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

A country with one of the lowest murder rates in the world is Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, the table omits murder committed by the government.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
In Europe there many people we would like to get rid of but because of strict gun comtrols we have to put up with them.
But, how's the muslim rape culture working out?
And, of course by the next century will there actually be any white Europeans left or will they have been bred out of existance?
Bit hard to establish cause-and-effect, no? Could be the underlying mental problems that causes a person to go berserk. He may have been receiving drugs to help manage mental problems. Maybe the drugs are not that effective or he was off it. Brain chemistry is still largely a mystery :(
Finally, someone who can think instead of parroting shit they read off the internet.
..and more rehtoric that more guns will fix the problem. Some how guns are the problem and the solution. Why look beyond what led to this, especially since his posting on the Houston police shooting shows that he has some higher cognitive thinking going on, but lets attack and defend guns. So in otherwords, expect this to happen again as the US population stays polorized at each others throats.
Dead men tell no tales.
Dead men and that kid who is still alive, but had his throat, his voice-box cut out after he was taken into custody.
Never trust any man with two last names
+1
Two last names: likely from a divorced family with an narcissist feminist mother.
Also, note the "Looking for a woman." I remember when I was 24, little dating experience, and no wife prospects (my wife met me right before I turned 25). I didn't have the violent streak, but I was certainly depressed and dreaded talking with my family since the first question is "Find a girl yet?"
In the American view, being over 18 without a girlfriend to bang makes you a LOSER, and everyone, including your own family, is shaming you constantly to get a girlfriend. It's no surprise to me that there are no studies done on the anti-social behavior this combination of pressure to find a woman, along with the notion that making a woman even the tiniest bit uncomfortable.
Turn the clock back 100 years, let this kid grow up with both parents and more sane/less FUBAR values, and let the townspeople help put him together with an acceptable wife. He'd be just fine and happy with his life, and things would not have ended this way.
That a typical American can't connect these inhuman actions with the inhuman society that we live in, just surprises me.
Yeah, our society has broken down pretty bad. Add in the use of psychotic drugs and stuff like this isn't that surprising. Some of the things the kid posted seemed lucid and anti-violence yet here we are.
I think they should release as much info on the mother since she did such a bang up job with her son.
Destroy the family and own the education system. The perfect plan to run/own the world.
That was the plan of Hitler Stalin and Castro, and now the American left
goes back more than 100 years in 'Merica.
Never trust a man you can blind fold with a shoe lace
That's lacist.
...or the left-handed.
No, that's not sarcasm.
It's the way we set the table isn't it? Forks on the wrong side, gets my wife every time.
Sinister.
No jobs, bastard kids, low income families are the breeding ground for these white kids to do this shit.
An armed society is a polite society.
you are onto something. I go on up the ladder of thought and almost ALWAYS, I GET TO THE FED...
Keep climbing. The kid was studying the ONLY righteous army(IRA) willing to fight the cocksucking brits, who incidentally are the root of all EVIL!
REMEMBER AMERICA why you came here!
The IRA was an invention of the British Crown just like ISIS is an invention of the CIA.
And, why is that you ask?
To keep boots on the ground in Northern Ireland.
Wouldn't want the Crown to lose control of the Emerald Isle now would we?
Can't have those drunken paddies in control of their own lives anymore than than the Scotts.
Irishman here.
Just to let you know Irish Republicanism was a British invention. All the head guys were Anglo-Irish Protestant or Presbyterian. Tone, Emmet, McCracken, Butt, and so on. The foot soldiers were mostly useful idiot Catholics who fell for it, but all the head guys were in the pay of the British. Irish Republicanism was like ISIS or Al Qaeda - a setup which allowed the British to impose the Act of Union on Ireland and maintain a presence on the island right up to the present day. Terrorism is the excuse they make to pursue their geopolitical ends. Create the enemy and then impose the solution.
And if you still don't believe me, take a look at Sean MacStiofan, an Englishman christened John Stephenson who had no connection with Ireland but for his Belfast Presbyterian mother. He was the man who put the modern, much more violent and much more militant IRA on the path it took in the early 70s. Massive bombing campaigns, shootings etc. An Englishman who changed his name so he could pretend to be an Irish Republican. Not an Irish Catholic in other words.
Got that? Good.
Edit: just seen Pure Evil's reply below. Same analysis. Nice one PE.
Hey yea The Pope runs the Federal Reserve too.
"Pure Bullshit" and you need to stop with the misinformed rhetoric. Ah but wait, then you'd be unemployed. Woops.
Next time hold your comment until I ask you for it.
"Just to let you know Irish Republicanism was a British invention"

