World of Hate: A New York Cop and the Tennessee Trucker

 (watch this video here. If anyone knows how to insert the video, please let me know.)

Something altogether sinister binds together the stories of Officer Patrick Pogan (video) and unemployed trucker and veteran Jim David Adkisson. It is something that lies just beneath the surface like the shark you never see in the ocean till you feel it. There was a time in this country that we could all depend on the nightly news to delve into the matter and flush it out for us all to see. But that time is gone so we must fend for ourselves. And as it turns out, the news is part of the problem.

This video is from July 25th of this year. The group of cyclists is Critical Mass. They started riding in San Fran. in order to call attention to how unfriendly cities are becoming to cyclists. The movement spread and now they are world-wide and they ride for various issues. But they are, by all standards, a peaceful organization. They will disrupt traffic at times, but they are relatively harmless, unless you just have to get home to watch American Idol.

But the police have infiltrated their groups and put their names on watch-lists all across the country. They also video tape the rides so that they can use the facial recognition software on the tapes in order to identify everyone who attends. Because the police are being taught, like Hannity and Limbaugh teach their viewers, that the growing peace movements and groups like 9/11 Truth and Critical Mass are all anarchists and evil leftist insurgents, trying to undermine our American way of life.

Now this rookie cop has lost his badge and his gun, and so for the NYPD, they will continue to pretend that the problem is solved.

But the question remains, just how did this officer come to hate these people so much, and how did he ever feel that this action would be considered acceptable on any level.

Had the camera not been there, this young man would have been assaulted, injured, and then convicted of the unjust crime the cop accused him with to cover his own ass. And the only person who could have stopped this travesty of justice, would have been the other cop who saw the whole thing. But he wouldn’t say a thing, because again, it is the system that is creating this environment. And therefore the system itself which is corrupt.

The other day, Jim David Adkisson walked into the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, removed his shotgun from his gym bag, and opened fire during a children’s pageant. According to his statement, he wanted to kill the leaders of the liberal party, but couldn’t get to them, so he went there instead. When asked why, he replied “they are ruining the country”. 

Knoxville police Sunday evening searched the Levy Drive home of Jim David Adkisson after he allegedly entered the Tennessee Valley Unitarian UniversalistChurch and killed two people and wounded six others during the presentation of a children’s musical.

Knoxville Police Department Officer Steve Still requested the search warrant after interviewing Adkisson. who was subdued by several church members after firing three rounds from a 12-gauge shotgun into the congregation.

Adkisson targeted the church, Still wrote in the document obtained by WBIR-TV, Channel 10, “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.” 

Inside the house, officers found “Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder” by radio talk show host Michael Savage, “Let Freedom Ring” by talk show host Sean Hannity, and “The O’Reilly Factor,” by television talk show host Bill O’Reilly.” Knox News.

‘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,’ Police Chief Sterling Owen said.

Adkisson, a 58-year-old truck driver on the verge of losing his food stamps, had 76 rounds with him when he entered the church and pulled a shotgun from a guitar case during a children’s performance of the musical ‘Annie.’”  Raw Story.
