In a staggering twist of logic, the father of Umpqua Community College killer Christopher Harper-Mercer is blaming guns, rather than his son, for the bloody killing spree that ended with nine innocent people dead.

In an interview with CNN, Ian Mercer claims he doesn’t blame guns, then spends much of the interview refuting that assertion. Mercer does not indicate that he believes his son was solely responsible for the massacre.

Christopher Mercer's Parents

On the left is the selfie Christopher Mercer uploaded to his social media.
On the right is how CNN presented the same selfie in broadcast stories about him.

• Why did CNN need to change the complexion (color) of their broadcast?
• Why is no-one showing pictures of mom, Laurel Margaret Harper.
• Why change to hyphenated name? Real name is Christopher Sean Mercer. Media using Christopher Harper-Mercer and Chris Harper-Mercer. nothing to see here

Follow Up to THIS STORY Several months ago we shared the story of Eric Sheppard Jr. a radical “Black Lives Matter”, “F**k The Police” and Islamic radical who used a philosophy of black supremacy similar to the New Black Panthers. Sheppard gained brief notoriety when he held a U.S. Flag Stomping event at Valdosta State University. After his public exposure, and after the police filed a warrant for his arrest on firearms violations, and after he mailed a racist manifesto to a local Georgia Newspaper – while on the run, he was finally arrested in Tampa Florida by U.S. Marshals. Eric Sheppard’s story disappeared from the headlines and never resurfaced. Shepard 1 Valdosta State University chris harper mercer

However, everything to do with that production has been scrubbed and deleted.  Including the FaceBook page (since deleted) But visible on Cache HERE and more HERE.

Being part of an Umpqua college production class and performance etc. would run counter to the seemingly preferred media narrative of Chris Harper-Mercer being a loner, no?

Indeed if you were to look for information about Chris Harper-Mercer even being enrolled as a student at Umpqua you might even find contradictions and obfuscations about it.  It seems rather odd that only foreign publications even make note of this fact:

“But he was listed as a “production assistant” in a Facebook post promoting a performance of a Noel Coward play by the school’s drama group” (link) ~ British

“Police think Mercer may have been a student at Umpqua because he was found with a receipt from the campus bookstore showing he had purchased textbooks.” (link) ~ Canadian

While generally there will always be a “fog” about events, as something happens and people rush around trying to identify the full story, one would think it would be really easy to determine if Mercer was a student, and what classes he was specifically enrolled for.

Then there’s this little snippet which might clear all of this up:

Stacy Boylan said his daughter told him the man “gave somebody a box, somebody who lived, and said, ‘You gotta deliver this.’ Somebody has a box. I don’t know what that’s about.”

Law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation told CNN that the gunman handed his writings to a survivor, telling that person to give it to police, but the sources could not confirm the writings were inside the box. (link)

So apparently Mercer has given a “manifesto” (another similarity to E. Sheppard Jr) to a surviving student of the shooting.

Summary:  The immediate on-line web history of Chris Harper-Mercer showed him to be a mixed-race, angry young man in general alignment with various radical racially aligned groups such as Black Lives Matter, Fuck The Police and Fuck Yo Flag – all of which carry a sentiment of favorability and ideological alignment with Islam which was similarly evident in the Ferguson protest movement.

[ Against this backdrop shooting “White” “Christians” makes sense. ]

However, in the course of several hours (one media cycle) – the media narrative is selling a profile of a loner, mentally disturbed individual without any mention of his previous writings (deleted/changed), behaviors (hidden) and social tendencies (ignored).

Why?

Perhaps the answer lies within the response to the shooting from the White House where President Obama took quickly to the microphones to decry another school shooting without fully understanding the motive and intent.

Mercer’s possible motive and intent would now represent a political embarrassment against the backdrop of Obama’s speech if it aligns with something other than needed.

Feel free to dump your additional reviews of information in the comments section.  This entire thing is BEYOND SKETCHY

Good grief! It appears that CNN even re-shaped the guy’s nose in addition to bleaching him.

Maybe he should go commune with Andy Parker. And go live in NYC where they would both be happy.

These people are tiresome.

[doc maverick]

Yes, let the jihad savages go and kill Christians in Roseburg and knock all talk of Netanyahu’s speech out of the news and then use the massacre to tout disarming Americans.
He must be livid that his ISIS rebel group is being pounded by Putin so we pay.
We had better be guarding our borders.
His refugee trojan horse is using it like the “refugees” trying to go through the eurotunnel......only our border is purposely WIDE OPEN!

Why doesnt idiotic MADD blame cars for drunk driving?

This kills far more people than guns each year.

Why dont parents blame water for childrens drowning deaths? I mean its the water that kills them by preventing breathing.

We do not see this crap pulled by knife deaths, beating deaths, stranging deaths. Just gun deaths. Thats the outrage and the tool is villianized.

Its the same myopic hypocrisy why black on black murder, which over 93% of all black murders are, dont spark any outrage at the black community, but only the white on black - generally self-defense killings - get hyped as the worst thing in the world.

Good catch !

Been out of the range of media all weekend. Why do we need a photo of the mother? We know from the neighbor in Torrance that she is African American.

[SkyDancer]

Yeah, like his gun kidnapped him, drove him to that campus and then shot those people without him doing anything about it. Evil guns do that just like SUV’s attack houses and other cars.

Now da boy wants to get involved in his son’s life. Sorry pops. You, not the guns are responsible for YOUR son’s actions. Where the hell were you? Take your 15 minutes and get the hell out of our lives.

[depressed in 06]

Clearly, the father is to blame.

[Chode]

or that it's on any psychotropic gun oil...

[so_real]

"That's what guns are," he stated. "The killers. It's as simple as that. It's black and white."

All clubs, axes, spears, arrows, rifles, cannons, bombs used to murder the innocent all have one thing in common : punks like his son.

[onedoug]

In other words, CNN consciously manipulated the image.

The gun is an inanimate object. It requires a human (or, sub-human, as in this case) to use or abuse it.
