Chris Harper-Mercer: Shooter who killed 10 'was Nazi fanatic who supported the IRA'
Express ^ | 10-1-2015 | Tom Parfitt

EXCLUSIVE: THE shooter who killed at least 10 people at a US college has been identified as 26-year-old Chris Harper-Mercer, who appeared to have bought Nazi paraphernalia online and supported the IRA.

In disturbing images posted online, Harper-Mercer posed with guns and shared pro-IRA newspaper front pages, an Express.co.uk investigation has found.

He also posted a three-minute video on the social networking site MySpace featuring IRA fighters branding guns and wearing balaclavas.

On his dating profile on the website Spiritual Passions, he wrote that he "doesn't like organised religion".

His username on the dating site was ironcross45 – a possible reference to the Iron Cross, a German military symbol reintroduced by the Nazis.

A user with the same name spent almost £100 on a Nazi SS officers' cap on a different website over two years ago.

In a review posted online, the user wrote: "I have received my order. The customer service is the very best, they are fast and very great to work with.

"I highly recommend this company they are a great pleasure to work with. there attention to detail is awesome.

"i will continue to make purchases from this company. i am very impressed with there products/service and highly recommend them. thanks Steve"

It is not known whether Harper-Mercer attended Umpqua Community College in Oregon, where the shooting took place.

He was armed with three handguns and an AR-15-style long gun, and was killed after a shootout with police on the scene yesterday, according to reports.

In his dating profile he described himself as "Not Religious, Not Religious, but Spiritual".

He described himself as a "lover, conservative, professional, intellectual, introvert" – and under his interests listed the “internet, killing zombies, movies, music, reading".

Harper Mercer also said he was "mixed race", did not drink and was a "conservative, Republican".

He also appeared to write a blog post hosted on a torrent site about Vester Flanagan, who shot two journalists live on air in late August.

He reportedly wrote: "I have noticed that so many people like him are all alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are.

"A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day.

"Seems the more people you kill, the more your’re [sic] in the limelight."

The most recent torrent uploaded by the account username was a BBC documentary about the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting, according to Gawker.

Early reports said he was being held by the police. Also that he asked the students what religion they were.

Now it seems everything has changed. Presto Chango?

I would assume so, but I am not going to research it for you. I googled “hacker busted obstruction justice” and got a lot of hits (including the guy that opened up Sarah Palin’s private email to the world).

When I looked at it, the name was Chris Figgalola or whatever how you spell that stupid name.

Saw the same thing you did. Comment had his name with the link to the Figgalopola site. That appears to be a fictitious name. I did trace that image and the flag to this site (http://www.cascadianow.org/about-cascadia/in-the-press/cascadia-rising/).

The flag was designed by Alexander Baretich who is a self-described “guerrilla teacher” who takes over empty rooms at community colleges to deliver classes on “Memetic Cascadia.”

Link him to Chris "Figgalopola" Harper-Mercer and it could be the killer posted that comment back in August. Seems like a whole lotta changes being made tonight to anything connected to this killer.

Fox news should be ALL OVER this IF that is what happened- keep pounding the message that someone has changed the info to make it look like a conservative is to blame- - Get the evidence- and look into possible prosecutions if possible

Here are the photos of terrorists that were on the MySpace page of Mercer’s friend, Mahmoud Ali Ehsani. Scroll down a little.

Well...fake republicans and fake conservatives are generally found on every street corner. Toss in fake journalists and fake foundation experts who appear on chat shows. In this guy’s case, I’d even question that he was a Nazi....he probably faked that as well, and just was a plain nutcase (to the fourth degree).

AR-57 would work - 50 round mag & pistols that use the same ammo.
