Yesterday a man went inside a church to just start shooting people up like it's going out of style, all because he blamed liberal and gays for his own inability to find a job.

My guess is he's a conservative (Which doesn't really matter when it comes to live and death ), but this idiot lives up to the stereotype of the redneck with a gun who has to direct his anger and own incompetence on someone else to justify taking peoples lifes in all places a church.

Anyone I feel who can justify this type of animal in the name of being conservative or anything else, ought to get the needle like this man will.

I also blame networks like fox who spew this partisan bullshit to uneducated yahoo's like this one, and inspire them to shoot up anything or anyone who does'nt go with this conservative (another word for retarded) crap that these networks feed them.

This is just my oppinion on this, let me know what the rest of you think.

I think you're the epitome of social grace and erudition, just like your ideological comrades. I tip my hat to you.

Another victim of neo-cons' policies, has been tolerance; sick bastards like this low-life in Tennessee, will actually be looked upon as a "hero" by some for standing up against gays......akin to those that blow up abortion clinics.

This man was unemployed, had been on food stamps (but the state was planning to reduce or stop those).... and among other things, he had previously threatened extreme violence against his (now ex) spouse, telling her he would blow her brains out and his own as well. Sounds more like an angry mentally unstable individual who for whatever reason or reasons could not hold down a job for very long. I'd say he was more of a neo-criminal than a neo-conservative.

Personally, I doubt he was an actual political conservative. I don't know of many conservatives who are chronically unemployed and on food stamps. Maybe there are a few out there. It's possible I suppose. I do agree that unstable low intelligence people like him might be influenced by the talking heads on Fox and elsewhere who tend to blame everything that's wrong in America and the world on the evil pinko liberal conspiracy.

I posted his photo below. The recent pic was provided by the Knoxville Police Dept. I assume it was taken while he was in custody. I don't see anything that slightly resembles remorse in his face and eyes. Do you? On the contrary, he seems to actually be proud of what he's done, as if to say, I guess I showed those gay-loving equal rights anti-war liberals a thing or two.

Notice he did not bother to take his own life with that 12 gauge he was carrying. He was tackled when he stopped to reload, but if he had wanted to kill himself, he could have brought along his .38 cal. handgun and used it to shoot himself in the head. I take that to mean he's also a coward along with being a freeloader and too stupid and or deranged to hold down a job. Watch for the guy's lawyer to try and enter an insanity plea on his client's behalf. Maybe he will be able to show that watching too much Fox News pushed the guy over the line. The Fox-Hannity-Limbaugh-Savage Defense. Hmmmmmm, I like it.

And Sleek called the kettle black.

He's from Tennessee, so he must be a redneck. And rednecks with guns must be dangerous lunatics who shoot up churches. Wow. Talk about stereotyping.

He doesn't like gays, so he must be a conservative. The gays of the world who hold conservative views want to hear more from your oh so open mind. The conservatives who are not anti-gay may also be interested.

FOX? Are you serious? Have you seen their programming? Family Guy and American Dad both constantly poke fun at not only gays but the perceived notion you have about the people who you perceive to have the notions you perceive FOX to be promoting. Those shows and MADtv poke major fun at the very kind of thinking you think they promote.

Jim Adkisson is an angry little man who decided to blame someone other than himself for his own problems. If he had waited a day or two, he may have been shooting up flower shop because the house across the street form the last place he applied for a job at had pink flamingos in the yard.

What? Hold on.

Ray, are you wearing a t-shirt that says "Free Jim"?

I blame global warming.

You are addressing me, why? I was answering Sleek's original post. While on the topic, Ray is one of those tolerant compassionate conservatives...

Mentally unstable people, as this guy clearly is, can grasp at anything and use it as motivation for their intentions. The political excuse he used means nothing as he likely is unable to comprehend much outside of the insanity in his own head. He is just another nutcase.

How much ya wanna bet he's an ex-marine?
