Chris Harper-Mercer is the latest mass murderer giving fuel to the leftist dream of disarming all Americans. Which we all should know would mean Americans would be an even easier target for lunatics like Harper-Mercer who wouldn’t have to worry about buying a gun a legally if he so chose to kill unarmed unprotected Americans such as those shot and killed at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon.
When I first heard on the news that a spree-killer was targeting Christians for death by shooting them in the head who so identified themselves, my first thought was that another psycho-Muslim was on the loose in America. As more information has flowed in it has become apparent that Harper-Mercer was a lunatic most likely of the fringe Right. Just to be clear Harper-Mercer was not affiliated with Conservatives that the SPLC often mislabels as the fringe Right (Gun Rights groups, Family Values Christians, Counterjihad writers and so on). Rather Harper-Mercer was attracted to the actual fringe Right such as Nazis, Christian-haters, Jew-Haters and so forth.
I place Harper-Mercer among the fringe Right based on some logical guesses from media investigations looking at the killer’s web history leading to some fairly intelligent guesses. I suspect as the authorities investigate further some more relevant details will emerge. Until then below are some excerpts and articles into the mind of a young man who loathed Christians and had a disregard for human life.

The ONE Thing The Press Will Say Over And Over Again About Chris Harper-Mercer: He Was A Republican
By ROBERT GEHL
OCTOBER 1, 2015
Here it comes.
The bodies aren’t even cold and liberal gun-grabbers, starting with the Commander-in-Chief himself are going to trample all over the victims of the Oregon College tragedy to call for more gun control.
They’ll ignore all the facts. They always do.
They’ll ignore that Chris Harper-Mercer, the 26-year-old shooter, had one of two friends who was apparently an Islamic terrorist-in-waiting.
They’ll ignore that this man was a crazed loner, who was a fan of Nazi propaganda and “supported the IRA.”
His username on a dating website was “ironcross45,” clearly a reference to the Nazi symbol.
They’ll ignore that he was not white. He was mixed-race.
They’ll ignore that he was singling out Christians to slaughter.
He was clearly insane. Deranged. A killer.
Here’s what they won’t ignore.
Tucked into all this information about Chris Harper-Mercer, is one nugget the media will glom onto: He identified as a “conservative Republican.”
You’ll hear that a lot.

Here's What We Know About Shooter Who Targeted Christians at Oregon College
By Fox News Insider - As seen on Hannity
Oct. 1, 2015 10:22 PM
The gunman who killed at least nine people and wounded seven at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., has been identified as 26-year-old Chris Harper Mercer, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News.
Police have said little about Harper Mercer's background or his motive for the attack.
There is a heavy law enforcement presence outside Harper Mercer's home, and authorities are running his name against terror watch lists, in addition to combing through his email history, phone logs and social media footprint.
According to witnesses, he lined up students in a classroom and asked their religion. Those who answered Christian were shot in the head, while those who answered another religion or did not answer were shot in the legs.
…
A MySpace page in his name contains photos of IRA gunmen and points to support for the organization.
In an online dating profile, the shooter purportedly identified himself as a "conservative Republican" and expressed a disdain for organized religion, Daily Beast reported. He also specified that he was in college, lived with his parents and did not drink, smoke or do drugs.
According to CBS News, the shooter wrote a blog post about Vester Flanagan, who fatally shot a Virginia news reporter and a cameraman in August.
"I have noticed that so many people like [Flanagan] are alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are. A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone. His face splashed … READ ENTIRETY

The anti-Christ shooter is a mixed-race, teetotaling Nazi
By Joe Tacopino
October 1, 2015 | 11:54pm
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.
…
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.”
On his MySpace page, he posted a number of pictures related to the Irish Republican Army.
“He appears to be an angry young man who was very filled with hate,” one source told The New York Times.
…
Harper-Mercer, who lived in Winchester, Ore., identified himself as mixed race. On the dating site, he wrote that he does not smoke or drink.
His name on the site was Ironcross45, alluding to a Nazi military badge.
He also used the moniker on the website iOffer to laud the excellent “customer service” received when ordering a leather Nazi SS officer’s cap.

