Chris Harper Mercer’s Politics: What You Need to Know (Media Claims He Was Conservative Republican)
Heavy ^ | October 1, 2015 | Paul Farrell

Posted on 10/01/2015 8:39:56 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The man suspected of killing multiple people at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, identified himself as a Conservative Republican on his dating profile at Spiritual Passions. The shooter has been named as Chris Harper Mercer, 26. On that site, Harper Mercer says that he is mixed-race. In a blog posting on Kick Ass Torrents in September, Harper Mercer wrote that he didn’t agree with Black Lives Matter protesters but that he thought police brutality was a problem in America.

Speaking to the Roseburg News Review, a witness said that Mercer asked students their religions before shooting them.

On that dating site, Harper-Mercer makes it clear that he hated organized religion but regarded himself as a spiritual person.

Despite identifying himself as a conservative, on his MySpace page, Harper-Mercer posted numerous photos of the Irish Republican Army’s provisional incarnation. That group was openly fighting for a socialist Irish republic, which would be at odds with Harper-Mercer’s conservative leanings.

It’s been reported that Harper-Mercer used an AR-15 rifle during his attack on the college in Roseburg. That gun has become a symbol of the gun rights lobby’s struggle against what they deem persecution from the Obama administration. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, President Obama was lauded for his passionate speech pleading for “sensible steps” to be taken to deal with the gun problem in America.

Wait until Obama issues his exec order and The Lesser of Two Evils Party fully funds it.

More likely someone is editing his profile to shift the blame. It make as much sense as a Liberal who target Gay Pride Movement

Pretty sure now, it’s all bogus (or a least a major portion has been modified). One thing I noticed — if you look at HIS section there’s a line for “Political Views”, but if you scroll down to look at what he wants in “His Match”, there’s no line item for Political Views. Why would you include it for you and exclude that for your potential mate on a dating site?

The profile has been altered multiple times today.

Isn't there a Wayback Machine that would have yesterday's version of the profile?

If his sites have been hacked, we can’t really trust his Myspace page, can we?

Here’s a good solution to the “gub problem.”

Pass legislation outlawing possession of guns by Liberals.

If that law is passed and followed, it should cut down on these
events by 90 %, maybe more!

Chris Harper Mercer had a profile at Spiritual Passions.

The profile says Mercer was a Conservative Republican.
Of course, the left is running with this tonight.

** According to the online Archive.org the online profile was changed 5 times today.

His profile doesn’t say “Conservative Republican.” It says “conservative, republican.” The comma and the lower case make a big difference.

That makes no difference. What does make a difference is that it looks like it has been edited multiple times today. It may even have been created today.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic That looks like no conservative Republican I know... Unless he was a dimwit and thought that was the closest check box to the IRA (Irish Republican Army)

"Mercer forced his victims to identify their religion and shot the Christians in the head".

Here are the photos of terrorists that were on the MySpace page of Mercer’s friend, Mahmoud Ali Ehsani. Scroll down a little.

Someone should look into whether or not Harper-Mercer was a Muslim convert.

Members of the IRA were also PLO sympathizers.
