Meet Oregon School Shooter Chris Harper-Mercer: "You're Going To See God In Just About One Second"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Sadly, the post-mass-shooting killer profile has become something of a media tradition in the US of late as a string of violence that includes the execution of nine African American churchgoers in Charleston and the on-air murder of a TV reporter has delivered a shock to the collective psyche of Americans and served notice that tragedies like those that occurred at Columbine, Virginia Tech, and Sandy Hook may well become commonplace going forward. 

The latest “incident” in the mass shooting tradition came on Thursday when someone described only as “a 20-year-old man” went on a rampage at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. According to some eyewitness accounts, the shooter demanded that victims “stand up and state their religion” before summarily executing them. 

On Friday, the first details are beginning to emerge about the identity of the shooter. Here’s Reuters with more:

The man killed by police on Thursday after he fatally shot nine people at a community college in southern Oregon was a nervy 26-year-old who lived close to the campus and described himself as shy, according to neighbors, media and online reports.

 

A law enforcement source said multiple agencies had identified the shooter as Chris Harper-Mercer. Online directories list a man of that name as having lived in Torrance, California, before moving to Winchester, Oregon.

 

The killer used four guns, including a type of assault rifle, in the classroom attack, CNN said. Seven people were also wounded at the Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, a timber town of about 20,000 people that adjoins Winchester.

 

A photo posted on a MySpace profile belonging to someone named Chris Harper-Mercer, from Torrance, showed a young man with a shaved head, dark-rimmed glasses and a serious expression. He was holding a long-barreled gun.

 

A neighbor next door to the Winchester building said Thursday night he recognized online photos of Harper-Mercer as being his neighbor.

 

In an Internet posting on the Spiritual Passions dating and social networking site, a user posted a picture that appears to be Harper-Mercer under the user name IRONCROSS45, a handle Harper-Mercer used as his email.

 

He described himself on the site as a 26-year-old, mixed-race "man looking for a woman." He said he was "not religious, but spiritual," and was a "teetotaler" living with his parents and a conservative Republican. Socially, he said, he was "shy at first" and "better in small groups." He described himself as "always dieting" and looking for "the yin to my yang."

And here’s further color from The New York Times:

Chris Harper Mercer, the man identified as the gunman in the deadly rampage at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., on Thursday, was a withdrawn young man who neighbors said wore the same outfit every day — combat boots, green Army pants and a white T-shirt — and was close to his mother, who fiercely protected him.

Neighbors in Winchester, Ore., and Torrance, Calif., where Mr. Mercer, 26, lived with his mother, Laurel Harper, remember a reclusive and seemingly fragile young man with a shaved head and dark glasses who seemed to recoil from social interaction.

 

“He always seemed anxious,” said Rosario Lucumi, 51, who rode the same bus in Torrance as Mr. Mercer when she went to work. She said she believed he took it to El Camino College. “He always had earphones in, listening to music.”

 

“He and his mother were really close,” said Ms. Lucumi, who estimated that Mr. Mercer and his mother, who shared a small one-bedroom apartment in Torrance, lived there for less than a year. “They were always together.”

 

Bryan Clay, 18, said he once asked Mr. Mercer why he wore “a military get-up” every day.

 

“He kind of just didn’t want of talk about it” and changed the subject, Mr. Clay said.

 

“He didn’t say anything about himself,” he added.

 

Mr. Mercer appeared to have sought community on the Internet. A picture of him holding a rifle appeared on a MySpace page with a post expressing a deep interest in the Irish Republican Army. It included footage from the conflict in Northern Ireland set to “The Men Behind the Wire,” an Irish republican song, and several pictures of gunmen in black balaclavas. Another picture showed the front page of An Phoblacht, the party newspaper of Sinn Fein, the former political wing of the I.R.A.


 

A picture of Mr. Mercer also appeared on a long-dormant dating website profile registered in Los Angeles. On it, he described himself as an “introvert” with a dislike for “organized religion.”

Here are the images from Mercer’s MySpace page...

...here is the above mentioned "Spiritual Passions" profile...

...and here is a review penned by someone with the same username (IRONCROSS45) after purchasing Nazi attire:

According to reports, Mercer's professed "dislike for organized religion" led him to "target" Christians, although the chilling details presented below may simply indicate that Mercer was attempting to terrorize his victims before killing them. Via CNN:

The gunman who opened fire at Oregon's Umpqua Community College singled out Christians, according to the father of a wounded student.

 

Before going into spinal surgery, Anastasia Boylan told her father the gunman entered her classroom firing.

 

"I've been waiting to do this for years," the gunman told the professor teaching the class. He shot him point blank, Boylan recounted.

