Oregon campus shooting

He writes that he is, “Not Religious, Not Religious, but Spiritual.” And says, under personality that he is, a “lover, conservative, professional, intellectual, introvert.” He also says under interests, “internet, killing zombies, movies, music, reading.”

Harper Mercer says he is “mixed race,” doesn’t drink and is a “conservative, Republican.”

Also, for FH:

"Before the actual name of the shooter was released, a different name, Toby Reynolds, also known as Egg Man, spread on social media and some websites as the shooter.

He called NBC News and told them he was alive and not the shooter.

A post on the message board 4Chan Wednesday night at 7:19 p.m. local time that said “Some of you guys are alright. Don’t go to school tomorrow if you live in the northwest,” is being investigated as possibly connected to the shooting."

In the discussion thread, some users told him not to do it, while others encouraged him and gave him ideas for how he could kill people."

Welp, there's all the pointless, inane, monotonous reasons that we've all seen before and couldn't find less interesting... Back to doing nothing about it!

Interesting that he's into the LHP and occult and is a conservative Republican. Or was.

...it's cowboy age never had an end in USA ?

Just for the record, where do you get the notion that the old American "Wild West" cowboy age was full of gun slinging murderers, that blew people away every day over a card game in the saloon? The movies/TV? Sigh.

Historically (which differs from fictional Hollywood movies) the Wild West had an average of 1.5 murders per year. The most a town ever saw was 5 murders in a single year. Yes, even the almighty Tombstone, AZ. is included in that list.

As others have stated, it is not a gun problem...it is a mental health problem. Guns are protected by the US Constitution, and the only way that gets changed is through a constitutional amendment...which won't happen.

Who cares? They're all the same with the same pointless manifestos and the same grandiosity to think their 5 minutes in fame matter. At the end of the day, there manifestos go unknown, there names are quickly forgotten, and everyone goes on about their lives, except the victims and families of the victims.

Ask a random person what the unibomber believed? What was the aim of the OKC bombing? The Virginia Tech shooting?

No one knows. No one cares. Except for compulsive people like ourselves who have to look up everything, of course.

Australia for all its faults, at least my chance of being shot at school or work are nearly nil.

My thoughts are with the families and victims, but this has become beyond absurd dear America.

Just curious why always it's happened in Universities and Schools ?!!!
Ever notice that these shootings occur in gun free zones?
Think that is a coincidence?

some poeple are with and other against possession of gun for civilians .

keep some of your "sorry" for next gun crime until guns restricted , if guns restricted these victimes are alive now .

More gun laws will not stop criminals.
Why?
Because criminals do not obey the law.
that is what makes them criminals.

the gun is very efficace too of kill , so if it's used by idiots that's cost the life of innocents .

yes everyone is responsible for it's acts , i am not sure if most of crimes are done by guns too .

so if Western law don't ban tanks to civilians , so some people will justify for tanks too ?
If using a gun to kill people makes one an idiot, what does blowing ones self up to kill people make you?
I mean, other than dead....

The school/campus shootings in USA cannot be a front page news anymore same as suicide bombings in Iraq or Afghanistan.I did not even care about reading the news.

Peace be upon you.
Peace be on all.
1-Good wishes and prayers for wounded ones and for those who lost innocent dear ones.
2-In the changed world, there should be soft-facilities (at school-college-university-community centers, experts etc) where people who have any kind of brewing or brewed tensions, troubles, problems can go with confidence to get practicable advice and help -- before it becomes like this sad event.

It's so much violence and crime anymore. I found out about the shooting when a local station was airing Obama's speech, and then when I flipped on the news tonight there was a murder-suicide at IU Bloomington.

"Mercer reportedly asked people to stand up and state their religion, and then started firing"
That sounds eerily like Columbine.

I don't get what you mean , "free zones"

indeed ban gun will not stop crimes .

but what i see ,is provide to criminals efficace weapon to do their crimes too .

in this accident if this criminal had just knife , he will probely kill or wounded one , not 10 victimes .

ban guns: is remove this efficace weapon from hand of criminals .

What about people themselves?

If no guns, then what? Knives, explosives, gas, poison, bows and arrows...... List goes on....

It's why the gun debate is getting stale.

More better to look at what it is that triggers people to go out and do stuff like that.

ok if list ban the most dangerous weapon ,that's make different .

if that criminal had just knife (for exemple) he will may wounded someone , or two , being captured before he did it .

so the efficacity is what make different for criminals , and victimes count .

I've been on here longer than you and know a lot of the people here better than you, so I would be a decent judge of what many of them may or may not know about.
how do you be sure that i ignored the way of life in West ,what gauges to judge me ?

is not watching movies and listen to music and reading books as mirror of other cultures, and way of life ?

i guess it's help .
