He has a profile created by the website Tea Party Nation. And on PoliticalForum.com, he left hundreds of messages espousing anti-government, anti-media views.

Houser was denied a concealed carry permit in 2006 after an arrest involving arson, and he was treated for mental health issues in 2008 and 2009, Russell County, Alabama, Sheriff Heath Taylor told CNN. And Taylor said his office served him an eviction notice in March 2014.

"He damaged some of the property there, and I know he had done something to the gas line and the fireplace," the sheriff said.

I thought they said on air on CNN that he also had a law degree.

I know a person who attended that school when I lived in Central Alabama, and he best described the place as Alabama's version of Liberty University, i.e. Fundie U. If that is the case, it wouldn't surprise me as a graduate of Faulkner Law School. I am actually surprised that institution had a law school. In that community, Auburn University Montgomery and Alabama State University are more prominent higher education campuses.

It's unfortunate that familiar communities during my Auburn U. period, Carroll County GA, LaGrange GA, and Columbus GA/Phenix City AL are places where this mentally challenged individual lived.
