Summary: Friday June 21, 2013  Lakim Anthony Faust Terrorist Shoots 4 Over Religion, Race and Nationality Hate With Shotgun By Walmart In GREENVILLE, N.C. Lakim Anthony Faust used a pistol-gripped shotgun to shoot and wound four people. He shot a man in a car outside a law firm, then crossed five lanes of traffic and shot three more people outside a Wal-Mart He was found with 100 rounds of ammunition. Faust had a short criminal record that included" property crimes but no signs of violence," Police say Lakim Anthony Faust, a 23 yr old African American man with a troubled history, appears to have planned the shooting that wounded 4, but picked out his victims at random. He had been expelled for disrupting classes at a community college, and had been charged with first-degree murder as a teen. He did not get his GED, but was later was later employed successfully at a youth work program. He was unemployed living in an apartment on social security at the time of the shooting.  Later documents show Faust shot and injured the four victims because of their "race, [white] color, religion [Christian], nationality[American], or country of origin." Victims were 64-year-old Timothy Edwards, a Geico insurance adjustor, 70-year-old Carroll Oakes, of Grifton; 69-year-old Vernon Leggett, of Greenville; and 50-year-old Haywood Whichard, Jr., of Greenville. When cornered by Faust, he fired at officers. He was found with a pistol-grip shotgun with more than 100 shells. In his apartment, a search found a copy of the Qur'an, and many other  Muslim books, Though early reports that he had no history of violence, it turns out that Faust was previously charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of attempted second degree murder in Baltimore November 2004, when Faust was 14 years old. Faust was expelled and banned from campus after he enrolled in a GED program at Pitt Community College, and worked briefly gardening at the Lucille Gorham Community Center in Greenville for one year, beginning in 2010  paid by Youth@Work of Pitt County, a non-profit that helps young people obtain job skills.


Mainstream story:  This is just some random young guy who is crazy got easy access to a gun.We have to fix the root cause of too many troubled young men from disadvantaged backgrounds and too many guns.

What this might really be about: This kid had many chances. He tried to kill people and was released. He tried to get a GED and was expelled. He tried a jobs program. But in the end, could this be yet another person, minority Muslim or otherwise recruited by the War of Terrorism against the US and "zionists" to punish US wars?

He was polite; he helped us any way he could.”The Youth@Work website posting described Faust as “outgoing, dedicated and enthusiastic” and said he was the first to accept a volunteer assignment.
  • Expelled from Community College: Baltimore teen moved to Pitt County and began a GED program at Pitt Community College at 16. He was banned indefinitely in 2006 from the main campus for disruption of a basic skills classroom, Vice President of Institutional Advancement Susan Nobles said. He was arrested for trespassing when he returned and was charged with resist, obstruct and delay after providing a false name to PCC police during arrest.
  • First-Degree murder Faust was charged with attempted first-degree murder and other charges related to an incident when he was 14. His case originated in November 2004 and went through Maryland district and circuit courts before it was remanded to juvenile court. Juvenile records routinely are sealed, and case details were not available on Monday.
  • Gun Permit denied: On Aug. 29, 2012 his application at the Pitt County Sheriff’s Office for a handgun permit was denied because he had been convicted of a misdemeanor in the last 10 years.
  • Jailed for 74 days for returning to college: Faust was found guilty on those charges and spent 74 days in jail, a court official said. 
  • Maryland schools: His PCC records indicated he had attended a high school in Maryland, but there is no record of Faust attending Pitt County public schools, spokesman Brock Letchworth said on Monday. Greenville Police Chief Hassan Aden said he did not know if Faust has family in the area.

The program provides employment, training and educational activities for youth ages 16-21. It is a federally funded program for “disadvantaged youth as far as income is concerned,” Youth Employment Specialist Rufus Wilson said.To enroll, youth must have some barrier to employment, such as pregnancy or parenting, criminal history, disability or basic skills deficiency. Members are placed at community worksites, Wilson said.A section on the program’s website that spotlights youth featured a photo of Faust and said he accomplished many goals and overcame many obstacles.
  • Unemployed on Social Security: His affidavit of indigency indicated he is not employed and receives between $600-$700 monthly from Social Security. A judge assigned his case to the public defender.
  • Music lover: “Lakim spends his down time lending a helping hand to his neighbors, friends and family,” the posting said. “But his real love is his music; he enjoys composing, listening and playing his music. One of his goals is to own a record studio and record his own music.”The man’s neighbor, Paul Avignone, on Sunday said he heard music from time to time at the apartment, but Faust “never bothered anybody” and was quiet.
  • Loner: Faust kept to himself and rarely was seen, Avignone said.
  • Sparse apartment [how did he pay for it?? ]On Friday, the alleged shooter walked from his apartment at 217 Hartford St. past a group of neighbors who were outside smoking, Avignone said. Detectives believe Faust left with a pistol-grip shotgun and more than 100 rounds of ammunition with the intent to inflict mass casualties, police said. The sparse apartment, which police searched Friday, is within walking distance of the law firm and shopping area where the shootings took place. Police said Faust appears to have targeted people at random. 
  • Comments speculate if he could be a jihad terrorist

    Varying accounts of Faust emerge
    By Kristin Zachary
    The Daily Reflector
    Tuesday, June 25, 2013
    Details that emerged Monday painted contrasting images of the man accused in Friday’s shooting spree.

