Terrorism on American Soil - Texas Massacre in the House of God

[oldngray]

The current toll is 27 dead and 20 wounded. A concealed carrier could have certainly stopped the carnage before it got to this point. People who mass murder are cowards. They go where they figure they will encounter the least resistance. I don't go *anywhere* without being armed. This was a small town of 400 residents where people didn't even lock their doors to quote one of the bystanders.

The police said the shooter wasn't from that area but gave few other details.

the guy obtained is gun legally it seems

Race has absolutely nothing to do with it.

I have no idea what race this shooter was. Makes no difference.

Unless you are looking for an excuse to play the race card.

He was a white 27 year old male.

We don't know the motive so why insist race has nothing to do with it?

I for one would not want to go to church and have to worry that Billy Joe Jim Bob in the next pew is packing heat during the service.

I don't even know that it matters. I'm curious about the technical definition.

Fact is, dead is dead.

Not sure what Obama has to do with it except for your intellectual insecurities.

Did I mention Obama?

Another example of you trying to make a connection that does not exist.

Well that should make us feel better about it.

Coincidentally today is the anniversary of the Ft Hood shooting. Nothing said about any connection yet but it is a possibility.

So many mass shootings and only 365 days in a year. Shooting dates are bound to coincidentally line up.

Would it have made any of the victims less dead had he not?

mass shootings have been done by all colors, it is a mixure

Because race has nothing to do with it?

Monkey butt did.

Not all about you.

You would think these guys would plan ahead so as to avoid confusion.

meaning more gun control would of done nothing

 

[Jkloc420]

it is in regards to the more gun control people

 

[zubenelgenubi]

Terrorism significantly expands government power under the patriot act. Maybe not necessarily always a bad thing, but the potential for misuse exists.

 

[bbsam]

Because race has nothing to do with it?

How do you know? No motive has come out.

Sutherland Springs and New Braunfels are about 40 miles apart. Never been to Sutherland Springs, but been to New Braunfels many, many times.

That's what you say when guns are obtained illegally.

 

[bottomups]

Time to offer thoughts, prayers and wait for the next one.

So true. I have become immune to these shootings after Sandy Hook. If nothing was going to be done after the slaughter of children then this country gets what it deserves.

 

[oldngray]

Because you started playing the race card where it doesn't apply.
