I find it very funny that the media and posters on here as well have been pretty quiet with the latest updates on the case. Much new info has emerged such as the doctored pics that the media showed us.
Now I know that there will be flack that it is The Conservative Treehouse but just google Christopher Sean Mercer and you'll find more than 1 picture of this young man. I'm just curious as to why the media has been reluctant to address some of what has come out about this guy.
Within minutes of Harper-Mercer being ID'd by news reports I found this FaceBook page. The name listed on it at that time was Chris Harper-Mercer rather than the Chris now listed. The posts to the other sites now shown under the present name (before the gunman's death) were all made under the name Chris Harper-Mercer. There was an entry on his main page by him from Aug. 8 (the oldest post shown) that showed a picture of a dark, car light-illuminated lonely highway seen through a windshield with the words "cruising the highways in search of prostitutes to help them meet their lord and maker". Within a very short time the website had been altered and that entry had been edited, but all his posts to other sites under the name Harper-Mercer have been preserved in screen grabs by other people, and I saw them all in real time. I don't understand what is going on with this, I lack the informational technology expertise. There have been entries since Harper-Mercer's death, aside from the aforementioned alterations.
In the case of Adam Lanza his mother knew the kid had severe mental issues and yet stockpiled a lot of weapons in the house. In the case of Harper-Mercer, mom also seemed to have an obsession with a large gun collection.
If you know your kid is mentally unstable, why would you continue to make guns readily available to them? It's like keeping a supply of alcohol in the house of an alcoholic and storing it next to the car keys.
Very good point. I hadn't thought of that. The mothers enabled and encouraged the incidents. I'm about to rep this post.
I can sympathize with you as I have 2 sons in their 30's who are still single and have a hard time meeting people. They are intelligent and I think good looking and have excellent morals and ethics but I think it's hard to meet others these days if you don't want to go the route of a dating site. Neither are into the bar scene and most of their friends are married.
They have both had relationships in the past and none of the girls were the "cheerleader type" except one who swore like a drunken sailor but things just didn't work out. There were more personal problems on the girl's side that made commitments hard.
My cousin's daughter, married and divorced with an 8 yr old child, also has not had any luck on the dating scene. She's 35 and shy.
When you're younger, you're in more situations - school, bars ect that are more relaxed and offer the time to meet people. These days - everyone has their own schedules set in stone - so even if you join say a health club - I think your chances of meeting someone are reduced as people come there with a set goal - work out, shower - off to work.
My one son relocated 2 yrs ago - so it's been even harder when he's working 7 day weeks sometimes 7-6 to meet anyone. He's friends with a few married guys but it broke my heart when he went to the movies by himself on his birthday.
Those of us who got married in their 20's, really never experienced how tough it could be to meet people once we got older.
My generation got hit very hard and I think even the young kids are disconnected too.. debating on whether or not to call eachother he or she, him and her, male and female. I cant believe what I been hearing lately. I think that if people have good ethics, are good looking, taller than average that they will have trouble because most are painfully average and have fell victim to media influence and everything that corrupts peoples minds. I feel like if I was thrown in another time possibly an ancient time, I'd probably be a ruler or a king. I am independent natured, I was tough to control growing up.. teachers had a hard time with me. I mellowed with age but I didn't exactly become a success. I just have enough savings for me to get by right now without work and that's considered doing fine for me. I was able to save and return to Florida and just been trying my best to get by.
I talk to one girl but she lives almost an hr from me but I live in a metro area with many singles ok, and have not had any luck at all.. You'd think the more people and the more singles the easier the odds right? Well not here. Everyone seems to have 2-3 kids, work a lot, welfare cases or has ex boyfriends stalking them. I never seen so many issues. And the ones I feel are a fit and have less baggage still don't write me back much. So ya I have that one girl maybe in the event I move to that area again but surprisingly ya, in the Tampa area its hard to secure 2 things, a good relationship and rentals that are nice for reasonable money. The job market isn't too bad but those 2 other things are.
Who cares? All these selfish losers leave traces. It is all hindsight and means nothing at this point. We aren't going to learn anything from them other than how selfish they are. That is the one common ground they all have. Throw them and their selfish memory in the toilet and move on.
The bodies weren't cold and the polticial hacks were out in full force with gun control mantras. Right until it was discovered the shooter asked about religion.

Ummmm …
I don't see that "religion" has anything at all to do with the obvious need to keep guns and ammo OUT of the hands of guys like that crazy shooter ...
Why are there no mentally ill control laws being proposed?
