Police found right-wing political books, brass knuckles, empty shotgun shell boxes and a handgun in the Powell home of a man who said he attacked a church in order to kill liberals "who are ruining the country," court records show.
This guy was not a conservative, because he was with out a job. Conservatives can always find a job.
The news has been saying they “disarmed” the gunman, maybe that’s what you heard?
Either way, you’ve got to like Tennessee. Even the liberals there are willing to charge a man who pulls out a shotgun and risk their own life to take him down. God bless them. If all the liberals were like those guys, our country wouldn’t be in half the mess it’s in.
Also........the laughable one. It looks like 6 people were on this story...and nobody caught this one: Owen said Adkisson's stated hatred of the liberal movement was not necessarily connected to any hostility toward Christianity or religion per say, but rather the political advocacy of the church.
Since the First Century.
That looks like the guy who is on at lunch time on the FM talk station in Boston.
Even the liberals there are willing to charge a man who pulls out a shotgun and risk their own life to take him down.
The South. What can I say? I moved to the South 4 years ago from the San Francisco Bay Area. I've always felt safer around those who are openly and lawfully armed, than those who march in anti-American protests and carry molotov cocktails in their backpacks, or who bicycle around in mob groups attacking citizens.
Now now Dan...the guy needed something to read when he went #2, you know...ROFL
GMTA
Reading a later article produces a slight correction.. I think. If had only fired 3 rounds, the police reported finding 3 fired shells, from a semi-auto, he probably wasn't empty (Unless he left the plug in the magazine, yah never know.) But, I guess he could still have been topping off the magazine.
Most likely they tackled him in spite of his not stopping to reload.
For that they are true heroes in the finest traditions of the American race and I salute them.
That's not consistent with a guy who has problems with Christianity.
Lol!
Savage, O’Reilly and Hannity are rank amateurs.
Actually, there is a very good reason why there is no other reported information pertaining to any other books.
The three books discussed were obtained pursuant to a search warrant and delivered to the court as evidence. I can only guess as evidence to support JDA’s stated motive.
There’s no question that what happened Sunday was a horrible tragedy. I’m worried now that the lives lost in Knoxville this weekend are quickly going to become political fodder in a push from the left to quell any dissenting speech and label political discussion as domestic terrorism.
If the Democrat majority in the Senate successfully passes S1959 (which O’Bama supports by the way), a dangerous precedent will be set. Can you imagine the Lib’s using this terrible tragedy as a way to label true and outspoken conservatives as domestic terrorists just for expressing their First Amendment right to free speech?
Look around the web, a lot of Lib’s are blogging that some media outlet must stand up and declare this to be what it is— an act of domestic terrorism.
NO, actually, let’s take the lead and call it what it is. First degree murder punishable by death in Tennessee, PERIOD!
Okay, the guy owned some books written by conservative authors. Guess he’s our spokesperson now, huh? Really? I cannot believe the garbage I am reading in some places. We cannot let the Lib’s play the domestic terror card. That is of course, unless you want the Pelosi-Obama thought police monitoring this blog and deciding what rights we get to keep.
I actually read a post from one idiot claiming that “while they might not have pulled the trigger, they definitely aimed the gun.”
I happen to live in Knoxville and I’ve never heard Hannity say anything on 100.3 about the TVUUC or murdering people. This is sad, so sad. Lib’s are going to use these poor murdered souls politically and demand reparations from conservatives. Seriously, there are more important things to worry about right now; like the poor children who witnessed a mass-murder during church.
He sounds like a Libertarian.
Well said. This should be portrayed for what it is: cold blooded killings by someone most likely mentally ill.
Liberalism is a mental disorder....Bwa ha ha ha...I love that title.
My guess as to the reason why Rush was not on his reading list is because he has not written a book in about 10 - 12 years. This is a terrible tragedy, but the title of Savage’s book is truly ironic. My guess is that he’s listened to a lot more of Savage than anyone else. I can see how excessive listening of Michael Savage can make you want to take your guns out and ensure they are oiled up and ready. He’s a little too far out for me, though I’ll listen to him once in a while when nothing else interesting is on the radio.
This story really brings home the fact that right-wingers almost never do this kind of crap. I can’t remember the last time I heard of a mass shooter being any kind of conservative. Now this guy is going to be brought up by liberals for the next 20 years as their proof that conservative gun owners are a menace to society.
I don’t understand how a guy his age could be so angry when he still has all his hair.
