avoided. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE?!?!

Apparently he drew 3 people into his apartment and knifed them.

It's not guns, it's the system that fails to treat the mentally ill.

But keep on missing the need.

It's actually 10 dead.

The system failed hard here.

Spent so many happy days partying with friends in IV in my younger days.

Only good thing here is the perp is dead.

I don't find it good that he is dead. I find it sad that nobody cared to get him the help he needed. It's pretty obvious his parents knew he was sick but just gave him money and kept him away.

You missed the sarcasm. I know guns aren't the problem. You could wave a magic wand and make every gun on the earth disappear and violence wouldn't go anywhere.

IE- Boston Bombing

People have caused 100x more damage with pressure cookers, diesel fuel, and fertilizer than guns.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
