Great question

From the BBC site:
"Local TV stations broadcast footage of police arresting a suspect at the scene The man appeared to shout "Heil Hitler" from the back of a police car.
Police said the suspect was not from the area, and that he used a shotgun in the attacks. They are trying to establish whether he used other weapons in addition.
The attack took place just before the Jewish festival of Passover, but police have declined to say whether the incident is linked to anti-semitism."
Not jumping to easy conclusions is entirely laudable but...

It's probably for legal/procedural reasons, I think they already went as far as to say that they're investigating it as a hate crime; same reason they have to say "alleged suspect"

Jimmy Chang, a reporter for the UCSB newspaper and senior at the school, said he spoke with a female student who said the gunman opened fire on her as she was walking on an Isla Vista street."He actually drove across street to meet her," Chang said, repeating the witness' account. "The guy stuck his head out and says, 'Hey, what are you doing,' She ignored him, thinking he was just the 'typical, Isla Vista douche bag.' The guy pulled out a gun and shot at her. The bullet missed her head. She said she thought it was a BB gun, and she just kept walking faster."

Reading that thread I linked to is like going into a dimension of self delusion and misogyny and reading thoughts from people who are never challenged on their creepiness bc they just talk to others who encourage it.

Never know what I'm supposed to say about these stories but in the Isla Vista case, the BMW he was driving and the conventionally attractive appearance of the guy seem worth pointing, given the kind of ... 'cause' he was espousing?
― cardamon, Saturday, 24 May 2014 17:27 (twelve years ago)
he clearly couldn't get a date because he was a freaky creep and women had the good sense to stay away from him.

you watch him talk and it's a million red flags within the first twenty seconds aside from the obvious 'i'm going to have vengeance today' BS. i assume there are more red flags after that, i stopped watching.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Saturday, 24 May 2014 17:33 (twelve years ago)
Do we have external confirmation that he'd never got a date/was a virgin? I always wonder about this, like in cases where the killer 'was a victim of bullying' (probably because I don't want to believe that people who really struggle socially are the ones who become killers, tbh).
― cardamon, Saturday, 24 May 2014 17:36 (twelve years ago)
figure he's the type who had a lot of money and status thrown at him, maybe more than love was given him, and he fell in with a bunch of online creeps who misled him further on how women were horrible and how they couldn't be trusted.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Saturday, 24 May 2014 17:37 (twelve years ago)
xp (i.e. I like to think that the killers pretend to be having a bad time, sort of stealing that identity from the people who really are)
