Remind me how many times PA has chastised you for bigoted comments?

She said that she was looking for a positive in the massacre, and what she came up with was that if you’re going to get murdered, then church is a good place for it to happen, since the victims were happy and close to God, like she is when she’s at church..

You were on the right track with pathetic.

But roll your eyes and bang your head...that helps.

There's a reason most of these guys kill themselves after they are finished...they weren't desensitized enough I suppose.

we live in a more desensitized time than when we were growing up, for sure


that's just after 5 seasons. Up to season 8 now, more violent in recent episodes.

I'd wear those two red squares like a badge of honor.

Nice try with taking the Fox host's comments out of context...you knew what she meant.

What did Lenny mean? Exactly what he said no doubt.

She MEANT to say the right thing...but the WAY she said it was beyond idiotic. Half of the victims were CHILDREN, for heaven's sake...and she is looking for "positives" in this heinous tragedy? The children won't have to "experience any pain or suffering anymore"? Is there really a "positive" in stories such as these?

When people are paid to talk...then they should be more mindful of what they say...IMO. And, in cases such as this, SILENCE is more useful than mindless babble.

Seems to be a lot of that going around recently.

Maybe the "climate change scientists" might make better use of their time trying to fix that problem.

I think it is part of the much needed demise of political correctness.

Agree -time for IGGY for him - IGGY is for people so stupid of so disgusting that there in point ever reading anything they post.
Danny boy hit a double in this thread.

Beside, like horsey, the dude is nothing more than a meme repeater- why bother with a lazy DB?

Regardless, it was an offensive and insensitive statement by McKean, that downplayed the power of Christian prayer that so many Christians put so much stock into.

He wouldn't have said the same thing if we were talking about Muslims or Jews...that's a guarantee. He doesn't have the balls.

This was McKean's way of telling the elected official that prayer alone won't do the trick...and that "something else" should be tried. There was no disrespect intended towards the people who pray...IMO.

And, before you ask...I know as much about McKean's intentions, as you do about his balls.

They help to desensitize would-be shooters just a tad...

Nah it's looked at. A lot of shooters don't typically "fit" that profile though. I blame social media waaaaaay more but you are on to something as it's a part of a greater whole.

EDIT: saw your post about online play. We agree way more now.

He was confronted outside when he had finished. And still the good guy didn't "stop" him. They exchanged fire and the shooter drove away. Police then chased the shooter until he crashed his vehicle.

The conviction of the gunman, Devin P. Kelley, for domestic assault on his wife and infant stepson — he had cracked the child’s skull — should have stopped Mr. Kelley from legally purchasing the military-style rifle and three other guns he bought in the last four years. But that information was never entered by the Air Force into the federal database for background checks on gun purchasers, the service said.

More gun control measures are not the answer, when the ones we have are bungled by government....

The "good guy with a gun" shot the bad guy, causing him to drop his gun and take off. There is no evidence yet as to what the bad guy might have done or could have done had he not been shot. If he didn't shoot anyone else in the immediate area at the time, he would have been at large, armed and dangerous.

From WFAA, ABC-TV in Dallas:

The local resident, who a neighbor described as the "nicest man on the planet" and who authorities are calling a "Texas Hero" had grabbed his rifle and engaged the suspect as he exited First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, just 40 miles southeast of San Antonio.

According to state officials, during the confrontation, the Good Samaritan managed to hit the suspect, who then dropped his assault-type rifle and fled from the church. The local citizen waved down another man driving by and the two chased after the suspect.

During their pursuit, the suspect, identified as Devin Kelley of New Braunfels, used his cell phone to notify his dad that he didn't believe he was going to make it. Kelley crashed a short time later.

Authorities found Kelley dead inside the vehicle and believe he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, but the pathologist will confirm his cause of death.
