Chris Harper-Mercer: Shooter who killed 10 'was Nazi fanatic who supported the IRA'
Express ^ | 10-1-2015 | Tom Parfitt

EXCLUSIVE: THE shooter who killed at least 10 people at a US college has been identified as 26-year-old Chris Harper-Mercer, who appeared to have bought Nazi paraphernalia online and supported the IRA.

In disturbing images posted online, Harper-Mercer posed with guns and shared pro-IRA newspaper front pages, an Express.co.uk investigation has found.

He also posted a three-minute video on the social networking site MySpace featuring IRA fighters branding guns and wearing balaclavas.

On his dating profile on the website Spiritual Passions, he wrote that he "doesn't like organised religion".

His username on the dating site was ironcross45 – a possible reference to the Iron Cross, a German military symbol reintroduced by the Nazis.

A user with the same name spent almost £100 on a Nazi SS officers' cap on a different website over two years ago.

In a review posted online, the user wrote: "I have received my order. The customer service is the very best, they are fast and very great to work with.

"I highly recommend this company they are a great pleasure to work with. there attention to detail is awesome.

"i will continue to make purchases from this company. i am very impressed with there products/service and highly recommend them. thanks Steve"

It is not known whether Harper-Mercer attended Umpqua Community College in Oregon, where the shooting took place.

He was armed with three handguns and an AR-15-style long gun, and was killed after a shootout with police on the scene yesterday, according to reports.

In his dating profile he described himself as "Not Religious, Not Religious, but Spiritual".

He described himself as a "lover, conservative, professional, intellectual, introvert" – and under his interests listed the “internet, killing zombies, movies, music, reading".

Harper Mercer also said he was "mixed race", did not drink and was a "conservative, Republican".

He also appeared to write a blog post hosted on a torrent site about Vester Flanagan, who shot two journalists live on air in late August.

He reportedly wrote: "I have noticed that so many people like him are all alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are.

"A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day.

"Seems the more people you kill, the more your’re [sic] in the limelight."

The most recent torrent uploaded by the account username was a BBC documentary about the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting, according to Gawker.

I am kind of laughing at this point. Yes, I know it is a terrible situation.

But 4chan has the media spinning their wheels. It will be hard to find out what is accurate.

This guy is doxing with photos

I think all,this looks either hacked, and altered or a hoax.
My Space has been abandoned for years and he is 26 and he had IRA links .
The IRA has been dormant for 15 years

It would be nice if the fedgov would track down and prosecute these crapheads for hacking and interfering with an investigation.

The “fedgov” folks are probably the ones doing this. They’re very bad at it. There is some kind of cover up going on, here. If 4chan kiddies are doing this, they will be in serious trouble, and they know it.

http://www.dailybreeze.com/general-news/20151001/oregon-shooting-suspect-chris-harper-mercer-lived-in-torrance-graduated-from-switzer-center

Lists of Daily Breeze graduates from 2009 showed Harper-Mercer graduated from the Switzer Learning Center in Torrance with four other students. Switzer teaches students with learning disabilities and emotional issues.

A former behavioral aide at Switzer, who did not want her name used, said the majority of the students are usually from foster, low income, and single parent homes. Some of these students were kicked out of other schools, or had been in trouble with the law.

I have already seen some of the details published by the MSM. Will they retract when proved untrue? I doubt it.
