In an August social media post, Chris Harper-Mercer wrote about how much he admired shooters who were unknown loners, but became ‘known by everyone’

Everyone is wondering what Chris Harper-Mercer’s motive was for his shooting spree on the Umpaqua Community College campus in Roseburg, Oregon. Well here’s a good clue:
“On an interesting note, I have noticed that so many people like him [Vester Flanagan who killed a newscaster and her cameraman] are all alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are. A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day. Seems the more people you kill, the more you're in the limelight.”
That’s what the nutjob posted on social media last August. Apparently, like other unknown loners, he wanted to be in the public limelight and be known by everyone. Harper-Mercer got his wish and is now known throughout the world, albeit posthumously.
