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.

In my experiences, conservatives self-identify by saying “conservative” not “conservative Republican.”

I wonder what the mass shooting list on W Bush’s watch and on Obama’s watch look like side by side. I can’t remember this many cases in all my life as the last 8 years, but it could be they just weren’t a big news item since previous presidents[except for Clinton] didn’t make an issue of it for the sake of gun control.

It’s one thing to claim “conservatism” without posting anyhting conservative.... quite another to actually be a registered voter. Wonder if he is registered to vote and if so, and who registered him?

He was just a “Republican conservative”. History is being rewritten. This is a holy war against Christians and it is not waged by “conservative republicans”. This guy was a moslem convert. Why were the innocent people not armed? They didn’t tell them they couldn’t be armed did they? That was murder!!!

I don’t think it is strange to say conservative republican. I do think it is strange for a black radical murdering anti-Christian nazi occultist to say conservative republican.

Misinformation.

The town where this happened is the same town one of the French train hero’s lives, goes to school at the very same school.

I think you spelled it right, and I am with you on the Ministry of Propaganda.

Good point, the glasses do look like NOI.

And that petulant pose and overall arrogant attitude in his various pictures is very consistent with the characteristic NOI look. Had he worn a bowtie, there would be not a shred of doubt.

This whole thing smells like a set up.

The guy has a hyphenated last name why ?...

No kid in his age group would even know who the IRA and the IRA has been out of the news for decades.

Who the heck uses My Space any more ? That kid is not a Myspace user.That site died off years ago .
His Myspace account looks staged.

Why was his facebook. closed real fast ? No republican or conservative goes around killing Christians . This whole story is not logical and smells very fake and full of wholes the size of Florida

Here’s the link to his MySpace page.

https://myspace.com/344765151/photos

There’s much there about the IRA, but I don’t see anything about Nazism. You’ll also notice the forearm and muzzle of his not-an-AR15.

The IRA sympathized with the PLO, by the way.

Good points all. Why would he have that dating site profile and not a facebook profile. Or google? This is totally bogus.

I think the fact that his page was altered FIVE times today after he’s dead tells you that internet trolls took over his page and wanted to have some “Fun” it was those 4Chan people getting “Payback” for those posts from earlier this morning..and NO ONE uses myspace anymore. I had it in 2008, quit as soon as facebook went up, I dont even think my account even exists anymore I think after a while they just delete it due to inactivity heck I had no clue they even still existed

There’s another thread on FR saying his site had been hacked 5 times already. So yeah, it looks like a personna has been created to match Obama ayotollahs narrative.
