Senator
Chris Harper Mercer . . . what we know so far (these are all true – not a satire)
- Father was caucasian, Mother African American; they split up before he was born
- Age 26, was NOT even a student at the school
- No record of any job or means of support so far (welfare recipient?)
- Had amassed a small arsenal of handguns and rifles; legality/sources unknown
- Online postings in support of the Irish Republican Army (WTF??? Is he irish?)
- However, the IRA is Catholic Aligned, and Harper-Mercer singled out Christians for assassination, without first clarifying “are you Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian . .. ?”
- Was looking for “spiritual singles” in his online dating profile (to kill them?)
- “Killing Zombies” was another of his interests, according to his profile
- Idolized Vester Flannigan, the deranged killer who filmed himself executing random people this summer.
- “Horror and Sci Fi movies” were his favorite film genre
- Shaved his head and wore combat boots and camo pants continually
- His myspace accounts lists “conservative, republican” and “hatred of religion” as his philosophical tropes; apparently unaware that this made him a RINO?
- Neighbors described him as a loner, who took extraordinary steps to avoid conversation
- “His mindset was that of a teenager. His conversation. He had no girlfriend, no friends”
- Notable quote from the gunman's online social footprint: “ Seems the more people you kill, the more your’re (sic) in the limelight.”
