HOUSTON (CN) - Misinterpreting "Glenn Beck's opinion that the American people must defend themselves against government tyranny," a conspiracy theorist stabbed a man repeatedly, just for saying he was going to deposit money in a bank, the victim claims in court.
"Moments prior to the assault, plaintiff had informed defendant that plaintiff was going to the bank to make a deposit," the complaint states. "Defendant claimed that banks are evil and part of a conspiracy. Thereafter, defendant stabbed plaintiff with a knife three times in the chest area, and as plaintiff was trying to escape the attack by running away from defendant, defendant, while wielding the knife, chased after plaintiff and tackled him to the ground.

Bennett was charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He is free on $30,000 bond , and was ordered not to contact Derr or possess any deadly weapon.
Derr says he is seeking psychological treatment for nightmares he's had since the attack and has "hired a security company for protection."

Some people eventually believe that everything is a conspiracy, and everyone is evil. I think mental illness played a role here. In which case he fed off of it all and went postal.

It seems dangerous to let a mad man like this back on the streets where there is a bank on almost every corner.
What if he strangles someone?.
good. let all the idiot conspiracy theorist be branded as lunatics. About 90% of the people on here don't even know jack # about the secret mysteries. Everyone here is completely off course and don't know their ass from their head.
Is someone going to go to his house and remove every knife in the kitchen?
McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for evidence. It also means "the practice of making unfair allegations or using unfair investigative techniques, especially in order to restrict dissent or political criticism."[1] The term has its origins in the period in the United States known as the Second Red Scare, lasting roughly from 1950 to 1956 and characterized by heightened fears of communist influence on American institutions and espionage by Soviet agents. Originally coined to criticize the anti-communist pursuits of Republican U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, "McCarthyism" soon took on a broader meaning, describing the excesses of similar efforts. The term is also now used more generally to describe reckless, unsubstantiated accusations, as well as demagogic attacks on the character or patriotism of political adversaries. During the McCarthy era, thousands of Americans were accused of being Communists or communist sympathizers and became the subject of aggressive investigations and questioning before government or private-industry panels, committees and agencies. The primary targets of such suspicions were government employees, those in the entertainment industry, educators and union activists. Suspicions were often given credence despite inconclusive or questionable evidence, and the level of threat posed by a person's real or supposed leftist associations or beliefs was often greatly exaggerated. Many people suffered loss of employment and/or destruction of their careers; some even suffered imprisonment. Most of these punishments came about through trial verdicts later overturned,[2] laws that would be declared unconstitutional,[3] dismissals for reasons later declared illegal[4] or actionable,[5] or extra-legal procedures that would come into general disrepute. The most famous examples of McCarthyism include the speeches, investigations, and hearings of Senator McCarthy himself; the Hollywood blacklist, associated with hearings conducted by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC); and the various anti-communist activities of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under Director J. Edgar Hoover. McCarthyism was a widespread social and cultural phenomenon that affected all levels of society and was the source of a great deal of debate and conflict in the United States.
