Adkisson, 58, has been charged with first-degree murder.
According to a report written by police officer Steve Still, and obtained by local media, Adkisson targeted the church ”because of its liberal teachings and his belief that all liberals should be killed because they were ruining the country, and that he felt that the Democrats had tied his country’s hands in the war on terror and they had ruined every institution in America with the aid of media outlets.”
”(Since) he could not get to the leaders of the liberal movement,” Still said, Adkisson decided to ”target those that had voted them into office.”
Inside Adkisson’s house, police found the books ”Liberalism Is a Mental Health Disorder” by talk show host Michael Savage, ”Let Freedom Ring” by talk show host Sean Hannity, and ”The O’Reilly Factor” by talk show host Bill O’Reilly.
The Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church had a sign outside welcoming gays, and ran announcements in local media advertising meetings of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.
