Meanwhile, Obama yammers about gun control as usual Report: Oregon shooter targeted Christians, railed against ‘organized religion’

Details are still emerging, and it’s impossible to make absolute statements at this point. But based on the statements of at least one eyewitness and some of the investigators on the case, Oregon shooter Christopher Harper Mercer not only railed against “organized religion” in his writings, but demanded that his victims state their religions before he opened fire.

I just read the article in the New York Times. I think your assessment is probably correct. Lots of parrallels to Adam Lanza. It'll be interesting to learn if he ever fit into a normal school environment, or held a job, how he got all those guns, or if he ever fit into any situation normal for his age. And what sort of mental evaluations he might have had in the past, or drugs prescribed.

This is he article I read

The guy fancied himself a Irish Republican Army member, it looks like he just wanted to associate with the party name “Republican”. So he is a another RINO if anything.

If it’s not already out there: Ann Coulter is on WMAL and just this minute said that the shooter’s mother is black, and “apparently” an immigrant.

The NY Times talks about the mother a lot apparently, but never gets around to these facts.

Shooter is mystery meat. Where was the nearest Confederate flag?

My question too. Is this because it was not a southern state or SC where the first shots were fired they never went after the flag, because they sure as hell were quick to find photo’s of the kid from years back having a confederate flag.

Since the shooter was against Christianity, maybe Obama will invite him to the White Haus like his friend Clockboy.

If Obama has an anti-Christian son...
