KNOXVILLE, Tennessee (CNN) -- The suspect in a fatal shooting at a
Knoxville church Sunday was motivated by frustration over being unable
to obtain a job and hatred for the liberal movement, police said Monday.
Jim Adkisson, 58, was charged with first-degree murder after Sunday's
shooting at the Knoxville church.

Jim Adkisson, 58, was charged with first-degree murder after Sunday's
shooting at the Knoxville church.

Authorities recovered a four-page letter in which the suspect, Jim
Adkisson, described his feelings and motives, police said.

Adkisson, 58, of Powell, Tennessee, has been charged with one count of
first-degree murder in the shootings at Tennessee Valley Unitarian
Universalist Church.

The gunman killed two adults and wounded seven others before being
overpowered by congregants, authorities said.

The case is being investigated as a hate crime, police said.

"It appears that what brought him to this horrible event was his lack of
being able to obtain a job, his frustration over that, and his stated
hatred for the liberal movement," Knoxville Police Chief Sterling Owen
IV told reporters on Monday.

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," Owen said. "And he felt like he was being kept out of the
loop because of his age."

I dunno, Larry. I'm sure some are, since "gayness" is not connected to
any particular religion. Hell, there probably are some white southern
baptists who actually follow the teachings of jesus. They're out there
somewhere.

I dont' know about that Harry. The mayor of knoxville TN is (R) , 16
of the Senators of TN are (R) and 16 are (D) but 1 is (I), and the
governor is (D) 53 reps are (D) while 44 are (R)

I didn't count judges

So what's going to happen in TN after the election? looks like the
majority of the legislation is (D) as it is.
