| 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.
