I'm glad they got that sick freak!
I'm taken by how he didn't commit the crime right away, he just walked in there and waited until they were doe. I wonder if he joined in the prayer meeting....giving the victims a false sense of security?
About TheContrarian, just ignore him and ban him. He's just an inferior troll breaking wind.
My heart goes out to the victims families and survivors (if any).
Are there any survivors? Tell me he didn't succeed at killing them all! There has to be survivors. Someone saw this and reported it. There surely were survivors, wounded or otherwise.
What really makes this tragic is that this little punk managed to kill so many. You'd think there would be more wounded survivors. You'd think in a room full of people running around there would more wounded than physically dead.
I read some articles, he was observing the service. The church invited him to join but then he pulled out his gun and started shooting while yelling epithets. How many people were at this meeting? Maybe there was a large amount and a bunch wounded and a bunch more living unharmed survivors and the nine who were sent to the afterlife were just really in close physical proximity to this guy.
I just can't accept that there was like only nine or ten people in a big room and one little dim-witted punk successfully managed to quickly kill them all despite all the struggling like he was some sociopath white supremacist male murderer answer to Annie Oakley. Even if it did happen as I described, I just can't accept it.
What gets my goat is that, like the Sandy Hook shooting, their will probably be no change in gun laws! Hopefully, in relation to all the Police-brutality stuff going on and the big movement against it, maybe....MAYBE something might be done!
I'll just say to myself, "Death is not the end. The victims are victors. They're still alive, they live in the hereafter. They caught the perp & his afterlife will be awful, unlike the victims, who are happy in a beautiful new world".
Hopefully, 2016 will be the year that the tide turns for the better. We need to vote all as much wingnuts out as possible, vote in as much sane people as possible & vote Bernie or Hillary into the White House! Bernie would be far better but if he doesn't get the nomination, Hillary would have to do. I'm sick of all this "Reaganomic/Teabagger/Religious Right/Koch Brothers/Wingnut" kookfest. Almost all the gains made in the 20th Century have been reversed. It's a tragedy.
At least America is waking up and a new Progressive Movement is emerging, along with a new anti-Police Brutality Movement.
