We had a priest murdered in our church in Phoenix last year. You’d better believe I’m carrying.

That pretty much settles it for me! Obviously a democrat southerner, ticked off because the South lost. Want to keep mass shooting from happening? Ban liberals, not guns. ]

He could have also been the child of Afrikaners that were forced out in the early 90’s and re-settled in the USA and still held their Grudge...

If that was his motivation, he should have hit a mosque.

I was talking about the church where this happened where it was against the law to CCW.

Where I live and go to church we don’t have metal detectors and CCW is allowed and practiced.

Illegal?

”You rape our women and are taking over our country.You have to go.”

Idiot. There were probably a few black Vietnam vets, Desert Storm vets and Iraq & Afghanistan vets at that church that gave way more to this country that this little kid ever would have.

True, a few lifetime-unemployed thugs and welfare sucking queens that make a living being baby mamas are ruining this country. But there are far more black folks out there that have more courage and honor in their pinky toe that this little mentally deranged freak has in his whole body.

It’s a shame that the pressers turn into a circle like this is. Give out information. Save the back slapping and politicking for another time and place.

Really?

Does The One make a speech after every mass shooting? Or just the ones he can use to further his sick narrative and agenda?

This is a vicious and horrible tragedy. He should just keep his mouth shut and play the back nine.

Yea, also they are creepily calling him by three names. DYLAN STORM ROOF. I am more inclined to think his name is PATSY.

Churches do not ban the carry in most cases, it is the state that does. No one at any church I have been to in the south does anything to stop Concealed carry in or on the grounds of the Church. The State does not have door guards at churches, either.

The penalty for first offense , if it goes that far, is a misdemeanor, like a traffic ticket.

Roof, 21, has been arrested twice this year. In his Facebook photo, he wears a dark jacket with the emblems of two flags from African countries when they were ruled by whites.

metal detectors in church? Good grief. I have never seen that nor would I attend one that had them.
