3. He Was Very Political & Could Get Heated Pierson's Facebook page, before it was taken down, was a window into the mind of the accused shooter. He wrote a lot about economics and politics, calling himself a "Keynesian" and jesting that neoclassic economic theory would not help fix the economy. He also used his Facebook to routinely mock Republicans like this, as quoted by the Denver Post: The Republican Party: Health Care: Let 'em Die, Climate Change: Let 'em Die, Gun Violence: Let 'em Die, Women's Rights: Let 'em Die, More War: Let 'em Die. Is this really the side you want to be on? One classmate described him as harmless but said he could get verbally aggressive and very heated when debating and discussing politics with teachers and student.

Another report http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2013/12/13/arapahoe-high-school-shooter-karl-halverson-pierson-leftist-strongly-gun-control/
Karl Halverson Pierson was a far left progressive who mocked Republicans on his Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/karlisboss) and was against gun rights for legal owners. Isn’t that amazing, that a left wing nut job, against gun rights for legal owners is responsible for the Arapahoe High School shooting today. He is now dead, and there is reportedly one person in critical condition. Leftist hypocrites like Karl Halverson Pierson never cease to amaze. The corrupt media such as NBC (http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/12/13/21896258-colorado-school-gunman-seen-as-bright-and-passionate-about-politics?lite)mentions that Pierson had strong political views. He was a big fan of socialism, but that was scrubbed from the original Denver Post story. If you want to read about Pierson’s love for socialism, you need to read about it in an Australian news paper (http://www.news.com.au/world/two-students-injured-in-arapahoe-high-school-shooting/story-fndir2ev-1226783250108) as NO American media outlet reports on this inconvenient fact. The Denver Post which originally reported on his love for socialism changed the wording to ‘Keynesian.’
At first glance, you might assume that Pierson was a strong advocate of gun rights, not gun control. But if you read the entire Denver Post (http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_24721367/arapahoe-high-gunman-held-strong-political-beliefs-classmates) article about Karl Pierson and his ‘strong’ political opinions, you will learn the real story:
Almost sounds like Alan Grayson. I’m sure Pierson was a big fan of his. So Karl Pierson was a big progressive liberal and if he could vote would mostly likely be registered as a Democrat. Now the media can drop this story like a hot potato because yet again Pierson doesn’t fit the narrative for them. They want Karl Pierson to be some sort of conservative kid who had racist views, and loved his parents guns. Sorry NBC and the rest of you media hacks, you lose again. He is one of your own.
One has to wonder why this nut was targeting a teacher in the first place. Could it be because the teacher had different political views than Pierson? You know how tolerant of opposing views these militant progressive liberals are. This really has to sting the progressive liberal Democrats who immediate determined that Pierson was a member of the Tea Party, the GOP and NRA earlier (http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2013/12/13/right-on-schedule-leftists-blame-nra-gop-for-arapahoe-high-school-shooting/). I guess Brian Ross wouldn’t have to Google Karl Halverson Pierson (http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2012/07/20/absoluately-disgraceful-abc-blames-tea-party-for-james-holmes-shooting-up-colorado-theater-during-batman-movie-the-dark-knight-rises-screening/).

In one Facebook post, Pierson attacks the philosophies of economist Adam Smith, who through his invisible-hand theory pushed the notion that the free market was self-regulating. In another post, he describes himself as "Keynesian."
"I was wondering to all the neoclassicals and neoliberals, why isn't the market correcting itself?" he wrote. "If the invisible hand is so strong, shouldn't it be able to overpower regulations?"Pierson also appears to mock Republicans on another Facebook post, writing "you republicans are so cute" and posting an image that reads: "The Republican Party: Health Care: Let 'em Die, Climate Change: Let 'em Die, Gun Violence: Let 'em Die, Women's Rights: Let 'em Die, More War: Let 'em Die. Is this really the side you want to be on?"
Carl Schmidt and Brendon Mendelson, both seniors at Arapahoe High, knew Pierson. They said he had political views that were "outside the mainstream," but they did not elaborate.
Schmidt said the shooter "was an outspoken kid about what he believed and a good political thinker."
Mendelson added, "He did have a lot of friends. He was popular with the people he knew."
