Seattle police said Keshav Mukund Bhide used his YouTube and Google+ accounts to defend Elliot Rodger, who killed six people and wounded 13 others before killing himself on May 23.
The suspect allegedly wrote online that Rodgers day of retribution was perfectly justified.
I am the next Elliot Rodger and guess what Ill do the right thing this time, Bhide allegedly wrote in one post. In another, he said the difference between himself and Rodger would be that he would make sure I kill only women, while identifying himself as a Seattle resident attending the university.

If felony harassment is all they are charging him with, he wont be in for long.

This is not snark. State laws vary. What can Seattle police do?
