Texas shooter's ex-wife: 'Demons ... hatred' consumed him

[n2doc]

(CNN)The first wife of the Texas church shooter described him as a menacing and abusive man who constantly threatened her and her family with death.

Devin Patrick Kelley carried out the deadliest mass shooting in Texas history on Sunday, killing 25 people and an unborn child at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, near San Antonio.

In an interview Friday with the TV show "Inside Edition," Kelley's ex-wife, Tessa Brennaman, 25, said her life was filled with abuse when she was married to him.

Brennaman recounted one instance when she got a speeding ticket and Kelley pulled a gun out of his holster, pointed it at her and asked, "Do you want to die? Do you want to die?' "

1. There are lots of armed people in this country consumed by demons/hatred. Yet, gun manufacturers,

stores, gun shows, and private gun profiteers make a lot of money off them.

2. And Devin is the exact kind of mind that the NRA attracts.

Paranoid, delusional, consumed with hatred. The NRA, gun nuts, and their enablers like Alex Jones cater to this type of individual.

3. Exactly. As one of the lower-kill-rate mass shooters put it -- "Guns make me feel powerful."

5. In America, it's easier to get a gun than get help

These events will continue to occur with great regularity. The Columbine shootings, which so transfixed the nation, don't even make the top 10 deadliest events anymore.

6. I heard she went back and forth with him

Inevitably, they would start fighting again.

Then, she started telling him that everyone in the church wanted them to break up. The church was used as a wedge.

He took it seriously.

(I heard this from people who knew them)

7. You must be talking about the second wife, the OP refers to the first wife.

The second wife is the one with the church connection.
