Churchgoers thwarted a teenager armed with a rifle from entering a Louisiana church full of children Saturday in a service that was being livestreamed, authorities said.

Police were called to St. Mary Magdalen Church in Abbeville, 20 miles south of Lafayette, at 10:35 a.m. when the 16-year-old suspect tried to get in via the back door.

The teen who was arrested was described as being dressed in all black. Could mean nothing, or he could be an Antifa-type.

Is this the reason the state of New York tried to ban parishioners from having guns in church?

Let me guess: another anti white mentally challenged commie female who thinks she’s male trying to lash out at society.

Biden and the MSM keep warning us about the dangers of “Islamophobia,” yet it is Christian churches (400-800, depending on the source) that have been under assault in this country (and in Europe and Canada) for the last four or five years.

Article doesn’t say, nor does it have a picture of the perp.

I want everything about this “teen” and his/her/its background and motives revealed to the public. Nothing covered up! Christians are under attack everywhere and vilified by the government and media. Time to resist and declare this is not acceptable in our nation.
Thank God a potential massacre was thwarted by some brave people.

Abbeville is in the heart of Cajun country.

I’m surprised the youth survived the encounter.

Just wondering why this thread was removed from Front Page News. I believe it is very newsworthy. It won’t be seen by many people now.

Our Catholic Church (St. Peter the Apostle) has armed police officers during Mass. Several parishioners, my self included, carry. I try to position myself where I can watch the side door to the parking lot. There are too many whackjobs running loose nowadays.

Thanks for that link. He was there for mayhem and massacre. Please don’t let this be covered up. I want to see the manifesto. And to the media, stop calling him a “teen”. Investigate, that’s your duty as journalists. Get it all out, let the public know everything.

Thanks! White, and a teenager ...

What psychotropic drugs has he been taking since he was 3 years old?

Yep....was this kid gender confused?

It sure seems to be a commonality that runs through many of these incidents.

This thread will fizzle out very soon as the moderator has seen fit to remove it from Front Page News. I don’t get it. It’s a significant news story in my opinion.

RE: armed police officers during Mass. Several parishioners, my self included, carry.


Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

I am not being ironic.


Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition
by Frank Loesser (1942)
Sung and played by Kay Kyser and His Orchestra

Praise the Lord and swing into position
Can’t afford to be a politician
Praise the Lord, we’re all between perdition
And the deep blue sea

All aboard, we ain’t a-goin’ fishin’
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
And we’ll all stay free
Praise the Lord (Praise the Lord) and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord (Praise the Lord) and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord (Praise the Lord) and pass the ammunition
And we’ll all stay free


Song was a response to Pearl Harbor. “The song describes a chaplain (”sky pilot”) who is asked by a group of soldiers under attack by enemy planes to say a prayer for them. The chaplain puts down his Bible, mans one of the ship’s gun turrets and begins firing back, saying, “Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.””

First they came for the Jews and now Catholics. Better wake up people.

Hope you have someone in the parking lot and the front steps as well.

I have original sheet music for that. The title always cracked me up.
