Missed ya all. Hard drive crash could not get in!! I dont know where ya all are so some ot this may have been posted. But once again the media is just the media.
-- according to this peice, they hit him nwith a shot he ran then shot himself.
Why cant the media just clear it up ?
I thought this peice as really good .Just MOO!
he regularly went to a shooting range with his mother,
........where the two lived until moving to Oregon in 2013. At a barbecue shortly before they left, Mr. Harper-Mercer spent hours talking with a next-door neighbor about guns and how he and his mother were excited to leave Los Angeles and get a fresh start.
When we talked about guns and hunting, he was real open about it,
angry at not having a girlfriend and bitter at a world that he believed was working against him.
Just this week, on Tuesday, using the handle lithium_love,( the only only mental illiness lithium was used for was bipolar) - it helped many but required blood draws often
he commented on a post titled How many girlfriends have you had? by saying 0. Never had anyone. When pressed further by another user, he responded Well, it means Ive never been with anyone, no woman nor man (nor dog or animal or any other). Then, on Wednesday, responding to a comment that he must be saving himself for someone special, he said, Involuntarily so. It was a day before the killings.
. Its clear he was in a very bad state of mind.
He retreated to online message boards to express his thoughts about commercialism,
After his parents divorced when he was about 16, he lived with his mother, Laurel Harper, a nurse who fiercely protected him from, among other things, the neighborhood sounds of loud children and barking dogs.
.....
neighbors said, she went door to door with a petition to get the landlord to exterminate cockroaches in her apartment, saying they bothered her son. _( very typical with some of the learning disabled - had one pt that the only thing the mom could feed him was pizza - peroid - he lost it when anything else was presented)
She said, My son is dealing with some mental issues, and the roaches are really irritating him...... She said they were going to go stay in a motel.
He was listed as a 2009 graduate of the Switzer Learning Center in Torrance, a private school for students with learning disabilities, emotional issues and other special-education needs.
Rosario Lucumi, 51, rode the same bus in Torrance as the young man when she went to work. She said he always wore earphones and listened to music on the rides.
he and his mother lived for less than a year in a small one-bedroom apartment in Torrance. They were always together, she said.
His parents struggled financially over the years, filing for bankruptcy in 1992, and his father, Ian Mercer, filed again in 2002. California records show that Ms. Harper had been a licensed vocational nurse.
She apparently contributed to online forums dealing with health issues. In one exchange, a writer who appeared to be Ms. Harper offered assistance to the mother of a child with Aspergers syndrome, saying, Im a nurse and also have an Aspergers kid. s.
he enjoyed horror movies, and under hobbies, it listed killing zombies along with the Internet and other pursuits.
The profile described Mr. Harper-Mercer as Not Religious, Not Religious, but Spiritual, and it said he belonged to a group called Doesnt Like Organized Religion.
............ in September, after the shooting death of Darren Goforth, a suburban Houston police officer, at a gas .... In case anyones wondering, Im not on the side of the suspect, Im on the side of the officer, and generally dont agree with the black lives matter protests,
lithium_love, shared
, as well as movies like Illuminati Secrets and UFO Secrets of the Third Reich.
a neighbor from Torrance, said he once asked Mr. Harper-Mercer why he wore a military get-up every day. He kind of just didnt want to talk about it and changed the subject, Mr. Clay said.
...... another former neighbor, said Mr. Harper-Mercer was so timid and ill at ease that on occasion Mr. McClendon would ask him if something was wrong.
I would say, Hey, man, you all right? Mr. McClendon said. He would say, Hi, but thats it. He was really shy.
........ moved into the apartment that the mother and son shared when the two moved from Torrance a couple of years ago. She said that the two kept to themselves,.....
.... but that from time to time Mr. Harper-Mercers mother would complain that Ms. Espinozas young children were playing too loudly and bothering her son.
Theyre normal children that play, but she would get really upset, Ms. Espinoza said. It was during the daytime. But I guess the noise would really upset him, the son.
He said: Can you turn that down? Your TV is really loud, Esther Flores said. And he just had that look. No smile, nothing. And he just turned and walked away. My husband didnt even have a chance to respond.
She would wait till they got home and knock on their door ............
...... a neighbor who said she lived in an apartment below Mr. Harper-Mercers, described a more assertive young man than his former neighbors in California did. Far from avoiding social interaction, she said, he frequently shouted at her for smoking on her balcony.
He yelled at us, me and my husband, said Ms. Hart, who lives with her husband and father. He was not a friendly type of guy. He did not want anything to do with anyone.
......... a law enforcement official said...... He was able to run away and then shot himself. He died in the ambulance en route to the hospital. It was not clear which shot was the fatal one.
