John Russel "Rusty" Houser
was a man so mentally ill and violent that years ago his wife hid his guns and his family had him hospitalized against his will before obtaining a court order to keep him away, according to court documents, which also show his wife filed for divorce this year.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups, said it has had Houser's name in its files since 2005, when he registered at former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke's European-American Unity and Rights Organization conference.
[Calvin Floyd, who hosted the morning show on WLTZ-TV in Columbus, Georgia] described Houser as an "angry man" who made "wild accusations" about all sorts of topics, and said he put him on to counter a Democratic voice because "he could make the phones ring."
The two may be tied together, but this guy was an older (59), angry guy who was unstable and his personal life was falling apart. It just a shame that two innocent people had to die, and others were injured. He wasn't so crazy that he didn't know right from wrong, though:
Police say Houser had one additional magazine of bullets for his handgun as he tried to escape. Then, when he spotted police officers outside, he turned around and pushed back through the fleeing crowd. The officers tailed him into the theater and heard a single shot before finding him dead inside, police said.