That mi5/6 and sas used insiders and traitors etc especially INLA is beyond doubt.
But your statement is fucking absurd.
Irish Republicanism in some form preceded the english.
Brian Boru was the first Republican {at least viewed a certain way}.

My guess is neither you nor Amish lives in Ireland. Obviously it follows that neither of you lives in a Republican area of Ireland. And I suspect neither of you ever had close and sustained contact with real IRA men, men who had been shot during the conflict, men who had done the shooting during the conflict.
But do carry on. I'm sure you know it all from over there.
He wasn't a whtie kid. He was mixed race. He may not even have any 'white' in him for all you know.
Bullshit!!! A conservative republican would not shoot Christians. Period.
"Left Hand Path Club" 'I hate Organized Religion Club", "Vegan", "Wiccan""...yep. typical "right wing Christian republican"
I'm a conservative republican but not a Christian, although I'm not crazy either.
Yep, I saw that on the Internet so I'm sure that you're not crazy ;-)

Bwahahahah...oh that is RICH. Tell me, what color of lead-paint chips did you enjoy eating as a child?....Im betting institutional green...
If you haven't learned by now, let me spell it out for you, Idiots come in all shapes, sizes, creeds, colors and affiliations politically. For you to be just oh-so-sure that one of your repub-Homies wouldnt do such a thing shows a level of stupidity usually reserved for members of congress.....
Bwahahaha, you think we are republican!!! If you are buying any part of the official story here, then you are the idiot.
Nope...I never voted Nazi...
It's partial-5th-grade graduates such as yourself trying so desperately to fit a fucked-up tragedy to your own personal narrative that I'm tired of. Fricking idiots that see a conspiracy behind everything that happens and then waste all our time espousing how one of a particular group/affiliation just couldn't do something...just because.
The SECOND you saw "Republican" that was it...it's all a conspiracy...Go back to FOX and let them tell you what happened then go back to your fear-bunker...
Again, fucking idiots abound around us...all shapes/sizes/creeds.....
"Go back to FOX...." Haven't had teevee in two years, sparky. Mark these words: As the official story of this hoax falls apart, it will disappear from MSM. Then they will stage another one, and dupes like you will beg the government to disarm us.
Lessee here...the RPK, 1911, Remington Pump, .44 Mag and other assorted goodies I have ain't leaving my hands till Im worm-food.
Theres a real interesting theory called Occams Razor you should look into...
Now was this a carefully thought out conspiracy of Govt/Illuminati/Israel/Aliens/Russia/CIA/NSA/NINJAS and an individual working together for months to make this happen..
-or-
A fucking idiot that couldn't get laid trying desperately to get some attention for himself?
Saying you're waiting for the entire "official Story" to collapse speaks volumes about you.
Bud, Sirhan Sirhan still doesn't know what happened. MKULTRA is a facsist government's best friend.
If you voted for the Democrats then you have voted NAZI.
If you voted for the Republicans then you have voted NAZI.
There is NO DIFFERENCE between the two wings of the same NAZI Party.
Next...When a Government has been demonstrated to have consistently LIED TO YOU, or WHEN ANYBODY HAS CONSISTENTLY LIED TO YOU for that matter, then to look at any report uttered out of their LYING LIPS with a heavy dose of SKEPTICISM is not only warranted but is PRUDENT.
You must not have raised Teenagers.
Well, I've voted once in my life...at 18....that was 30 Years ago....never since.
Now, you ALMOST hit the point with your teenager comment...the entire generation of Teens and kids we've rasied today are de-nutted narcissists more interested in selfies and their Facebook pages than being part of a Society in General.
