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.

There is also a completely separate book on the subject that covers more current examples. I think the title had the phrases Photo Trickery or Deception/Deceptive...

Actually, the bigger story is the number of cop haters on FR.

Actually, the majority of people who dislike cops on Free Republic are the people who have been "contacted" by one or more of them since they ceased being "Peace Officers" and became "Law Enforcement Officers".

I wouldn't mind them at all if there were a lot fewer of them, they shared marked police cars and they stayed at their shop or the donut shop until called on to preserve the peace.

Okay, they're also going to have to stop the no-knock raids (at the right or wrong address) and shooting people's dogs.

Sure, let’s stick around and let him shoot me.

versus what???

Let me draw him outside and he can shoot me out there???

A student who stayed and confronted him gets shot, 2200 kids are forced to stay locked up with him in the school but the teacher who runs away is what??? the hero???

Ohhh yeh -- it was a tactical maneuver alright -- it's called run for your life -- something the other 2200 kids were not permitted to do and one student chose not to do.

Sounds like a fan of Alan Grayson.

Democrats are filling up prisons for violent crimes, not the Tea Party.

Speaking of 'missed tidbits' the FBI and Homeland Insecurity are missing the above too. Homeland and FBI are checking out Tea Partiers because both groups have become enforcement arms of the Democrat Party - and Obama.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Violent crimes are done by the Tea Party. Ignorance is strength.

I told my wife I’d bet he was bullied. This is a real conundrum for the left. They’re very concerned about bullying. So much that they’re willing to go way overboard. Now they have a kid who was bullied and tried to take matters into his on hands with a gun. AND HE HATES REPUBLICANS!

Sounds like he liberally took the law into his own hands, liberally decided that laws didn’t affect him, and he liberally took life from others. A conservative, when he has a beef with another person, just puts on the gloves and dukes it out in the school gym. A liberal on the other hand, shoots up the school.

Just like in real life. When a conservative doesn’t like a product, he/she just doesn’t buy it. When a liberal doesn’t like a product, they hold marches, signature drives and write laws so that no one can have the product.

How will Sissy Chrissy Matthews spin this one?

Expected from Ed Schultz: “Too bad he didn’t kill some tea baggers.”

It’s the TEA Party’s fault he wanted to kill them, to kill them all.

No I’m not joking.

I can guarantee the left wing loons claim will be “the ultra right wing extremist” are driving people to violence because they see no hope.

Not to mention the continued use by the TEA Party of the newly declared racist word OBAMACARE.

It expect it will be something similar to making excuses as to why muslims want to blow us up and it will evolve into one and the same.

We’ll never see this mentioned in the national MSM, ever.

Ever.

And they'll call you a racist if you mention it.

Eye witness says the kid would argue with everyone. He was right and everyone else wrong.

I guess you’ve never been targeted.
I was assaulted by two drunk off duty police officers while there wife’s cheered.
My crime was sitting on the wrong bench in a public park.

One of the guys is now city supervisor of city of Sonoma.

It's way past time in this country to enact some commonsense liberal control laws. For example, a child -- a child! -- can listen to Chris Matthews. There's no background check, no waiting period, no limit on the amount of MSNBC insanity he can spew, no government record of this poor innocent child having his thought processes irrevocably corrupted.

Maybe we can't ban liberalism outright, but we sure can enact some basic restrictions on things like liberal "assault opinions". Nobody needs an assault opinion to conduct a conversation around the water cooler at work.

I've had enough! How about you?

How is the left going to connect the perp to the Tea Party?

This article makes the connection, but it is a reverse connection. He didn't like Republicans and he was bullied. By inference, the bullying was done by Tea Party/the right/conservatives/Republicans.

Purdy slick, huh?

Truly sad. I hope that the girl comes out of it okay.

For all of the control nuts....

One statement: Joe Biden’s shotgun was used.

So much for assault weapons. Who knows, maybe they'll characterize shotguns as an assault weapons.
