Louisiana Shooter Had History of Mental Illness, Affection for Hitler

A gunman who killed two schoolteachers and wounded nine others last night at a Louisiana movie theater reportedly had a history of mental illness and aggression.

John Russell Houser, who also shot and killed himself at the screening of the film Trainwreck, had a certain fondness for Adolf Hitler, as well.

“Hitler is loved for the results of his pragmatism,” the 58-year-old wrote last year on a stateofmind13.com message board. “There is no question of his being the most successful that ever lived. At this time the US is no more than a financially failing filth farm. Soon the phrase ‘ruling with an iron hand’ will be palatable anew.”

He likewise once wrote about the “power of the lone wolf” on a site for Golden Dawn, Greece’s neo-Nazi party.

“Do not mistake yourselves for one minute, the enemy sees all posted on this website. I do not want to discourage the last hope for the best, but you must realize the power of the lone wolf, is the power that come forth in ALL situations,” he wrote.

Trying to make sense of what a man like this does, is evidence of a troubled mind.

(this in no way is directed at you)

A neighbor of his was on CNN. He said the man had been a candidate in several LIBERAL political races and has had yard signs for LIBERAL candidates in his yard.

Wolfie quickly steered the discussion to this kook once having flown a confederate flag. lol!

There are two posters on Craigslist WoPo that fit this personality. One is beachbum90045 and the other is bornagaingumby. Both have this love for Hitler, hatred of Jews, Christians and minorities and both present themselves as far left progressive liberals. I wonder which one is missing from WoPo today........

They also seem to be merging multiple people with spelling variations into a composite.

I was born in Lafayette. If not for a drifter coming thru and murdering innocent people, all you would know about it is the food, music and cajun culture.

an event almost simultaneous to Obies stated desire to further control “GUNS”

mere coincidence? NOT

Are these shooters financial transactions ever investigated after the fact?

Hitler?

Not a surprise.

Nearly every shooter like him is a Leftist. It's not a surprise that he would follow the demented ideas of a Big Government Socialist like Hitler.

after the Charleston shooting there were several articles about studies setting out that all, or almost all, of these mass murderers, or wannabees, were on some pretty serious psychiatric drugs - prescription type drugs, I believe.

The solution is not gun control but psycho control.

Car accident? Driver

Plane accident? Pilot

Boating accident? Driver

Gun shooting? Gun

“Loved Hitler, eh? So he was a RADICAL LEFTIST!”

No, no, no.

The libtards will claim that Hitler was right wing....despite the name of his party.

Ya gotta remember that libs are not exactly at the top of the brain chain.

Math is their enemy, logic disposes them, and they are bottom dwelling slime to boot.

He must have been a democrat. If he had been a republican they would have had that in large type and in the headline.

This just keeps getting better and better!

It’s as if everyone on Kos and DU wrote the script, and texted in their suggestions on “How To Build A Rightwingnut”!

They are hitting EVERY narrative marker - next they’ll say he’s a (gasp) COMBAT VETERAN!
