A man entered the Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, a suburb of 26,000 people about 17 miles northeast of Fort Worth, on Saturday morning during services. He took four people inside the synagogue hostage and claimed to have bombs in unknown locations; one, a man, was released around 5 p.m. Around 9:15 p.m., Star-Telegram reporters at the scene heard a bang and what sounded like gunfire at the scene. Witnesses reported seeing increased police activity around the synagogue. At 9:30 p.m., Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted, “All hostages are out alive and safe.” The hostage-taker is dead, Rep. Beth Van Duyne told the Star-Telegram.

What on earth is the matter with you ?

[lightman]

“from an unprepared and evil death, good Lord deliver us”.

While Almighty God does not delight in the death of the wicked; His thoughts are not our thoughts and our ways are not His ways.

God forgive me for rejoicing in this Texas law enforcement kick-@ss operation.

Praise God. This is the best ending scenario.
The worst would be if the hostage taker were still alive and subject to imprisonment. That would have just given his
terrorist pals a second madman to scream and shout about freeing.

I was thinking some kind of sedative gas could have been placed into the ventilation system. Just enough to put everyone inside lightly asleep for 30 minutes or so.
There would of course be dangers to that tactic as well as the others.

Can you imagine if the hostage taker had lived? He would be a leftist celebrity, invited to speak at colleges to an enthusiastic audience.

[Celtic Conservative]

Well then God forgive me too, ‘cause this retired cop feels the same way.

Since this technically wasn’t Jihad he goes to hell and gets 72 Helen Thomases to be replaced with 72 Hillary Clintons when her time comes.

Rules.

[UNGN]

Maybe he’d tell about all of the FBI interviews he’s had.

FBI douche couldn’t very what the terrorist said on the live stream. Well he said it, but we don’t know if he meant it..

[miserare]

Is he still going into those strip joints?