Now, take a kid who doesnt fit in because of his race, has no friends, can't get laid and has access to a WWW full of wonderful nonsence and has no life-experience of knowing how to actually deal with a problem or an inconveneince to the rest of us and you get what we experienced.
On the flip-side you have a guy who's an Army-Vet and a Dad who HAS learned how to be a human in Society who sees this idiot shooting....AND HE RUNS IN TO FIGHT.
There may be conspiracies out there...nut if we continue to take EVERY incident and try to fold it into a narrative it dilutes the actual REAL problems and pulls them from our focus. Wheat meet chaff....
You omit from your analysis that the source is controlled/ captured MSM. The MSM is a policy tool for our fascists.
Well, Team Depends, some are slow to understand your satire in your first post.
It is both fortunate and unfortunate that the Drudgereport brought many readers over here.
They are still deluded and think that there is a difference between the Red Team and the Blue Team when there is not.
So we have to suffer a bit while they come to the realization that Government is the root of the entire problem and that anarchocapitalism is the IDEAL...if they ever come to that realization.
So suffer the fools...There may still be a chance that they awaken. However I would not count on that. It is far too late.
I do not believe in any forthcming "solution" as we degenerate into chaos and, following that, an absolute tyrannical oligarchy.
Tis unfortunate that pragmatism trumps youthful idealism. Yet that is the reality.
idiot.
Article from Truthstream Media: http://truthstreammedia.com/2015/10/01/another-mass-shooting-just-in-tim...
Russia is currently punking the Pentagon in Syria.
There's a pattern to these shootings. Not conclusive, but a pattern for sure.
Also, the DJIA is back at 16,000 and likely to test the August lows. Slow news days at the start of the week with a dramatic conclusion on Friday!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia
Apophenia /æp??fi?ni?/ is the human tendency to perceive meaningful patterns within random data.
I explicitly stated that it's "not conclusive," but pattern recognition is a key component of intelligence and survival.
While pattern recognition IS, as you say a sign of intelligence. Our own brains WILL make incorrect connections/connotations based upon datasets. Whats important is to separate the wheat from the chaff per-se, thats where most fail.
I am curious however as to what end you feel these "Patterns" fit. Whats the End game for all thsi?
Just that it's a pattern worthy of consideration -- flipping the script to deflect attention -- that requires more evidence of corroboration before I'd elevate it to an assertion.
I am curious however as to what end you feel these "Patterns" fit. Whats the End game for all thsi?
The first principle is to abandon feeling when using Pattern Recognition.
It is not about emotion. It is about LOGIC, Mathematical Interpolation and Mathematical Extrapolation.
That is the reason why you fail at Pattern Recognition. Your own words expose that inherent failure...within yourself.
And your hypotheis is that LOGICALLY there is a pattern here?
You're talking over the heads of 2/3 of the people here these days.
keep doing it, though.
Another hoax.
Time to rid our Capital of the satanic Talmud/papist Organized Crime sexual deviants' pretending to be leaders of Our Nation.

Great catch and I up voted you.

Not to be persnickety but I believe it is customary to include "fudgepackers" in the epithetic barrage.
Thanks for your consideration.
He never mentions the space lizards.
I wonder why.
hmmmmm
SSRI link yet? Show me the meds.
Funny but we rarely get that information. I would put money on it though.