 

Others were hit too, she told her family.

 

Everyone in the classroom dropped to the ground.

 

The gunman, while reloading his handgun, ordered the students to stand up and asked if they were Christians, Boylan told her family.

 

"And they would stand up and he said, 'Good, because you're a Christian, you're going to see God in just about one second,'" Boylan's father, Stacy, told CNN, relaying her account.

 

"And then he shot and killed them."

Mercer's blog posts, which were penned under the name "lithium_love" have apparently been removed (see here) but here are some excerpts via CNN and via another blogger who copied the entries before they were taken down. The first two paragraphs reference Virginia shooter Vester Flanagan:

I have noticed that so many people like him are all alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are. A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day. Seems the more people you kill, the more you're in the limelight.

 

And I have to say, anyone who knew him could have seen this coming. People like him have nothing left to live for, and the only thing left to do is lash out at a society that has abandoned them.

 

I just read about the houston cop shooting. Figured I’d post this since the response to my previous blog post on vester flanagan was so interesting. On the houston shooting it was reported that the suspect was influenced by black lives matter protests/movement. Although I don’t know if thats true, with all the issues about police and blacks/protestors in the news the past couple of years, it certainly seems like someone would be inspired to take action. With the constant chants of anti police rhetoric this was bound to happen. I don’t disagree that police brutality and excessive use of force is a problem, but killing an officer that never did anything to you is not the answer.

 

This whole event seems similar to the one in new york earlier this year where that guy killed those two cops sitting in a parked car. The inflammatory rhetoric on both sides, whether warranted or not will only continue to agitate the situation and events such as these will happen more and more. These are just my thoughts on the matter. Will continue to post more blogs on related subjects, as well any interesting thoughts I may have.

We'll leave it to readers to draw their own conclusions as to what this says about race relations in America, religion, the copy cat effect, and the outright disintegration of society. We close by noting that sadly, we doubt this is the last time we'll find ourselves profiling someone who carries out a mass shooting and we leave you with the following rather unnerving bit from The New York Times piece excerpted above:

In the offline world, Mr. Mercer’s mother sought to protect him from all manner of neighborhood annoyances, former neighbors in Torrance said, from loud children and barking dogs to household pests. Once, neighbors said, she went door-to-door with a petition to get the landlord to exterminate cockroaches in her apartment, saying they bothered her son.

 

“She said, ‘My son is dealing with some mental issues, and the roaches are really irritating him,’ ” Julia Winstead, 55, said.

Why do mass shootings in the U.S. always happen in gun free zones?

My question was everyone there on drugs?  Just watched an interview and it seems everyone was complying with his commands as he picked them off one by one. WTF?

Does anyone not have the fight or flight reaction anymore?

This reminds me of those ISIS beheadings where the victim calmly waits to have their heads cut off.  

Either that or this is a simple unique snowflake coming to grips with being just another rotting bag of meat and was trying SSRIs to take the edge off.

The rifle in his photos is a Ruger 10/22.  No doubt CNN is reporting that a 10/22 is "a type of assault rifle."  It doesn't even have a gas block, which rules out semi-automatic except for blowback (i.e. .22lr, .22wmr, .17hmr)

My 10/22 is appropriate for massacres..  of rodents.

But let’s see.. zombie killer, no sports, shaved head, lives with parents, owns guns. military and IRA graphics on personal page, never in the military (?), Nazi memorabilia but mixed race,  compulsive dieter, owns guns…

Nope, nothing to see here..

Probably no more of a threat than a Bostonian Chechen refugee on welfare

(the teetotaler thing would certainly tip ME off though..)

( and certainly not worth checking out whether there was an SSRI prescription to go along with all of that.)

You can always tell the race/religion of the shooter by how quickly details come out about them. White Republican Christian means details are instant. Anything else the details are sparse and trickle out slowly.

Didn't take them long to sketch up  the desired narrative.

Gunman held anti-government beliefs, source says

Investigators believe that Chris Harper Mercer, the gunman in the Oregon college shooting, was a hate-filled individual with anti-government and conspiracy tendencies, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the probe said Friday.

Mercer's communications and activities suggest he was supportive of the white supremacist agenda and opposed organized religion, said the source, who did not want to be named because of the ongoing investigation.

The 26-year-old gunman, who was killed in an exchange of gunfire with law enforcement officers, also liked to discuss military history, the source said. Authorities have obtained some of his writings and a note he left behind.

Interesting interview with neighbor.

"I saw him almost eveyday when I came home from work. He would be talking with and playing with the same two kids age 3-4 at the swingset. Everyday a guy would come down and talk to him and he would get up and leave. He was very skitish, looking over his shoulder and that"

guy seemed to me to have no agenda.

