No, not me personally. I abhor mass shooters and don’t really pay attention to body counts. Rather, my subject line is a paraphrase of what seems to be the common thread among so many mass shooters.
The latest of course is Chris Harper Mercer. The guy who some media outlets are now trying to portray as a wanna-be white supremacist. Even though Chris isn't white, but most of his victims were. Does this seem like déjà vu? Okay, I remember now - CNN tried the same thing with George Zimmerman .
Back to Chris.
His personal hero? Vester Lee Flannigan. A black guy who shot only white people, over perceptions that he wasn’t getting enough special treatment as a gay part time reporter at the TV station which hired him.
So if Chris was alive, you’d want to ask: Exactly what – other than the body count – did you “admire” about Vester Lee Flannigan? Exactly what did you admire about the Irish Republican Army? Exactly what did you do to get bounced out of army basic training after just 4 weeks? What did you say to the front desk clerk at that shooting club you tried to join, that caused him to turn you away after just a couple of minutes conversation?
We know what Chris Harper Mercer said in his social media postings. Unabashed admiration for mass shooters and their ever escalating body counts.
Ironically, if Chris had expressed admiration for ISIS, and beheadings of Christians, THAT sort of post would probably have resulted in a government file being opened on him instantly. That’s (allegedly) what our government is looking for when they copy all our emails, facebook posts, tweets, and phone calls. “ Do you salute the ISIS flag? We’ll assign someone to investigate you.”
Apparently Homeland Security, the FBI, the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Justice Department – they don’t have anyone on the job paying attention to mental cases who admire mass murderers and are assembling an arsenal, one step at a time. Even though they keep telling us “home grown, lone wolf terrorists are our number one concern”. You’re free to express admiration for deranged killers, get bounced out of the army for misbehavior, accumulate 14 weapons while on government assistance – go ahead, we’re not watching.
Chris Harper-Mercer’s daddy, who abandoned him before birth, appeared on TV, replete with british accent and slightly superior smugness. “If America banned guns, my son Chris would still be alive.” Gee, THAT’S your major concern? Nothing about the 9 murdered and the 7 grievously wounded? You only express concern about the son you were never actually a father too, except on conception day? Eff you!!
Cheyeanne Fitzgerald, one of the survivors, from her hospital bed, took the opposite view. She wished more college students were trained in how to handle guns, and brought them to campus. (see link at top). Even the Oompa Loompa Community College campus security guard didn’t have a gun. Just a police whistle. (“Stop shooting, or I’ll blow my whistle again, you fiend !”)
President Obama went on TV, with a straight face, and asserted that only by taking guns away from law abiding citizens can we keep ourselves safe. Of course, he’s surrounded by a phalanx of law abiding, highly trained secret service agents packing advanced firearms 24/7. But still, he thinks he knows whats best for the rest of us.
I think he doesn’t know $hit from shinola. And I hope nobody takes a shot at him out of frustration, or for any other reason.
