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.

He’ll probably be “Green Warrant” eligible by then
Since you initiated contact with me, each and every time, it would be you, and your friend patty, for whom any “warrant” would apply.
😐
Fortunately however, the First Amendment is still in place, and you are free to comment to and even insult me in this public forum, just as I am free to tell you both to bite me.
1:10 AM.
Patty INITIATES contact, with “Battlebee”.
Read it and weep, LIAR.
Uhhh, Lindy Lou is it?
Who just happened to find her way to this dead thread that was finished yesterday to help along your tag team schmucks?
😀
How nice.
uhhh. Cindy, aka Patty, aka douchebag number 1?
I WAS on the topic of the thread, discussing the thread with Susan, Rafflaw and one other person, when you and your scumbag partner, messpot came in and started attacking me.
Don’t worry though. Your comments are not going away.
Nor will the timestamps.
Battlebee:
Is it true that great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and small minds discuss other people? Can’t you just stick to the ideas and leave off the insults?
It’s amazing how the topic of discussion now revolves around a person who seems to have very little real interest in the topic at hand.
See Patty C, I told you it would be like Ringling Brothers. I’m tiring though. You deal with the child and I’ll take a break. Let me know if he’s shooting his mouth off in the wee hours. He’ll probably be “Green Warrant” eligible by then.

It boggles the mind.

Bartlebee (my final post directly to you):
When it’s your final post “about” me, then let me know.
Until then you can kiss my ass, douchebag.
Bartlebee (my final post directly to you):
Nope, never claimed you were stalking me. Simply said being stalked by you is like being stalked by Inspector Clouseau–comparative not complaintive. I really don’t think you could keep up! Like the “original” invective though. Let me know when you run out, I’ll suggest a few, but I would suggest you quit picking on and cursing ladies–it’s bad form even for you. By my reckoning you’re digging a hole with our host that even an elegy won’t fix. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Pocorn is ready! Ya like butter on yours?
😐
..uuhhh… thats not butter patty….
Course, he claims to be an lawyer so ….
😐
When in Rome ay?
I was kidding about the file, but apparently he’s not.
Pocorn is ready! Ya like butter on yours?
And at 1:29 AM, LIAR number 2, aka douchebag number 2, aka messpot, also initiated contact.
😮
But he said Bartlebee is stalking him.
Making him, a LIAR.
L
I
A
R
😀
LIAR.
At 1:10 AM, PATTY initated contact with Bartlebee, making demands in an utterly insulting manner.
Thus Patty is a LIAR.
LIAR.
😐
Pants on F.I.R.E
Now, as for douchebag number 1, who likewise is a liar.
Notice above it is she who initiates contact, just as douchebag number 2 did, in an insulting and ugly manner.
Observe.

I have a request.
I would like you, Bartlebee, to limit yourself to one post an hour
– or less!
I would appreciate the opportunity to blog with my fellow ‘turlees’
as I, and we all did, before you showed up…
You are taking up to much space
————–
So we see, douchebag number 1, is likewise proven a liar, as she herself is the one who has been stalking Bartlebee, as each thread will show.
Which makes Patty a LIAR.
😐
L.I.A.R
LIAR.
LIAR.
Liar.

Patty C:
Naw, it’s like being stalked by Inspector Clouseau.
Lets expose douchebag number 2, for the liar that he is.
Douchebag number 2 here claims that I was “stalking” him.
But the posts in all threads, show he FIRST initiated contact, each and every time.
In fact, this very post shows that.
Here, douchebag number 2. Here’s your LIE, exposed.

**********************
I second that emotion, with one amendment. I move that we limit ourselves to one thought per comment and that the posting be concise and complete unto itself. We’re getting some that, in the words of Churchill, “by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.” It’s a pipe dream I know, but we can ask.
So we see, douchebag number 2, intiated contact.
NOT Bartlebee.
So we see, messpo, aka douchebag number 2, is a liar.
