Tragedy in Knoxville
July 29th, 2008 at 10:35Yesterday morning I turned on CNN International (the only station I get that broadcasts exclusively in English) to learn of a horrendous church shooting in Tennessee. Naturally I was shocked, so I immediately went online to find more details. The details I found were quite disturbing..
On Sunday a gunman entered Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church and opened fire, wounding nine people, of which two have died. While a student at UT I drove by this church almost everyday.. I never imagined something like this could happen.
The slime responsible is a “man” named Jim Adkisson, a local nutcase who apparently disagreed the liberal stances taken by the TVUUC, was frustrated about his lack of employment, and who dislikes Christians in general.
I’ve also learned that this lunatic grew up in my hometown of Harriman. As if Roane County needed in any further negative publicity.
We should all keep the TVUUC and the victims of this shooting in our thoughts and prayers.
