Okay, so I turn on the news this morning and not one station is treating this Texas shooting like it is news! They're dancing around it, showing things like NFL protests, trump in Japan, cupcakes 101 etc.....it's very odd, considering we had 24/7 coverage of vegas for days on end.

What the heck is going on and what do you see in your area? I'm just stunned.

Atheists are a protected species in our godless Democrat media.

Also, an armed civilian was the first responder that put an end to the shooter.

That’s OK-This IS America, right?

But I’m curious, if he had trouble with the authorities... previously, how can he have kept his weapons, legally?

Apparently the murderer passed a “background check” and bought the rifle at a San Antonio retailer in 2016. This despite the fact that he had disqualifiers of domestic violence conviction and a dishonorable discharge.
And it turns out that the killer was himself killed by an armed citizen, shot in a gap in his body armor, something the anti gunners will gloss over.

And a citizen stopped him with his own AR-15 before he could get away and kill more people

My Wall Street Journal has it on the front page.
CNN and CNBC had it as the lead story much of yesterday on their websites

Yesterday my wife said she saw somewhere on the Internet that his Facebook posts reflected a liberal mindset. I have not seen any corroboration, but the crickets would suggest as much.

In less than 24-hours, the hateful, godless liberals have slithered forth from the filthy sewers of the seaboard citadels to ridicule and marginalize white Christians following the Sutherland Springs mass killing. Would these same self-loathing, effete, gutless fairies ever say the same thing about Muslims, had a mosque been shot up instead of a Baptist church? Of course not. This is their opportunity to go after the same white heartland Americans who rejected their psychotic, criminal empress last November.

Meanwhile in Chicago, Baltimore, Cleveland, St. Louis, Oakland, Los Angeles, Camden, Memphis and other black enclaves, more people are murdered in a week than were killed in Sutherland Springs. So, what’s the difference? Blacks are a historically reliable monolithic Democrat voting block, who shall never, ever be criticized or held accountable by their liberal masters. That, of course, would be both racist and politically self-defeating -— regardless of the body count.

Can anyone document the democratic anti gun push a few days ago?

Left-wing atheist who hates Christians, possibly passed background check, shot by an armed citizen. Church was full of white people, probably overwhelmingly conservative.

If this had been a white man with an NRA life membership shooting up a black church, you would hear about nothing else nonstop for weeks. As it is, it doesn't fit the narrative and isn't useful for advancing the socialist agenda.

Just read that he was killed by his own hand...so are we looking for two different bullets?

It's on the front page of every MSM news outlet I've clicked on so far.

It aS just reported on F&F that it’s been determined to be a self inflicted gun shot. But he intended to get away and cause more damage until the two good guys went after him.

1. Atheist
2. There’s already a law on the books that says he could not legally purchase a gun.
3. The hero is a legal gun owner and fits the profile the media were HOPING would fit the shooter.
3. Victims are Christians and likely Trump voters.
