Quote# 60577

An unemployed truck driver seething over liberalism told police he opened fire in a church last year because it harbored gays and multiracial families and he hoped others would follow his example.

"They just glory (in) these weirdos and sickos and homos," he said in an interview recorded by investigators.

He also railed against the Unitarian Church: "That ain't a church, that's a damned cult," Adkisson said.

Adkisson walked into the church, pulled a sawed-off shotgun from a guitar case and fired into a congregation of about 230 people watching a children's musical performance.

Adkisson left a four-page suicide note in his SUV in the church parking lot. In it, he described the attack as "a hate crime,"

Adkisson concluded, "I'd like to encourage other like-minded people to do what I've done. If life ain't worth living anymore don't just kill yourself. Do something for your country before you go. Go kill liberals."

Catherine Murray, who was friends with the couple, told police Adkisson had drug and alcohol problems and "basically was afraid of anybody or anything that was not like him."

[According to Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, and a whole host of conservative pundits, Yes.]

I hear you, and I couldn't agree more. I was simply trying to point out the shooter's obvious hypocrisy in my earlier post.

Yet we leave lesser cases of this form of insanity alone?

Seriously, there is just no room for xenophobia in our global society anymore! It's not like the old days, where you never had to experience or know about anything outside your own neighborhood. We must work with diverse people. We must respect diverse people. End of story.

Are you really punishing a suicidal person by imposing the Death Penalty on him? Sounds more like you're giving him what he wants.

So...he walks into a church, unprovoked, uninvited, and opens fire on men, women and children who wanted nothing more than to worship in peace, and then...and then he has the nerve...the unmitigated GALL to try and claim moral superiority over them as well? And then encourages others to go around killing women and children, purely on the basis that they don't believe exactly like him. Fucking monster.

With unemployment and people's lives going to hell in a hand basket, I'm assuming we'll be seeing a lot more of this.

I'd rather glory in weirdos and sickos and homos than glory in murdering people in cold blood in front of children. But then I'm a godless liberal.

The Builder should crush this child-killing heathen in the cogs of His great Machine.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron. Thou shalt dash them in pieces, like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore ye kings. Be admonished ye judges of the earth. Serve the Builder with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the cog lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his wrath be kindled but a little.

Yes Adkisson, you have clearly demonstrated that you are far more moral than all of us Liebrals by murdering fifteen people in a church during a children's musical. Way to show us the error of our ways.

Excuse me, he only killed two people. I must have confused him with a different murderer. My point still stands.

Tragic event but
"basically was afraid of anybody or anything that was not like him."
sounds familiar and only leads to one thing

to encourage other like-minded people


Does this mean people with something like a mind?

Hmm. If I were to make a serious guess, I would say that the wiring in this guy's brain was off from the beginning, and that he was self-medicating to deal with it.

But...WTF is all that stuff about encouraging others to do the same thing? "Do something for your country before you go. Go kill liberals"?

Oh, Republican Party, what have you spawned?

I'm a Unitarian...Our church held a memorial for this slaughter. How are we a cult? We accept everyone and aren't creedal...how can you say this is a cult when there are Christians indoctrinating their children and threatening them with hell and eternal pain? Telling them they can't be who they are. Spawning horrendous acts like this.....I can't even believe it...

Someone I knew pointed at this and told me it was an example of how atheists were out to get Christians.. before he realized that it was actually an average Christian out to get more reasonable Christians.