You'd put money on taking the gold out of your grandmothers teeth.
the product of our rotting decaying dying society
So is he alive or dead? I love how the "official" stories changes about 27 times after these incidents.
TRAGIC JEWLATTO
The Scandinavian habit of leaving your parent's house as soon as this becomes financially possible - regardless of how good your relationship with your parents is - appears to be a healthy mindset.
i asked my parents to change the locks , ha
no door hit my ass.
luv them to death though...
I'm a Cheap Bastard but I would never think of living with my parents.
Always worked, always independent and always felt good about it.
Try being a working stiff in a major metropolis like LA. You can work 60 hours and still have trouble living independently. If it's parents or roommates why not go with family. These days the parents likely appreciate the help...
Your kids already dream of emulating him.
Kids in our community are building their own homes when they turn 16. Sure it's on the back 80 but they mill their own beams and dimensional lumber. They also drill their water well with a team of 6 Percheron.
Put them to work early America. Problem solved.
.
more than just unfortunate for a man
so freak fuckS don't kill, but guns do.
over my dead body first.
packen for the day i get to fucken head shot some fuckin freak like this, dream on, wake up...
back to minden my business, avoiden people in general, because PEOPLE SUCK...
You sound like an absolute gem of a human being.
ESL Graduate....
Obama said it best. It's an American phenomenon. The problem is most of you limp wrists cannot figure out why and that is why your country is doomed.
The Amish will live on, unleveraged, sovereign, and ready to dead any fucker who comes looking for welfare OR looking to "print and manage a currency" for us.
Roaches? So they had a bunch of politicians running around?
Has the socialist jew media ever accused a kneegrow of a hate crime against a white? Why is this shooter "mixed race" but Obama is black? The socialist jew media race baiters need to be put down.
You just know something is off by looking at these photos. Mentally stable gun owners don't post pictures of themselves standing with their gun on the net. Anthony Weiner posted photos of himself with his gun and something was clearly off with him, too.
This is my rifle
This is my gun ...
Starting to look like these little monsters the . Gov sub contractors are working are getting away from them. Kinda like those Isis ones did
1. Mixed race (never quite fit in with blacks or whites)
2. Lonely (pent-up libidinal forces)
3. "Spiritual Beliefs"
4. Obsessed w/ militaria, yet not in military
Compounding probabilities...
Don't forget "Daddy Issues" - Poppa was British so naturually he idolized the IRA.
Don't forget "Classic loser" - Lived with Mommy, she always called him "Baby"...this clown could be Norman Bates!
Don't forget "Can't get laid" - No girlfriend...whats not to like? Weird, quiet, shaved head...likes to wear cammo...just screams "dream hunk", eh?
Not sure about your "Spiritual Beliefs" point - he appears to loath believers, particularly Christians.
Self-described on his profile with the whole "not religious, but spiritual" thing. Aka, "I masturbate MOAR on the solstices."
"Spiritual beliefs" means that he wants the warm fuzzies associated with religious experience, but with none of the responsibility and hard truth that comes from actual religion. Fake pastors like Joel Osteen or 'spiritual' people like Oprah make millions on this sort of "God owes you a good life because you are just that awesome!" message.
I remember a part of my own conversion experience involved having to accept that the reason the world is such an evil place is because evil people like me were all over the place. I doubt our subject for today had the 'spiritual' mindset that he needed to "pull the log out of his eye before dealing with the spec in his brother's eye."
Maybe I see where you're going with lonely and militaristic, but mixed race and spiritual? Seems like a stretch. What do those two topics have do with a mass shooting?
They're just trying to cover all the bases.
He's spiritual but kills any Christian. Was it the Wiccan influence?
Some computer algorithm really went FULL RETARD on this bio.
I always wonder whey such shooters never shoot Church officials... which would be much more effective kind of a war with an organised religion.
One essential component of my multi-threaded approach to solving this shooting epidemic is to publicly slowly burn alive the parents of the perpetrator. This will create a very strong incentive for the breeders of these psychopaths to take a greater involvement in the outcome of their body fluid exchange, ie actually do some parenting vs just copulating.
