109. Grandmother Of Slaying Suspect Says He’s Troubled By Economy
Edited on Mon Apr-06-09 06:22 PM by RamboLiberal
Poplawski’s grandmother, Katherine Scott, told Channel 11 that her grandson felt the United States was on its way to civil unrest.

“He believes civil unrest is coming with the high inflation that’s coming,” Scott said.

She said Poplawski had strong political and social views and often spoke of being prepared for a repeat of the Great Depression.

“He stockpiled food can goods, like spam, tuna, green beans, carrots,” said Scott.

"What set him off I don't know. The only thing I can think of is his mother called the police to have him removed for four or five days till she got through her hardships," Scott said.

"If people are going to bombard your house, how else are you going to protect yourself?" she said. "The reason he went out and bought that AK-47 is because he knew (President Barack) Obama was going to ban those."

Poplawski bought the gun with a credit card, according to Scott, who said he was upset by a letter last week telling him that the interest rate on the card was going up from 9 percent to 30 percent.

Last month, he wrote that the country's economic collapse "is likely engineered by the elite Jewish powers that be in order to make for a power and asset grab." He also expressed "little doubt there is Zionist occupation."

"He believed government is government, but there's somebody up there higher for the government, which are a lot of Jewish people that have money, which want to strip people of everything they had in the good old American life," Scott said.
