Gym Shooter's Blog Warning

Disturbing

Diary evidences hatred for family, loneliness.

George Sodini—who allegedly killed three and wounded 15 yesterday at a L.A. Fitness branch in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, before committing suicide at the scene—had an online diary that served as a blueprint for the shooting massacre, according to ABC News. In his blog, Sodini, 48, expressed hatred for his domineering mother and brother and his lust for women. The day before the attack, Sodini mused about religion, and his plans for the attack, as well as his preparation—he hadn't had a drink since 2:30 p.m. on Friday. The diary read, "Last time I tried this, in January, I chickened out." In his diary, Sodini said he hadn't had sex since 1990, but described his biggest problem as "not having relationships or friends." He welcomed post-mortem publication of his papers planning the attack because "maybe all this will shed insight on why some people just cannot make things happen in their life, which can potentially benefit others."
