Is this accurate? The part about CNN changing his appearance? This shooting is absolutely bizarre, or atleast the media response is.

Make of this what you will.

On the left is the selfie [the murderer] uploaded to his social media. On the right is how CNN presented the same selfie in broadcast stories about him.  Why did CNN need to change the complexion (color) of their broadcast?  

Why is no-one showing pictures of mom, Laurel Margaret Harper.

They are nothing alike. The Beslan massacre was a military assault committed by 32 hardcore Chechen separatists not some random nutjob with jihadi leanings/ideations.

I searched and could not find the altered photo anywhere but on the website you referenced. I wouldn't put it past CNN or any of the MSM to do that, they have been caught manipulating the truth before. They certainly appear to have been given talking points from the halfrican in DC to not focus on the shooter but on the guns. It would be the other way around if a white supremacist shot up a bunch of muslims.

Yay, more angry, young men.

4 students arrested in Tuolumne County school shooting plot

SONORA, Calif. (KCRA) —An investigation into a planned shooting at a Tuolumne County school led to the arrests of four students, deputies said Saturday.

Authorities with the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office said administrators at Summerville High School contacted them Wednesday about three students who were making threats against the students and faculty.

An investigation included interviews with the students and several searches, and officials said they were able to identify a fourth student who was also involved in the plan.

Investigators said the plot was in its early stages, and no one was injured.

The four students, who were not identified because they're juveniles, were arrested on conspiracy charges.

A news conference is planned for 3 p.m. Saturday at the County Board of Supervisors chambers on Green Street in Sonora.

As crazy as some of that sounds, if you go to google and search "Chris Harper-Mercer site:cnn.com" and go to "Images" they don't have any pictures of him up.  



If you add "mom" to the search the only post is on a conservative site.  If you search dad it is the 2, 5,6, and 8th.

He was just a sadly disturbed young man, who fell into despair and chose the wrong path.  Nothing to see here, move along.

I mean it's not like he went all jihad and shot up a military recruiting center or a military training facility.

I did a quick search of CNN's website and Google images, couldn't find the allegedly altered pic. The conservative treehouse guy needs to link to the original before I'm ready to buy what he's selling.

He makes other claims that hold no water, including the shooter's name (his very own Google cache image of the theater production shows his name to be hyphenated), the notion that his student status is being hidden (it's not, it's all over the news), and that there's some grand conspiracy to hide his online activities (also all over the news).

This guy has an agenda, but I don't think getting to the truth of the matter is at the top of the list. Partisan shit stirrer, no better than CNN.

Um, it's still 24/7 on the local Oregon news agencies. As of right now, it's still at the top of CNN's website, top of ABC News' website, multiple stories on NBC News' front page, top of NYT's website, top of CBS News' website, etc.

Where exactly is the story being buried?

While I agree with you the apparent fact that he didn't use the rifle is most important, in this case the semantics are hugely important as well.  The term "automatic rifle" is specifically being used to scare the uninformed into thinking "machine gun" so they will throw their support behind new legislation further restricting "assault weapons".

AUTOMATIC RIFLE,


they stated it and had the words AUTOMATIC RIFLE, in bold large letters splashed on the TV Screen,

Dear ABC, this is your head, this is your ass, they are not interchangeable and learn some journalism skills before you report stupid shit to the sheeple.

Micro rant done.

Instead of getting angry over the semantics of automatic/semi-automatic, I'd focus on the information that suggests the rifle wasn't actually fired in the course of shooting.

Here's a screenshot of the NYT's website. Story is still at the top of the page, but inaccurately suggests the Roseburg shooter used an AR (all reports say it was a handgun). I'm sure that's an accident and will be corrected shortly



Best info I could find on what weapons he had, couldn't find any info on what he actually used. No one has said the rifle was used as far as I know.

A federal agency says the gunman who killed nine people at an Oregon community college had body armor and was armed with three pistols, a rifle and five additional magazines.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives provided the information late Thursday in an incident report obtained by The Associated Press. The guns included a 9mm Glock pistol and .40-caliber Smith & Wesson, both traced to the suspect.

