There are reasons the left wing mediots are avoiding his African American aka black mother. She was a gun buyer and probably bought most of the guns her son with Asperger’s disease used to kill people. She armed and trained her mentally ill son. People with Asperger’s are like ticking bombs that can go off at any time. A sane person doesn’t buy arms and train these dangerous mentally ill people.
Since she is black, that destroys the mediots mantra of evil white killers.

The mother of the Oregon mass murderer stockpiled firearms because she feared stricter gun laws — and shopped around for a shooting range that would let her and her son fire away without supervision, the Daily News has learned.
Laurel Harper, a nurse who shared an apartment with her son Chris Harper Mercer, spoke openly about her love of guns, said the mother of one of her patients.
“She said she had multiple guns and believed wholeheartedly in the Second Amendment and wanted to get all the guns she could before someone outlawed them,” Shelly Steele, who hired Harper to provide care for her sickly teenage son, told The News in an exclusive interview Saturday.
“My husband is an avid hunter and former military, so she would talk to him about it all the time, how she liked to take her son shooting,” Steele said.
Harper told Steele she tried a shooting range close to the Umpqua Community College campus but didn’t like it “because it wasn’t very private.”
“You needed to have a range master with you, and she didn’t like anyone watching,” said Steele, who lives in Winston, Oregon.
“She wanted more privacy.”
Harper found a better match in a gun club in Myrtle Creek, Steele said.
“He liked to do it with her,” she said, referring to Chris.
“She told my husband she just purchased some new guns a few weeks ago and took him shooting.
I thought the whole situation was very strange. If you
know your son has mental health issues, do you encourage a fascination with guns?
Steele spoke out two days after Harper’s heavily-armed son murdered eight students and their instructor before fatally shooting himself.
Steele said Harper told her that Chris was “sickly” as a child, had “mental problems” growing up and suffered from Asperger’s.
“One of the reasons she moved up to Oregon was to get away from California and give him more space and peace and quiet,” she said.”
My daughter has some OCD issues and anxiety issues. Just recently she got started on shooting shotgun sports. I was a bit leery letting her go with me the first time, as the OCD tends to make her a perfectionist, and trying to shoot little clay targets at 30 mph does not lend itself to perfection! But she is really good at it.
And what amazed me is that she doesn’t let it get to her if she misses. With other stuff in life she can’t stand making mistakes. Last week we spent time at a couple of difficult sporting clay stations. At the one she went 2 for 20. Then she figured something out, and we left after she got 8/10 or something.
It is great therapy for her. Although in all the tests they did, violence and suicide were not an issue - so obviously that would make a difference.
What is odd with this nutcase and his mom, if they spent so much time together at the range (and travel time), and lived in a small apartment, one would think they would pick up on some signs?
