An Anderson County Middle School student was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with 32 felony counts of terroristic threatening for possessing what police are calling a “hit list.”

The list contained the names of 32 middle school students, according to the school’s resource officer, Joe Saunier of the Lawrenceburg Police Department.

Saunier said he arrested the male student after he arrived by school bus to the middle school Wednesday morning.

He said the student did not have any weapons on him at the time of his arrest.

I received an email from a reader of mine who doesn’t like “my brand of religion” and who said, “If there is a God, and he is a loving, merciful one, how could he possibly want you [me] as his spokesperson?”
The reader claims I am selling sin and damnation and says I am depressing others. I would like to address all of these concerns.
I do not consider myself to have a brand of religion, even though I am Baptist. I consider the Bible to be the inspired word of God and it is all I rely on to write my column.
