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.
I am not convinced that disclaimer means it was not altered. It just means it may not have been altered but only accessed. That is my take. Think what you want.
The reason I thought your preference was different is because in my experience, people who ask the same question over again in different ways usual do that because they want a different answer.
Same answer from this source.
You seem to get offended by a little intellectual discourse.
I don’t need that.
You seem to make false charges a lot. I am not offended. You are the one who said I was hostile before you said I was offended. I was merely explaining my perspective and why I said what I said. Please stop telling me how you think I feel. You are abundantly mistaken about that. It is nothing to me if the post in question was or was not altered. I think there is reasonable doubt that it is authentic. You can think otherwise. We can beat it into the ground. My emotions are not tied to any of it.
Then stop talking to me about it.
Thank you.
