1. Oh man, ANOTHER one...

[wnylib]

2. Sounds like it could have been a targeted shooting

over a personal grievance. Will be interested in what the investigation turns up.

3. Will GOP send thoughts and prayers

even when it was in a church? Since Godlessness is the real problem here. Or mental illness, or build the wall, or travel ban, or something other than guns.

4. Aren't churches usually gun free zones?

Maybe they should post a larger sign stating that policy.

7. Prayers aren't working. Send more gunz!

Also, less doors.
Also, shut down all churches. Fewer churches == fewer church deaths!

10. If God had been armed, this could have been prevented.

12. MSNBC just said the third person has died

80+year-old woman. Sounds like the other two were in their 80s as well. Shooter 71.

What the fuck.
