Oregon Gunman Singled Out Christians During Rampage
New York Post ^ | October 1, 2015 | Chris Perez

Posted on 10/01/2015 4:24:48 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The gunman who opened fire at an Oregon community college was forcing people to stand up and state their religion before he began blasting away at them, survivors said Thursday.

A woman who claimed to have a grandmother inside the Writing 115 class in Snyder Hall, where the massacre unfolded, described the scene in a tweet.

“The shooter was lining people up and asking if they were Christian,” she wrote. “If they said yes, then they were shot in the head. If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs. My grandma just got to my house, and she was in the room. She wasn’t shot, but she is very upset.

CNN just said that they took his cellphone and were able to find his car to cleare it of explosives. He drove from the midwest to Seattle and from there made the 6 hour drive to Oregon.

So they just stood there waiting their turn to answer his question?

I would have at least TRIED to fight back, may have died anyway but I’m not going to just stand there and not fight.

I think they have learned they need to wipe his social media first. We, the public, find out first hand information that way. We don’t get the narrative they want us to have.

I’m not fuente and I don’t know where funete got the name, but apparently someone on Twitter said a friend identified the shooter as having that name, and that info is spreading for good or bad.

Sheriff said it was not an act of “International terrorism.”
Forgot the source. Daily Mail maybe.

It should NOT take that long to wipe his Social Page. Of the 20 or more that were not killed, NONE have posted on Facebook or other Social Media ? ? GIVE ME A BREAK !

That’s Indian, probably Hindu or Punjabi.

There are a lot of Muslims of Indian descent.

Thank you. Yes, I’ve seen it and looked it up. Apparently, India’s got a male (I presume) model by the same name.
