CNN Alters Photo of Umpqua Killer Chris Harper-Mercer?
2015-10-05


Before and After:




I searched the CNN website for the photo of the killer--or any photo of the killer--and didn't find it (which is odd for a news site). Th original source seems to be Infowars, which isn't a reliable news source. I did a Google search on the name and all the images returned were similar, some lighter, some darker, within normal limits of imaging software. Googling the twinned image itself brings up mostly nutjob sites, so I'm thinkin' Gateway Pundit fell for a hoax.

#5  I'm throwing a red flag. Too stupid even for CNN.

Not the same picture as the one he is holding a rifle.

Everyone is talking about altered photos, or gun grabbing. I am interested in the validity of the witness' claims, and his motives/lack of motives.

The BLM (which I read he was at least associated with) was/is a jobs fair for recruiters of bad actors.

Also, was a package handed to the police by a designated witness?

I understand a package may be yielding clues for a continuing investigation, and photos of the crime scene, whether it shows random shooting or certain people designated into a spot and executed, would be unacceptable for a number of very good reasons.

But this, oh we don't want to glorify this, BS. If this black savage were given the same treatment of that white savage, every photo posted would be displayed all over the place and they would be talking about how hipster glasses cause violence - or whether they are actually Malcolm X glasses.

When Obama says we need to politicize this, and he is always politicizing things, when he says it, he is saying More Noise.

I'm not on this train, I keep my BS filters clean, but why people can conclude that this otherwise law abiding late 20s failed basic training no girlfriend loser looked at the BLM for some personal meaning and found a way to express himself using violence which specifically targeted Christians (Islam or Leftists), especially white ones, and was activated or came up with this on his own.

#1  I remember hearing early on that sh*tstain was bi-racial. It was just one report and was never mentioned again. His dad was on TV but we have yet to see his mom. Jury still out on this for me.
