Colorado teenage gunman had 'very strong beliefs about gun laws' and Republicans
NY Daily News ^ | 12/14/13 | DEBORAH HASTINGS

He was bullied for his outspoken opinions and didn't care much for Republicans.

Karl Pierson, 18, who stormed his Colorado high school brandishing a shotgun and bearing hatred for his debate coach, critically injured a 15-year-old fellow student before shooting himself to death Friday afternoon as he was cornered by heavily armed police.

"He had very strong beliefs about gun laws and stuff," said junior Abbey Skoda, who shared a class with Pierson during her freshmen year, The Denver Post reported. "I also heard he was bullied a lot."

After undergoing surgery Friday, the injured girl was listed in critical, but stable, condition on Saturday.

On his Facebook page, he seemed to make fun of Republicans, writing "you republicans are so cute" and posting an image that read: "The Republican Party: Health Care: Let 'em Die, Climate Change: Let 'em Die, Gun Violence: Let 'em Die, Women's Rights: Let 'em Die, More War: Let 'em Die. Is this really the side you want to be on?" The Denver Post reported.

On Saturday, his Facebook comments had been wiped from his page.

The left celebrates and encourages insanity.

Well, given that liberals lose a lot of arguments when logic is involved (debating team?) then there will be a lot of resulting violence.

But hey, he was bullied.

Or, he was taking Ambien.

Or something.

It was libtards like Bill Ayers that said it would be an act of violence NOT to lash out at the establishment during such time (to excuse his own violence).

All the killers have been democrats of children of Democrats... Odd how the New York Times and Washington Post have missed this one important tidbit.

Maybe rather than banning guns we should ban democrats.

How is the left going to connect the perp to the Tea Party?

Just repeatedly quote the headline "Colorado teenage gunman had 'very strong beliefs about gun laws' and Republicans" with subtle hints that he was opposed to gun laws and favored Republicans. There you have it: Crazed, gun-nut Republican kills student at school. (and don't mention that the only killing was his own suicide. shhhhh!)

Pretty much every one of these shooters has been a lib on ADD drugs. Liberalism is a mental disease.

Pray America is Waking

IMHO, anyone who lashes out at those that espouse acting within natural law and self-evident truths is functioning in the unnatural and self-imposed relative “truths”. This is either because or ignorance, mental illness, damaged tissue, drugs, any or all of these.

In one Facebook post, Pierson attacks the philosophies of economist Adam Smith, who through his invisible-hand theory pushed the notion that the free market was self-regulating. In another post, he describes himself as “Keynesian.”

Sure sounds like Obama voter...

CBS radio just reported that he went to Bible study classes.

We have a winner!

His hatred for Sarah Palin made him do it. SHE is responsible.

The mere existence of the Tea Party MADE him do it.

It’s somehow also Bush’s fault®.

Liberalism is a mental disorder and sometimes, one of ‘em gets hold of a gun.

Then you have crap like this.

I wish the “news” would cover the knifeman who stabbed four people outside of the Broncos game Thursday night. I’d like to know how he feels about Republicans and his “beliefs” about knife laws.

We need gun control laws for democrats aka STATISTS!

Democrats are filling up prisons for violent crimes, not the Tea Party.

Perp photo at link. Looks like a typical angry white gay high school liberal debate nerd.
