    If you mean the psychopath just randomly shooting into a crowd of people for fun is a gang member then you might be correct.

    "“He was a guest because he was good TV entertainment, not because it was a respected opinion that he had to say. But he was very entertaining all the time,” Floyd said in a phone interview with Yahoo news. “He had Tea Party-radical Republican views on everything. I’d have a democratic spokesperson on [for the opposing perspective]. He generated a lot of phone calls.”

    Houser was a member of Tea Party Nation, according to the group’s website."

    You don't know or are just posing a rhetorical question?

    You > Oh, and why did he have to wait to kill himself?

    He was trying to escape and had parked his car right outside the exit, however the police were already nearby and as he tried to exit, by hiding in the crowd running out, he saw them and went back in and shot himself.

    Evidently.. Houser had a law degree... a history of mental illness and a small criminal record.

    http://heavy.com/news/2015/07/john-...d-children-criminal-white-job-facebook-video/

    He previously owned Rusty’s Buckhead Pub in Lagrange, Georgia, and Peachtree Pub in Columbus, Georgia.

    Houser said of his Buckhead Pub, “In a small town one in the entertainment business had better be in with all crowds.We successfully provided entertainment for all while maintaining an atmosphere worth a regular visit. Well rounded bands,food, and genuine communication coupled with a “don’t hold back” approach was a winning combination.”

    Why a history of mental illness, restraining orders, his wife removing all the guns from the house because he was unstable.

    Once again the failure of our mental heath system.

    Wow, that's pretty insane. Yeah, the guy was crazy... I guess you have to be to shot up a movie theater. Since this was in the south, I was hoping someone took him out with their conceal carry gun. However, I noticed the theater was a "gun free zone". Too bad. Crazy people and "gun free zones" do not make a good mix.

    Man, there are multiple movie theaters where I live. I usually go to the one's that are not "gun free zones". This incident is hardening my resolve.. No more "gun free zone" movie theaters for me. I don't want to get shot. The "gun free zone" ones seem to attract the crazies

    Showing the conflicts that existed with him. The Tea Party nor it's supporters support the WBC and in fact would protest against them and their actions.

    BTW registering for that Tea Party website is as easy as registering here it seems. If I commit a mass murder should it reflect on this forum and it's owners and other members? OH he was a member here.

    He was also a member of this forum and dedicated many of his posts toward arguing that illegal aliens from Mexico should not be deported.

    Would be nice if the entire country had strong gun control. Then we wouldn't have to worry so much. Countries like the UK, Japan and Australia have had phenomenal success reducing gun violence by increasing gun control. It doesn't work well in America though because only a few states have done it and it's too easy to go over state lines to pick up a gun.

    it's not an intentional killing is what I meant.... they intended to kill someone else and accidentally killed a child as an example

    happens to cops too, think the cop meant to throw a flash grenade in a babies crib... it happens

    but were getting way off topic....

    you could sense the crazy and the hate from his posts, but I would never of though he was a mass shooter from reading his posts.... just some crazy guy so far right that even 99% of republicans were too far left for him
