Oregon gunman idolized IRA, Nazis
NY POST ^ | October 1, 2015 | By Joe Tacopino

Chris Harper-Mercer, the gunman who went on Thursday’s rampage at an Oregon college, idolized the Nazis and the IRA, despised organized religion — and talked of how killing could bring a person fame.

“I have noticed that so many people like [Vester Lee Flanagan] are alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are,” Harper-Mercer wrote in a blog post, referring to the man who in August murdered a reporter and a cameraman on live TV in Virginia, according to CBS News.

“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 like the more people you kill, the more you’re in the limelight.”

He also showed interest in the Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook school shootings, having recently shared documentaries about the massacres with people online.

A profile on an online dating site, Spiritual Passions, shows the 26-year-old Harper-Mercer “doesn’t like organized religion” and identified as a “conservative Republican.”

That's very interesting!

So all attention is on the fake while the real gets sanitized?

The online account that the “conservative Republican” was taken from was accessed 5 times yesterday.

Since the shooter was mostly likely elsewhere engaged, it looks like the account was hacked and erroneous information placed there (per Gateway Pundit)

I believe his father is an English pig which means more Americans have been killed by scumbag immigrants.

His accent was Irish, I listened to him at a link on the DailyMail.

The names of people that kill always fade from memory quickly.

I’ll reiterate what I wrote above, in case you missed it:

Archive.org doesn’t have ANY record of that “dating profile” until about 9:00 PM EDT last night. It changed 5 times in the next few hours, and has changed 3 more times since then.

It wasn’t “hacked”. It was CREATED after the incident, to troll the lamestream media and anyone else stupid enough to not investigate the origin of the profile.

I know. But does your liberal neighbor watching reality TV, and CNN 4 hours a night know that? Do all the LIVs know that?

Are you paying attention?

“The online account that the “conservative Republican” was taken from was accessed 5 times yesterday. ...it looks like the account was hacked and erroneous information placed there (per Gateway Pundit)”

Yesterday, when I went to shooter’s dating website page, it only said “conservative”, did not say Republican. I am absolutely sure of that as I read it carefully. I also read his other page with the IRA pictures. Nothing on there said conservative or Republican.

I think those accounts were changed on purpose and that’s why they wouldn’t give his name out for so long.

Being of mixed race (black and white)can cause confusion and resentment

A crime due to this emotional soup affected someone close to me in the 80s

Angry resentful mixed race boy in Plano Texas

And he almost killed her

Hated white women due to what he viewed as his bad morals white mom

Self hate

Obama has this too

Yet we as a culture whistle past the graveyard any hint of it

Now that is interesting. Created after the event. Let’s see if the authorities figure that out.

So, his dad was Irish and the kid was enthralled with the IRA and the Nazis? I wonder if Daddy was an IRA supporter. Whatever comes out, only the LIVs will believe this kid was a ‘Conservative Republican’. Really too bad there are so many LIVs in this country.

Notice how many of the light skinned so called black leaders end up being the most strident?

YOu could go to the Board of Elections for the county and find his party affiliation. That’s suppose to be public information

Precisely my point...many on the left ‘want to believe’ what the profile says; even though it is likely all BS...

Somebody on one of these threads checked yesterday and said the guy was a registered Dem.
