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.

See this from Conservative Treehouse:

“However, WARNING – this profile looks to be recently constructed and may be a spoof by the 4Chan team who are trolling the storyline and angry about the media pointing fingers at the prior story on their site: ( Because the profile was edited post death) So don’t trust the content”

The dude went to Switzer Center. He was a troubled kid that grew up to be a killer

I am sure in the event of a planned attack the perpetrator probably edits or creates online profiles to suit the persona he wants people to believe.

A conservative who targets Christians? Must be a rare faction of Conservative. Maybe he meant Conservative Muslim.

Rumors are out that myspace and the dating site were edited after the shootings.

I don’t know for certain either way.

It certainly doesn't sound like a conservative republican.

The profile has been altered multiple times today.

IRA
Occult
Christian hater
Oppressive police
Minority

Nothing says typical conservative republican. It is bogus, but the media does not care to dig deeply as long as they like the report.

REPORT: “Look at this unsubstantiated nonsense we pulled off the Internet...”

His dating site was hacked repeatedly today, dont bother reading that nonsense because its NOT true..he was a Muslim convert, his buddies on myspace included a Jihadist who hated Christians and Jews, supposedly this killer was a black lives matter supporter..he told people to stand up if they were Christian before killing them, probably got his motivation from the shootings in Kenya

That is what Sundance said at the link to The Conservative Treehouse. He/she shows a link that shows the date change.

Mercer’s stepsister told the station he was born in England and traveled to the United States as a young boy. She said Mercer’s father, who lives in Tarzana, married her mom and that the last time she spoke with Mercer was a year ago.
