Former state GOP leader kills mother’s dog, claims he’s ‘the second coming of Christ,’

By Kristine Phillips, Washington Post

A former leader of the South Carolina Republican Party known for his incendiary tweets about Trayvon Martin, Nancy Pelosi and others is now facing charges after allegedly slaughtering a family dog.

Todd Kincannon, a former lawyer, told officers that he had to “sacrifice” his mother’s dog because he is “the second coming of Christ” and God told him to do so, going on to say that Jesus needs a sacrifice and blood must be spilled every 1,000 years, according to a police report.

Police said the incident happened at Kincannon’s parents’ home in Simpsonville, S.C., where he had been living. His father called police about 1:30 a.m. on July 26, saying that his wife had locked herself in the bathroom because she was “absolutely terrified” of their son, who had just killed their dog “with his bare hands,” the report says.

An officer found Kincannon sitting on the house’s porch steps, shirtless and covered in blood and dog hair, according to the report. As he talked to officers, Kincannon rambled about Christ and the “second coming.”

“I’m Jesus, I’m not making it up. I have a sign. I’m about to get crucified in the media,” he told officers, according to the report. “The reason I killed the dog is this, it’s real simple . . . I’m sorry, I think y’all are going to have to take me to the Psych Institution, I get that. But I’ll tell you from a legal standpoint you know, it’s in the State Constitution that God is sovereign and I honestly think he told me to do it.”

Police found Bailey, his mother’s 10-year-old beagle and cattle dog mix, lying on the kitchen floor, riddled with stab wounds and covered in blood, the report says.

Kincannon, 37, was taken to Greenville Memorial Hospital for a mental-health evaluation, police said. He has not been arrested, and it was unclear Friday whether he was still at the hospital. He has been charged with ill treatment of animals. A spokesman for the Simpsonville Police Department did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Just a normal day in the US of A.

[Svartalf]

yeah, false messiah or no, he'll likely find a bunch of cretins to shower him in $$$ and start a cult.

Looks like we found our next president.

Is insanity a prerequisite for being a leader of the Republican Party?

[Seabass]

No. It's a prerequisite for being a member of the Republican party.
