A man responsible for a shooting that killed two people and injured seven at a church in Knoxville, Tennessee reputedly targeted the congregation because of its liberal social stance. A letter found in Jim Adkisson’s car spoke of his frustration over being out of work and had a stated hatred of the liberal movement. Adkisson is charged with murder in the first degree after entering the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church during a children’s performance on Sunday and opening fire. No children were hurt. The church is known for its espousal of women’s and gay rights and the founding of an ACLU chapter.
This is a completely senseless act. How close-minded do you have to be to realistically believe that going on a shooting spree will solve or suppress anything, let alone your problems and/or the liberal movement? Even though this reinforces what I perceive as the short-sightedness of right-wing America, I recognize that lumping in all conservatives with this guy is unfair. Still, I guess this is part of the reason why they like gun rights, so they can have the freedom to shoot people with whom they don’t agree.
