White Texan Military Veteran goes on Shooting Rampage

[Berzerker]

and he apparently tried to bring weapons onto base to kill the military people responsible for his court martial

I cant believe the guy wasn't in jail much less blocked from buying more weapons

[Ben Kenobi]

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

What evidence is there for a prior mental condition?

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

Of course no one would take them away... all law abiding citizens would happily hand them over to the government, right? If guns were illegal, only criminals would have guns, right?

In other news: A policeman in Abbotsford, British Colombia was shot and killed yesterday. I mention this, because British Columbia has 4.5 million people, a city (Vancouver) has a metro area of 2.5 million, thriving drug and prostitution trades, Canadian gun laws, and Const. John Davidson was the first cop shot dead in BC in 30 years. I'm sure there are a plethora of American states with similar stats... (true... American cops are fare more likely to shoot first...)

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

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.

Still trying to justify you "narrative" which you got from the Sun...



It's like you KNOW AS A FACT what his motivation was... when in reality, you are ignoring all the real facts like his domestic problems, the email threads made to in-laws the DAY BEFORE THE SHOOTING simply because the facts don't support your narrative. Most real media sources (not the rag you use to learn about the news) aren't adopting your narrative because they are looking at actual facts.

So continue to whine about how Christians are the ones being targeted when the facts don't support your wild ass claims.

Violent deranged lunatic and atheist are not mutually exclusive

That he had been involuntarily locked in a mental institution and even escaped from said mental institution after bring illegal guns on to base in order to shoot his chain of command? You, ****.

Violent deranged lunatic and atheist are not mutually exclusive

Neither are "violent deranged lunatic and christian", "violent deranged lunatic and Muslim", "violent deranged lunatic and Buddhist" and so on

Nobody here seems to not know that.

[Proteus_MST]

Nobody here seems to not know that.

Just like noone here doesn't know that there also can be violent deranged Atheists

Then why is it important whether or not he was insane?

[Proteus_MST]

Then why is it important whether or not he was insane?

Why is it important whether or not he is Atheist, if the reason for attacking the church members lies in his insanity and not his Atheism

See, this makes me think that you don't know that those two things are not mutually exclusive. Just because he was insane, doesn't mean that he didn't hate Christians. In fact, the fact that he was violently insane is evidence that he DID hate Christians.

What makes you think that these 2 things are necessarily connected?

Sure, he obviously hated his wife and her relatives, who were christians. So, he technically hated (some) christians.

Doesn't mean that he did his amok run in the church because of hate for (all) christians.
According to all I read the evidence more supports that the motives for his amok run were revenge on his wife and here family (because she dared to take steps to get divorced from him)

You're treating him like the demons in his head told him to kill people. That's not what happened. He killed Christians because he hated Christians.
