The perpetrator of this crime is so full of hatred, that he went to a Church and killed people because they are from multi-racial marriages or they are gay. He talks about how churches glorify gays and lesbians, as if they are not people too. How many more attacks on gays and lesbians in the name of religion must one suffer before realizing that gays and lesbians are indeed human?

You know sometimes you think that type of person is just related or a part of the Rev. Phelps clan spewing their hate, instigating violence amongst our citizens. Sad to know there are others slithering around. When are these types going to become real Americans? hopefully before they cause more destruction.

"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,” “a political protest” and “a symbolic killing.”
He railed against extending constitutional rights to terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, about the news media being “the propaganda wing of the Democrat Party,” and how he would like to kill every major Democrat in Congress. But he said they were inaccessible and decided to go after “the foot soldiers, the (expletive) liberals that vote in these traitorous people.”
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.”
Adkisson told police he had never attended the church. But his fifth wife, Liza Alexander, who divorced him in 2000, had attended the church and convinced him to work as a counselor at Unitarian youth camps.
“I was in a marriage and I loved this woman, but she was just … I’d never been around somebody that liberal in my life,” he said.
Before she divorced him, Alexander got a protection order, claiming Adkisson threatened “to blow my brains out and then blow his own brains out,” according to file documents.
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.”
Adkisson had worked a series of industrial jobs, including as a pipe worker at a Tennessee Valley Authority nuclear plant and on the Saturn Corp. auto assembly line, until 2006.
He complained in his suicide note and later in his interview with police that he was always being laid off and his prospects were growing slim as he got older. Again, he blamed liberals and Democrats."
I don't understand people like that. Although I may not agree with homosexuality. I certainly do not want to see them murdered,beaten,denied propper protection under the law.
I do think that doing these types of things alter behaviors of all parties involved and not for the better.
This insane man is a poster child of lunacy. Doesn't he know that violence against someone always comes back to hurt the person who did the violence more. -

COVENTRY ACT, criminal law. The common name for the statute 22 and 23 Car. II. c. 1; it having been enacted in consequence of an assault on Sir John Coventry in the street, and slitting his nose, in revenge, as was supposed, for some obnoxious words uttered by him in parliament.

2. By this statute it is enacted, that if any person shall, of malice aforethought, and by laying in wait, unlawfully cut or disable the tongue, put out an eye, slit the nose, cut off the nose or lip, or cut off or disable any limb, or member of any other person, with intent to maim or disfigure him, such person, his counsellors, aiders and abettors, shall be guilty of felony, without benefit of clergy. 4 Bl. Com. 207. This statute is copied by the act of the legislature of Pennsylvania, of April 22, 1794, s. 6, 3 Smith's Laws of Pa. 188; and the offence is punished by fine and imprisonment. For the act of Connecticut, see 2 Swift's Dig. 293.
This is common Law folks...where is the argument?