    Lakim Anthony Faust, 23, faced attempted murder charges as a teen, was denied a permit to purchase a handgun in August and was banned from Pitt Community College for disciplinary problems. However, local organizations where he worked and volunteered described him as a polite person who liked to lend a helping hand.

    Faust used a shotgun to shoot one man about 11:40 a.m. Friday in the parking lot of Kellum Law Firm, Greenville police reported. Then he walked across the street to the Walmart parking lot and shot three more people at close range before police shot him. Police said the four victims and Faust all are expected to survive.
    Online court records from Maryland show Faust was charged with attempted first-degree murder and other charges related to an incident when he was 14. His case originated in November 2004 and went through Maryland district and circuit courts before it was remanded to juvenile court. Juvenile records routinely are sealed, and case details were not available on Monday.
    The Baltimore teen moved to Pitt County and began a GED program at Pitt Community College at 16. He was banned indefinitely in 2006 from the main campus for disruption of a basic skills classroom, Vice President of Institutional Advancement Susan Nobles said. He was arrested for trespassing when he returned and was charged with resist, obstruct and delay after providing a false name to PCC police during arrest.
    Faust was found guilty on those charges and spent 74 days in jail, a court official said. On Aug. 29, his application at the Pitt County Sheriff’s Office for a handgun permit was denied because he had been convicted of a misdemeanor in the last 10 years.

He completed a short, off-campus PCC course on building weatherization in 2011 but did not earn his certification, which requires additional testing, Nobles said.

    The sparse apartment, which police searched Friday, is within walking distance of the law firm and shopping area where the shootings took place. Police said Faust appears to have targeted people at random.
    He is charged with four counts of attempted first-degree murder, was served with warrants at the hospital on Monday and is under a $6 million secured bond. Faust also is expected to be charged with shooting at officers.
    His affidavit of indigency indicated he is not employed and receives between $600-$700 monthly from Social Security. A judge assigned his case to the public defender.
    In addition to the 2004 Maryland charges and the 2006 PCC incident, Faust was charged in 2007 with second-degree trespassing and defrauding an innkeeper and in 2008 with injury to real property and personal property. Those charges were dismissed.

    WHAT QUALIFIED HIM FOR SOCIAL SECURITY? Submitted by gvegas72 on June 25, 2013 - 6:36pm.
    Just asking, and again a WONDERFUL job by our Justice system who let this low life out on society. Sounds like he was a "ticking time bomb" which went off last Friday in Greenville. So disgusted, and yeah where is the hate crime offense, since he was black and he went after whites? Amazing huh?

    ANOTHER EXAMPLE Submitted by nightrain on June 25, 2013 - 4:49pm.
    Another example of how our government wastes our tax money. Supporting people like this. Maybe if he had not been given a check every month, he would have had to get a job. Then maybe he would not have had time to sit in his rent assisted apartment thinking about killing people. The people that paid his bills. Just let me keep my money and invest it in my best interest, instead of paying into social security to support people like this.

    "HE PROBABLY HAS SOME SORT OF Submitted by starviego on June 25, 2013 - 1:24pm.
    "He probably has some sort of mental instability"

    Yup, which means there is a shrink somewhere in the background. Who is perhaps best qualified to tell us about the mental state of the perp and what his motivations were. But we will never hear more of this person.

    It also means Faust was taking anti-depressants at some point. Just like all the other 'Columbine-client' type shooters. Like I sez, watch for that black trenchcoat somewhere in his history(or his closet).

    The weird thing is we still don't know a lot about certain antipsychotics, antidepressants and so forth. In other words, in some cases we know a lot, and in other cases we're not sure how the med does what it does. In some cases, these meds do a lot of good. But in some cases, they make people extremely violent, paranoid and so forth. Take Mellaril for example. It may calm Jane Doe down and allow her to work a 9 to 5 job. But it may cause John Doe to become violent enough to hurt somebody.

    You seem to know how these work. But I'm not sure if I'm helping to contribute to the discussion, or making it more unclear for others. The main thing to know is...sometimes the meds work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes the meds have bad side effects, and in others they don't. Sometimes they cause other problems (Geodon is known to cause diabetes for example), and sometimes they don't.

    So it's entirely possible that somebody switched the meds on this guy recently. Or he stopped visiting his psychiatrist or family doctor. Or he stopped taking his meds, even though his doc told him to stay on them.

