Dayton mass shooter Connor Betts was reportedly the lead singer of a misogynistic “pornogrind” metal band called Menstrual Munchies — which released songs about rape, murder, necrophilia and other gruesome acts against women.
“I feel s–tty having let him be in the band, doing those lyrics,” said bandmate Jesse Creekbaum in an interview with VICE News. “It’s like, Jesus Christ, how much of this was like real life for him?”
Betts, 24, slaughtered nine people on Sunday — including his own sister — with an AR-style rifle before being killed by police. He also managed to wound 27.
“I know, like, whereas I saw it as a joke — like, ‘Let’s play this and we’ll shock some people,’ and then the people that we know laugh — he didn’t see it as a joke,” Creekbaum said. “He was like, ‘F–k, yeah. We’re gonna do this.’”

"On a Monday which began with Jacob deGrom helping the Mets complete a nearly 10-week climb to reach .500, the suddenly surging franchise became a winning team for the first time since May 2, capturing a thrilling 5-4 comeback victory — on a trio of solo, seventh-inning homers, including back-to-back, two-out shots by Conforto and Alonso — over the Marlins to sweep ......

Miracle Mets II ??
Apparently, this nutcase was offed inside of 30 secs .. Ned Peppers was a cop-bar/hangout, a Blue Lives Matter supporter given decor and what the employees wore at times.
It’s because Mercury is out of retrograde, according to Pete Alonso.

“Ohio suspect was anti-police/pro-antifa, so isn’t it interesting the bar he targeted has a blue lives matter flag proudly displayed on their wall, even included it in their statement on the tragedy. Seems a year ago they also had their employees wear blue lives matter shirts. Coincidence or motive?”

Note: Dayton shooter’s sister worked as a tourguide at the Missuola Smokejumper Visitor Center in Montana. Is this a ‘law enforcement connection’ the shooter detested?

From twitter: "Can someone read my horoscope? My month sucked too."
50 games left, 32 at home, they've won 57 and have to get to about 85 wins for a wild card. It's doable, given their pitching & hitting. But the most important thing is they kept the team together, rather than trade off pieces. So, in keeping with the memory of Casey Stengel, “Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa.” :):):)
We’ve all carried around more damage than would have been necessary if we had all banded together in embracing God.
Where Christianity has manifested in past decades, it has tended to be either cloistered in self-elite deemed little groups, or else in places where nobody “respectable” would listen (e.g. the addict recovery).
There’s nothing intrinsically evil about any of the sciences, even psychiatry. Millions of people have experienced quiet victories because scientists found medicines that were, in essence, true verified brain tonics (rather than the hit-or-miss things of the snake oil era). But if said brain is still used for trash, now this is a moral problem. Here is where Christians with national exposure who do not jerk the knee against medical science per se would be very helpful.
Music is also not inherently evil. It is a vessel of a message. What the message is, is the responsibility of the individual composer, and in turn what music is enjoyed is the responsibility of the individual hearer. Even Rachmaninoff and Saint-Saens can carry an evil message, given certain contexts.
Education is also not inherently evil. It is the profession of teaching. What is taught is, again, a moral responsibility. What is learned is also a moral responsibility, but children are far more vulnerable to ignorance and unbelief which is why God has assigned a role to parents to mirror Him as best as possible. Parents are there with a God-given assignment to train up a child, not train a child down.
Next time, feel free to just leave the killer’s name out of the headline. Nobody will reproach you if you do.
It is helpful as these threads are referenced in the future, to have context reminders (especially when more than one such disaster happened within a short period and confusion could exist).
What is truly wrong is something like Drudge did, where it basically put a neon sign up pointing to one of these killers’ manifesto. Well really, Drudge, that isn’t even good conservatism. That’s careless tabloidism.
