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

Posted on 12/14/2013 7:31:09 AM PST by jimbo123

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.

Yes. What is interesting is that every response to my comment has said something I had noted mentally before I commented. I think we all know the drill at this point and we’re all tired of it. Sadly too many people will fall for the MSM/Dem spin on this story.

You may be right.

And why is this thing more common these days than back in my day?

Maybe it has to do with Liberal conditioning that people are owed everything and everyone is a victim.

Back in my day, school was a lot tougher and there was plenty of bullying from the teachers and fellow students.

And kids weren’t shooting each other? You just toughed it out or leaned to fight. People left you alone if you knew how to fight.

I’m not sure he was bullied so much as bullying. He got so out of line on the debating team that the teacher kicked him off the team - and then he threatened to kill the teacher. This was the same teacher he came back and tried to kill yesterday.

He had a serious lefty anger problem. Many leftists are very angry people.

I wonder if the teacher told the school authorities about the threat at the time or if he covered up for the kid? It was the other kids on the debating team who told the press, I believe.

This kid most likely would have become a host on MNSBC if he hadn’t killed himself.

What are the odds the perps parents knew their Son’s password to his Facebook page in order to purge his Lefty comments, probably none.

I wouldn’t doubt that little girly man wussy Zuckerberg personally requested his Jackboots take care of it.

I’ve been picking up on little hints the left will orchestrate violence with the illegals over amnesty so naturally it has to be blamed on the TEA Party and right wing extremist denying them their “dream” of a better life.

I’m expecting the MSM to take every opportunity to blame the right for pushing people to violence.

In the words of Jackamo Jackson “it’s a re-BELL-e-ion, a rev-a-loow-cei-on, an UP-a-risin.

I’m also expecting a repeat of what followed after Maxine Waters said the same thing in 1992 with the R King race riots and Jackamo Jackson said it in late 2000 early 2001 with Bush stole the election, there will be a major terrorist attack.

Not to mention in 1995 and again in 2010 when the left claimed the “right wing extremist” were out to overthrow the govt., terrorist attack followed both.

Watching the video here makes me think the teacher was warned and advised to leave the school, so he did.

So his very strong beliefs in gun laws overcame any belief he had in Colorado laws —so he violated the law ,attempted murder,and committed suicide because he felt so strongly about gun control— yupper he must had progressive Parents and could not have been a Christian.

One of the most important and consistant characteristics of leftists is that they are unhappy people.

Here is a monogram by John Ray who studied the psycology of leftists during his academic career:

The Motivations of Political Legists

Well he used “Republicans” in a sentence: “I hate Republicans” and “Republicans” equals “Tea party” therefore it is the Tea parties fault. You see? It’s very simple.

He once drank tea, ergo, he’s a tea partier.

This murder of innocents by a liberal is another sad reality why liberals shouldn’t own guns or be around them:

In 1865 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.

In 1963 a radical left wing communist shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States.

In 1975 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States.

In 1981 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan.

In 1984 James Huberty a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant.

In 1986 Patrick Sherril a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office.

In 1990 James Pough a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office.

In 1991 George Hennard a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 23 people in a Lubys cafeteria.

In 1995 James Daniel Simpson a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 5 coworkers in a Texas laboratory.

In 1999 Larry Asbrook a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 8 people at a church service.

In 2001 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US.

In 2003 Douglas Williams a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 7 people at a Lockheed Martin plant.

In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung - Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech .

In 2011 a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The pot smoking Loughner killed 6 and wounded 18 in another liberal shooting tragedy.

In 2011 a registered Democrat named James Holmes went into a Colorado movie theater and shot and killed 12 people.

In 2012 Andrew Engeldinger a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis.

On 9/16/2013, another mentally ill liberal, Aaron Alexis, killed 12 innocents at the Navy Yard in Washington DC.

One could go on, but you get the point, even if the media does not.

Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats having guns.
No NRA members, No Tea Party members, or No Republican conservatives are/were involved.

SOLUTION: It should be illegal for any Democrats to own guns or be near a gun.

That's a good definition of the word "Combative". There is no word compative, which is what Past Your Eyes meant to say.

Yep I knew this too. My original comment was intended to see how many people think using logic. So far the comments are 100% logical. But then this is a conservative site for the most part.

"Law Enforcement Officers"

Lately they've been upgraded again, they're now Revenue Enhancement Officers.

Maybe we can't ban liberalism outright, but we sure can enact some basic restrictions on things like liberal "assault opinions". Nobody needs an assault opinion to conduct a conversation around the water cooler at work. I've had enough! How about you?

LOL - Yummy payback thinking... Too bad our people aren't as stupid as democrats...

I’m stealing this list Dave, and printing it for a handout in my friendly neighborhood discussions with local Rats.

It's way past time in this country to enact some commonsense liberal control laws. For example, a child -- a child! -- can listen to Chris Matthews.

Forgot to mention how much I enjoyed your comment... Thanks for sharing.
