"Christian" author robbed movie theater cause Freemasons

A "Christian" author stuck up a movie theater and claimed the Freemasons made him do it;

A Christian author who writes about New World Order and spiritual enlightenment seemingly took a dark turn when he donned a mask and robbed a Hoover movie theater at gunpoint in broad daylight, police said today.

The robber was captured when a theater manager tackled him, and he was detained by the manager and a nearby Good Samaritan until lawmen arrived. Hoover police today announced a first-degree robbery charge against 33-year-old Britton Clayton Traylor, who drove to the theater in his Porsche 911 Carerra and claimed he committed the brazen crime as part of his initiation to earn a higher degree as a Freemason.

"We're not really buying that as we've never heard of Masons instructing members to commit criminal acts,'' said Hoover police spokesman Capt. Gregg Rector. "It's really one of the most ridiculous excuses that we've heard lately. He may have achieved a higher level of stupidity, but that's about it."

On Monday, lawmen responded to an armed robbery at the Carmike Lee Branch Theaters on Doug Baker Boulevard. Rector said Hoover officers and Shelby County sheriff's deputies arrived at the theater to find the manager and another man on top of Traylor, holding him on the ground in front of the theater.


I think the Florida is creeping north in Alabama...

These righties love to run around on their high horses about personal responsibility. But that only applies to other people, especially if said people are poorer, have different or no religious beliefs, are not white, or some combination thereof.

On his pinterest page (where he claims the book is sold by a 'non-profit' group):

"Michelle Obama Making Illuminati Symbol on "Moral and Family Values" Funny! Support a Muderous Organization and Your also Support Family Values"

His kind of crap encourages racism, probably anti-semitism (because they always devolve into "international bankers - you know who we mean" BS), and general hatred. Robbery is a more honest way to make a living.
