Even more amazing is it all happens just as the dems kick off their campaign for more gun control.

The man identified as killing two people and wounding nine more in last night's shooting is John Russell Houser, 59, of Alabama.
He spent time in an East Alabama Mental Health Facility from 2008 to 2009, Russell County, Ga., Sheriff Heath Taylor tells KATC.
They're unsure what he was treated for, but will hold a press conference this afternoon to release information about him.
Houser was previously arrested for arson in Columbus, Georgia, but Taylor was unsure when that arrest happened. It may have been decades ago.
Houser was evicted from his Phenix City, Ala., home in March 2014, Taylor said. But he's unsure why he was evicted.
After the Sheriff's Office evicted him, he damaged the property. He disconnected the gas line into the fire place, causing fire to shoot of the line when it was turned on, Taylor said.
Phenix City Police took a report listing him as offender on criminal mischief, Taylor said. The warrant was never signed or carried out.
It's unclear whether he owned the gun he used in the shooting legally. He applied for a conceal-carry permit in 2006, but it was denied because of the arson charge, Taylor said.
That's because he had a previous charge of arson on his record from Columbus, Georgia.
Houser is also known as Rusty Houser, and apparently has a presence on social media as an outspoken conservative
The last thing someone posting as Rusty Houser posted on Facebook was in 2013, when he linked to an article called "A woman's place in the church and the weak church elder."He wrote, "The bible doesn't ask me to like what it says, only to obey it. Death comes soon to the financially failing filth farm called the US."
He only had two things liked on Facebook, among them "I hate liberals!"
Police called Houser a drifter and said he had only been in Lafayette since early July.
A man identified as John Russell Houser on Twitter tweeted only twice. He wrote, "If you don't think the internet is censored, try reading a newspaper from a country that hates liberals the way I do," in June 2013.
A little earlier, he wrote, "The Westboro Baptist Church may be the last real church in America members not brainwashed."
A man identified as Rusty Houser also posted on the website www.politicalforum.com. His last post, dated March 27, 2013, refers to the state of the American and world economies and says, "It is true that the US is about to fall. I will be in fear at that time as will everyone else, but not in a fear which resembles that of the leaders of foolishness and the brainwashed that follow.Truth carries with it an understanding of death. Rather than live without it,I will take death." [sic]
According to his LinkedIn profile, Houser claimed that he was an entrepreneur. The profile claims he owned and operated two bars and was a real estate developer. However, his last listed job is in 2006.
In addition, a John Russell Houser from Phenix City, Alabama, is listed as a member of a group called the Tea Party Nation. However, KATC could not confirm if this John Russell Houser is one in the same with the shooter.
This story is developing.
They're called "Liberals".
Fast and furious, you mean...
A conservative Iranian?
Conservative Iranians are “Persians.”
How did he find the food and accommodations?
Is he a ‘Rat supporter?
What I find amazing is how the dems came up with the premise of right wing radio/blogs/news are hate speech and it leads to violence and now conveniently there are alleged examples to support the dems premise.
Right wing hate speech is what led to the attempted muslim attack on the mad mo cartoon contest.
Right wing hate speech is what led to the church shootings.
Right wing hate speech is what led to the escaped dope peddler threatening Trump for what he’s saying about illegals.
Now we have more right wing hate speech leading to violence.
If a series of events seem to be too convenient to be just a coincidence they probably aren’t.
Even more amazing is it all happens just as the dems kick off their campaign for more gun control.

Son and I were just out at the gun range; practice makes perfect.
Telefon- 1977—exactly what I had in mind.
These programming/hypnosis techniques were well known in the Cold War.
I was told we had to read The Catcher in the Rye when I was in High School. I tried to read it. Put it down after the first chapter. I faked my way through class, got a B. Was happy. What the heck is it about that book and conspiracy theories?
And the ironic thing is that it is the Leftist speech that is full of hate.
Yet, the cause of all ills is Right wing hate speech.
The MO is repeated too often these days.
And it always serve to advance the Leftist agenda.
Truly, no crisis goes to waste.
Did you notice after the attempted attack in Texas how ISIS was supposed to have come up with a list of specific states they would be targeting but how convenient it was for the gun control crowd the list of states ISIS would be targeting were all key in gun control?
Just a coincidence I’m sure.
The mentally ill pick up and carry the zeitgeist earlier and more readily than most.
In the eighties they all carried briefcases, in the nineties they all carried pretend cell phones
Now they are all trans and homosexual and they do as the TV tells them.
One of the reasons that police work and crime details used to be private is that it was thought to inflame the unable. The least. The stupid. The mentally ill.
Now every other television show is a guide book on how to be a sociopath. How to be evil. How evil is celebrated.
Did not even realize we still have mental institutions. Since so many mental illnesses are now “normal” homosexuality, transgender, etc. I thought the liberals would have closed most of the hospitals down by know..........
It’s all coincidence. Totalllllllllllllllllly.
Two other times when the left has gone on a full scale campaign of “right wing hate speech leading to violence” we had the OKC bombing in 1995 and the attempted car bombing in NYC in 2010 which they tried to blame on the TEA Party because it was a fertilizer bomb like McVeigh used.
Amazing how the dems always seem to have their talking points in place before some event supports those talking points.
It’s also just a coincidence the MSM and leftist entertainment all at the same time have started using the Alinsky tactic of ridicule for people that notice something just isn’t right.
Notice how they all have started joking about Obama declaring martial law and using executive powers to seize guns.
