Since Wednesday's horrific double murder of journalists Alison Parker and Adam Ward in Roanoke, Virginia, anti-gun activists have pounced at the opportunity to call for more gun control and exploited the tragedy within hours of its occurrence. Keep in mind the following statements were made before the facts were in about how the killer obtained his firearm.

#factsdontmatter! Thanks for pulling this together Katie.

On another note, someone is indicating that there are some discrepancies about the video the perp made during the attack. Video seems to indicate a white hand holding the gun and a blue shirt sleeve when other reports indicate the perp was dressed all in black. What's up with that? Anyone seen anything similar posited?

[GOJPN]

My mind is made up. Do not try to confuse me with the facts or the truth. Heavy sarcasm font.

[Tijeras_Slim]

He was a very light skinned black man.

[Sasparilla]

Neither facts or simple truth matter. Its just the usual manipulation of emotion to further liberal control and their hydra headed agendas.

I blame it on this flag!

The Truth About Guns in Virginia or anywhere is that gun crimes go down when the likelihood of victims shooting back goes up.

The hatred was building in this guy for a long time. Does anyone believe he could not have killed his victims some other way if he wanted to?

I watched that video. Yeah it’s a dark, blue shirt. Yet from the perspective of the crew at the station (it was still dusk at that time of morning) it did appear in the short moment the killer could be seen he was in all black.

Mind you the guy had a rental car and plenty of time to do other things between the shooting and when it was caught up to and killed himself. Change clothes even maybe? Who knows? Doubt we’ll ever have the events that occurred between them murder and end of it all.

Hate?! Causes instability. Must ban now.

[rktman]

Everytown response: “Nuh uh.”

According to the article linked below, the perp had a wig, a hat, three different license plates, and other items of disguise in a “getaway” kit found in the rental car.

Dylann Roof: “The cause was a racist who worshipped symbols of hate! Ban the Confederate Flag and blame this racist shooter!”

Vester Flanagan: “The cause was the gun!”

He spent weeks, maybe months, planning this.

Imagine if he decided to learn a little simple exothermic chemistry. Nitrogen-based compounds are everywhere and nitrogen can be extremely reactive.

Boom. 100 white people dead.

The sad truth is that you will never be able to control violence, whether it be committed by guns, knives, baseball bats or whatever. The only ounce of prevention available is identification of individuals likely to commit such acts. However, thanks to lawyers and expressly those who argue civil rights, this will never be implemented. For example, subject shows violent tendencies at work. Management was slow to discharge him, most likely because he held a race card. Subject files a lawsuit and, per his manifesto, wins. Truth be known, lawyers probably negotiated a small settlement in lieu of protracted court time and legal fees. However, nothing goes on his record. Had he seen a psychiatrist, we would know nothing thanks to privacy laws. So how do we identify the individual about to explode? We can’t. Statistics will play out and every once in a while we will have a horrendous act such as this. Accept it but put efforts to reduce crime into known areas promoting violence, such as gangs, drug infested communities, etc. This will not be done by Democrats because it is hard, involves risk, and does not affect the general populace which they hope to totally control one day.

Then later a black guy who used to work at the station commits suicide with the same gun. I wonder where he found it and what are the odds?

[smokingfrog]

Did you hear about all the stuff they found in his car? I think he was definitely planning to do more. They got lucky and caught him with that license plate reader. His downfall was his vanity and wanting to “show off”.

[sevinufnine]

I’m not surprised.

This is all anyone here in S.W. Virginia is talking about. It’s our home town station :( My son’s roommate went to school with the young women who was killed, and a good, friend of mine has a son who works @ WDBJ7 as a cameraman too. too close to home.

[Lazamataz]

What else did he have in the car?

[Yosemitest]

Blame it on DEMOCRATS AND the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF !
Gun Control ?
HELL ! We need TO CONTROL OUR GOVERNMENT ! ! !
This is what happens when the GOVERNMENT FORCES you to hire REPROBATES !
We wouldn't have THIS PROBLEM ...IF ... WE OBEYED GOD ! ! !



TO TOLERATE HOMOSEXUALS IS EVIL.
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written:

“ For whosoever shall commit ANY of these abominations,
even the SOULS that commit them
SHALL BE CUT OFF from among their people. ”

Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.

It was given by our Heavenly Father to test us
to see ... if we will OBEY our Heavenly Father,
and abide by His commandments, statues, and ordinances.

Someone once asked

"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"

The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE".

rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]

1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.


Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.




2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.

They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.

3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.

And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."
