Arapahoe High gunman held strong political beliefs, classmates said
http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_24721367/arapahoe-high-gunman-held-strong-political-beliefs-classmates
The teenage gunman who entered Arapahoe High School Friday afternoon and shot two fellow students with a shotgun was outspoken about politics, a gifted debater and may have been bullied for his beliefs, according to students who knew him.
Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson identified the gunman as Karl Pierson, an 18-year-old student.
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, Gun Violence: Let 'em Die, Women's Rights: Let 'em Die, More War: Let 'em Die. Is this really the side you want to be on?"
Another leftist off the rail. :mental:

Lines copied from article.
"Thomas Conrad, who had an economics class with the gunman, described him as a very opinionated Socialist." We know the type well.
"....both seniors at Arapahoe High, said he had political views that were "outside the mainstream". Aussie for bat shit crazy I guess.

Father of Colo. shooter questions son's discipline by teacher
The paper said Pierson contacted the paper to discuss the school's discipline of his son, though he would not say whether he had threatened Murphy. He said he and his ex-wife, Barbara, had been to several disciplinary hearings this year.
Murphy and school officials have not commented on the feud between the two.
Team co-captain Joe Redmond told the Post and NBC News that his friend of three years "had threatened to kill Mr. Murphy," but he could not say why.
"Speech and debate was his life, and the fact that he wasn't there crushed him a little bit and made him really tense and angry."

They were discussing on the FOX Five this afternoon that the newspapers had altered quotes from two students striking the word socialist from their statement. They then discussed the journalistic standards of altering quoted statements. Bob, of course, thought it was okey dokey.

The kid definitely hated his coach.
Something that Ann Coulter said on Hannity's show about this, was that how it seems to be young men going postal.
She also brought up the fact, that this is the age that Schizophrenia can manifest itself, and these insane episodes can be brought on by marijuana use.

Quite a good list, too. Really puts things in perspective, doesn't it?

I wonder if he had been treated for depression with psychotropic meds in the past.

Reminds me of Jared Loughner.
