"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."

It's almost a lock he hasn't heard, You treat others like you'd like to be treated.
He resembles John Hinkley, the Reagan shooter.
Is it measured as increasing? I wouldn’t be surprised if true. Makes one wonder why so few murders in comparison in the old West or early 20th century. And it was pretty normal for people to own guns then as well.
Let us not forget an important aspect of the Columbine Massacre that has been shoved down the memory hole:
During the Columbine massacre, in which 15 people were murdered and 21 injured, a total of four firearms were involved. The murderers also employed four knives and 99 explosive devices.
Of the firearms, only one qualified under the 1994 federal law as a banned “assault rifle”. One firearm was a doubled barreled shotgun with a shortened barrel. It has long been a federal felony to saw down the barrel of a shotgun and it was also a felony to possess such an altered weapon.
Every single explosive device was a federal and state felony to assemble, possess and use, and to use in the commission of a crime.
If the memory of Columbine is ever brought up today, the failure of the law to stop the use of explosives in a school massacre is never mentioned. It is never mentioned because that gets in the way of a Gollum-like fixation on the Precious, starting with the banning of certain firearms and certain accessories but to eventually to banning all firearms.
So far, the Precious Thing that progressives think will allow Utopia to arrive has slipped from their grasp. Being able to keep and bear arms gives free people the power to defend themselves from dangerous people or dangerous government. The Truth also gives power to defend as well. It is only a matter of time before progressives want to ban it as well.
“I’m sure the atheism angle will be ignored, but the era of more frequent mass shootings has come in an era of decreasing belief in God among the young.”
I’m sure MSNBC will create a good embellishment. Make up some ties to Westboro. It’s the Minitru way.
Wish these murderous cretins would put a test round into their own heads first before embarking on the slaughtering. Little evil Dmitri’s destiny with el diablo below has been put on hold for now.
Clearly these minors going on shootings can be stopped by making the age to buy guns 21. /liberal logic
These non-political kids are the most dangerous. Rudderless without any beliefs.
In less than 12 hours we already more about this guy's computers than Hillary's server.
OMG! He had his father’s LEGAL GUNS. 3-2-1
From another FR thread, I posted:
“Today Cthulhu has become an atheist/agnostic way of giving the middle finger to religious belief and moral absolutes.”
I think I nailed it.

But wait.
Dimitrios’s apologists have been busy on this forum insisting the pins on the jacket were photoshopped.

This is what you posted:
CHURCH The Assumption of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church in Galveston has posted photos of their "Galveston Nisiotes" - a Greek Dance Troupe performing at the Galveston Heritage Festival on its website. In one of the photos, a "Dimitri Pagourtzis" is listed in the photo caption. The suspect's mother's Facebook page also includes a similar photo of the same Greek dance troup.
What I read is a very lapsed Orthodox Christian or a "cultural Greek Orthodox"--attending Church functions more for Hellenic culture than for Christianity.
No death penalty?
Well, he’ll never have to work a day in his life now, I’m sure.
I’m waiting to hear whether he was on any drugs, such as Ritalin.
“On the same day, he also posted a photo of a jacket with pins of various symbols (Communist party, Iron Cross, Rising Sun, baphomet, and Cthulhu).”