My philosophy is: If you created it, then you are responsible for it."responsibility" ... "accountability"... and so on. They are some of the things that made Americ great.
Lack of them at almost all levels now is a classic sign of decay.
Sadly, within certain areas of the country, the Nanny State gladly takes responsibility. Both parents at work and they can't be home for an hour or two to supervise their kids? A nosy neighbor can call Child Protective Services or maybe da Po-leece and voila! Nanny State to the rescue, taking away the sproggs(en) to Foster Care, then the parent(s) have to go to Court. In another situation, a school (I think in the People's Republic of California) now mandates their charges (the children) be picked up by a specific time or they are turned over to CPS in their state. So our tax money goes for that arrogant shit? I bet it won't happen to many minorities more than a few times before someone goes Postal on that fucked up school.
People who do not have ALL the necessary qualifications (intelligence, education/training, morals, judgement, etc) and resources (income, time, etc) required for successfully creating responsible successful additional members of society SHOULD *NOT* BE BREEDING AT ALL - rather than using their lack of qualifications and resources as an excuse for contributing more burdens to society.
I like that fact that you don't shy away from solutions that, while some might consider them potentially harsh, go to the heart of the problem, gives everyone involved a fresh start and leverages community stakeholder equity in finding a resolution that respects the LGBT community.
I may have read a bit more into your response than you intended but I think I see that in there.
Sounds like a charming young man.
Obviously his white half did the killing.
So, the media would lead us to believe.
Not very informed about (little o) orthodox Chistian beliefs on seeing God. For anyone interested, the most pleasurable way to gain this knowledge is an aria from Handel's Messiah: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg7aXEvCeXY
Protect yourself = conceal carry. Don't be the victim of some moronic clown.
Ruger SP101 .357, you'll find me at the range monthly.
Gold Bitchez....I pick up pennies
CZ 75 Compact if I'm slumming or P229 SAS for out on the town.
1911 Colt Commander...
Because if you can't do it in 7-rounds...you shouldn't be shooting...
Pitchfork, (5) 16 inch tines, with 54" hickory handle sanded smooth with 600 grit and finish with a oil based polyurethane.
like CZ stuff. seems solid and dependable
STRONGLY agree.
I carry a .50 cal Desert Eagle on my body plus 12ga tactical autoloader and M1A sniper (both with optical/infrared illuminators and sights/scopes) in my vehicle, plus night-vision headset, body armor, 2 cans Alaskan bear spray (the 10in tall ones that have a range of 20+ ft).
Am hoping that I am in range when one of the traditional psychos or islamic cult wackos goes hostile so I can put these suppression tools to good use.
Bear Spray didn't save that kayak, prolly the 6 inch was all she could handle.
And, it happens in a gun free zone. Had a student or instructor been carrying, there may have been ONE fatality - Mercer.
We are setting ourselves up for this 'tradition' of mass shootings by creating these gun free zones. Crazy people are like water - seek path of least resistance.
SSRI user?
Exactly my question! You beat me to it. Did this guy use or withdraw from any SSRI's? His inner-self is clearly the type to be affected if SSRI use is there, just as Charleston, et al..
Gun Zones are a well-intentioned lihbuhrul thing that works only for law abiders, but nutcases like that shooter don't follow rules! Utahans can legally carry on their college campuses, and collegiate Texans will join them in a few months.
Finally, I'm surprised the affected students didn't try to gang up en masse on the scumbag. I remember the line "Let's Roll" from 9/11. Now it's Halloween making an early arrival.
Well, it seems our educational system has successfully neutered the young men of the country. All talk of violence and guns are banned from discussion, must act like sheep or be put on SSRI's to turn you in to sheep. Self defense training frowned upon as unenlightened, rough housing frowned upon, normal obnoxious boy behaviors medicated away, etc.
The ZWO powers that be have been working their plan for at least 70 years. Apparently it has been wildly successful.
It sounds like Chris Harper Mercer had an Anti-Christian motive.
So, which flag do we now demonize and take down to symbolize our disapproval. I can hardly wait for Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Louis Farrakhan to enlighten us on that.
Is Walmart going to stop selling combat style boots and army fatigues?

