Greg McKendry died defending others.

A man accused of shooting dead two people in a Tennessee church was motivated by hatred of liberals and anger at being jobless. Knoxville Police Chief Sterling Owen said they had found a letter in Jim Adkisson’s car in which he described his feelings.

There were about 200 people in the church, which is known for its liberal stance, at the time of Sunday’s attack. Mr Adkisson, 58, has been charged with first-degree murder.

Children were putting on a play at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church when a gunman entered with a 12-gauge shotgun and opened fire on the congregation.

The Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church describes itself on its website as working for social change since the 1950s, including desegregation, racial harmony, fair wages, women’s rights and gay rights.

A criminal act – by an illogical demented fool. One of the species of “hero” who sets out to kill those who disagree with his pitiful beliefs.

The only hero on the day was Greg McKendry who deliberately stepped in front of Adkisson’s shotgun to protect his friends – and died.

    #62–Mustard, qui sait vreiment. I think it shows reduced regard for the authority of past practice, a liberated imagination, a love of ee cummings, and a quiet satisfaction of seeing idiots emphasize the irrelevant while the obvious main issues go unaddressed.

    Course the other way to avoid an issue is to ask a separate question of your own?

    Bobbo, once again, you’ve talked me to death.

    Kudos to you.

    Wow another post reading Mustard shout obscenities at every one who disagrees with him, and every one else telling him he’s wrong. Enjoyable reading…no seriously…I love the constant, your stupid…no your stupid…no your stupid. Come on people get a life.

    It was a little joke over spelling. Maybe American vs British spelling. You’ve lost your sense of humor somewhere, and that’s rather sad.

    And so, meanwhile back in Knoxville, an unbalanced gunman opened fire killing two people and wounding several more watching a children’s play.

    Tomorrow the sun is expected to rise and later this year most of us are hoping the weather will cool enough so we can have a white Christmas.

    Goodbye julieb. May the wind always be at your back and the eyes on your potatoes always be looking the other way.
