Lafayette Shooter Was A White Supremacist Tea Party Type



Every time the right wing rhetoric ratchets up to a high point, more rational people are concerned that it will prompt some person with mental health issues to act on the ideas being spewed by right wing haters.

In Charleston, that day came.

In Louisiana, that day came yesterday.

John Russel Houser, the man responsible for the shootings last night in Lafayette, Louisiana, was a racist conspiracy theorist who was turned down for a gun permit due to mental health issues. His comments on white supremacist and right wing sites could just as easily have come out of the mouth of Alex Jones.

Joe Knapp points out that he had a page on Tea Party Nation, created in June, 2013, which was the same month the Supreme Court struck down DOMA. Houser really hated gays, but admired Westboro Baptist Church, who he said was "the last real church in America."

~Snip~

Houser went on to list the characteristics of those he considered "low lifes:"

-those who do not place ultimate importance on society honoring the family unit [as defined in it’s most traditional sense]
-those that will sell anything for enough money
-those that will not work to support a just government
-those that believe all types of people should live in every nation, with equal protection
-those that oppose the death penalty in a just society, liberally applied
-those that think a just society cannot define sexual deviancy
-those who do not recognize that the role of women is in no way similar to that of men
-etc,etc…..
-those that do not recognize that there are exceptions to every rule
-those that do not recognize that the exceptions are very few