Oregon shooter targeted Christians
October 2, 2015
…
It is unknown why Christians were targeted specifically. Harper was a frequent poster on an image-based bulletin board called “4Chan.” A quick review shows many of the users are obsessed with death and suicide, see themselves as outsiders and resent “normies” – anyone conventional or mainstream.
This was clearly a terribly sick individual. It is a … READ ENTIRETY

Chris Harper-Mercer: Everything we know about the Oregon school gunman on Friday afternoon
Shooter encouraged followers to watch grisly images online and posted that the "more people you kill, the more you're in the limelight"
By Rob Crilly, New York and Tom Morgan
4:02PM BST 02 Oct 2015
Police in Oregon have identified the gunman who opened fire at a college on Thursday, killing 10 people, as Chris Harper-Mercer.
The 26-year-old, whose social media profiles featured content supporting the IRA, apparently demanded to know his victims' religious beliefs before opening fire at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon.
He left behind a complex web of online identities which offer a possible insight into his personality – or at least a glimpse of the way he wanted to present himself to the world.
He maintained a myspace page, on which he posted a photograph of himself holding what appears to be a rifle, alongside images of masked IRA gunmen.
Obsession with Nazis
He offered the fullest description of himself on an online dating profile, saying he was “shy at first, but warm up quickly, better in small groups". He also said he was not religious but was “spiritual” and described his political views as conservative.
His username on the dating site Spiritual Passions was ironcross45 – a handle often used by far-Right sympathisers in reference to the German military symbol reintroduced by the Nazis.
He was also linked, via the username Lithium_Love, to a video upload site, where he also posted about Vester Flanagan, the former TV reporter who shot dead two former colleagues live on air.

Opposition to religion
According to Kortney Moore, 18, the shooter told people to reveal their religion during the rampage. She had been in her writing class when her teacher was shot in the head.
A woman who said her grandmother was inside Snyder Hall, where part of the attack took place, described what happened in a tweet.
…
British connections
The gunman has a British father, Ian Mercer, who is aged in his mid-50s and from the north-west of England.
The father, from Lancashire, is believed to have moved to America to live with the killer's mother, Laurel Harper, who is the second-oldest of four sisters.

CHRIS HARPER MERCER: OREGON COLLEGE SHOOTER ADVERTISED DISTASTE FOR RELIGION
2 Oct 2015
Late Thursday evening, police named 26-year-old Chris Harper Mercer as the man who shot and killed at least nine students, many of them women, at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon.
…
On another profile likely created by Mercer residing on the site Spiritual Passions, Mercer identified his ethnicity as “mixed race,” his interests as “internet, killing zombies, movies, music, reading,” and his political affiliation as “conservative Republican.” He also noted that he lived with his parents and never wanted children. His music interests were listed as “Industrial, Punk, Rock.”
One family member told the Daily Beast that Mercer’s father is white and his mother is black, but when he “came into the world, his birth father was not in the picture.”
On his apparent Spiritual Passions account, he also apparently reveals his distaste for religion. Not only does this page say he is “not religious” — but is “spiritual”– it also lays claim to the “Left-Hand Path” as a group that interested him.
The Left-Hand Path is an idea often equated with the occult and is said to manifest itself in “malicious Black magic.”
Local news quotes eyewitnesses as saying that Mercer ordered victims to identify their religion before firing; one Twitter user claiming to be a witness said that if students identified themselves as Christians, he shot them in the head.
Several reports identify the … READ ENTIRETY

By Ed Payne, Sara Sidner and Kyung Lah, CNN
Updated 10:05 AM ET, Fri October 2, 2015
Roseburg, Oregon (CNN) The gunman who opened fire at Oregon's Umpqua Community College singled out Christians, according to the father of a wounded student.
Before going into spinal surgery, Anastasia Boylan told her father the gunman entered her classroom firing.
"I've been waiting to do this for years," the gunman told the professor teaching the class. He shot him point blank, Boylan recounted.
…
"He was a little odd, like sensitive to things," said Rebecca Miles, who took a theater class with Mercer.
Throughout Thursday night, investigators talked to the gunman's family and neighbors to try to piece together the puzzle.
…
Another neighbor, Steven Fisher, described him as "skittish."
"His demeanor, the way he moved, always looking around," Fisher said. "I got a bad vibe from him."
…
Roseburg has about 22,000 residents, and Umpqua isn't a traditional college. The average age of its 13,600 students was 38 during the 2013-2014 school year.
