“Charleston, S.C., has just suffered a race-motivated terror attack.”

Why try and call it crap like that? Just call it what it was: a deranged psychopath went on a murder spree, and unfortunately nobody put him down.

His problem is he’s a lying coward murderer.

If he actually wanted to go after the scumbags that actually do rape white women and commit crime and murder,

he picked the exact opposite demographic to go after.

But cowards are bullies and he picked on unarmed black Christians instead, the people so not doing the things he’s insane about.

They are not in the 3% demographic that he should have dealt with, and they’d have probably blown each other away. He’s such a wuss he wouldn’t pick the correct folks to go after because he may have had to die for his convictions. So he knew he’d find good people instead and be able to do this to unarmed people.

We would of had a dead bad guy, and would not have to listen to endless calls for more inane gun control.

Couldn't happen as they were in a "Gun Free Zone". And I would bet that, sadly, every victim agreed with that city ordinance.

What I don’t understand is this.If he had to reload 5 times, why didn’t anyone rush him. He was a small guy, hell I bet even some of those 6 women he shot could have tackled his ass.

Who brings a gun to church?

It’s a sad day when we do.

The people who do bring guns to church are CCWs or off duty police/military who haven’t had time to change out of their uniform. Still there’s no clear cut easy defense against at least the early shots, and there’s a risk that even defenders will put bullets in bystanders as well. But this kid was a coward. IMHO, somebody needs to let the inmates of whatever prison he goes to know that he is a black child killer, then see how long he lasts in there.

In most of the evangelical & charismatic churches I know of, the leadership and ushers are armed.

I wasn’t there, so I really hate to 2nd guess the victims, but if, “He’s said to have reloaded five times during the course of the attack, allegedly even taking the time to talk to his victims,” then it sure seems to me that someone could have attacked him.

We all know that if somebody is well armed and prepared to shoot people, he will kill a certain number before he can be stopped.

One or more of the victims could have been armed, but killed before they could draw.

Better that chance than be a sheep led to slaughter. Are firearms repugnant to you or something?

If there is a place my weapon is not welcome I take that to mean I am as well.
