Pittsburgh shooter possibly influenced by Occupy Protests?

Pittsburgh Post Gazette ^ | Western Psych shooter's flat full of rants, medications | Michael A. Fuoco

. . . Mr. Shick also ranted in his writings about the evils of "corporate America," sources said, and had a gas mask and a biohazard suit in the apartment.

Here is the buried lede in an article describing the Pittsburgh Gunman, who shot nine and killed 2 (including himself). Could you imagine if the gunman had rants extolling his hatred of government? This would be the lead on all the networks and leftist newspapers in how the Tea Party had influenced him to murder.

I would love to see all of his writings. I would bet that he was part of the Occupy movement but the media will never report it.

Damn that Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin.

OWS seems to be heavily populated with mental patients.

Go to wearethe99percent.org and it is clear large numbers of them need professional help.

Obviously he was a deranged individual. I do not believe that the Occupy movement and their anti-capitalist screed are responsible, but the minions on the left did not even wait for the facts to blame Gabrielle Giffords shooting by Jared Loughner on the Tea Party and the right’s supposed violent rhetoric for the shooting.

Here we have an individual whose beliefs mirror those in the Occupy movement, but nary a word from the press or the media.

Point of clarification: He was brought down by a LEO, he didn't kill himself (unless this was suicide by cop, which it doesn't appear to be...he just went more nuts (he was already nuts, apparently)).

You are correct, in my haste in posting I neglected this point. All praise to the officers who were on the scene quickly and brought this maniac down. They definately saved many lives that day.

I'm of the opinion we need to get as low ... nay, LOWER... than the liberals. Here is an example of my writing that demonstrates what we need to do, every day, all day long, until the left either quits -- or gets beaten at their own game.

I am preparing to write another editorial, squarely blaming the Occupy movement for this person’s actions.

Look forward to reading it.

News you won’t be seeing on MSNBC/NBC.
No wonder this never really made the National Radar.

The article plops us down at the tail end of the story. Where is the information about the shooting, itself?

[tosh]

Just go to the bottom of the article and select page 1 to access the beginning of the article.

Silly me. I assumed what I linked to WAS the beginning of the article. I clicked on ‘next page’ when I got to the bottom. Couldn’t figure out what the heck was going on! ;o)
