Karl Pierson was a pro-abortion, anti-gun, anti-war socialist Democrat

In other news, the shooter was a self-proclaimed socialist, as reported by the Denver Post.

Excerpt:

Pierson’s parents divorced in late 2011, according to court records. The divorce was finalized in August 2012.

Thomas Conrad, who had an economics class with Pierson, described him as very opinionated.

“He was exuberant, I guess,” Conrad said. “A lot of people picked on him, but it didn’t seem to bother him.”

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?”

Carl Schmidt and Brendon Mendelson, both seniors at Arapahoe High, knew Pierson. They said he had political views that were “outside the mainstream,” but they did not elaborate.

That might explain why the mainstream media in general didn’t want to get into his motivations too much. Makes their own ideology look bad. It’s hard for them to report on these things accurately, isn’t it? Can’t report on the armed guard. That makes self-defense look viable. Can’t report on the socialism, because that makes Democrats look bad. Let’s just say nothing and hope people think that he was a Tea Party person. That’s journalism! Whatever fits, they print.

In fact, these shooters are almost always secularists, leftists or secular leftists. See below for past stories.

  1. It’s always interesting to me that the government schools indoctrinate their students in their radical Leftist ideology and then seem so surprised when it comes back to haunt them. I mean, this IS survival of the fittest after all, right?

    It’s also ironic that the anti-gun folks use guns to kill other people. But, that is very much elitist thought as well. And yes, anyone who thinks it’s ok to kill innocent and defenseless babies isn’t going to have any problem bringing a gun to school and going after bigger unarmed folks as well.

    I guess it’s all worth it, though, from the standpoint of liberal thought, because the indoctrination does guarantee that corrupt and incompetent liberals get elected on a regular basis.

    Homeschool. Because if your child is not physically or emotionally violated in the government school, he or she will be spiritually abused by the anti-Christian forces there.
