A British-born gunman killed at least nine people in a US college before being fatally shot in a stand-off with police.

Chris Harper-Mercer was born in England before moving to the United States as a young boy, according to reports in America.

The 26-year-old, whose social media profiles featured content supporting the IRA, apparently demanded to know his victims' religious beliefs before opening fire.

The killer burst into Umpqua Community College in Roseburg before slaying nine people and injuring seven.

I am posting this because it's the first I've heard of his being a British citizen.

Because this doesn’t fit the MSM narrative, this story is disappearing down the memory holes as we speak.

Is he a US citizen?

I think this Muslim sympathizer is a Lone Wolf that ISIL urged to go out and kill people.

His father had/has a UK accent.

This bastard may have been on a terrorist watch list like the bastards responsible for the Boston Marathon mass murder as per the link below:

“Chris Harper Mercer may have been an ISIS supporter and may have been on a terrorism list ignored by the United States, a shadowy and thinly sourced report from the internet is claiming.

This is probably as valid as anything Barack and his mediots tell us:

So we can assume now that in a short while he will be pegged as a jihadist. The slow deliberate methodical information coming out of the media lessens the shock value and the anger associated. We are being lulled into a deep sleep. Just think for a minute 200,000 would procreate into what in 5,10,15,20 years

Yet another argument for gun free zones... NOT! Its come to the point that “gun free zones” are becoming synonymous with “killing zones”. The only Bozo security guard on campus was equipped with pepper spray. Hows that working out for you you morons!

I think there is still more to this guy. I would like to know more about his background and how he came to live in Oregon and attend that college. I would like to develop his address history and visitall of his neighbors and speak that knew him. Might check to see if he’s had any visits to any mosques or the WH lately. Aopy of his cellphone bill and credit card bills too. Alo how he came to be in possession of that many guns being a 26 yr old student with no apparent employment (at least that I’ve heard of).

Is it coincidence that half-British, half African losers seem to plan and celebrate the use of force to harm Christians? If this guy had received an affirmative action pass to Columbia and then Harvard Law, he could have been yet another illegitimate occupant of our White House. If Obama had a son . . .

One of the French train heroes would have been expected to be on campus....

I think over there they call them "subjects."

I believe the kid has been "sick" for a long time.

When Alek Scarlatos, one of the 4 that took down the dude in Paris and wound up on Dancing with the stars.....the kid got enraged. Alek must have been all over the news in that little town....day after day after day....

That was his statement...."What about Me? I can make the headlines just like he did!"

She is, but how is that even relevant?

Remember, we’re different from Libs who LOVE STEREOTYPES.

White = EVIL RACISTS
Black = Open Minded/Good

I suspect that the creep doesn't have legitimate American citizenship.
