George Sodini photo
George Sodini is the man who unleashed a barrage of gunfire onto an aerobics class at aPennsylvania LA Fitness on August 4th.
Sodini had been planning the bloody attack for some time, and after it was all said and done he had killed three women, injured nine others, and scarred for life dozens.
According to detailed journals he left, he had chickened out on his first attempt to seek revenge against women. The second time he did not.
In his tediously kept journals Sodini claimed that he hadn’t had sex since 1990 and claimed that women would never give him the time of day. He said he was always dubbed “the nice guy.”
His writings contained racists thoughts, and anger aimed at his family – and women.
During his final moments Sodini shot his guns, which were carefully stored in a duffel bag, fifty-two times. The fifty-second shot ended his reign of terror – and his life.
Police found notes in his duffel bag, which also led them to Sodini’s massacre journal which was left neatly at his home on his coffee table.
“Why do this? To young girls? Just read below.”
He mentioned that he wanted his writings to be public saying, “the notes in my gym bag can be published freely . . . I will not be embarased (sic), because, well, I will be dead . . . my voice will speak forever!” “Death lives!”
In all actuality he wasn’t an unattractive man, I just think he was a very sick man, who had no self confidence. Women must have been able to sense something was not right with him, because you would think, judging from the above photo, that he wouldn’t have a hard time meeting women.
Terribly sad and tragic.
I live a minute drive from that gym. Its messed up and really shatters how I think of my township now. It is just a nice little every day place with nice people, now a gray cloud will be hanging over it for a while. I shop up there and I already know and can feel that people will just not be the same around here. I wish that he didn’t feel the disgusting need to take others with him.
Let me start off and say I do not support what this bastard did, but in an ironic way he is right.
Women will claim they are not materialistic but will ask “What type of Car do you drive?”
Woman also pull out that NICE GUY card and I hate to say this, but it is hard to figure out. They will go and run to “the NICE guy” when they want a rest from the Wife Beater in the wife-beater. Then blow the Nice guy off when he makes advances. only to go back to the BAD BOY. I cared for my Mother who had a stroke and my Dad who had a blood disorder that became a metobolic thing. When I tell a woman that you would think I was telling her I was a Leper with HIV.
I empathize with George completely.
ANYONE that empathizes with George is just as sick (NBK2.0)
Just because you strike out with women, it does not give you the right to hurt innocent people.
Why does society feel the need to analyze freaks like this? This guy was just a crazy SOB that should have just taken his own life and leave these women alone.
I find it hard to believe that NOBODY knew this guy was crazy. He was just a loser and a coward. May he rot in hell.
It is truly unfortunate that George felt the need to murder people in order to get his point across.
I do agree on one thing though… Society has lost sight of what truly matters and as a result, they are paying a heavy price for being shallow, apathetic, agnostic, materialistic wastes of flesh.
You know why men like him don’t attract women? They give off the “vibe” and all but the most desperate sense that there is something wrong with these men and avoid them. Women who take care of their bodies are trying to be healthy, so why would they want a sick, bitter loser?
His childish, selfish “revenge” on perfect strangers that he cowardly shot to death in the dark, were complete innocents. If no woman wants you, it’s not the women who have something wrong with them, it’s the men who need to get counseling and fix what is intrinsically wrong with them. Killing innocent people is not the answer if no one loves you. Get counseling and figure out why no one wants you. That’s your responsibility.
George had plenty of opportunity to meet women and he just had the wrong attitude or approach. I met him in the summer of 2008 during an event, he seemed completely stuck up and disinterested me. I just chalked it up to him just being out of my league. I later saw him during the holiday, he seemed much friendlier and social. He was relaxed and having fun, and I recall talking to him for a good while. He seemed like he was a well rounded, well dressed, good looking and in great shape guy. He did not go around acting like a bitter, crazy guy.
To all those people that think nobody tried to help. George never let on about how lonely he was. Many of the people that knew him are wonderful people that would have eagerly helped him, if they had only known.
Those that knew him are shocked at the tragedy and even more shocked from reading his blog. I barely knew him, yet I can say the guy that I met a couple of times and the person that wrote that blog seem like two entirely different people. I am saddened and stunned.
“ANYONE that empathizes with George is just as sick (NBK2.0)”
Get real. I empathize with him to a degree, too, and I’m a fundamentalist, Evangelical Christian who understands the Biblical importance of life and loving people. Yet I understand George’s frustration. I’m fit, nice/average looking, quiet, now 40 (pass for 35) and am perpetually single with no female interaction beyond “Here’s your change, have a nice day”; I get nowhere. I totally understand his frustration and feelings of low self-esteem. Of course, it’s awful how he dealt with it in the end, though.
To the waste of oxygen who referred to George as a ’sick,bitter loser’…..
For every action there is a reaction.
If women want to continue to be tyrannical,scandalous hypocrites….there will finally be consequences.It’s time for these feminists to answer for everything they’ve done in the past 45 years.You wanna run to the “jailbirds”,and “Thugs” and treat nice hardworking guys like mascots?Well,expect payment and accept your fate.
I admire Sodini.I can understand what he said about Black dudes.It wasn’t really racist.
The kind of Black men White women generally go for are the ignorant backward ones.The intelligent,thoughtful ones NEVER get any play either,just like Sodini.If you are a Black college graduate who happens to speak standard English,you can forget it.
Sodini was a hero.
