He pleaded guilty and received life for the 2 killings, which he
proudly proclaimed to be a hate crime in his suicide note/manifesto.
Some particularly chilling quotes:
"Know this if nothing else: This was a hate crime. I hate the damn left-wing liberals. There is a vast left-wing conspiracy in this country & these liberals are working together to attack every decent & honorable institution in the nation, trying to turn this country into a communist state. Shame on them...."
"This was a symbolic killing. Who I wanted to kill was every Democrat in the Senate & House, the 100 people in Bernard Goldberg's book. I'd like to kill everyone in the mainstream media. But I know those people were inaccessible to me. I couldn't get to the generals & high ranking officers of the Marxist movement so I went after the foot soldiers, the chickenshit liberals that vote in these traitorous people. Someone had to get the ball rolling. I volunteered. I hope others do the same. It's the only way we can rid America of this cancerous pestilence."
I am again grateful to Sara Robinson of
Orcinus for her
powerful &
incisive coverage of this horrible attack.
I hope that Adkisson's time in prison will eventually lead him to realise & reject the hate that ruined his & others lives.
