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.

It was Obama himself who told the Obamajugend and union goons “I want you to argue with them and get in their face!”.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCMDur9CDZ4
Barack Obama tells a crowd of supporters - I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face!

And at a 2008 Democrat Rally:
http://www.factcheck.org/2011/01/obama-guns-and-the-untouchables/

Chozick, June 13, 2008: He [Obama] warned that the general election campaign could get ugly. “They’re going to try to scare people. They’re going to try to say that ‘that Obama is a scary guy,’ ” he said. A donor yelled out a deep accented “Don’t give in!”

“I won’t but that sounded pretty scary. You’re a tough guy,” Obama said.

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”

Time after time after time after time, these occurrences are being perpetrated by those with non conservative values or beliefs.
Libs never understand that THEY are the problems in society.

My theory is that they are going to prove how dangerous guns can be by killing a bunch of people.
They are sacrificing themselves and their victims to try and prove their point.

I take “strong beliefs in gun laws” as he supported them.

Yes on Howie Carr’s show yesterday they mentioned Kim Jung Un and the elimination of his uncle, who now would be purged from photos much like what happened in these pics with Stalin...these days that would be called photoshop.

Furthering their agenda through mutual gasification. It’s just as gratifying as mastibation for the lefty

I think the Denver paper said his family did (Bible study); maybe he also took part but another thread said he was an atheist. Maybe he will be portrayed as being bullied by his family into attending these classes despite being an atheist...

Well, he obviously wasn’t. But if you’re a liberal editor with no ethics it would be obvious that you’d portray him as a “troubled kid” (true) who was “obsessed with guns” (because he used one), and who had “extreme political views” (true, but from the Left, not the Right).

String the right words together, leave out anything “inconvenient” that does’t fit the narrative, and you’ve got it. Another day at the MSM office...

Cops aren't cops.

There certainly is the likelihood that Red State Troopers, and Red County Sheriff's Deputies are a whole different breed of cat, than the union-thug dog-shooters who are part of the average corrupt big-city RAT/mafia hack-0-rama.

You are so correct.

Liberals Are so full of hubris they will never admit when they are wrong, instead they double down on their failures and bad policies no matter what damage occurs. They will NEVER admit they are wrong.

I believe this is due to their lack of Christianity. They are not humble, they do not want to believe in GOD and so they have nobody to humble themselves to.

Since they think they are the highest power they refuse to change their ways or beliefs no matter what the facts tell them.

There is a book on the subject, with examples from Russia, Nazi Germany, Cuba, China, and North Vietnam.

If I recall, there is a knockoff book that essentially has the same photos, minus those from Cuba and North Vietnam. Perhaps that version was intended for an "international" (English) audience that doesn't have a problem with Cuba or North Vietnamese Communists.

The Commissar Vanishes does NOT have all of the content of the earlier Making People Disappear.

More than just people vanish, sometimes. Sometimes whole chapters do. Pot calling the kettle black.
