Denver Post says Arapahoe High School shooter a socialist, later scrubs reference

Once again we find ourselves faced with another shooting that is drawing nationwide attention and it appears as if it was another lunatic who's views were on the far left of the isle. There is no doubt that this new incident will be used to push the recently considered failed gun-control bills back in to action. I do not know a lot about the case myself. I did here a few tid bits from the NBC Nightly News while my wife was watching it and I heard them say he bought the gun legally so immediately I had a feeling. False flag or not. This will be used as an example of a legal gun purchased and used in this crime. I even heard the news say that he had all the mental health help available and it just appeare3d to me as if they were slanting it in to a gun-control finally. Stay vigilant people. The war on guns and the 2nd Amendment is still in full swing. The only thing that has changed are the tactics being used.

This is why I refer to the so-called “mainstream media” as the Democrat-media complex.

On Friday, the Denver Post cited a classmate of Karl Pierson, the alleged Arapahoe High School shooter, who called Pierson a “very opinionated Socialist.” But a few hours later, the Post removed all references to Pierson being a socialist.



Examiner reported Saturday morning:


The Post said Pierson described himself as a “Keynesian” on Facebook who mocked Republicans and had outspoken views on a variety of topics — including guns.

Two other seniors who reportedly knew Pierson said he had political views that were “outside the mainstream,” but, the Post added, they did not elaborate.

One student, however, did elaborate, and the Post cited him.

“Thomas Conrad, who had an economics class with the gunman, described him as a very opinionated Socialist,” the Post said.

But, as Examiner reported later, the reference was changed:


Thomas Conrad, who had an economics class with Pierson, described him as very opinionated.

So, how did Pierson go from being a “very opinionated Socialist” to just being “very opinionated”?

And why would the Post see fit to keep that from the public?

Good questions, but don’t hold your breath waiting for an answer.

A post at Bearing Arms put it bluntly:

“It’s always about protecting the narrative, and defending the party, comrades.”

Incidents like this are the reason a vast majority do not trust today’s news media.
