Breaking: Umpqua Shooter Was Not a Republican
Bad Blue ^ | 10/02/2015 | Ryan Girdusky

Posted on 10/02/2015 11:26:46 AM PDT by conservativejoy

Thursday’s horrific mass murder at Umpqua Community College in Oregon has everyone looking for answers and motives to how a young man became a monster–and some are jumping too quickly to conclusions.

Naturally, the media and other liberals have claimed the shooter, Chris Harper-Mercer, a 26-year-old, biracial man, was a Republican

At one point in his life, Mercer tagged himself as a Republican on his dating profile. Within hours after the shooting, CBS, Raw Story, Mediate, Heavy, The Daily Beast, and scores of Twitter users pounced all over this apparent revelation.

However, Red Alert Politics has discovered Mercer was in fact not a Republican or Democrat. He was a registered in Oregon as an Independent.

Oregon is a closed primary state, so registered Independents can not vote in the primaries of either party.

Here’s a screenshot of Mercer’s registration from the Oregon Secretary of State, after searching through his name and birthday – July 26, 1989. His full address has been blacked out in respect of the police investigation.

You can’t make it up. It really is a mental disease.

Or maybe he was trying to get "hits" from decent conservative women, possibly with an ugly ulterior motive.

Quite possible. He could have also done it on purpose knowing conservative republicans would be blamed. At this point, I think anything is possible including deliberately setting up a false narrative to turn Americans against the 2nd Amendment. It's not the first time the leftist establishment has tried this (Fast & Furious) and I'm sure it won't be the last.

You all will have to forgive my skepticism but it is in the right place and my Spidey senses is calling BS on the whole conservative republican narrative.

If anyone has seen how the leftists have gone nuts on social media, comment sections, messageboards pushing the perp being a "conservative republican", it so reminds me of when they were pushing the Youtube video for the Benghazi tragedy. The reactions of the left is so eerily similar.

Turns out the shooter was not republican and an extreme anti-Christian. I do know some conservatives that aren't Christian but they don't hate them to the point of putting a gun to a Christian's head and pulling the trigger. This perp was an extremist of some kind and NOT the conservative republican extremist, the left is trying to paint him now.

From the delay of announcing the perp's name, to the pResident out there screaming gun control, to the democrat congressional delegation getting in front of cameras and blaming republicans for not allowing more gun control, to the reaction of the whole leftist establishment trying to push the "conservative republican" meme, the whole reaction to this tragedy seems like it was all set up to help push for more gun control. Like I said, we've seen this before like in Fast & Furious and Benghazi.

You can thank Conservative Treehouse as they noted to use caution in believing his dating profile was real or not.

https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://spiritualpassions.com/seeme/ironcross45.html

Maybe there is some webpage developers here that can explain something I found with the 10 snapshots the Way Back Machine took of the shooters dating profile webpage. From my understanding is, the original dating site profile had not changed according to the snapshots. When I checked each snapshot it seems nothing had changed but when I right-clicked on the snapshot webpage and clicked on View Page Info in Firefox I noticed each one of those pages had been modified on Oct 2nd, 2015 but all the times were different. The times were as follows:

08:25:21 PM CDT

08:26:55 PM CDT

08:27:52 PM CDT

08:28:30 PM CDT

08:29:22 PM CDT

08:30:29 PM CDT

08:32:13 PM CDT

08:33:26 PM CDT

08:34:11 PM CDT

08:34:51 PM CDT

The webpage modified times don't even coincide with the times the Way Back Machine or Archives.org claims to have made the snapshots. If the original dating site hadn't been modified, then why is it showing the Way Back Machine snapshot webpages showing in the webpage info, they have been modified?

Thanks in advance,

CGato

People with hyphenated names aren’t taken seriously and they all appear to have serious character flaws.

Just an observation.

Yep, we could also check the California voter reg. Need the former Torrance, Kali home address. He’s likely still on the rolls.

This story is already forgotten just one day later. I don’t know what everyone was so worked up over.

“Republican” was added to his profile AFTER he was already dead. Site was amended five times before being pulled.

It said modified but I was off a day. I thought yesterday was Oct. 3rd for some reason. Others were claiming the profile webpage had been changed before it was deleted. I also read claims that the profile hadn’t existed very long so I was trying to figure out how they knew or if you could figure that out looking at the page info.