He also had a .40-caliber Taurus pistol traced to someone in Portland and a .556-caliber Del-Ton.

I find it more odd that the screen grab above shows an AR in reference to the shooting when it was said the shooting was done with a handgun.

Someone probably does, but I don't even think most people who own black rifles know.  But if you google it the first result is a Delton DT Sport, you would think they would have changed the article to reflect the EBR status.

Here's a screenshot of the NYT's website. Story is still at the top of the page, but inaccurately suggests the Roseburg shooter used an AR (all reports say it was a handgun). I'm sure that's an accident and will be corrected shortly

Best info I could find on what weapons he had, couldn't find any info on what he actually used. No one has said the rifle was used as far as I know.

A federal agency says the gunman who killed nine people at an Oregon community college had body armor and was armed with three pistols, a rifle and five additional magazines.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives provided the information late Thursday in an incident report obtained by The Associated Press. The guns included a 9mm Glock pistol and .40-caliber Smith & Wesson, both traced to the suspect.

He also had a .40-caliber Taurus pistol traced to someone in Portland and a .556-caliber Del-Ton.

Fine with me. Presonally don't care about what they call the fucking thing. Auto or not, no one really cares.

I was in the principals office last week due to my 5yo having some anxiety issues with starting school. She had a binder on her desk that was lableled "active shooter". I didn't even ask, but fuck it made me think hard about not home schooling them. I guess you have to turn them loose at some point but damn that makes you think hard about some things...

Then they'd be calling it a Del-ton AK47.

Shooter's Dad is blaming gun laws for his son's actions.

ROSEBURG, Ore. — The father of the gunman who killed nine people at a community college here called on the nation to change its gun laws on Saturday, saying the massacre “would not have happened” if his son had not been able to buy more than a dozen handguns and rifles.

“How was he able to compile that kind of arsenal?” the father, Ian Mercer, said in an interview with CNN at his home in Torrance, Calif. He said he had no idea that his son owned any firearms.

I'm assuming they're reporting exactly what the ATF told them, including the ".556 caliber." One would hope the ATF knows there's no such thing as .556 caliber, but this is the ATF, so...yeah.

Also shows the media is too damn lazy to do a basic Google search to verify their "facts" or to learn the first thing about the guns they want to ban. Much lIke Congresscunt McCarthy and her "cop killer" "shoulder thing that goes up," i.e., barrel shrouds.

Hopefully they won't figure out that Del-ton is just an off brand AR.

I did a quick search of CNN's website and Google images, couldn't find the allegedly altered pic. The conservative treehouse guy needs to link to the original before I'm ready to buy what he's selling.

He makes other claims that hold no water, including the shooter's name (his very own Google cache image of the theater production shows his name to be hyphenated), the notion that his student status is being hidden (it's not, it's all over the news), and that there's some grand conspiracy to hide his online activities (also all over the news).

This guy has an agenda, but I don't think getting to the truth of the matter is at the top of the list. Partisan shit stirrer, no better than CNN.

Are they classifying this as a hate crime? Black guy kills 9 white people and no mention of race motive involved?


I hope that nasty bump on your head heals up. That was a bad fall you took there.
It has clearly affected up your thinking.

Nothing to see here, move right along. He was a White guy.
Look at what CNN did to his picture. Lightened it up. Changed profile of his nose and lips.
Just like those early pictures of the WHITE Hispanic in Florida, that shot that poor Travon.

Link to one of the mods favorite site. But worth reading.
Found it on another website.

Is this accurate? The part about CNN changing his appearance? This shooting is absolutely bizarre, or atleast the media response is.

This probably won't matter, but the first photo I saw of the shooter, was the photo that is displayed here that is said to be doctored, portraying a lighter complexion

Crazy that this all went down on the same day that the two guys who gunned down that Border Patrol agent with ATF-provided AKs were convicted. Not a tin foil type, but I'm sure this administration didn't mind the timing.  Glad that the hero, Mintz, has some money coming to him, he earned it.  Prayers out to all the families affected.  I wish these fucking socially inept nerds would stop adopting an asinine cause or the "blaze of glory" trope and just kill themselves in their basements.
