Tye "Glenn" Champ proud supporter of the 2nd Amendment and horse murderer. |
A California man who campaigned for governor this year has been arrested in connection with the shooting of his neighbor and the shooting death of a horse Thursday afternoon, according to The Fresno Bee.
48-year-old Tye “Glenn” Champ was taken into custody around noon on Friday without incident, after a Tulare County sheriff’s deputy caught up to him on a traffic stop.
According to the Bee, Champ previously served a prison term for manslaughter, has several convictions for weapons offenses and is also a registered sex offender. But since then, Champ claimed to have “found the Lord.”
A “neighbor dispute” over work being done on a road led to the shooting, according to witnesses. On Thursday afternoon, Champ first approached a 13-year-old boy.
“Champ was angry at the 13-year-old and slashed the tires on the ATV that the child was riding,” Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said. “The parents came to the scene and confronted Champ and that’s when the father was shot, then other witnesses — including the victim and the 13-year-old — ran away as more shots were being fired at them from Champ.”
A horse in a pasture was hit and killed. Mims said Champ was “shooting pretty indiscriminately … it’s fortunate no one else was hit.”
As reported Champ was one of four candidates running to unseat California Governor Jerry Brown.
However he was the only one of the four with the distinction of being both an ex-con AND a registered sex offender. And not only that but he is clearly a big supporter of the right to bear arms.
A right by the way that he is clearly not opposed to exercising any damn time he sees fit.
In other words the perfect GOP candidate.
Why is this man NOT behind bars - or in a straight jacket.....
ReplyDeleteAnd why does a registered sex offender have weapons? I suppose he got them illegally. But if he bought them legally, then I say again, why does a registered sex offender have weapons?
Deletewhy does an ex-con that did prison time for manslaughter able to buy a gun?
DeleteYeah, this little league fool needs some major jail time. But better to serve as an example to the weapons nuts is that Bush2 and Cheney serve the time for their war crimes. Police serve time for killing those they are sworn to preserve and protect. Until we stop the killing by those licensed to kill indiscriminately, these jack wagons will continue to think killing is ok. God fearing "Christians" that they claim to be, they can recite Leviticus faster than "Thou shall not kill."

ReplyDeleteJessie, please take [Conservative] Syrin's blog link off of your list at left. Please??
She's just a local TeaPublican fundy christian with a big mouth, but no one listens to her. I find her amusing, keep her on!
DeleteI agree, and she is not a smart person. I have no idea what she has to add-anywhere.
DeleteHow did this man even qualify to own a weapon with all of his priors? Just another black mark on the pro gun folks, way to go douchebag, you people are always acting against your own best interests. We liberals don't have to do a thing, just sit back and watch you all be stupid.

Enjoy life in prison
Hopefully, since this isn't a molestation case that they keep him in the general population so he can enjoy being someone's bitch.
This is the part that I just ADORE!

Uhhh, found the "lord"? Killing a horse, slashing a 13 year old's tire, shooting his father while indiscriminately firing a weapon is NOT FINDING THE LORD. But don't fret, there are prisoners, many of whom will help you find the lord.
Anger Issues? OR just dumb?
We've found our poster boy, sure:
ReplyDelete“What a Champ!"
Typical GOP candidate.
ReplyDeleteTypical in more ways than one. Does anyone else think he looks like Joe Miller?

You can't make this stuff up!
ReplyDeleteConvicted of manslaughter and a registered sex offender, yet he believes he can run, and win, a gubernatorial contest, carry guns and kill a horse. Oh, wait ... he found Jesus. It's all OK, then.
