#1 Got to blame the 'gun', not the Christian hating governing class and their media dogs. Had these been Muslims, do you really have to guess what would fill the airwaves and print for the next weeks, let alone mandatory 'instructions' in our educational institutions.

#2 The profs had a new solution, other than banning guns, of course - don't mention his name. That is, don't accord him the fame he sought.

That'll teach him!

#3 The Daily Mail adds more background as of 9:30 a.m. ET, including quotes from neighbours, which are stereotypical:

The Los Angeles Times spoke to former neighbors of Harper-Mercer and his mother Laurel who described the pair as loners.

They also said that Harper-Mercer, who would often wear camouflage pants tucked into black boots, seems to carry around a black case with a gun inside and loved target shooting.

Rosario Lucumi, 51, said that mother Laurel would frequently call her son 'baby' despite the fact that he was an adult, and would get involved in disputes over loud noises and at one point a cockroach infestation she said was keeping her son awake at night.

Lucimi's daughter, Rosario Espinoza, said the young man always appeared 'anxious' and 'nervous.'

'He was a little odd, like sensitive to things,' said Rebecca Miles, who took a theater class with Mercer, while another neighbor, Steven Fisher, described him as 'skittish'.

'His demeanor, the way he moved, always looking around,' Fisher said. 'I got a bad vibe from him.'
