Umpqua College Survivor Accounts and Shooter's Manifesto Contents
A female survivor was interviewed on CNN today. She was shot in the hand. She told the CNN interviewer that Mercer just started shooting people at first. Then he started asking about their religions, specifically if they were Catholic. Regardless of what the victims said, he shot them. She said that he made a girl in a wheelchair get on the floor and then shot her when she was trying to get back in the wheelchair.
I also saw an interview with the mother of the 18-year-old boy to whom the killer handed an envelope containing his manifesto. He told the boy that he was the "lucky one", handed him the envelope to give to police, and then forced him to watch the execution of his professor and his classmates. There was a brief video clip of the lucky one during the weekend memorial shown during the mother's interview; that kid is so traumatized - it's written all over his face.
Some details of the manifesto are being released. Nothing really surprising or original. In it, the killer reportedly ranted about not having a girlfriend. He also said he thought everyone else was 'crazy' - and he was the sane one. The 26 year old also wrote about dying 'friendless and a virgin' on a sheaf of papers that had the number 666 scrawled across them.
The manifesto was a couple of pages long. In it, he also spoke of his obsession with the devil and his hate for others. 'He had a hatred of black people, women, everyone,' a police source said over the weekend, adding: 'The drive and manifesto are being analysed. There is a lot about his hatred of organised religion.'
