  1. Pb says:

    No one will ever report on the demonic in these shootings. This will not be seen as part of the war on Christians. Mercer had a social network name of Iron Cross. The Columbine shootings occurred on Hitler’s birthday. Also, this shooting occurred in a gun free zone. The security officer was armed only with a can of mace. There is plenty to talk about here other than gun control.

  2. Katherine says:

    This event is obviously deeply evil. It is no surprise that evil, having taken hold of a man, targets God’s people.

    I do wonder whether the shooter will be shown to have been affected by either illegal drugs or prescription anti-depressants so often linked to episodes of violence.
