Centennial, Colorado (CNN) — “To many of his neighbors, Colorado school gunman Karl Pierson was the wholesome boy next door who liked achievement and ran on the cross country team. He even worked on an Eagle Scout project two years ago.”
“To schoolmates, Pierson was known for his outspoken intelligence that served him well on the debate team. But at times, he acted “weird” and alienated peers with rants about communism and his aggressiveness to win every argument, they said.”
“I did think he was a little weird, but I didn’t think he was, like, bad weird,” Stutz added. “He always kind of talked about how America was a communist country, how the government was, like, trying to take us over and stuff.”

“Pierson was reportedly a target of bullying, but did not show other students that it bothered him. He aspired to enter the U.S. Air Force Academy.”

Ranting about the govt becoming communist, about the govt wanting to take us over, wanting to join the eeevil military. Libs saying he has all the earmarks of a Tea Partier.
“Senior Chris Davis, 18, told CNN that Pierson was “a self-proclaimed communist, just wears Soviet shirts all the time.” The Wall Street Journal noted that Davis said Pierson once wore a shirt emblazoned with the letters U.S.S.R. and described himself as a communist.
An ABC News report noted that students said Pierson held communist views and liked to discuss current events and issues and pose his own solutions.”
When he talked about America supposedly becoming a communist country, it was probably something he was looking forward to.