Please end gun free zones

Also know as Target Rich Environments.
That's quite a lot of information to gather in such a short time; reads like a scripted playbook. Any reliable sources see the dead bodies?

I think the thing that stands out the most to me, beyond the fact that he is clearly fucked up, is that he was able to reload and talk at the same time without anybody doing a damn thing. The kids of the U.S have been so sheltered that they really have become sheep to be slaughtered. I sure hope I taught my kids better.
Completely agree. There was one former military guy who tried to do something, so I'll give kudos to this guy and his mil training.

Same kudos applies to team america taking that shooter down the french train shooter.
Real Americans nut up and crack skulls in the clutch. This nation has been way too pussified. We need more critically-thinking, trained Americans to act decisively (and frequently with lethal force) whenever they see bullshit occurring.
Agree 100% however those same saviours will face being shot by trigger-happy cops at the scene or sued by the relatives of the attacker or even the attacker!
Absolutely! I would have rushed him as soon as the magazine was popped (and hoped that someone else would from another angle). He did have several weapons on him, from what I read. But the the time for him to drop and draw would have been enough time to risk a less accurate hit to grab him and hopfully get him on the ground. I say this, not being in shock during the moment, with the doubt of hummility. It's what I would want and have trained to do.
gun free zone, or he'd have been taken out before getting off first shot. That's apparently what TPTB want to happen - they invite these mass shootings with those gun free zones.
Precisely what I was thinking. I'm no hero but if he's within 10 feet loading a gun I'm rushing him, especially if it's obvious no one is getting out alive. If he's further than that, I'm running not cowering on the floor. Of course that's easy to say sitting here and not being there, but I just can't imagine patiently waiting in terror while some psycho goes down the line poppin off.
I'm no hero either, and I've certainly never been in that situation. But, I've been around guns long enough to know that when the heat is on your accuracy is a lot lower. When I take my kids out shooting I make them understand this, and I don't allow them to just sit and plink at targets. They also have to learn to fight because it is a dangerous world out there.
We used to practice with three or four guys shooting at the same time, with hot brass hitting you. You learn to ignore it with time and stay on target, but it is hard to do. I did OK, but it is not easy.
This was a mentally deranged nigger drone. He could have been rushed and pummeled to death. I would have stuck his own pistol in his mouth and blown his head off, just like when I was in combat. Then I would have cut off his dick and stuffed it in his mouth. If I could get away with it, I would have cut his ears off for my old necklass.

Dont forget to show his mother.
I suppose its an issue of training, or timescales. I have been in some scary situations and always froze for a few seconds while trying to understand what was going on.
Have you ever had a pack of big unleashed dogs stop to sniff you on a sidewalk while their irresponsible owner looks at them thinking they are oh so cute?
My thoughts exactly Doc
My kids are armed and taught to run to the gunfire and stop it.
There's really no reason to wait for him to stop to reload. Throw what you got and come in behind it.
OTOH I presume "reload" means change magazines, takes two seconds, while he has another loaded gun sitting beside him.
So he used online names of "IRONCROSS45" and "lithium_love". Lithium is used as a drug to treat both Bipolar and Schizoaffective disorders. Mental illness really blows, but somehow it looks to me like his real motivation was that he felt disaffected, and was on a short term power trip with a known end in mind.
Note to future similar styled A$$wipes: Go into bankers offices and do this, not schools.
In some months we will discover that he's passed a heavy Ritalin treatment in his schooltime...
Another lockdown drill gone sour. Wait until the emails start surfacing. Hillary will look like a golf ball washer.
She only washes labias with her tongue.
What a complete dork. Why couldn't he have directed his anger inside one of the "too big to fail" banks?
These Drones are not programmed to do that.
Another hyper religious lunatic.
THESE PRETZELS ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY!!!!!!!!!!
Great. Next the religious Right cites a war on religion as further justification for everyone to be armed to stop these incidents. As if they needed another reason.
Christians - especially white male Christians - are the one group the mainstream news media, the Hollywood film makers, and the politicians all ridicule, insult, belittle, defame, disparage, mock, harass, and abuse without hesitation, without fear, and without consequence. And it's getting worse year after year.
Should we really be surprised when some head case decides to take it to the next level?
This country is mentally ill.
You are overstating the problem. Arm up and kill the motherfuckers. Use a drop piece, and be aware of CCTV.
Which psychiatric drugs had he been on?
his username was Lithium_Love
Probably lithium carbonate.....is actually a salt and is prescribed for manic-depressives......you have to have your liver monitored when you are on it depending on the dosage....
FWIW,
5mg of orotate or aspertate is good for you, not the pharma trash.
worked with a gal in the military that was stationed in AK. when daylight was at it's lowest, folks started getting wacko.
the military first put them in tanning booths, then if that wasn't successful prescribed lithium.

Mixed Race.
Identifies as black.
The mainstream media is already calling him white.
Fucking lulz.
White hispanics .... white blacks .... just drop the word white before anything and then it's obvious what the true root of the problem is. POSident obama even did it with his "white grandma" ... as opposed to the normal one, you know.
The fact that he was living with his mother - a black woman - implies that his self perception is black.
