Poster child for the death penalty
Do all crazed shooters look alike, or is it just bad photography? Jim Adkisson went into a church in Tennessee and blazed away with a shotgun until he was taken down by church-goers and held for police. His motive, as expressed in a four-page letter? Frustration over being unable to obtain a job and hatred for the liberal movement. Authorities also discovered a letter from the state government telling Adkisson he was having his food stamps reduced or eliminated, police said. "He did express that frustration, that the liberal movement was getting more jobs. And he felt like he was being kept out of the loop because of his age." Adkisson apparently acted alone and chose the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church because of recent publicity about activities there that Adkisson considered liberal.
Neighbors said Adkisson was quiet and kept to himself.
Rico says he hopes no one ever says that about him...
