12. One of the problems is that anti-Semitism comes in waves.

People think it's gone. And then all of a sudden it rears its ugly head again.

5. Weird

Sounds like he had a thing for this girl, and may be trying to set up some sort of insanity defense. Just a theory, I'm not saying he isn't an anti-Semite, but in the end he seemed totally focused on this one young woman.

6. And women are traditionally considered the "mysterious" sex.

So this girl rebuffed his advances, and he therefore decides to kill her and shoot up a school and he justifies this through appar4ently new found antisemitism.

This aspect of almost exclusively male behavior never ceases to leave me in utter bewilderment. Sure, a very few women kill, but they are still decidedly the exception. I just don't get how a guy goes from, "I really want to be with her" to "I think I'm going to make plans to rape (didn't happen, but but he did plan to do it) and kill her, and some other people too.

It happens often enough that I'm really surprised we don't have a specific term for it.

8. Clearly, the guy had more than one hate. He also hated Vietnamese.

He also ranted in his journal that it was okay to kill JEWS. I haven't seen the dates on those journal entries and computer files. You can't say this was only his excuse. Clearly, he had a hatred for Jews.

Wesleyan, by the way, has a much higher percentage of Jewish students than the other schools in the area, a region that is mostly WASP. And for the first time, the president of Wesleyan is Jewish. See this:

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1086860.html

The guy wrote of creating a "Jewish Columbine." If he had gotten his wish and gone on a shooting spree, and if that had killed students like at Columbine, there is no indication that he would only have targeted women in such a massacre.

11. "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" were originally a diatribe against Napoleon.

Then they were rewritten with the names and facts changed to attack the Jews.
