White Texan Military Veteran goes on Shooting Rampage

That's wrong.
Mental illness can also mean that your Neurons are "wrongly wired", something that doesn't necessarily lead to measurable differences in our brain chemistry

It was a revenge murder, which isn't a sign of mental illness.

RIP

Yeah, I won't be able to wear my Ruger tee shirt for a while.

Who said that society hasn't changed BK?

the guy escaped a mental health facility in 2012 - and apparently he was considering killing people in the military chain leading to his court martial, he was caught sneaking weapons onto a base in NM

Indeed. I don't see the 'domestic issues' as a convincing justification for gunning down 27 innocents.

He regularly beat his wife and their son (even so far that he cracked open his sons skull).
His wife had to endure a martyrium till she was able to break free of him.

He wouldn't be the fist wife-beater who executes revenge after is wife trying to break free of him.
And why would he show any compassion towards 27 people he didn't know, if he wasn't even able to show compassion towards his own wife and son?

[ Liberals Make Fun Of Prayer Following Texas Shooting

November 5th, 2017

Reactions to the church shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas have broadly consisted of sympathy and calls for prayer for the victims and their families, but some prominent left-wing voices have taken the opportunity to politicize the incident. Some on the left have used the shooting to mock the concept of prayer and Christianity.

Officials say that a gunman dressed in “full gear” and walked into First Baptist Church outside San Antonio, Texas, murdering scores and wounding more than a dozen churchgoers on Sunday morning.

Following the shooting, a number of prominent media personalities, celebrities and liberal pundits took the effort to mock the concept of prayer and called for gun control.

Wil Wheaton, the washed-up liberal actor best known for “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and self-proclaimed “geek icon,” attacked Paul Ryan, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, who was sharing a call for prayers for the people of Sutherland Springs.

“The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they’d still be alive, you worthless sack of ****,” wrote Wheaton.

The occasional “The Big Bang Theory” guest star issued an apology to his readers only 6 hours after being savaged by others on Twitter, including non-believers, who took him to task for his callous attitude and lack of sympathy.

Lauren Duca, the Teen Vogue blogger best known for being dunked on by The Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson on his Fox News show, mocked the concept of prayers, implying that none of it helped the victims who were slain in church.

“It” and “The Shining” author Stephen King mocked his political opponents by comparing them to uneducated hicks by dropping the G’s in his statement: “Enough with the prayin’. Time to start legislatin’.”

David Simon, the showrunner of HBO’s cop drama “The Wire” and “Homicide: Life on the Street,” joined the chorus of aggression against Speaker Ryan to “educate” him on the concept of prayer.

Kaili Joy Gray, managing editor at the progressive, pro-Clinton news organization Shareblue, mocked the concept of prayers outright, accusing anyone of praying of “[giving] zero ****s.”

MSNBC national correspondent Joy Reid penned a lengthy series of tweets condemning the NRA, stating that the organization was “soaked and bathed in blood.” She followed it up with tweets about how America was seeing a resurgence of neo-Nazism.

In the moments following the breaking news, Comedian Chelsea Handler, who just had her show canceled by Netflix, blamed Republicans for the mass shooting.

“Innocent people go to church on Sunday to honor their God, and while doing so, get shot and killed. What country? America. Why? Republicans,” she wrote.

Birth.Movies.Death movie critic Anthony Oliviera shared similar sentiments about the shooting, and chose to attack Paul Ryan.

Liberal actress Debra Messing repeated her calls for gun control — just as she did during the Las Vegas massacre — calling Congress “complicit” in the violence.

The Soze Agency’s co-founder Michael Skolnik, whose organization boasts about how it creates “campaigns about compassion, authenticity, and equity,” pinned the blame on President Trump for doing “NOTHING to prevent a massacre from happening again.”

Max Boot, a Council on Foreign Relations fellow and a right-wing critic of the Trump administration, called outright for an “assault-weapon ban.” He stated that he was “sick & tired of ‘thoughts and prayers.’”

Professional racebaiter Tariq Nasheed claimed without merit that the man identified as the shooter, Devin Patrick Kelley, was a “white identity extremist.”

Hey, new question.... police claim the killer fired 450 rounds, mostly in the confined space of a church. He had military training, and still only killed 27 people. Is this why American's need access to automatic guns? I have a better kill ratio using a .22 with prairie dogs, and they are tiny and move very fast...

[Uncle Sparky]

Oh, and Kid... when the US finally takes away your guns, I promise to send you some 'thoughts and prayers' to make it all better!

Actually it would change your brain chemistry. Brain chemistry is a symptom not the cause of the problem.

[Ben Kenobi]

Proteus:

If you were a detective, the problem with that motivation is that it doesn't actually explain his actions. If he were targeting his family, he could have gone to their house. It also doesn't explain why he chose to kill anyways. That he was a militant atheist does explain why he targeted that church and why he chose to continue killing people who were not his family.

Sen Cruz said that in 2010 48,000 felons lied on forms to acquire fire arms and the Obama administration only brought charges against 44 of them.

[Kidlicious]

Oh, and Obermann took the opportunity to call the POTUS racist again. I think U Sparky did that. I'm not sure though.

[SlowwHand]

No one will take guns away in Texas. Bank it.

[Dinner]

The shooter not only was put into a sanitarium in 2012 but he broke out and tried to flee.

Remember when Ben claimed the guy wasn't mentally ill? Yeah, we will stack that with all the other things Ben is completely wrong about.
