“He could have also been the child of Afrikaners that were forced out in the early 90’s and re-settled in the USA and still held their Grudge...”

The patches on his jacket in one of the photos go with your theory.

Yea, the “taking over our country” thing sounds very odd to me. It sounds more like a left winger writing a script than something a real NaziFreak would say.

We had a priest murdered in our church in Phoenix last year. You’d better believe I’m carrying.

Yes, those zippered bible cover / organizer things are handy in so many ways. If you have one that is prominently marked "Holy Bible" or such, you could probably leave it on the seat of an unlocked car and no thief would even think of looking inside.

Once they got both security camera footage with a face that matched a recent arrest photo of the suspect, it didn’t take long to get an arrest.

A witness reports that he said,”You rape our women and are taking over our country. You have to go.”

And he shoots 6 women and 3 men?

Every person on Earth is our brother and sister as we are all children of God. Now, whether we acknowledge they are our brothers is a different story.
I do see these people in this church as my Christian brothers and sisters and I would stand beside them all they way against evil little mentally deranged psychos like this kid.

Colin Ferguson redux with the roles reversed. The difference here is that no one will be making excuses for this clown (nor should they) to attempt to “understand” his actions, and he will likely be executed in a timely manner unless he cops a plea.

And just as last time he will get nothing.

even the spineless GOP knows to do so would mean quick retirement.

As for those that will say it a good thing that churches are denied CCW, (and they will)

“Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchus.”

Even the apostles in the presence of the Christ were willing to be armed. It was only that what must be done to fulfill Christs purpose was Peter rebuked
“ Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

I was surprised when I heard it was a black church. I thought all the black churches had been burned down.

Or a street corner where known gang members gather.

I pass a couple of those on the way to work. That thought crossed my mind this morning too. A bad guy picked a bad location.
