The man suspected of killing multiple people at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, identified himself as a Conservative Republican on his dating profile at Spiritual Passions. The shooter has been named as Chris Harper Mercer, 26. On that site, Harper Mercer says that he is mixed-race. In a blog posting on Kick Ass Torrents in September, Harper Mercer wrote that he didnt agree with Black Lives Matter protesters but that he thought police brutality was a problem in America.

Speaking to the Roseburg News Review, a witness said that Mercer asked students their religions before shooting them.
On that dating site, Harper-Mercer makes it clear that he hated organized religion but regarded himself as a spiritual person.
Despite identifying himself as a conservative, on his MySpace page, Harper-Mercer posted numerous photos of the Irish Republican Armys provisional incarnation. That group was openly fighting for a socialist Irish republic, which would be at odds with Harper-Mercers conservative leanings.
Its been reported that Harper-Mercer used an AR-15 rifle during his attack on the college in Roseburg. That gun has become a symbol of the gun rights lobbys struggle against what they deem persecution from the Obama administration. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, President Obama was lauded for his passionate speech pleading for sensible steps to be taken to deal with the gun problem in America.
According to the online Archive.org the online profile was changed 5 times today
Thanks. I saw that archive.org shows Saved 6 times on October 2, 2015, but I'm not sure what that means.
A Facebook page that was under his name Saved 5 times, but now shows the name Chris Figgalopola.

There is another possible editing going on with this Torrent blog posting regarding BLM.

Here is another image of supposedly the same posting. Notice the wording on the BLM sentence at the end.
It would not be unusual for somebody obsessed with the IRA to call themselves a republican. The reason being, the IRA calls itself republican, thus the R between the I and A. In the context of Northern Ireland there are four political categories. Unionist (peaceful supporters of the UK), Nationalist (peaceful supporters of Irish unification), Loyalist (supporter of Protestant paramilitaries), and Republican (supporter of the IRA, or other splinter groups).
I just read up on Archive.org. The “Saved 6 times on October 2, 2015” means that Archive.org took 6 snap shots. Each snapshot looks the same. I don’ think this indicates that the page was edited and saved.
“not religious,but spiritual” = new age atheist
Note This calendar view maps the number of times http://spiritualpassions.com/seeme/ironcross45.html was crawled by the Wayback Machine, not how many times the site was actually updated. More info in the FAQ.
What does make a difference is that it looks like it has been edited multiple times today.Here is what archive.org says:

Well the dude was out murdering people. Who triggered the activity?
Who triggered the activity?
Anyone can manually save a URL into archive.org
There are also automated crawlers and I assume they capture pages getting a lot of hits.
A Conservative Republican?
How embarrassing. So we have this guy and on another post we have people bashing Jennifer Lawrence because she bashed Trump A LITTLE in jest. I’ll take Jennifer and you can have this creeper.
This is what I found on wikipedia. I am not an expert on these things.
The Wayback Machine is a digital archive of the World Wide Web and other information on the Internet created by the Internet Archive, a nonprofit organization, based in San Francisco, California. It was set up by Brewster Kahle and Bruce Gilliat, and is maintained with content from Alexa Internet. The service enables users to see archived versions of web pages across time, which the archive calls a "three dimensional index."
Since 1996, they have been archiving cached pages of web sites onto their large cluster of Linux nodes. They revisit sites every few weeks or months and archive a new version if the content has changed. The intent is to capture and archive content that otherwise would be lost whenever a site is changed or closed down. Their grand vision is to archive the entire Internet.[3]
I’m not sure why you’re being hostile.
I guess the mass murderer was truly an isolated dweeb.
The brooding, vengeful loner?
Wonder what actually set him off?
Perhaps the Pope's visit?
I didn’t mean it hostile. I just thought it seemed like you were hoping that info was true.
I have never used the wayback machine myself. I have seen the results from others efforts many times. So I am probably the wrong person to ask for details about how it works. The way I understand it, the user would have had to access the site, not just any old joe. But I do not know for sure. The entire point of the wayback machine seems pointless otherwise. A hacker or a forger could act in place of the owner/user and trigger wayback archiving. But find an expert to tell you for sure.
I do not find the info logical. So it is easy for me to believe it was doctored. Regardless, it is an illogical mix of things.
Valid questions. I have never even heard of that dating site. I suppose if his myspace account was setup a long time ago then maybe..but that weird dating site? Yet none of the regular places you listed.
I do not trust the media one little bit. Nor Obama. Why did we have to wait so long for his name?
Right and I’m all but certain his site was hacked today.
There’s absolutely no reason to believe the misfit loner was a Republican, let alone a conservative.
