The Knoxville Gunman's Manifesto.

According to the blog Orcinus, the Knoxville Gunman, Jim Adkisson, who went on a rampage last July in a Unitarian church killing 2 people at an amateur performance of Annie before being subdued by onlookers, wrote a manifesto stating clearly why he did it.  It was released shortly after he was sentenced to life in prison for the murders.  He originally intended it to be a suicide note.

Here are some excerpts for you to read:

"Know this if nothing else: This was a hate crime. I hate the damn left-wing liberals. There is a vast left-wing conspiracy in this country & these liberals are working together to attack every decent & honorable institution in the nation, trying to turn this country into a communist state. Shame on them....

"This was a symbolic killing. Who I wanted to kill was every Democrat in the Senate & House, the 100 people in Bernard Goldberg's book. I'd like to kill everyone in the mainstream media. But I know those people were inaccessible to me. I couldn't get to the generals & high ranking officers of the Marxist movement so I went after the foot soldiers, the chickenshit liberals that vote in these traitorous people. Someone had to get the ball rolling. I volunteered. I hope others do the same. It's the only way we can rid America of this cancerous pestilence."

"I thought I'd do something good for this Country Kill Democrats til the cops kill me....Liberals are a pest like termites. Millions of them Each little bite contributes to the downfall of this great nation. The only way we can rid ourselves of this evil is to kill them in the streets. Kill them where they gather. I'd like to encourage other like minded people to do what I've done. If life aint worth living anymore don't just kill yourself. do something for your Country before you go. Go Kill Liberals.


Alarming, isn't it? And doubly alarming is that I'm sure there are others out there reading this and polishing up their rifles.

The extremists on radio, teevee, and in pulpits are writing hunting licenses for nutcases with guns, and Lord knows there are a lot of them in this country.  As the economy, and the middle class, continues to contract, this will only get worse.

And so remind me again how and why this is supposed to be different from Muslim suicide bombers.

I am afraid that your words are going to be prophetic. Thanks for this article.
