Christopher Harper-Mercer, 26, who moved to Oregon from the Los Angeles sub­urb of Torrance, California, was offi­cial­ly iden­ti­fied on Friday as the assailant in the ram­page at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, which ranks as the dead­liest among dozens of U.S. mass shoot­ings in the past two years. According to Reuters new Agency.
Information com­ing to the fore indi­cates Mercer was born in Britain but came to the United States as a young child.
Reports indi­cate he had a month long stint in the US Army but was ter­mi­nat­ed before he even became a soldier.
According to Reuters, The shoot­er left behind a “mul­ti­page, hat­ed-filled” state­ment in the class­room, accord­ing to a Twitter mes­sage from an NBC reporter, cit­ing mul­ti­ple law enforce­ment sources who were not iden­ti­fied. CNN, cit­ing sources, said the state­ment showed ani­mos­i­ty toward blacks.

CNN insist it will not show Mercer’s face on it’s net­work nei­ther will it men­tion his name. The rea­son CNN gives for this posi­tion is that Mercer want­ed noto­ri­ety and the net­work would not help him to get that noto­ri­ety. Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin, who has vowed nev­er to say the gun­man’s name, declined to com­ment when asked about the writ­ings at a news conference.
This writer total­ly see how the dead Christopher Mercer will be ben­e­fit­ting from his face being on tele­vi­sion and his name being men­tioned on their air. [sic]

It’s inter­est­ing to note that the same Sheriff John Hanlin wrote to Vice President Joe Biden Two years ago, Hanlin was one of hun­dreds of sher­iffs around the coun­try who vowed to stand against new gun con­trol leg­is­la­tion. In a January 15, 2013, let­ter to Vice President Joe Biden, he wrote, “Gun con­trol is NOT the answer to pre­vent­ing heinous crimes like school shootings.”
After the shoot­ing John Hanlin was ques­tioned about his stance in response he said he will not deal with that issue as he is occu­pied with deal­ing with the events at hand.
So we decid­ed to pro­duce John Hanlin’s let­ter to the Vice President of the United States.

According to reuters report­ing ‚The first thing cus­tomers enter­ing the Gun Shop in Roseburg Oregon see is a life-sized card­board cutout of President Barack Obama with a Middle Eastern scarf around his head and a badge pinned to his chest that reads: “Gun sales­man of the year.”
The cus­tomers and sales staff in this store, locat­ed 10 miles (16 km) from Umpqua Community College, where a gun­man killed nine peo­ple and injured nine oth­ers on Thursday, said they were hor­ri­fied by the shoot­ings. But they were not buy­ing the president’s argu­ment that guns were the problem.
Note that that let­ter was addressed to Vice President Biden and not the President of the United States.
The threat­en­ing tone of the let­ter can­not be ignored
But what is even more reveal­ing is the sen­tence which reads thus.“We are Americans” sug­gest­ing by infer­ence that the President of the United States is not American.

The penul­ti­mate para­graph amount­ed to noth­ing less than an out­right threat against the pres­i­dent and the duly con­sti­tut­ed author­i­ty of the Federal Government.
These are the back­wa­ter hicks who are polic­ing America’s streets and sup­pos­ed­ly uphold­ing the nation’s laws.
According to Police six guns were recov­ered at the scene of the shoot­ing and sev­en more recov­ered from the home of Christopher Harper-Mercer . A total of 13 guns which they insist were all pur­chased legally.
Yet many with­in the com­mu­ni­ty includ­ing cops insist the prob­lem is not guns it is men­tal illness.
Imagine if some­one with an Arab sound­ing name had com­mit­ted this act ?
The President of the United states point­ed to the dis­con­nect in America as it relates to the noise sur­round­ing gun con­trol as against the num­ber of Americans killed in inci­dents not char­ac­ter­ized as ter­ror­ist acts each year.
According to Vox​.com Deaths from gun vio­lence vs. deaths from ter­ror­ism, in one chart
More than 10,000 Americans are killed every year by gun vio­lence. By con­trast, so few Americans have been killed by ter­ror­ist attacks since 911 that when you chart the two togeth­er, the ter­ror­ism death count approx­i­mates zero for every year except 2001. The point President Obama is mak­ing is clear: We spend huge amounts of mon­ey every year fight­ing ter­ror­ism, yet are unwill­ing, at the nation­al lev­el, to take even minor steps (like requir­ing back­ground checks on all gun sales nation­al­ly) to stop gun violence.

Never mind that this creep who took the lives of those unsus­pect­ing peo­ple also expressed hatred toward Black people.
As America spends Trillions pro­tect­ing against the “bogey­man Islam” the facts are unmis­take­able the real killing of Americans are being done by Americans, right here in America.
Islamic hatred and Xenophobia will not change those num­bers there is a large part of the American pop­u­la­tion which is hell­bent on self destruc­tion fuelled by racial hatred. They have a blind alle­giance to the sec­ond amend­ment to the con­sti­tu­tion only because that amend­ment suits their insane desire to own a mul­ti­plic­i­ty of weapons of mass destruction.
Weapons which they believe gives them the abil­i­ty to con­trol oth­ers through fear by force of arms. Unfortunately for every­one those weapons are killing every­one , not just those they hate but them and their chil­dren as well.
This 26 year old killer had 13 guns.
How many is enough?
Don’t expect this insan­i­ty to end any­time soon if ever.
