Sure.
People have become so outraged at others and their brain has been infected with bull shit that when some one pisses them off instead off just putting the f**ken gun to their sick brain they just go kill everyone they see, Bring back the death penalty for every state. Bleeding hearts are going to ruin this county, Trump said it right People are mentally sick and thats what kills.
Racist – please move to Europe – no civilians with guns there – just a muzzy waiting to prod your pie hole exit. Your to funny to be a bunny – PS to the church lady – not all people who attend church are true Christians and honest people.
You KNOW he voted for the scum demorat Hitlery – Thank GOD for President Trump and the NRA !!!
LOL lucky for you Hillary voters aren’t exactly republicrook gun nuts like this guy! He’s a trumper, obviously
Fox just reported he was after some family relatives – 8 from same family killed – He was not a nice human being – arrested for beating his wife and daughter 2 years ago – DISHONEST DISCHARGE from the military last year – Him and Bergdale should both have been in prison – PS – It was a WHITE guy who shot him (carry permit ) and stopped the killings. PS slimeball – if you love the Muslims so much please join ISIS so we can exterminate you legally.
Your comprehension sucks. I don’t “love Muslims” – I hate all religions equally. My point is our nation reacts differently to mass murder based on the religion and / or color of the killer. It’s hypocrisy based in ideology.
You are engaging with 60+ aging white guys from Iowa who will never change their ideology….a futile exercise. You have typos but generally your message is comprehended. I cannot blame them…they never asked for slavery, but like their forefathers…they tolerated it. Karma is punishing them and the rest of America.
So it was a white, mentally ill lone wolf and now a brown, Muslim terrorist?
Thanks to the NRA and their fight for assault weapons, innocent blood of children drips from our pews while we worship.
Nope. The guy illegally possessed a weapon and killed because of his blind hatred. Much like the kind you have.
It was the constitution that allowed a brave hero to legally possess a firearm and stop the crazed killer. The NRA had nothing to do with this situation.
Unfortunately snowflakes like yourself can only hate and assign blame.
Shot by a unbelieving Democrat as usual.
