Knoxville, Tenn. police has released a statement that a letter in the car of church shooter Jim D. Adkisson reveals that he targeted the congregation due to its liberal views on civil liberties and women’s and gay rights. Adkisson killed two people at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in the middle of a children’s performance.
Chief Sterling Owen IV said Adkisson had a “stated hatred of the liberal movement.” He is now charged with first-degree murder. Among the complaints against the church was its founding of a chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
The children were performing “Annie” when Adkisson decided to kill people in the name of the true faith. According to reports, Greg McKendry, a 60-year-old usher and board member at the church, blocked the killer and was his first victim, click here.
It is simply astonishing that even a demented killer would think that God would want him to mow down Christians who are not sufficiently conservative, including children. Some reports indicate that he had problems with Christians in general, click here. It takes a lot of hate to walk into a scene of children performing in a religious sanctuary and turn it into a place of massacre. Of course, as with the Virginia Tech massacre, the story also reveals the best of humanity in those adults who confronted his man at the risk of their own lives. Had he not been restrained by church members, the death toll might have been much greater.
Ironically, the ACLU and these church members would likely be the first to defend Adkisson’s rights as he faces a potential death penalty for his alleged crimes.

Don’t worry patty.
I started a “file” for you, the night you FIRST started attacking me.
And unfortunately for you, the posts remain, and in each and every thread, you opened your big, fat, mouth, everytime first.
FIRST PATTY.
YOU.
Not me. YOU.
And anytime you need the file for reference douchebag, let me know.

Naw, it’s like being stalked by Inspector Clouseau. I kind of like his childish rants. They are fun to correct and I am guessing he’s just waiting for the next comment to pounce like Cato. Like most kids, he’ll just go away one day, but in the meantime let’s enjoy the show. Popcorn ready?
Mespo, you win the bet 😉
Mespo,
He’s stalking us.
I started a file here. You?

I am torn between Paranoia and God Delusion on this one. Can you help? On another topic, I conceded our bet too soon
😐

I move that we limit ourselves to one thought per comment

Lead by example Schmoozie.
Lead by example.
I’d say the Paranoia would be her ancestors hiding out in the storage hold of the Mayflower, for fear of being found out.
The God delusion would’ve been her ancestors carrying the Union Jack into battle, thinking they’d actually escape the hangmans noose.

By the way, refresh my memory. Which “dead ancestors” were you upset that I mocked?
The ones who came over in the cargo hold of the Mayflower?
😀
Or the ones carrying the Union Jack into battle during the Revolution, even though they were living in Virginia at the time?

Bring it on.
😀
Thank you George W. Bush.
Yea…. left that little part out in your tirade, didn’t you crazy patty?
You just sorta “forget” the fact that you each time, attacked me first.
😐
Its what you “medical” folks call, “selective amnesia”.

That’s right! You did insult me AND my dead ancestors
Lol, no, I “mocked them”.
Theres a difference.
😀
And ONLY after, you came in, and demanded I leave.
Remember that crazy patty?
That’s right! You did insult me AND my dead ancestors – the pilgrims,
, the Governor, and the Yankee soldiers.
Thanks for reminding me! And I wanted you to leave for insulting me and my heritage in every conceivable way.
And when do it again, I will have exactly the same reaction.
Bring it on.
You won’t have to come looking for me, to start trouble, like you did in the thread where professor Pausch died.
No sir.
From now on, since you and mespo like playing the “lets kick Bartlebee game”, I will be happy to help you by just “being there”, whenever you open your mouths to anyone, about anything.
That should help you see the err in your ways.
😀
In the words of the “Shocker”, “No more Mr Nice Guy”.
Oh, do I have your attention now, …patty?
For all your little pretend playing nice now, we can all see the truth, which is you’ve been following me from thread to thread and insulting me, demanding I leave, and barking orders like some kind of self annointed blog czar. In fact, the very first night I posted you said this “I want you to leave”.
But now, the “jigs up” so to speak.
I’ve taken all the unwarranted attacks from you and your pal mespo, that I am going to take.
You want to follow me around and start shit with me first? Like you’ve been doing for more than a week now?
No problem. In fact, I’m gonna make it easier for you now.
From now on, I will do for you what you and mespo have been doing for me.
😐
In fact it’ll my pleasure.
‘We’re there and it’s vast, desolate, and scary. Yikes!’…
****
You said it, “butt buddy” LOL
I just spent some time reading Bartlebee’s posts which I do avoid doing because I regard him as obnoxious and his posts as a waste of precious time – since day one.
I have been trying to ignore him. It’s difficult to do when he posts 50 times a day. I admit it.
My remark about his comment about Randy was something of a compliment
– in hopes he would be inspired to do something with his life.
He took it as an insult.
My only real complaint is that he posts too often.
I am not interested, at all, in what he has to say, much less in ‘debating’ him. That will ‘uh’ never happen.
You two inbreds made your bed.
😐
Now, lets see how you like lying in it.
From now on, you will get the exact same treatment, you two inbred morons, have been giving me.
You want to follow me into threads?
Harrass me?
Insult me?
Slander me?
Fine.
😀
I’ll be happy to do likewise to both of you.
Ok, enoughs enough.
I have given you two every chance I could to just LEAVE ME ALONE. I’ve avoided you, and never spoken to either of you first.
Yet, in almost every thread I go into you come in and start insulting me, then mock me when I dare to respond.
Up until I’ve consigned myself to playing “defense”.
But since you two rubes want to continue your verbal insults and attacks on me, I think it is only fitting, that I return the favor.
😐
You may both now, consider Bartlebee, at your service.
Gyges:
Sorry for the delayed reply but my doppelganger always answers for me as he is much smarter. Ask him-he’ll tell you so. I agree the nom is just a baiter and will probably never be heard from again. In a better world his name would be russ or matha h or even dunder–where is nilet BTW?
nom deplume
typical response from a rightie playing the victim. need i remind this moron that right wing talk shows dominate the airwaves? Get off your high horse and take repsonsibility for the ugliness generated by you narrow minded, constitution hating nazis. there, i vented, i feel better, but you will always be a pompous moron goose stepping to your superior drum. it’s our turn now (Obama). Just wait until the real truth behind your failed “god in the whitehouse” republican administration is made public. how can you NOT be ashamed? are you THAT stupid?
