I went throug all 9 pages of this thread and the word IMS, wasn't involved, what's wrong with you guys?
The word coffee was everywhere but no one said, when the IMS fail, it sounds like grinding coffee.
I have some Porsche and coffee pictures is not starbucks but I hope the OP won't get offended.
I found video of First 996 having his Sbux latte while discussing 996 forum members, and unfairness of life faced by owners of the GR 99 coupes.
I'm all for giving this guy the grief he's earned, but comparing him to a whiny piece of **** that felt driving around and shooting people was a good idea is over the line in my opinion.
Also giving that piece of **** legitimacy by watching and linking to his videos is not cool either. Glad he is gone from the earth (though some drawn out and painful suffering would have been nice), now we need to forget his existence entirely.
I agree. Ironically (or coincidentally), that guy went to Starbucks just before posted his "manifesto":
Less than two hours preceding the shooting spree, Rodger went to a Starbucks coffee shop, where he purchased some coffee. He was later seen sitting in his car in the parking lot of his apartment building at about 8:30 p.m.,working on his laptop. He uploaded the "Retribution" video at 9:17 p.m., and sent his manifesto e-mail at 9:18 p.m.

I find it ironically coincidental that I drink cheap Maxwell house coffee and drive a Porsche that does not have an adequate cup holder. What a paradox!
Since you seem fond of the mic drop, I put together a little something for your next Starbucks poetry slam. You're welcome.
Hurt...
Butthurt, hurting like a
'99 Guards Red 996 with
fugly
black
wheels
The acrid, black Starbucks coffee
cooling in its
bleached
paper
cup...
Just lukewarm and bitter
like my own
butthurt
tears

Yet people are still talking about him rather that let him be forgotten.
Forgetting s**t like that is a mistake - hopefully, some lessons will be learned about the various police contacts with that POS and other opportunities there were to recognize that he was a psychopath on the verge of a homicidal rampage and act on that information rather than just accepting that he's one of today's "special snowflakes" that just need to be supported and encouraged. This guy was a misogynist egomaniac; the reason he couldn't get laid is, I suspect, that the stink of his crazy was offputting.
When animal control finds a rabid dog, they put him down, chop off its head, and send it in for testing. I think that protocol might be appropriate for other authorities as well.
In Rodger's self-proclaimed ideal world, he imagined that he would "quarantine all [women] in concentration camps. At these camps, the vast majority of the female population will be deliberately starved to death. That would be an efficient and fitting way to kill them all off... I would have an enormous tower built just for myself... and gleefully watch them all die."
This is not the kind of stuff you sweep under the rug and forget about. The parents who bankrolled this psycho and turned him loose in a college town - in spite of being aware that he was refusing medication for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder - are unforgivably responsible. This is the kind of person you commit to an asylum, not a kid you rent an apartment for, buy a BMW for, and send on his merry way.
I agree that there are aspects that need to be remembered and learned from, but I think we can do that with out attaching his (or others like him) name and picture/video to it except under very specific circumstances (e.g. research and training for identifying and dealing with such cases).
I'll drop my ranting now though as we are getting to RLOTPC material and I don't think anyone here wants to see this lovely thread about coffee moved over there
