ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — The 26-year-old gunman who opened fire in a community college English class, killing nine, was an Army boot camp dropout who studied mass shooters before becoming one himself.

A day after the rampage in an Oregon timber town, authorities said Christopher Sean Harper-Mercer, who died during a shootout with police, wore a flak jacket and brought at least six guns and five ammunition magazines to the school. Investigators found another seven guns at the apartment he shared with his mother.

The weapons had all been purchased legally over the past three years, some by him, others by relatives...

“Dorkbama the Muslim coukd never have gotten into boot camp...except fir using fake credentials like he (or others) did for his politicak career.

However, he woukd most certainly been eliminated for low abilities in everything.”

Dorkbama would flunked the drug tests and the intelligence tests.

Or they where spare magazines for a reload if he ran out. Just guessing though.

“Bergdahl got booted from my alma mater the USCG..thats a red flag if not a phosphorus aerial display type notifier.”

Incredible, I wasn’t aware of that.

That goes beyond the red flag into aerial fireworks warnings.

My BCT Company lost two. One was caught beating his meat under the barracks. (He laughed at us as he was taken away. His words were, "I'm going home now suckers.")

The 2nd was just a fatty who wouldn't run. He was last seen mowing the lawn at Bde HQ. Rumor had it that he was recycled back to week one in a new Company.

My apologies.

I'm referring, of course, that foul, disgusting, demonic, worthless subhuman cockroach from Oregon ...

So they gave him the old TDP. Yep that means you flunked out of the Army. Just an FYI they do TDPs mainly for those who are mentally unstable and can’t follow orders. At least they did when I was in the Army.

Actually it’s African American. So, the shooter was a light skinned black. Funny the media is hiding that fact. (Obama always identifies as black, most 1/2 Black’s identify as black, it’s like libs agree with the ‘one drop rule’).

Let’s see a picture c of his mom.

I would add getting kicked out of any boot camp and be turned down by a recruiter for obvious issues. I got turned down after 9/11, a couple years too old.

Obama is “black”, but this murderer is “mixed race”...

Absurd.

Thanks for that link.

I wasn’t aware of this.

Someone in the Army dropped the ball, or did they have blinders based on Berg’s Father?

You got turned down for not meeting age requirements: minimum and maximum ages, not obvious issues.

Why is a Portland Fire and Rescue officer the spokesman for local law enforcement. Portland is almost 200 miles away. Weird.
