Was the Oregon mass shooting an Islamist attempt to assassinate Skarlatos? (not coincidence)

Was last week's massacre at Umpqua Community College in Oregon a failed attempt to assassinate a Christian American hero for thwarting a Muslim terrorist train attack this summer in France?

There may simply be a series of unlikely coincidences at play, or there may be circumstantial evidence suggesting that anti-jihadist hero Alek Skarlatos was an intended target of Chris Harper-Mercer, who put several Christians to death in an Umpqua classroom on Thursday, Oct. 1 for being Christian.

Read on and decide for yourself if Harper-Mercer may have wanted to make an example of Skarlatos for the world to see.

And although no evidence revealed thus far directly indicates Harper-Mercer was influenced by Islamic State, plenty of evidence suggests the shooter was acting in furtherance of the Islamic goal of global jihad. Maybe the massacre was intended as a kind of jihadist payback hit.

Islamic State (a.k.a. ISIS, ISIL, and Daesh) apparently claimed responsibility on Twitter for the killings Harper-Mercer carried out at Umpqua. The tweet states, "Again #Oregon #USA #WashingtonDC #IslamicState #ISIS #USA[,]" and displays a graphic with the words “Slay Americans” in front of an image of a man in the process of being beheaded.

Skarlatos is in rehearsals for “Dancing With The Stars”. He wouldn’t have been on campus that day.

Where are the Muslim/Islamic leaders denouncing this atrocity in Oregon?

There aren’t any?

Tell me all I need to know.

He was enrolled for the semester but dropped because of Dancing With the Stars.

I read he was scheduled to be on campus, if not for DWTS. And, in the same building where the shootings occurred, IIRC.

“Yes, next question.”

The Obama regime can create any profile they want about
anyone with the express help of the main stream media.
Someone could be a raving jehad lunatic and they can paint
a completely different picture about who and what they are.
If the Obama can successfully hide his identity from the
world then whats to stop him from altering or completely
changing someone else s, especially if they are dead.

I’d say you have a 98% chance of being right.

He told interviewers that he'd been told about the shooting while practicing for the show. So he wasn't scheduled to be there that day.

It’s too much of a coincidence with the school being attacked and this one here. The war is here now, on our front doorstep.

Yes. Skarlatos himself told interviewers that he learned of the shooting during a practice session for "DWTS" so I highly doubt he had classes scheduled there that day. In fact another poster mentioned that he isn't registered for the current semester, also because of the TV show gig.

A Black Muslim guy KILLED Christians, and no major media reports that.

So the shooter somehow knew that he had enrolled at the school (not only the fact that he had enrolled, but also the time and location of his classes), but did not know that he was appearing on a highly-rated national TV show (and thus would not be attending the school)? Seems highly unlikely.

It may be. You know, however, there is a thread of something going on in this country that implies another intelligence at work. I have a close acquaintance with someone who has taken the place of one of the contract officers shot during the Navy Yard shooting a few years back. Now that I have a much better idea of just what they are contracting for, it seems more unlikely that the attack was just a random effort by a deranged man who heard voices, and just happened to have access to the facility.

If we were to look back through history and examine scenario after scenario, they would often seem totally unbelievable if written into a work of fiction. Keep your ears pricked and nose up. I'm betting there is more to come.

Islamic jighadis are rabid murderers. Nobody said they were intelligent enough to peel a banana.