He lived alone with this mother, and they both kept to themselves.

There's a simple solution to this, surprised no one has even realized it.

Take the south, build a giant ass wall around it, nobody allowed in. Remove all safety regs - seat belt laws, traffic laws, smoking, toxic waste dumping etc. - all the shit that is oppressin dose southern liberty lovers. Make all weapons within totally legal, no weapons allowed to shoot out or the whole place gets nuked (sorry guys). And of course no internet to the outside world, don't want to corrupt dem chile's mindz.

Finally, set up video cams all over the place so the world can enjoy the comedy and pay royalties (will cover cost of wall etc.).

This way the rest of the world can avoid hearing (outside of a strictly for comedy context) these dumbass conspiracy theories and retarded 'gun free zone' bullshit and bonus: liberty lovers can stop crying about liberals oppressin' 'em

Oh and we'll never have to listen to those idiotic claims about science again. Creationism, 7000 years old, all science is bullshit - the entire college curriculum.

Maybe call the place Americanistan. A new christian republic for liberty!

It's a win-win-win.

Deal?

No guarantee of clarity if all you do is stretch. You can stretch the human mind (including your own) into pretty much any shape you want.

A better approach is to ask yourself: "what am I doing, and why am I doing it?

Epiphanies are dangerous things. Better to come at the truth gradually. It's really not something you can rush, and the shock may be your undoing.

Tyler is the first name of a grade-school bully that use to pick on Chuck Palahniuk's older sister. His sister grew up in Laurel Valley hippy scene and was a notorious CIA/MKULTRA asset. She became involved in Le Droit Humain - the International Order of Freemasonry - and ascended to the 31st degree before some type of falling out with the Shriners. She was quite insane but a brilliant chemist and is credited with discovering an entire class of extremely visco-elastic polymers, one of which became Silly Putty and another of which was used to make Super Balls and gaskets for the space shuttle. Upon her death from a suspected ketamine and 'shroom overdose, police were horrified to find the mummified remains of a dismembered adult Tyler, her old grade-school bully, in the rafters of her mansion. Each one was wrapped in fleur-de-lis printed calico (mercerized cotton) and arranged in perfect north-south alignment. Stretch your f'king mind INDEED.

My personal prediction is that the real target for these shootings is actually internet privacy rights and regulation. 

It is only a matter of time before the MSM raises the fact that this guy posted on 4chan anonymously. There will be a subsequent call for banning annonymous usernames and God-knows what else from internet privacy rights.

The agenda must move onward

Aryan? He self-identifies as being of mixed race. I wonder what mixture he was. His father was interviewed briefly and spoke with an accent.

He was also confused (conservative is incompatible with socialist, national or international) and needed to learn the difference between 'their' and 'there'. If some teacher had just taken the time to teach him properly, he probably wouldn't have been so twisted. I blame it all on the school system for failing to instill proper self-esteem.

Seems no one blames Hollywood violence anymore but I think it's a big contributor. Maleable young minds see these violent movies and what do you expect? It look like "fun" in the movies to mow down a bunch of people but in real life it's very sick.

 

Hollywood should be more accountable. However, since the Movie Moguls contribute Millions to the Dems you won't hear a peep out of O'Bama about them.

Pastoral scenes and soothing music just don't draw them to the box office like they used to.  The way violence is glorified on the screens, big and small, has a lot to do with people's perception of guns.  Hell, many people learn all they know about guns from the tee-vee and inter-tubes.

The entire story is suspect especially out of that source,  they got trolled yesterday by the internet into reporting all sorts of fake stuff but even taking it at its face just another of the same story we always see.  Able bodied young male with nothing to do and no friends wants to make his mark on the world.  

 

This is in many ways the fault of the system, get rid of minimum wage would be a start to fix this.  Busy with a job / learning a trade can give one a dream and a goal outside hopeless stagnation and unemployement.   Also I haven't heard yet how many drugs this kid was perscribed and which ones.  A weirdo like this is almost guarnteed to have some ADHD diagnosis or depression or something, SSRI is in most of these kids.

10/22’s can get really scary LOOKING, but an AR or AK is preferable if things go beyond the optics.

Ya, thats def a 10/22, the picture actually looks like the stock I have on mine. ANd ya, in the right hands, a 22 can do some damage, but if your only goal is to kill as many people as possible, its doubtful that would be your weapon of choice. And I have seen those drums, but the ONLY time Ive ever had any issues with that rifle is when Ive been using non-ruger made mags, so i mostly stick to them. The butler creek ones with steel lips are OK, but, again, Ive never had a single problem with it when using ruger factory mags. Funny thing is, I NEVER strip and clean the thing either. I run a barrel snake through it, and lock the bolt to the rear, put some break free on a rag, and rub it around the bolt face and inside of the gun, takes me all of 2 minutes. All you gotta do with those things. great little rifles.

