    Edit: This was based on the original thread title.

    Why are you asking us?

    Tell us what you know.

    This is a silly way to start a thread.

    I'm hearing as many as 16 people shot in a church. Some dead, some wounded. The shooter is dead but it's unknown at this point whether someone in the church or law enforcement killed him or whether he offed himself. :garamet:

    I edited the thread title so it wasn't so ambiguous.

    27 dead. Car chase. Goblin dead, not known if he suicided or got shot. Motive unknown.

    Trump has said he hopes God is with the community. Given that this occurred in a church, my question is where the omniscient muthafucka was at the time.

    News reporting man was in full combat gear and it was a foot chase not a vehicle chase.

    Hearing that there are 27 dead now and at least 30 injured.

    That's almost 10% of the population of that town. :(

    Nothing to see here, folks. Please move on.

    Repeat after me: you don't have a gun and/or cultural violence problem.

    This message brought to you by the NRA and America... FUCK YEAH!!!

    If only Texas had a lot of armed people and loose gun laws someone might have been able to stop this in it's tracks. There are never enough good guys with a gun because stupid gun grabby Obama and the dems want this sort of thing to happen. I bet that town and church don't even exist.

    My map of Texas doesn't even have a Sutherland springs. This is some sort of false flag shooting. It must be fake. That couldn't happen in Texas.

    Right back at ya, @ed629 :finger:

    And don't give me the bullshit line about, "This isn't the time to get political; won't someone say a prayer for the victims?"

    You people have a BIG. FUCKING. PROBLEM.

    If you're incapable of changing the conversation -- particularly after a guy sprays a bunch of elementary kids with bullets, or another guy goes on a rampage in a night club, or another guy mows down people from his hotel room in Vegas -- then you're a fucking lost cause. Period. End of story. No debate. Buh-bye.

    Was it God's will, or does he work in mysterious ways?

    This is something that I think all religions really need to get a grip on.

    God gave humans free-will.

    The other side of the coin of free-will? We have to deal with the consequences of our free-will.

    It means God can't intervene. God won't intervene. To intervene means humans don't have free-will.

    If you're rescued it isn't Gods doing. If you die it's not God saying it was your time and it's all part of the plan.

    There is no divine plan. For anyone.
