It is remarkable that people still perpetuate the idolization of killers and murderers, through the registration of domain names related to the crimes.
Student killer, Elliot Rodger, could not have been an exception; the media attention he currently receives is unprecedented. Very little of that discussion seems to be about his victims.
Student killer, Elliot Rodger.
In the past 48 hours, the following domain names related to Elliot Rodger and his heinous crime have been registered:
- ElliotRodger.com
- Elliot-Rodger.com
- ElliotRodger.net
- ElliotRodger.org
- ElliotRodgerHere.com
- ElliotRodgerMurderer.com
- ElliotRodgers.com
- ElliotRodgerShooter.com
- ElliotRodgersRetribution.com
- TheRetributionOfElliotRodger.com
Don’t be fooled about any noble motives here: Most of these registrations are probably made in hopes of a future book or movie deal, and as sickening as it may sound, there is plenty of potential in that.
Elliot Rodger left behind an 107,000 word “manifesto“, describing his lack of getting female attention; his write-up, titled “My twisted world” will most likely provide plenty of material for future scripts.
Last year, the event of the Boston Marathon bombing led to a series of related domain names to be registered, among which was BostonBomber.com. Its hidden registrant, is currently letting that one expire.
More proof that there is nothing good to come out of such domain names, after all.