Agreed, but the last gun I would trust my life on is a rimfire 10/22 with those jank magazines.

My SIG 522 at least feeds every 22LR I feed it and it's still not something I would want as my primary weapon.

Ive mentioned this on here before, but unless its a government building, (which obviously this school is) those "gun free zone" signs don't mean shit. look up the laws where you live, but in florida anyway, a movie theater, mall or whatever, that deosn't allow guns can only ask you to leave the premises. Those signs carry no force of law whatsoever. Refuse to leave, and you can be arrested for tresspassin(which would be doubly bad since you also have gun while doing it) but as long as you leave if you are told to by an employee, you can't be charged with anything. I doubt many of yall are still in school, but every one must, from time to time, go into a building tht says "no guns", but that doesn't actually mean anything down here

I agree Clint. A sexually prime male who watched for years all the chicks showing their stuff, and walking off from the bar every night with a different cool dude to fuck, a guy can only take so much.

Knowing he will never get decent pussy, never, he begins to go crazy. With nothing left to lose, he takes up the gun.

Young men are subject to more humiliation than some guys can take. When rejection by women is your everyday experience, this badly raised and education youth are prime killers.

"A guy can only take so much"

Set your sights too high and yeah, you won't get laid. Take a reality check and ask the plain Jane out and see what happens. That guy doesn't look so bad that a woman in his situation wouldn't take him up. Look around you. Most couples out there fall in that category. They settled, and if they were smart, worked on making it work. Compromise, man. It's what normal adults do.

There's something else at work here. Rejection only sends you over the edge if you're predisposed.

addendum:

If sexual frustration is the driving factor, then you should see a lot more of this in China and Islamic States. Access to women is a real problem there, but you don't see anything like the degree of crazy shit you get stateside. Something else is at work here. My money's on psychoactive prescription drugs combined with bad genetics and bad environment, in that order. Media sensationalism doesn't help much either. Gives them ideas, is what.

Pods,

When dealing with situations involving other specieis, we are hard wired for fight-or-flight, as is commonly taught. When dealing with a same species encounter, we are programmed with four choices; fight-or-flight in addition to submit-or-dominate.

Clearly these were all young people who never mentally prepared themselves for something bad happening (Oregon is pretty hippy) or weren't predisposed to confront violence.

"Does anyone not have the fight or flight reaction anymore?"

This guy, Chris Mintz, took seven bullets trying to stop the guy.

So at least some people fight back. I think the issue is the authroties have literally spent decades doing the PR campaign that the best thing a victim can do is to comply with demands and not fight back -- you hear that over and over again with robberies, for example. We see how well that worked out on 9/11 and in this case.

The best course of action is to fight back violently and without hesitation, of course, but doing do undermines the power of the police, etc. Most likely at the point-blank ranges the guy was working at, it would only take two or three people to take him down if he were alone -- can't shoot three people at once.

But you got paid regularly for good information. I mean the expenses were a little bit out of the ordinary and it was really questioned. Don't tell Nancy I told you this. [Nancy Floyd is another FBI Special Agent who worked with Emad A. Salem in his informant capacity.]
FBI undercover agent Emad A. Salem: Well, I have to tell her of course.
Anticev: Well then, if you have to, you have to.
Salem: Yeah, I mean because the lady was being honest and I was being honest and everything was submitted with a receipt and now it's questionable.
Anticev: It's not questionable, it's like a little out of the ordinary.
Salem: Okay. Alright. I don't think it was. If that's what you think guys, fine, but I don't think that because we was start already building the bomb which is went off in the World Trade Center. It was built by supervising supervision from the Bureau and the D.A. and we was all informed about it and we know that the bomb start to be built. By who? By your confidential informant.

Or when the global media had to scramble for 7 days straight to get a new narrative on Syria. Yea this shooting was right on time.

Also, is there any other kind of shooter than "active"? 

"Active shooter", seems redundant.

Well he quickly became a Dead shooter, so I guess Active means something.

Begs the question.  During the event he was called an active shooter.

That and the fact he was "neutralized".

Who would actually talk like that except on a bruce willis movie.

I used to know a SWAT team guy, he was really brainwashed and he said to me

"They call it neutralize, that's fucked up, isn't it??"

they train them that way, its not kill.

Adds a little distance between conscience and action.

Helps with sleeping nights too, I would guess.
