Instead of always blaming RWE's AFTER the fact why don't you get involved and do something about this. And please explain why you think in your feeble brain that it is always RWE's. You can't. Do you realize the number of mass shootings has CLIMBED hugely since Obambi took office seven years ago and he does not have the balls to do anything about it except express his sympathy to the families and country. Be a man for once RE….dont just post something…..step up and do something. IdiotRE. Best, Jane

Seems like the main motivation was some twisted desire for fame. --- Posts on an online blog that appears to belong to Mercer reference multiple shootings, including one in Virginia in August that left a television news reporter and cameraman dead. The last upload on the blog was Wednesday. when a documentary about the Newtown shooting was posted. In one post on the blog about Vester Flanagan, the man who killed the reporter and cameraman in Virginia, Mercer apparently wrote, "I have noticed that so many people like [Flanagan] are alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are. 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." http://www.cbsnews.com/news/umpqua-community-college-shooting-chris-harper-mercer/ That and some anti-Christian hatred --- A gunman singled out Christians, telling them they would see God in “one second,” during a rampage at an Oregon college Thursday that left at least nine innocent people dead and several more wounded, survivors and authorities said. “[He started] asking people one by one what their religion was. ‘Are you a Christian?’ he would ask them, and if you’re a Christian stand up. And they would stand up and he said, ‘Good, because you’re a Christian, you are going to see God in just about one second.’ And then he shot and killed them,” Stacy Boylen, whose daughter was wounded at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., told CNN. A twitter user named @bodhilooney,” who said her grandmother was at the scene of the carnage, tweeted that if victims said they were Christian “then they were shot in the head. If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs.” Gunman Chris Harper-Mercer’s disdain for religion was evident in an online profile, in which he became a member of a “doesn’t like organized religion” group on an Internet dating site. http://nypost.com/2015/10/01/oregon-gunman-singled-out-christians-during-rampage/
