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.

>> says he self-identifies as a “conservative” Republican.

Well, he demonstrated himself to be something quite different.

When will the media pick up this more-direct connection?

So, do these people shoot up offices and schools to further Obama’s gun control agenda?

That, of course, is a component of these mass murders. In addition, the other aim of hussein's regime is to exterminate Christians which is why this thug asked each of his victims to identify their religion before his cold-blooded act.

IRA or Muslim Connection might lead him to shoot up people not of that religion.

No Conservative EVER would kill Christians and then demand to know before shooting them if they are Christian or not..the site was hacked, this guy was supposedly a Black Lives Matter supporter who wanted to kill whites and Jews

I need to hear that he’s a Conservative from a reliable source otherwise it’s BS.

I have seen a pic of him.

He looks 100%.

No wonder the media is not mentioning race.

If he was white, the media would be pouncing on him.

The left has been telling us that there is no such thing as a conservative, republican black guy. And, now, the only one (according to them) is a mass shooter. Right.

I think some of the books are being cooked.

But, there is this:

Muslims hate Jews
Nazis hate Jews
He says he is spiritual and he lists “occult”
He had two friends, one radical Muslim, one possibly occultist
He liked killing, which is an odd thing to put on your dating profile along with being a non drinker, non drug user, conservative republican. Some of that stuff does not match up. Suspicious. I would think any female would flee at the sight of his liking killing.

I think he clearly genuinely liked killing. As for admiring the IRA and Nazis, it appears he also admired killers. His questions to his victims reveals he at least hated Christians. He probably hated Jews, too, given that he admired Nazis.
