The Allure of Mass Murder

Guest Post by Patrick J. Buchanan

“Seems the more people you kill, the more you are in the limelight.”

That blog post on the email address of Oregon mass-murderer Christopher Harper-Mercer was made after Vester Lee Flanagan shot and killed that Roanoke TV reporter and her cameraman.

“I have noticed,” said the blog post, “that people like [Flanagan] are all alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who you are.”

Harper-Mercer had found the key to his future, and given us a truism for our time.

For the world now knows who Harper-Mercer is.

We have seen his face on TV. We have read how he murdered eight students and a teacher at Umpqua Community College, how those who admitted to being Christian were executed in front of the class with a bullet to the brain.

When detectives arrived, Harper-Mercer was wounded in a firefight, fled back to his bloody classroom and shot himself. From start to finish, the worst shooting in Oregon’s history lasted half an hour.

When the news broke, predictably, President Obama was back in the White House briefing room calling for new laws to control the sale of guns.

“You never let a serious crisis go to waste,” said Rahm Emanuel.

LET’S POLITICIZE THIS

Latest nutjob to become famous for killing people.

I actually agree with Obama for once. The savior in chief again stepped up to his teleprompter and attempted to capitalize on another mass shooting tragedy for his own political purposes. He thinks the murder of 9 people by another mentally defective, emotionally disturbed, unemployed, male loser from a broken home should be politicized to do away with your Second Amendment rights. He blames  guns for the mass murder.

That’s funny. I think this should be politicized for an entirely different logical reason. I focused on a couple key facts the MSM and Obama will ignore:

Records show Harper-Mercer, 26, lived in a ground-floor apartment on Arlington Avenue at 230th Street in Torrance with his mother, Laurel Harper, from 2011 to 2013. Lists of South Bay graduates from 2009 published in the Daily Breeze showed Harper Mercer graduated from the Switzer Learning Center in Torrance with four other students. Switzer teaches students with learning disabilities and emotional issues. A former behavioral aide at Switzer, who did not want her name used, said the majority of the students at the school are from foster, low-income and single-parent homes. Some of these students were expelled from other schools or had been in trouble with the law. The school is divided among special needs students and those with behavioral problems.

It is pretty clear he has been emotionally disturbed for years if he graduated from a school for emotionally disturbed kids who can’t function in traditional public schools. Then there was another tidbit that he posted on some social media site with the alias Lithium Lover. Lithium just happens to be a drug as described below:

Lithium is useful in the treatment of bipolar disorder. Lithium salts may also be helpful for related diagnoses, such as schizoaffective disorder and cyclic major depression.

So we have another male loner who has been emotionally disturbed for years from a broken home. Can someone please ask his father or mother whether he was taking psychotropic drugs of any kind? Or is that a private matter that has nothing to do with this mass murder? Virtually every mass murder over the last 10 years has been committed by mentally disturbed young men who were on psychotropic drugs. Jared Lee Loughner, Adam Lanza, Seung-Hui Cho and James Holmes were all on psychotropic drugs. Why is no one in the mass media exploring this key fact? I’ll tell you. It’s because they have an anti-gun agenda. Obama should be calling for a ban on psychotropic drugs being distributed to teenagers.

The mass murder issue should be politicized. Obama and the mass media should be politicizing why there are so many emotionally disturbed young men being drugged up by Big Pharma with dangerous drugs that have proven to spur anger and mass murder. It will take a non-mainstream media to uncover the truth about what drugs this dude was taking.
