The alleged gunman who killed nine people and wounded nine others at a rural community college in Oregon last Thursday had been discharged from the Army after attempting to commit suicide, according to law-enforcement officials familiar with the case.
Christopher Harper-Mercer, who was 26 years old at the time of the shooting, was discharged from basic training at Fort Jackson, S.C., after just one month in 2008.
The Army said it couldnt confirm details of his discharge due to privacy regulations. But law-enforcement officials familiar with the investigation into last weeks mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg said the discharge occurred after Mr. Harper-Mercer tried to take his own life.
The details of the suicide attempt havent been made public. But it is the latest indication that Mr. Harper-Mercerdescribed by former friends and neighbors as a disaffected loner who loved firearms and disliked religionhad been deeply troubled long before opening fire on fellow students and a teacher in Oregon.

Remember the warnings about Prozac when it became wide spread in use with a side effect of “suicidal thoughts and behavior”
Psych meds, evil and a tool of The Gov to placate and create zombies...
Oh, so Obama’s commanders KNEW the guy was psycho and did nothing? Is that it?
“Psych meds, evil and a tool of The Gov to placate and create zombies...”
I’ll bet that 50% of Senators and Reps are meds that mess with their mind. Not outright psych meds but medications that also have side effects that are bad for your mind. Bad for clear thinking.
I really wish he’d been successful back in 2008.
What is required to make the transition to murder, not alleged?
At a Wyoming school the murder used a bow and arrow.
Never saw him called an archer???
Stabbing in the news, be on the look out for an alleged knifemen!
ALL liberals are on psych meds, usually antidepressants.
All of them. Go check up on me.
There is no liberalism without antidepressants.

Liberals protect these loonies, even when common sense discover that they are a threat to ordinary citizens. The Army did what they are allowed to do under the law and got rid of this bad apple. But in the Liberal Fantasy World that is where the rest of us are forced to live, this guy was given a license to kill. And kill he did. Liberalism works. Isn’t it wonderful? The plan from Liberalism: confiscate all of the guns from those who stands in opposition to our political plan, cower in a corner in the fetal position and die so that we can impose our tyrannical scheme across the land.
In “gun free zones” only maniacs have guns. That sobering disclosure should be required to accompany any “This is a gun free zone” sign.

It’s a good thing the Army threw him out. There is no place in today’s military for a sexually confused homosexual/tranny loser with a chip on his shoulder or a race/gender card stuffed in his pocket! Oh,... wait a minute. Never mind.
2008! Booosh was still in office! Therefore he gets the blame!

Blood pressure meds and other mixes are a real bomb waiting to go off
Psych meds usually mess with Serotonin, amounts present, production, etc.
Mess with it and the mind follows, no choice...
And once your body gets used to it in many cases increased dosages are “warranted”
So is a need to create a crisis, whoops the pharmacist gave him a stronger does by “accident” or he flat went off of them and was free floating reality at that point, no logic base left upstairs..
Insane in the Membrane
Insane in the Brain!
This is Mental Illness treatment at that level in this country, if you dope them up enough what harm can they do, better that than just let them run around...
Like Politicians??

“Alleged gunman”??? The murdering idiot did it. Great “journalism”.
The most despicable thing of all is PEOPLE KNEW SOMETHING AND SAID AND DID NOTHING! So the media and the liberal a##es blame guns
Was it really him (u know, he meant to) killing
Or a poor man in need of deep care and assistance, to be studied to ascertain how society especially White people deprived him of his true identity...
Alleged? The WSJ is as bad as Huffpost.
