An Oregon pastor says a student who was spared by a gunman during a deadly rampage on a college campus received an envelope with a flash drive from the shooter and had to watch as his classmates were killed.

Randy Scroggins, whose daughter also survived Thursday's shooting at Umpqua Community College, spoke at his church Sunday as his daughter and the other student, 18-year-old Mathew Downing, sat together in the congregation. Scroggins' daughter Lacey had told him gunman Christopher Sean Harper-Mercer gave an envelope to another student in the class and told him to give it to police.

Still no verification if the manifesto was on the flash drive or not.

Manifesto? Like it would be coherent.

Nothing else in this guy’s life made sense, it is unlikely his reason will.

Did it go to the sheriff, or the FBI?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I’m sure the FBI has it.

“I’m sure the FBI has it.”

So, it was disappeared, then.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

They probably gave it to Homeland, just to be sure.

[DBrow]

NEVER publicize a “manifesto” from these jerks.

Break the cycle- MSM is complicit in recruiting these losers.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

If they didn’t, they would be out of business.

What a pleasant thought..

Are you saying a guy who knows so little about politics that he confuses the IRA (Irish Republican Army) with the NRA might not have a cogent argument?

Or that 'a Republican' who hates Christians might be a tad confused?

This is a guy the LA Times described as a 'white supremacists'... who's as black as Obama (one white parent - one black parent) ...

I'm guessing someone else wrote the screed for him... well, if it makes even mild sense.

Did he confuse the NRA with the IRA or was it some idiot who altered the site to make him a conservative Republican who doesn’t understand that the IRA or Irish Republican Army is not the same brand of republicanism?

[wrench]

My understanding is it was altered by the 4chan folks.

[GingisK]

Dead guy copied a phone video and then mailed it to someone he didn’t know?

"Despite identifying himself as a conservative, on his MySpace page, Harper-Mercer posted numerous photos of the Irish Republican Army’s provisional incarnation. That group was openly fighting for a Socialist Irish republic, which would be at odds with Harper-Mercer’s conservative leanings."

"Mercer forced his victims to identify their religion and shot the Christians in the head".

In any such case, give it to the internet first. Then give the police the URL.

[GOPJ]

I can’t get the link to work...

[ETL]

Sorry, looks like the article was taken down. I tried using another link that was supposed to go to it on that same site and it also said “page not found”.

[GOPJ]

Thanks for trying...
