Comments on: Two Dead In Tenn. Church Shooting

Seven Others Injured As Man Blasts Shotgun During Children's Play; Suspect Is In Custody

[missut2]

From another article...Jim D. Adkisson, 58, was charged with first-degree murder and was being held on $1 million bond.
Dead are Greg McKendry, 60, a longtime church member and usher and Linda Kreager, 61, who died at the University of Tennessee Medical Center a few hours after the shooting. Five people remained hospitalized, all in critical or serious condition.

So far, there is no motive. (other than hatred)

My condolences to all the families involved.

This is why my daughters pack their sub-compact 9mm Glocks and I and my wife each take our Mossbergs to church on Sundays. You never know.

I only made it as far as the 4th page, so if any sane people commented after that I apologize, but oh .my.god. People are dead! Children are traumatized and you sick people think this is just another opportunity to take cheap little pot shots at one another. This is not some event staged to protest guns, or the lack of guns. It is not about being a Christian or not. You people who call yourselves Christian should be ashamed, Jesus specifically told you NOT to pass judgement and TO love one another. Does it strike you as loving to decide that the person who gave his life to protect the others in his church deserved what he got because he doesn''t see the world the same way you do? NO ONE DESERVES THIS, and how dare you suggest that they do.
Those of you who are not Christians, shame on you too. You immediately assume that you understand what motivated this poor sick individual, but the truth is, we know absolutely NOTHING about his motivations. Still, any excuse to bait the poor dumb Christians. After all, it''s just another church shooting, hardly anything to really be upset about. Let''s just use it to take another shot at those who don''t think the same way we do. Shame on the whole lot of you.

This was a liberal church who fought for civil rights, including gay rights, very controversial in this redneck state. What do you want to bet that the perp is a Christian terrorist? Many acts of terror in this country are by Christian terrorists but we never hear that term. Yet how many radically fundamental Christians are on the official FBI list of 400,000 possible terrorists in this country?

Here''s a way to protect your college-age children from this kind of catastrophe: Have them join the military and get stationed to Korea, England, Germany, or Japan.

By moving there, their chance of dying of a gunshot wound goes down to 0.6% of its chance here in America, thanks to gun control in those countries.

Join the military, save a life (your own). Its an idea whose time has come!!

How did you ever get so screwed up in your thinking?

He could never be so screwed up in his/her thinking as are those who believe blindly in a mystical God, and a book of fairy tales.
