Colorado shooter was a hardcore liberal
Apparently the shooter, Karl Pierson, was a committed leftist, a Keynesian, and mocked free market principles on his FB page and around his classmates.
So I guess he wasn't an NRA member...
Ironically, he even mocks Republicans for apparently not doing enough on "gun violence."
Here's just one part of the article from the Denver Post:
[i]In one Facebook post, Pierson attacks the philosophies of economist Adam Smith, who through his invisible-hand theory pushed the notion that the free market was self-regulating. In another post, he describes himself as "Keynesian."
"I was wondering to all the neoclassicals and neoliberals, why isn't the market correcting itself?" he wrote. "If the invisible hand is so strong, shouldn't it be able to overpower regulations?"
Pierson also appears to mock Republicans on another Facebook post, writing "you republicans are so cute" and posting an image that reads: "The Republican Party: Health Care: Let 'em Die, Climate Change: Let 'em Die, [b]Gun Violence: Let 'em Die[/b], Women's Rights: Let 'em Die, More War: Let 'em Die. Is this really the side you want to be on?"[/i]

1 ReplyEdited by Random: 12/15/2013 12:53:00 AMtoday I learned one data point equals a trend By the way, I thought we all agreed that the recent shooters (Giffords shooting, Newtown come to mind) have been mentally ill first and [political ideology] second. Of course liberals do not receive the same courtesy or benefit of the doubt, do they? The article makes it very obvious that he was bullied, and of course you didn't include that in your OP.

Damn liberals.

1 ReplyAnother quote from the article: [quote]Pierson was a dedicated, bright student from a religious family that attends Bible study meetings.[/quote] Clearly he's a fundamentalist.

[i]"He had very strong beliefs about gun laws and stuff," said junior Abbey Skoda, who was in a class with Pierson during her freshman year. "I also heard he was bullied a lot."[/i]

Exactly. Only liberals perpetrate those shootings. They're instruments of Obama's regime in order to take away our gun rights.