    I guess we'll have to wait and see if that info comes out. The HIPPA act makes it nearly impossible to discover these things, you know. I'm amazed that we found out as much about the Aurora Movie Theater shooter as we did.

    HIS HANDLER Submitted by starviego on June 26, 2013 - 12:52am.

    Good point about how the laws work. I'm hoping that police find out how that shotgun was purchased. I'm willing to bet it was either (a) stolen or (b) straw purchased by a girlfriend or close buddy. If we find out that option B is correct, the offending parties need to be sitting in jail right beside Mr. Faust.

    At the risk of repeating myself, we should ENFORCE the laws already on the books. The pistol permit process worked. One other gent called his weaponry an "upgrade." Obviously not, since he fired at point blank range on one guy and didn't manage to kill him--thank God for that!

    He probably has some sort of mental instability, and that explains the $700 Social Security payments. This will all come out in the trial. He has few friends and/or family as well, which could be part of the problem. I'm not saying that a poor upbringing EXCUSES his adult behavior, but it can cause this sort of thing. I say this because other than his boss at the Lucille Gorham Center, nobody has went on camera to call him a "good boy" yet.

    I'll also conjecture that he came from a single parent family. I'm sure there will be plenty of mad single parents who will complain about that statement, and they'll claim to be the exception. But facts don't lie--kids from single parent homes are more likely to go to jail, more likely to be promiscuous, more likely to abuse drugs, etc.

    THERE WILL BE NO TRIAL. Submitted by starviego on June 25, 2013 - 1:30pm.
    "This will all come out in the trial."

    There will be no trial. He will be held incommunicado for a year or two, and will then one day reappear, just begging for the right to plead guilty. In the depths of the criminal justice system, no one can hear you scream.

    ANOTHER TERRORIST ON THE PUBLIC DOLE Submitted by wildlife guy on June 25, 2013 - 9:52am.
    Pay close attention to the second to last paragraph of the story. This seemingly healthy guy capable of cleaning bathrooms, gardening , and enrolling himself in educational institutions was recieving $600-700 a month from SOCIAL SECURITY. No wonder there will be nothing left of the money I have no choice but to put into that system. It's going to people like this guy and the Boston Chechens. It's buying pressure cookers and shotguns to be used against the society that sustains these morons. The police had a valid opportunity to kill this guy, and sadly they didn't take it. From the day he was born until the day he dies his entire life will have been subsidized by the taxpayers of this country. Why?

    FAUST DENIED PISTOL PERMIT Submitted by PittCountyPride on June 25, 2013 - 6:59am.
    The handgun permit law did us little good, except to upgrade Faust's armament. Instead of him having a pipsqeak handgun with which to terrorize the community, he chose a repeating 12 gauge shotgun. In this instance, the end effect of gun control served no purpose except to increase the lethality of the would-be killer's weapon. I'm waiting to hear how he made it through the NICS System. I bet he (or someone else) violated a dozen federal laws. Gun laws don't keep killers from killing, but good guys with guns do...

    TRUE ABOUT LONG GUNS Submitted by Armynurse on June 24, 2013 - 9:15pm.
    But more has come out about this cat's history. It seems that he has a juvie charge for either murder or attempted murder from 2004 on Maryland. While most records don't follow a person past age 18, that one may have been the deciding factor in why his pistol permit was turned down.

    So the question remains...the NICS instant check had to be done on that shotgun the last time it was sold through a legit dealer (big box store, pawn shop, gun shop, gun show). Who bought it? Why aren't they being questioned? Was the shotgun stolen, or was this a straw purchase? If it was a straw purchase, then why isn't that person at the Magistrate's office being charged?

    THE NICS CHECK WORKED Submitted by Armynurse on June 24, 2013 - 1:35pm.
    Obviously, Sheriff Elks' decision and the NICS system worked, because this dude was DENIED a permit. So how did he get the shotgun? A straw purchaser perhaps? The person who sold him that shotgun should be in jail right now.

    The problem with our country is that we don't enforce the laws already on the books.

    NO PERMIT REQUIRED Submitted by baburns on June 24, 2013 - 2:48pm.
    A permit is not required for shotguns and rifles, though such purchases usually are subject to background checks. A bill currently moving forward in the state House would end the requirement that people obtain permits to buy handguns.

    Shotgun and rifle purchases are always subjected to background checks with only one exception. That exception is when a person has already undergone backgrounds checks, taken a mandatory class, and holds a concealed carry permit. Incidentally, a pistol purchase permit costs $5 whereas the concealed carry permit costs around $200 for application and training fees. The purchase permit is received in around 5-10 days. The concealed carry permit? Close to 90 days and in some counties even longer than that.

    The bill you reference would end the requirement to obtain a purchase permit from the county Sheriff but would not change the NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System)requirement.
