Mass shooting in small town Texas

[Dr.Sid]

There are millions of white Baptists in the USA, especially in the South.

ETA: And here is their Facebook page.

My bet would be on a member (or former member) with a grudge.

My bet would be another bored want to be famous idiot. Based on statistics. But srsly, people like that would kill even without guns. I wouldn't invest much hope into gun control in this regard.

I doubt they would have managed such a high body-count.

Probably correct. That simply shows my ignorance of relgion... I always thought First Baptist was usually black and American Baptist was usually white. I obviously know nothing! Mea culpa!

Yes, the man could have used a swimming pool, I guess. It would have caused the same amount of casualties.

Sadly, this Onion article is as relevant as ever:

Donald Trump has tweeted from Japan:

So he remembered to show sympathy for the victims and their families first this time. I wonder who really has his phone.

Police shoot him dead after a 'pursuit', it is being reported.

If this fellow was in combat gear and armed with an AK-assault, could be a neo-nazi survivalist, with a handy captive audience for his target...?

 

[Sideroxylon]

Yes, prayers wont solve anything. Nobody says they would. It's expressing sympathy, nothing more. Get over it.

And then nobody does anything.

According to this person, it was some guy who first killed his family. Claims source is CBS.

Makes sense as domestic violence is a key motive for many shootings.

"Reports out of Texas are devastating. The people of Sutherland Springs need our prayers right now."

The murdered victims were in a church, praying. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless dick.

Nailed him on both counts. Prayers mean crap and he is a worthless dick!!!!!

I find the whole thing difficult to believe. Sure, this kind of thing can happen in California, but Texans are armed.

It's almost as if armed bystanders are no help!

Good afternoon. I wonder what Shinzō Abe, thinks about this hanging out with Trump? More people were just shot to death in a morning church session in Texas than were shot to death in most years in Japan. Would this be a topic of discussion between them? Will Shinzō Abe say something inappropriate and blame the mayor of Sutherland Springs Texas?

Guy with truck in Nice killed 86, wounded over 400. With cops at the scene.

And how often does that happen?

Do you think there's a reason why most mass killers in the USA use guns instead of vehicles or swimming pools? What do you think that reason is?

Again, I believe he is offering sympathy, not solution. Can't you people understand this basic fact ?

It happened at a church, in the middle of the service even, so I think we can be reasonably confident they had the "prayers" part covered already.

The shooter was in 'full combat gear', apparently.

...what does that even mean? Several guns instead of one?

He was an oppressed Muslim killing privileged white people, no big deal.
