lds, everybody has a religious title so don't give it too much weight. Heavy concentration of that bunch in southern part of the state, well all over actually. But the structure of the hierarchy of the church gives everyone a title that is seen by outsiders as something more than it actually means.

So his dad works for the SD? That's going to be awkward.

Having lived in the "mozone" for a couple decades plus, I can tell you that his stature basically means that they go to church and don the underwear, do as they are told by the church... mostly.

My contact with them has been positive. When I was a kid i had two friends who were LDS. They weren't goodie goodies but they seemed responsible and kind, especially for their age.

In several communities dominated by the church I worked and studied with lots of members, some I am still friends with, but in the shooter's case, there's something askew with the proposed beliefs.

I'm sure you've encountered nice people who happen to be members, I know several.

if he showed up for services on time, wore a tie, and didn't pick his nose during the sermon.

sounds like the magas are turning on themselves.

Attacking the opposition has already backfired.

Why the fuck is Trump giving updates and providing quotes to the media on this? Why is he trying so desperately to control the narrative, and what is he trying to cover up?

From initial impressions, one would be hard-pressed to find a young person more integrated into a culture somewhat insulated from other facets of American society. Unless they find evidence to the contrary, it’s still their sticky booger.
