People who knew Laurel Elizabeth Harper, 64, a certified nurse practitioner, said she and her son Chris were very close and spend a lot of time together. Laurel has been described as an overprotective mother who would frequently call her son ‘baby’ despite the fact that he was an adult, and would get involved in disputes over loud noises and at one point a cockroach infestation she said was keeping her son awake at night. Laurel Harper claimed she worked at the ABC family.

Back in the 60’s I supplemented my expenses while in college by working in a state mental hospital. It looked and was run very similarly to the bug house in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest. We kept locked up, psychotic individuals. In the early seventies the left insisted these people be let go as they have a right to be on the streets every bit as much as you or I.

Violent crazy people have been running rampant ever since.

It is odd how this whole incident isn’t mentioned on the boob tube much the last couple days.

Do we even know who the victims are other than the Mintz guy?

Who gives a crap about this murderer! While America is reading about this a$$ hole, the liberal socialist are moving to take Americans their firearms and trample the second amendment!

Prepare for battle and mobilize when necessary!

To hell with the murderer, personally I don't give a rats a$$ abut him, but I do care about my fellow Americans and their Constitutional rights!

I will not mention his name. But I will mention the name of the hero Chris Mintz. That’s how you do it, you cringing cowards. Fight to live! Fight!

The shooter in Connecticut had developmental disabilities as well. Why are the parents of these children & why are authorities allowing them to have guns? Seems like they need to be turned down in their background check.

But why so many in just the past 7 years? One might come to the conclusion it’s coordinated? Next thing you know they’ll be shipping guns down Ol’ Mexico way to come back across the border for something no good.

Harper-Mercer found a home of sorts at the Umpqua Community College Theater Arts Department. He worked as a set designer for the department's spring musical.

So he was gay?

"anti-religion"

I see they omitted any specific reference to Christianity. But in America, if you are "anti-religion" or "anti-organized religion" - particularly in a small town - you are almost certainly primarily referring to Christianity. There probably aren't many Buddhists of Hindus or Muslims in Roseburg.

We could probably agree that someone on Lithium should not have a firearm.

The problem is that once you throw the “mental health” constraint on gun ownership, you will find that shouting at the dog is deemed a mental health condition.

Add this shooter to the very long list of mass shooters who had no healthy father connection.

In fact, I’ll wager 100% have no healthy father connection. If we’re looking for predictors, there’s where to start looking.

I heard his Brit dad went homo, got sued for grabbing the derriers of other men, or perhaps just one man.

A darker picture emerged Friday of slain Umpqua Community College shooter Chris Harper-Mercer as a deeply troubled, anti-religion, anti-government recluse obsessed with guns.

...

I skimmed the article and I couldn’t find any evidence to support that he was anti-government or obsessed with guns. Maybe I missed it.

"Harper-Mercer"

A hyphenated last name? Poor kid. That often says a lot about the personality, beliefs and attitudes of one or both parents.

Worse case would be a tough childhood to recover from.

Guess he didn't.

I bet the 'parents' never lived together. Sofia said that she used to change Chris' diapers when she date the dad, which means that they wasn't married, or he was a Bill Clinton wanna be, unless Chris is diapered as an adult.

Chris went to a special school, but the mom let the kid have guns? Lady, didn't you thought you should get help for your son??

If he was truly “anti-government,” he would not have joined the army. The “anti-government” description is not supported in the article.
