Read the full article.For as long as he can remember, Gunner Joseph Fisher, 18, has thought about mass murder. “When I was a f**king child, before I even got into school, I saw crowds of people and (fantasized) about someone mowing them down.” Driven by a hatred of Jews, African Americans and Muslims, Fisher believed he was “bound to murder.” And like other mass shooters he admired, the young man had posed for a photo with a long gun of some sort, prepared a testimonial video and had begun work on his manifesto.
Then, he got the idea to attack a furry convention. “Now my life is going to end with me dead next to a bunch of f*gs in fur suits.” In early December, thanks to his admiration for a notorious mass murderer, Fisher came up with a new target. “I changed to a mosque like Brenton.” Just before Christmas last year, FBI agents arrested the Stewart County teen on charges of communicating a threat to commit mass violence.
He has since been indicted by a federal grand jury and is now asking to be released from custody. There was no big announcement of Fisher’s arrest, only an obscure website — Court Watch — that tracks court cases picked up the news. While few saw the story, it was noticed by Solomon Henderson, the 17-year-old Antioch High School shooter who shot two fellow students last week, killing one before turning his gun on himself. Henderson posted a link in his online diary.
