"We went through scriptures. We talked about it and he accepted the Lord," Murphy said.

The pastor of New Harmony Worship Center called it "mind-boggling" that the same boy had an eight-step plan of attack to shoot up Jackson Middle School.

Dollars to doughnuts, he was on “mood enhancing medications”.

I tend to agree. Maybe the parents will come out after a month or two and admit the kid was under treatment and had gotten a new prescription of some type.

Well, what about this? Evidently he was insincere in this avowal. So where does that leave us?

It seems the kid made a 180 from the crusades indeed, so to speak

I am always amazed at a Pastor who cannot detect the hate of God or hypocrisy in a flock

WHERE IS THE DEMAND FOR FEDERAL AND STATE INVESTIGATIONS ????
They’re missing the point It’s not guns or the NRA It’s policies which had cops standing outside while killing was going on, Some nut getting a gun the FBI knew he wasn’t suppose to... Plus a whole raft of other stuff
STOP SPREADING THE CABLE SWILL MILLS POISON
DEMAND FED AND STATE INVESTIGATIVE HEARINGS ON POLICY

Did the parents look up from their phones long enough to see how this kid was doing?

Perhaps he’d been given a prescription to “help” him deal with his family breakup.

“…I’m going to die doing it. I hate those people, when they interview my parents and ask how they didn’t see the signs they should know it’s not them it’s me and it’s because of how I see the world… I’d hurt and destroy something bigger but my schools an easy target.”
