It is one thing to file stuff in the hummm file but to see some of this stuff first hand really is a shock ! Look at what CNN has done to Mercer the last big shooter ! The Curious Case of Oregon Shooter Chris Harper-Mercer – A Social Media Profile Shaped, Modified and Deleted…
I am not in the states but would really appreciate if someone can tell me this is all B.S. Otherwise people it really is all over as far as truth
The Los Angeles Times has labeled the Oregon shooter as having “white supremacist leanings” even though the shooter was black. The shooter identified as “mixed race” and reportedly had a black mother. Quoting an alleged anonymous source in law enforcement, the paper wrote, “A federal law enforcement source familiar with the investigation said, though, that authorities had obtained some of Harper-Mercer’s writings, as well as a note he left behind, suggesting that he supported white-supremacist causes and opposed organized religion. He also liked to discuss military history, the official said.”
Regarding the race of the shooter and his motivations, the Daily Beast reported that the shooter admired the black Roanoke shooter who expressed racial motivations for his actions. They also wrote, “The father is Caucasian, Evans said, while Mercer’s mother, Laurel Harper, is black.”
The absurdity and apparent lack of an actual knowledgeable source in the LA Times article was first pointed out by Daniel Greenfield in FrontPage Magazine. He wrote:
According to the LA Times, Chris Harper Mercer, the Oregon killer, was a “White Supremacist”.
One slight problem. Mercer identified as multi-racial. His mother was black. He doesn’t seem to have even known his father. He identified with black TV killer Vester Lee Flanagan.
Though it is possible that someone resembling the Dave Chappelle character Clayton Bigsby, who was a blind black white supremacist, did exist, we can all agree that it is unlikely.

it's not bs. i saw everything mentioned including the lightened image to make him seem whiter..erm, more caucasiany.. uh, less black
As a creature of thought, my opinions are subject to change with the amount of knowledge and insight gained. The reason it's called the past is because it's already passed.
The day that firearms are taken in America is the day that it's over...look at Cuba, Castro convinced the people that they didn't need firearms 50-60 years later dictatorship still there if you were to drop say a couple thousand rifles and hundred 2-3 hundred thousand rounds yea Cuba would be free...
Sad to say sky ...... The america we knew and fought for is long dead ...... replaced by big brother and the ministry of truth ......
We were lucky and got out before the fall ....... many dont or wont have the luxury of escape to freedom .....
Its dark days now .......
I honestly admire you, and envy the ability to do as you have done - make the break and start anew. America was built on the same sort of spirit, people coming here to make the break and start anew in a free land of potential and possibility.
It's not something I can do. Physically, I could, but mentally and emotionally are another matter. I can't leave this land. this is the land my ancestors are buried in, going back thousands of years in many cases. They lived here, made this their home, fought bled and died here to retain what they had wrested from the Earth. This is the land I was born in, and it's the land I will die in. Good or bad, it's MINE - the knotheads in DC just haven't figured out the right ownership hierarchy.
You are absolutely right - this IS the Dark Ages for America, and much of the western world. But for me to leave, I would feel as If I were betraying my ancestors, and all they stood for. It's a mental problem, more than anything else I think.
The first photo published in the Los Angeles Times related to the fiery automobile accident that took the life of Michael Hastings in 2013, was PhotoShop'd.
They had a photo of the vehicle - so, I presume they took said photo 'on scene' - but cropped the vehicle into another image of the same street, but a block or more away from the actual scene.
Why?
Just as you are asking... What purpose of changing the lighting in the photo of said shooter...except subterfuge.
You have to wonder, though - do they have a playbook, or something (handed down from above) that lets them know what agenda they are supposed to be promoting?
... And ...They DO IT...as a matter of course (job security?) ?
... Or are these the acts of lone-wolf journalists, producers &/or photographers?

I DID NOT see that coming! Thanks for posting, Sky. Will have to check this out further....
Me either.........in fact this is more confusing being as on one source, which I will have to look up tomorrow, his father blamed his actions on guns, to which social media went crazy (supposedly) saying it was his parenting that caused this to happen
Needless to say, they did not agree with the father
But this is all very odd
Hate when MSM gets bits and pieces here and there, then omitting some info for a better read, putting a phony spin on the story that is usually found to be untrue
Maybe in another week, the actual details will be released correctly and not misleading
Sad tragedy regardless
Thoughts and prayers go out to all the families involved

CNN (or whoever really!)... even took out blemishes from the man's face! I used to do this for a living and the person who altered the photograph hasn't got a clue.
The discrepancies around the head, the obvious tampering within the spectacle lenses... I suppose the poor workmanship came down to lack of time and the confidence that the viewers wouldn't discover the truth!!
Sadly, this sort of manipulation goes on every day.
Hahahahahahaha ...... is good joke ...... but aside from a small handfull that wouldnt last long ..... the majority the public over there too fat ..... lazy...... apathetic ...... stupid ...... ballless wonders that couldnt fight their way out of a wet paper bag with directions ........ and what their little peashooters going to do against tanks ...... drones with hellfire missiles ...... artillery ...... and all the other toys scammy has at his disposal ....... they going to do same as they are now - bend over and smile while they take it ....... yep ..... is good joke .......

I agree with part of that but....there are those who know what they are doing and I would never leave out our military guys who do not always agree with orders passed from on high.. Oath Keepers and a few other groups are actually kinda organized. However arty, snakes, and drones would make for some serious problems for any group not to mention some of the arms the cops now have.. ways around all that stuff but lone wolves ain't gonna cut it IMO unless they just want to die.
OK CNN did not do the photo shop. This all came about from twitter.
The L.A. paper is still claiming the Black Muslim was a white racist (go figure on that one) but CNN is innocent on this story. www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread1087192/pg1... Some darn good detective work by the creator of that thread..
Just thought I would let you guys know... I actually feel better now.. kinda almost...

Daitengu! I am shocked! You of all people know that you don't shoot tank with peashooters, or even rifles! You shoot the contents of the tanks! How you get those contents out, now, THAT is where it gets inventive and creative!
The trick to dealing with Hellfire missiles is to just not be where they are - it's fairly easy, but not nearly as easy as I make it sound! Now, for the drones, you have to get real creative and inventive - but the best hint I've got is not to shoot at the drones... they'll fall right out of the sky usually within 24 hours if certain support mechanisms are done away with. An army moves on it's stomach... but a mechanical army moves on POL dumps.
