The anti-Christ shooter is a mixed-race, teetotaling Nazi
Chris Harper-Mercer, the gunman who went on Thursday’s rampage at an Oregon college, idolized the Nazis and the IRA, despised organized religion — and talked of how killing could bring a person fame.
“I have noticed that so many people like [Vester Lee Flanagan] are alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are,” Harper-Mercer wrote in a blog post, referring to the man who in August murdered a reporter and a cameraman on live TV in Virginia, according to CBS News.
“A man who was known by no one is now known by everyone. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day. Seems like the more people you kill, the more you’re in the limelight.”
He also showed interest in the Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook school shootings, having recently shared documentaries about the massacres with people online.
A profile on an online dating site, Spiritual Passions, shows the 26-year-old Harper-Mercer “doesn’t like organized religion” and identified as a “conservative Republican.”
On his MySpace page, he posted a number of pictures related to the Irish Republican Army.
“He appears to be an angry young man who was very filled with hate,” one source told The New York Times.
A man who answered the phone at the home of a relative Harper-Mercer told The Post that the young man had previously lived in California’s LA County but had moved out of state.
At a press conference about the shootings at Umpqua Community College late Thursday, Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin refused to utter the shooter’s name and said the focus should be on the victims and their families.
Harper-Mercer, who lived in Winchester, Ore., identified himself as mixed race. On the dating site, he wrote that he does not smoke or drink.
His name on the site was Ironcross45, alluding to a Nazi military badge.
He also used the moniker on the website iOffer to laud the excellent “customer service” received when ordering a leather Nazi SS officer’s cap.
“I have received my order,” the user wrote. “The customer service is the very best, they are fast and very great to work with. I highly recommend this company they are a great pleasure to work with. there [sic] attention to detail is awesome.”
In another blog post, Harper-Mercer mentioned the murders of NYPD Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, saying the Black Lives Matter group may have been to blame.
“With the constant chants of anti police rhetoric this was bound to happen,” he wrote. “Killing an officer that didn’t do anything to you is not the answer.”
