    What's odd to me is that with every mass shooting the discussion usually channels straight to gun control as opposed to maybe, crazy people control. This guy gave all kinds of indications that he was a nut and was quite dangerous. The hard right is trying to paint him as an antifa "member", but this sounds nothing like their sort of sanction. I've also read that he "hated" Christians, but it appears most of his ire was directed at his mother in law (now there's a shocker).

    The fact this asshole shot so many children is all I need to know about where he should have been; locked away and doing the thorazine shuffle. I say it's time to bring back the insane asylums. I can only wonder if a reform school might have helped him earlier in life. It's clear he was grossly violent. And some heads at the Air Force need to roll as well. They knew he was a freak but stopped short of recording the most important facts about him.

    Asshole committed shaken baby syndrome to fracture that child's skull.

    Then he wussed out and shot himself.

    Devin Patrick Kelley, the gunman who killed 26 people at a Texas Baptist church, suffered three gunshot wounds, including a self-inflicted shot to the head, Texas authorities said Monday.

    Kelley, 26, was also shot in the leg and torso by an armed citizen, said Freeman Martin of the Texas Department of Public Safety, citing autopsy results.Mass Shooting At Church In Texas

    His main target was his grandmother-in-law who he despised .......................

    The gunman behind the Texas church massacre killed his grandmother-in-law during the attack, multiple friends of the woman told CNN.

    Devin Patrick Kelley had domestic problems and texted his mother-in-law as recently as Sunday morning, not long before he carried out the largest mass shooting in Texas history, authorities said.

    Seriously, don't know how to react anymore. My daddy was s cop, and I've squeezed more triggers than eazy-e growing up.

    But fuck this shit. I'm ready to ban anything bigger than a sling shot

    "On Monday, the Air Force admitted that it had failed to enter information from Mr. Kelley’s domestic violence court-martial into a federal database that could have blocked him from buying the weapon used in the church attack."

    Why does this happen so often in America?

    A lot of people here have guns, and are crazy.
    But mass shootings are extremely rare.
    In fact, I can't think of any.

    I will always be of the opinion that widespread ownership of guns should not be allowed in America. Authorities cannot possibly constantly monitor ever gun owner to check that he (or she) has not suddenly become violent, started suffering mental health problems, started taking drugs, or taken to excessive drinking. A friend of ours is a member of one of the UK's armed response units. In more than 20 years, neither he, or any member of his team have shot anyone. Statistically, if I visit New-York, my chances of being shot by a civilian are 50 times greater than in London and my chances of being shot by the police are 200 times higher. London has 31,000 police officers (including our daughter) and between them they shoot less than one person per year (3 in the last 10 years). I wonder how many American states can beat that record.?

    The video, the guy who gave chase said that the shooter seemed to give up and drove off the road, into hay bales and he didnt move after that. He never said he was firing at the vehicle in his recount of the events.

    If it looks like a terrorist act - it is . The war comes home . End this established War on Terrorism : it's too much bad nonsense
    and can be acted-out randomly , insanely . Speak for peace , and do not accept victimhood as unity .

    Ugh, why dont we just shoot people that do shit like that

    We had a case here last year, a couple tortured their 3 yr old over several months eventually to his death, both parents are now in prison for 30 years, seriously, why not just shoot them, pay for them to be in prison for 30 years for what? Our society wont collapse if we just shoot them



    Also, this texas church shooter guy, first time I'd actually seen what he looks like, what a miserable looking fucker

    You can just tell in the eyes, never brave enough to try pick on someone bigger than him I'll bet

    Just because someone has a gun, it does not deputize them into law enforcement when tragedy strikes. Then the media makes them out to be some captain America hero in the same sentence a right wing nra card carrying tobacco chewing buffoon..
