Poliltical corretness continues.

“Boyd told KRDO that Bourbonnais should have evacuated the building with the rest of the parishioners.”

It’s important to be a sheep and follow the flock.

Unless there is more to this story than we are being told, the leadership at that church are idiots.

“His actions last weekend probably did more to harm the process than to help it,” Boyd told KRDO.

Is this the so-called "process" of healing? In that case, sweeping the facts under the rug helps nobody. The correct response to the other guards' non-response is to find some new guards, not punish the whistle blower. Those that are traumatized by the shooting and still refuse to take measures to defend themselves will probably take comfort in knowing they're no longer guarded by sheep.

Ladies and gentlemen of Freerepublic.com, your protection is up to you. Leadership will not and can not protect you. Get your concealed carry permit and bear arms everywhere that it is legal to do so.

There is a tremendous trait among humans to try to find meaning or significance in events. The fact is many events (maybe most) have no deeper meaning or significance. Sometimes bad things just happen.

This tendency is common with both religious folks and non-religious folks. There seems to be a remarkable reluctance to cope with the fact that some things in life are just up to chance.

The day’s events included a brief, strange moment when one of those wounded last week was escorted from the church campus by the police, who asked him not to return.

Larry Bourbonnais, 59, left church grounds peacefully at the request of church officials, who called in Colorado Springs police for extra support.

“He cooperated, and we told him that he wasn’t welcome back on the property,” police Sgt. Lonnie Spanswick said.

Church officials told police they plan to file a restraining order against Bourbonnais, Spanswick said.

In a news conference after church, Boyd said of Bourbonnais, “We felt he was a bit volatile this morning, and we did not want any disruption to our service.” Boyd said officials will be reaching out to Bourbonnais this week to ensure an “amicable” resolution. Boyd didn’t elaborate.

Does anyone else find this more than a little strange? why would Bourbonnais want to talk to them after how they treated him?
