The local media have still put a fig leaf over the fact that “Firearms” was listed as a topic under “Likes” on his Facebook page, and that sub-topics included the NRA and several gun manufacturers. The odds against that information being suppressed if he had been the SHOOTER are a million-to-one. No, actually, IMPOSSIBLE. The closest the local media came to showing him as he really is was by mentioning that he is “knowledgeable about guns” and participates in a paintball-type sport.
Jon Meis had the knowledge of guns to realize that he would have time while it was being reloaded. I wonder too if being around guns made the event a bit less scary to him allowing him to think clearly.
On some donation page (youdonate) or something someone set up a page for him. It is over $25,000. And his gift registry for his wedding (2-weeks from today!) has been filled!
Donations are also coming in for Paul Lee’s family, the freshman student from Portland that was killed.
