America-Hating Commie Punk Wanted to Kill Librarian, Had Molotov Cocktails

Posted on Comments

Because he got kicked off the debate team:

Tracy Murphy worked as the librarian at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado but it was his role as the adult adviser for the speech and debate team that led to him being the target of gunman Karl Pierson’s rage.
Mr Murphy allegedly demoted Pierson or kicked him off the team earlier this week.
Pierson’s friend and fellow debate team member has said that he was upset about being demoted and his anger resulted in an even more serious suspension from the team.

Obviously, the Special Snowflake™ couldn’t cope with failure:

Karl Pierson, 18, fired six shots from a pump-action shotgun between the moment he walked into Arapahoe High School on Friday and the moment he killed himself in a library as a school security officer closed in on him, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said. . . .
Students and a teacher said Pierson was an Eagle Scout who finished at the top of speech competitions. He competed in extemporaneous speaking — in which students prepare short speeches on current events — in the National Forensic League’s national tournament in June in Birmingham, Ala.
“I think he (Pierson) really cultivated his speech and argument skills and really thought that was a big part of his identity,” said Steve Miles, an English teacher who taught Pierson as a freshman. “He probably thought it was a pretty crushing blow to get kicked off the debate team.” . . .
Pierson arrived at the school toting the shotgun and wearing the ammunition on his body. He had a machete and, in a backpack, carried three Molotov cocktails, the sheriff said.
Pierson fired a round down a hallway and shot [17-year-old senior Claire] Davis, who was sitting nearby with a friend. He fired another shot down the hallway, entered the library and ignited one of the incendiary devices. He fired a fifth round, ran to a corner and killed himself, just 80 seconds after entering the building, Robinson said.
Davis, the sheriff said, appeared to be a random target.

“A random target.” Let any parent imagine that: Your daughter gets shot in the head with a shotgun because she’s a random target. What kind of miserable punk would commit such an atrocity?

 As students were returning to the school to retrieve their vehicles on Saturday, one described Mr. Pierson, a senior, as an outspoken proponent of political views that were unpopular with others at the school. Chris Davis, an 18-year-old senior, recalled Mr. Pierson once wore a shirt emblazoned with the letters U.S.S.R. and described himself as a communist. “People definitely disagreed with a lot of that and gave him a hard time,” said Mr. Davis, adding that he didn’t think the criticism amounted to bullying.

Commies: Randomly shooting girls in the head, for the proletariat.

  3. You still have one of those? It’s been so long since I used mine I have no idea where I put it last.
    I’ve moved a couple of times since; I hope I didn’t leave it…

  4. As a internet journalist, you may want to check on the claim he was an Eagle Scout. Leftists can’t blame this on tea partiers, but on an Eagle Scout? I’m surprised that A. The left hasn’t jumped on this and B. It has yet to be verified.
    1-800-BSA-INFO (1-800-272-4636) and ask for the Eagle Scout Service.

  6. Pretty lame excuse for a Communist – they usually murder people wholesale. Now the sad sack won’t get on a tee shirt.

  7. How did this dumb kid think that going on a shooting spree was going to right some “wrong” that was inflicted on him?

  8. Maybe he thought he’d be a martyr for gun control. THIS time for sure the lazy corrupt pols would defy the NRA and repeal the Second Amendment!

    And then everybody would be safe from people like him.

  15. I think this goes to show that socialists only want us disarmed, not them. Socialism is about power. Power, as in, they have it, and we do not!

  16. “Scientology jihad against medical treatment”? I don’t think so!

    I was just speculating on whether this kid had known “issues” that may have actually been under-treated….

  18. Yeah, remember when that idiot Wayne LaPierre went on national TV and suggested we put armed guards in schools? What a dope, huh?

  19. We will never know the pharmaceuticals he was on, nor what mercenary quack was pushing them on him. The news media consider such information to be unimportant.

  20. I don’t know about that. The propaganda dept. can always concoct a whole lifetime of accomplishments for him… before that fateful day when a “pig” cop shot him in the back.

  22. Nobody should be taking medication that contains “suicidal or homicidal thoughts or actions” as a side effect.
