Democracy Now Police: Austin, Texas Shooter Linked to Christian Hate Group

[UglyGreed]

In Austin, Texas, police say a man who opened fire on government buildings and tried to burn the Mexican consulate was a "American terrorist" with ties to a Christian hate group. Police say Larry McQuilliams had expressed frustration over immigrants receiving aid while he could not find a job. He had multiple weapons and a map of 34 potential targets when he was shot dead by police.

1. At last, recognition

of RW Christian hate and terrorism.

Time for Homeland Security to actually do their job and interdict these hateful traitors.

2. Shouldn't "Christian" and "hate" be incompatible in the same sentence?

The one should never be connected to the other, if they really are followers of Christ. Maybe they should think about that.

[font size=5]Police: Austin shooter was a ‘homegrown American extremist’[/font]

Evidence obtained by @Austin_Police determined Suspect McQuliams was a self-titled "High Priest" of the "Phineaus Priesthood." ....

Police believe McQuilliams associated himself with the Phineas Priesthood, an anti-Semitic, anti-multiculturalism affiliation that opposes biracial relationships, same-sex marriage, taxation and abortion. Authorities found a copy of “Vigilantes of Christendom,” a book linked to the Priesthood, in the rental van McQuilliams used during the attacks. Inside of the book was a handwritten note that “discusses his rank as a priest in his fight against anti-God people,” Acevedo said.
