Oregon college shooter was a friendless oddball who had frequent temper tantrums, no friends..

Oregon shooter Chris Harper-Mercer was a 'paranoid' and 'childlike' character who circled his neighborhood on a bicycle and 'freaked out' at the smallest things, former neighbors of the mass killer have revealed.

In one incident the 26-year-old threw a fit when he suspected someone had slashed the tires on his bicycle.

He was so angry that he 'freaked out like it was the end of the world' and screamed profanities at the top of his voice outside his home at an apartment block in Torrance, California.

I didn’t know he was BLACK until yesterday!! The media NEVER showed his face....wonder why?

Because people would notice that he was Obama's mini-me.

It probably doesn’t apply to anyone here but if this oddball was a native Brit, I note among Native Brits themselves, there is an amount of atheism. This guy I understand was an atheist. This is not to knock other Brits who have a healthy Christian background.

There are no pics of mom. Her sister is an attorney in San Francisco.

Dad works in a bagel shop. His pics are on the net.

What were those problems? Was it with authority? Was it something with comprehension or retention? Was it self-control?

Probably something to do with not eating pork, and wanting to kneel facing Mecca 5 times a day, and shouting "Death to Christians, like president Obama says!".

The sister being an attorney may be why there is nothing on the mother. She might have told mother to keep her mouth shut and stay out of the media. It is a smart thing to do .

I believe the article left off that he was also on the suspected terrorist list.

We should mail that list to the Hate House, and the Christian killer who lives there.

According to reports which, at this point in time, are unreliable at best he was born in Britain but was moved to America long before British culture would have any impact on his behavior.

The father, being reported as British.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Look at the a** on her.’ Ian Mercer, father of Oregon college shooter, was sued for sexually harassing a male co-worker at his LA bagel shop and creating a ‘hostile’ work environment

Ian Mercer, 55, was sued for making sexual comments about customers and staff while manager of Noah’s Bagels in Thousand Oaks
Brett McDonald filed the lawsuit in 2008 charging the mass killer’s father harassed, inappropriately touched and embarrassed him
McDonald says Mercer massaged his shoulders, placed his hands on his chest, shoulders and waist’, court documents claim
‘Look at the a** on her’: Mercer was also accused of making inappropriate comments about a customer’s ‘hot’ daughter
McDonald says when he filed complaints with senior management he was unjustly fired

Mom is a black nurse.

Dad was a white Brit who took off, not in the picture.

Obama’s Mini-Me, he even hated Christians like Obama.


In his book, mixed race obama had issues too. He didn’t know where he fit.

Obama didn’t know if he as black or white. He didn’t know if he was Christian, atheist, or muslim. He doesn’t even know if he’s straight, homosexual, or bi. He did have a tranny for a nanny. He didn’t know if he was Kenyan, Indonesian, or American.

Personally, I believe this guy had a lot of issues like obama.

Reading about another mentally ill young man, who only communicated with other mentally ill young men on websites dedicated to mentally illl young men, it seems only fitting that we blame 1) their families for not warning society that there is a potential.killer on the loose, mysteriously able to buy multiple guns and ammo while having no job; 2) liberals who whine that we are incarcerating the mentally ill instead of putting them into therapy, where doctors can get them on powerful, mind-altering drugs, until they run amok

Had these mentally ill young men been locked up, they wouldn’t be fantasizing about fame on websites and sponging off their parents while hatching plans for armed attacks in classrooms, theaters, hospitals and other Gun Free areas. And many of their victims would have had a future.
We are almost as crazy as the killers for putting up with this insane state of affairs run by liberal “experts,” who obviously know nothing about the power of evil.

He had 13 guns. Perhaps gun shops shouldn’t sell to anyone who drives there on his bicycle.

If this is the aunt’s Linkedin it may be why family social media was scrubbed so quickly.

Sounds like he might have been on the autism spectrum. The tantrums sound like he had no flexibility. That is one strong symptom of autism, being unable to cope with any even small changes in anything. The wrong bread on a sandwich. A cockroach. Anything.

Because 95% of people with autism are not cruel or violent, we can’t say that autism causes violence. HOWEVER, people with autism have a hard time coping with life. Some few might grow chips on their shoulders and get ideas that one final way of coping with a world they don’t understand or fit into is to exit the world in a blaze of gunfire.

What I’m saying is that unattached youths do these mass murders, and it is easier for youths with autism to feel unattached.

I am stunned that we as a society don’t do more to prevent autism. Measles and chickenpox are not scourges or tragedies in America. School shootings are. Let’s help more of our youths approach their young adulthood with more of their neurological systems functioning. Now around one child in every preschool class shows clear signs of autism. We need to remove every neurological agent added to our babies’ lives NOW. No carrageenan, msg, fake colors and flavors, vaccines, antibiotics (except for life threatening situations). No more toxic plastic furniture, carpet, flooring. No rancid seed oils, no treated clothing. No lotions or creams that aren’t pure enough to be edible. We need our kids to be able to use their own brains.

Arm the schools, first, and protect our kids’ brains, second.
