Colorado teenage gunman had 'very strong beliefs about gun laws' and Republicans
NY Daily News ^ | 12/14/13 | DEBORAH HASTINGS

He was bullied for his outspoken opinions and didn't care much for Republicans.

Karl Pierson, 18, who stormed his Colorado high school brandishing a shotgun and bearing hatred for his debate coach, critically injured a 15-year-old fellow student before shooting himself to death Friday afternoon as he was cornered by heavily armed police.

"He had very strong beliefs about gun laws and stuff," said junior Abbey Skoda, who shared a class with Pierson during her freshmen year, The Denver Post reported. "I also heard he was bullied a lot."

After undergoing surgery Friday, the injured girl was listed in critical, but stable, condition on Saturday.

On his Facebook page, he seemed to make fun of Republicans, writing "you republicans are so cute" and posting an image that read: "The Republican Party: Health Care: Let 'em Die, Climate Change: Let 'em Die, Gun Violence: Let 'em Die, Women's Rights: Let 'em Die, More War: Let 'em Die. Is this really the side you want to be on?" The Denver Post reported.

On Saturday, his Facebook comments had been wiped from his page.

Odd how it’s always liberal whackos that shoot up places. Of course it makes sense in the context of their not respecting the sanctity of life.

Time after time after time after time, these occurrences are being perpetrated by those with non conservative values or beliefs.

Libs never understand that THEY are the problems in society.

Oh so he was “bullied” by those nasty conservatives.

You could say he was the perfect liberal in the making. Lose an argument and resort to violence. Standard operating procedure of the left.

Tracy Murphy, the school's librarian and debate coach, was the target of Karl Pierson’s rampage, students said. He left campus, trying to lure the shooter away.

Trying to lure the shooter away??? Yeh -- right!

I'm sure that's debatable.

No, it's not.

Check out who is in power when major genocides are perpetrated.

Socialists and/or Islamicists.

I blame Chris Matthews, Michael Moore, Bill Maher, and Jon Stewart for this indoctrinated mind full of mush.P

Expected story from Chris Matthews: "The poor boy was so bullied by tea baggers that he turned the guns he so loathed against their advocates. If only he hadn't been so bullied by those evil tea baggers."
