In this case, Liberals will have to alter their view and favor the Death Penalty in this case while Conservatives will remain consistent and favor the Death Penalty for this murdering POS thug.

I agree with posters 2 and 3. And why is it a barf? If the chief is telling the truth about the note (and no reason to believe he’s not, as of now), that’s the way it is, and this nut can’t be blamed on a leftist ideology. Nuts come in all flavors, and some of them are going to have loony ideas on all sides. Deal with it.
Are liberals now a protected class or is it because these Unitarians are “gay-friendly” that this is a hate crime?
Being pc requires so much twisting and turning. If you’re a conservative, you can just say “execute murderers” and you’ve covered every contingency. This guy’s a murderer, period. Execute him.
They will attempt to play this up as such as much as possible a such when the truth is, this was simply a diluded. depressed individual who snapped and became a murderer.
It has nothing to do with conservatism or traditional values, despite the upcoming best efforts of the MSM to the contrary.
In the mean time...
He also said he was mad that his well fare was about to be cut off.
Wow.
He’s awfully committed for a man who will soon be having LOTS of homosexual “relations’.
I would love to see exactly what he said.
Could be a liberal disguised as a conservative in order to give conservatives a bad rap.
Loonies!
Just a matter of time before it’s an SKS used for something like this.
This guy is no more a true constervative than Timothy McVey was. Conservatives don’t commit acts of terrorism. I won’t believe this until the killer’s actual letter is released. It could be the sheriff is a liberal himself and is saying these things to smear conservatives.
How is this a hate crime? It is an attrocity and a vengeful act, but the people he killed and aimed at weren’t homosexuals or members of a protected class. Christians in and of themselves are not protected by hate crimes legislation.
Painting 666 and inverting crosses and stealing baby Jesuses aren’t considered “hate crimes” when churches are vandalized.
His anger, from this excerpt, appears to have been with church leadership which taught acceptance and celebration of sinful activities. So it could be construed as a difference of opinion in religious doctrine.
If a Baptist speaks out (non-violently) against the Catholic Church, is he guilty of hate speech?
Killing the innocent is always wrong.
I don’t care what the guy hated, he took a gun into a peacful gathering and killed in a cowardly manner.
So, basically, the guy was a nutcase, but I’m sure the MSM will try to portray ALL conservatives in an equal manner.
The libs appease Islamic terrorists when they kill innocents. I wonder if this church will therefore appease those who share this freak’s views?
Sad, pathetic little man with a mental illness, and no one to turn to.
(Still, I would seek the death penalty...)
UGH, this stupid psycho... it wasn’t bad enough he had to kill people at a children’s play in a church, but now he’s tarring conservatives with his crimes. Go away please... no one EVER needs ‘conservatives’ like that! I don’t care what he thought he was accomplishing, firing a shotgun in the direction of innocent children is pure evil, and no one’s fault but his own.
I was in one of their churches recently for a retirement party and yes, they are quite leftist. But that in no way excuses what this homicidal maniac did. And if he is given the death penalty, no doubt the congregation will be protesting and condemning the sentence. They tend to be very pacifistic sheep.
