Alleged Arizona Shooter Posted Gun And Conspiracy Links

Posted by | September 19, 2015 20:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


Leslie Allen Merritt, Jr, 21, is being held on charges in the Arizona freeway shootings. He posted on Facebook about guns and put up links to conspiracy websites.

Merritt has not been charged with all eleven of the shootings with authorities believing some may be the handiwork of copycat shooters.

According to police, a 9MM handgun owned by Merritt has been positively linked through ballistic testing to the shootings which resulted in no deaths and a few minor injuries from flying glass.

On a now taken down Facebook page purportedly belonging to Les Merritt Jr. — with photos and employment history matching the suspect  — the New Times reports that there were pro-gun posts and memes including one featuring a high-powered rifle reading “Long range shooting, it’s like golf…but for men.”

Merritt also posted a link to conspiracy website allnewspipeline.com for an article suggesting the U.S. government is experimenting with introducing the black plague into the populace as a form of population control. Over the headline reading “As Darkness Descends On The United States First – Is The Black Plague Intentionally Being Given A Trial Run?,” Merritt wrote “Government fucking shit up.”

      One of their top headlines:
      Have Movies Been Scripting Out Our Future All Along? What If These Science Fiction Movies Were Directed By The Devil Himself? The Face Of Humanity’s Extinction

      If that ain’t credible to you, then you just don’t watch enough Fox!

    They tried to interview the kid’s dad. He seemed nice.

    • whatthe46 September 19th, 2015 at 20:22

      why the tease? what happened?

      • BigDumbWhiteGuy September 19th, 2015 at 20:34

        He came to the door shirtless, ranting and raving about how they’ve got the wrong person, the cops are morons, etc. About what you’d expect from a low-IQ denizen of Arizona.

        • bpollen September 19th, 2015 at 20:38

          The interview looked more like a Cops episode… except in this case, the shirtless loudmouth didn’t get arrested.

      • katkelly57 September 19th, 2015 at 21:22

        I just saw it on the news…dad said, “Whoever said my son did it is a fucking moron!”
        I just about pmsl here.
        And yes, it did seem like a scene from Cops.

        The kid told the judge he didn’t do it ‘cos his gun was in the pawn shop for two weeks.

        • whatthe46 September 19th, 2015 at 21:25

    Functional illiterates fall victim to another treatable disease scam!
    Teabola shitheads’16~ vs. Reality: Antibiotics are effective in treating plague. Examples of antibiotics that can be used include ciprofloxacin(Cipro, Cipro XR, Proquin XR), streptomycin, gentamicin (Garamycin), anddoxycycline (Vibramycin, Oracea, Adoxa, Atridox). http://www.medicinenet.com/plague_facts/page3.htm#what_is_the_treatment_for_plague

    The republicans have been stirring up the crazies for years, and it does not matter if they had “Republican” tattooed on their forehead, they would still claim the gunman was a liberal.

    Liberals, the people who republicans say hate guns…but are always the gunman…so if liberals hate guns and don’t have any guns, how are they shooting people?

    The GOP is aptly named the Stupid Party.
