An online dating profile, linked to Harper-Mercer’s e-mail address and featuring another photo of him, says the 26-year-old was living with his parents and searching for the “yin to my yang.” It identifies his views as “conservative, republican,” and lists “organized religion” as one of his “dislikes.”

According to a student at Umpqua, Mercer demanded to know his victims’ religions before killing them.

The MySpace page features a photo of Harper-Mercer holding a gun and smiling into the camera. The profile includes images of pro-Irish Republican Army propaganda. …

Looks to be a dead link. They have already wiped that one.

Thanks for those historical reminders.

I never knew that Jones was one of Robeson’s buttboys.

The opening statement from Obama was odd even for him. It seemed to indicate it wasn’t the profile he wanted.

Is Hussein inviting the killer to the whitehut and give him an award for taking the spotlight off his abject failure in the M.E.?

Most of the media are downplaying the Christian part of this tragedy. Just sick. They were actually doing this on Fox.
They had a psychologist on that said that
The shooter was just doing this for fame.
Than why did he just shoot the Christians
In the head? And the whole “he was a Conservative” bit is pathetic. I hate the
media with a passion! Sorry if my post looks weird. I’m typing it from my phone.

Kinda hard to do now that he’s dead. So instead Obama walks over the corpses of his victims to push the de-facto repeal of the Second Amendment again.
