White, Right-Wing, Tea Party Extremist Shoots Up Movie Theater, Killing Two And ‘Terrorist’ Isn’t Uttered Once (VIDEO)
AUTHOR: SHANNON ARGUETA JULY 24, 2015 12:29 PM
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/07/24/white-right-wing-tea-party-extremist-shoots-up-movie-theater-killing-two-and-terrorist-isnt-uttered-once-video/
A showing of Amy Schumer’s new comedy “Trainwreck” turned into a bloodbath in a Lafayette, Louisiana movie theater. John Russel Houser, 59, a confirmed rabid right-winger, entered the 7 p.m. showing of the movie and opened fire on moviegoers, killing two and injuring nine. Unsurprisingly, the word “terrorist” has not been uttered once in reference to the shooter.
Police say Houser entered the Grand Theater 16 shortly after the showing began and started shooting. The two fatalities were both young women; Mayci Breaux, 21, died at the scene and 33-year-old Jillian Johnson died at the hospital later. Houser also injured nine other moviegoers, two of them teachers, before he killed himself.
Police say the shooter was a “drifter” who moved to Lafayette recently from Alabama. They said they have no idea what made him enter the mover theater and start shooting, but police think that he had hoped to get away.
“It appears he was intent on shooting and escaping,” Lafayette Police Chief Jim Craft said of the shooter. “The quick law enforcement response pushed him back into the theater.”
Here we have another angry, white mass shooter, who apparently has ties to white supremacist groups, as well as the Tea Party and nobody is calling him a terrorist, interesting isn’t it?
Just last month another right-wing terrorist, Dylann Roof, entered a historic church in South Carolina and gunned down nine African-American churchgoers and the media, police and politicians refused to call him a terrorist too.
Last week, a brown guy named Muhammad Abdulazeez, attacked to military installations, killing five and he was labeled a “terrorist” as soon as his identity was revealed. All the same people, who refused to call Roof a terrorist, were suddenly freely throwing the word around.
Now we have this new shooting and nobody is calling him anything other than a “59-year-old white shooter.” Why is that?
This guy was obviously a terrorist. He is a terrorist with right-wing ties and his very own Tea Party page. According to The Daily Beast:
A Google search for the name reveals a Tea Party Nation page registered to a person with that name. Authorities have not confirmed whether the page, registered in June 2013, belonged to the shooter. The owner of the Tea Party Nation page identifies his hometown as Phenix, Alabama. He appears to have called himself Rusty Houser on another forum in which he describes himself as “very conservative” and asks how to find white-power groups.
Raw Story reports that, in addition to his right-wing ties, Houser has a history of violence and mental health problems:
He was treated in 2008 and 2009 for mental health problems after his wife and other family members took out a temporary protective order against him for extreme erratic behavior and has made ominous as well as disturbing statements.”
His ex-wife, Kellie Houser, said he was so mentally unstable that she removed all of the guns from her home. In 2006 he was turned down for concealed carry permit because of a conviction for arson in Georgia.
In a 2013 post he expressed that he loathed President Obama (not surprising for a white supremacist):
Here is something that is truly funny: since I accepted this it came to me that the president is doing exactly what Tim McVeigh did, only the president is much more effective. The way I see it,the faster he wrecks this nation, which in no way resembles what it’s founders envisioned, the faster working people with morals may re-assume command.ie
Ironic that a guy who would go on to commit an act of domestic terrorism, would compare Obama to the Oklahoma City Bomber.
The vapid right-wing will use this as an opportunity to scream “MOAR GUNZ!” and they will completely ignore that this guy was one of them. He wasn’t brown. He wasn’t Muslim. He wasn’t a foreigner. He wasn’t a liberal. He was a domestic terrorist created by the angry right, who will deny it; they will never admit that he is a product of their hate, because they are incapable of taking responsibility for anything.

well of course!
the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to have your own good guy with gun.....
if everyone in that movie theatre had a gun that shooting would never have happened
but to my question: what is it about American life that makes some white men so angry?

In fact the liberal mind set has brought us things like teenage girls getting morning after pills without the knowledge of their parents
That doesn't quite square with this.
Im all for Womens rights - it is their body to deal with. I would rather see an abortion than a child brought into the world only to be left at his or her faculty and eventual demise
You might be able to twist the two statements a little to fit in your ear, but all and all the two statements stand opposite of each other..
You gave some instances for some things your in agreement with Dems on, now show where you've ever railed against the Republicans on any one those.

Maybe some of our angry posters can shed some light on the subject.
Where's Craig Fry these days?
Wrong, Edward. You calling the President out for taking 5 days to lower the flag to half staff was a vehicle for creating conflict.
What am I wrong about?

Im all for a SENSIBLE health care system that doenst penalize one group to support another. We don't have that yet.
I think pot should be treated just like alcohol, even though both are damaging and many folks cant handle either one. Prohibition was a failure as is the fight against pot. But other drugs such as METH and others should be eradiated from the planet.
There is three for you. Gave you a bonus one.
Here's one more Dingus. He approves of the murder of women and children. Thinks it's OK.

Phuckin' guys, still the same old shyte, isn't it?
Sometimes I hate livin' in the Good Old Boys States of America.
President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered a national day of mourning three days after King’s assassination. The 40th Academy Awards ceremony was rescheduled to April 10.
How decent of everyone.

I'm not sure, but I think that's been shown to be wrong.
But I am pretty sure that Werner has a man crush on crankster. He hides it behind a lot of jokey name-calling, but seriously, nobody follows anyone else around like that unless...
Well, you know.

Hey Norton,
Not sure if you clicked what I linked, but the author is a woman and her Facebook page is called: "Angry Liberal Bitch".
I wasn't tryin to make any other points, just riffing on the anger theme. Seems to be in abundance on both sides.

Rusty was a normal kid growing up, very bright. He had a very successful bar and grill operation in the 80's that was frequented by all of my pals and many others. He was heavy into the cosmic dust and was very friendly with it's dispersal, whether in the back room of his bar or at parties.
He sold the bar, moved to Atlanta, opened another and it failed. I think that is about the time he started his endless dribble about racism, and entered the political scene.
To me he was an ominous worm; but seemed more full of verbal bravado and hate talk than anything. I never new of his mental issues, the last time I saw him he was painting his house, his new wife and her young children in the yard playing. My thoughts then were actually admirable, in reference to his work ethic. He had gone from a pretty successful entrepreneur to a painter to support his family.
The monster that the media is portraying is a guy I never knew, except his racist attitude. He was very outspoken about that; which made me avoid him.
That was a long time ago. If you told me then, he was capable of mass murder and the other things reported in the news I would have never believed it. I know he did not appreciate his mother or older brother who is an "average joe" that makes his living as a stock broker. Those two guys were so different, it is hard to think of them as brothers.
I pray for the victims, Rusty's family and Rusty himself.
