Insertcreativenamehere Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Lord have mercy on us. Our country's adulation of guns is idolatry, preventing us from caring for and protecting people made in the image of God. He has to weep at how far we have fallen while we invoke his name. 17 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy101 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 32 minutes ago, Katy said: Why would a 28 year old woman… did her child get kicked out? Why would ANYONE go shoot up anyone? Hell. Even during war, this would be a war crime. Like there aren’t any angry pissed off females in America with access to guns and ammo? You know why she did it? Because the guns and ammo were there for the taking and she didn’t care about life anymore. Not hers. Not theirs. I’m sure that just like every other scenario we will find out dozens of people could have prevented this. We will find out that numerous simple measures being followed or being implemented could have prevented this. We will find out that she was angry. Hurt. Depressed. On meds or not on meds. Hopeless. Single. Married. Or divorced. No one really liked her. No wait many loved her and wanted to help but found they couldn’t legally do anything but watch the train wreck. People who cared couldn’t imagine she’d do this. Blah blah blah. None of which means anything bc the reason she did this is bc she got the guns and ammo to do it and our society didn’t bother to make that harder for her to do. 23 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauraw4321 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 6 minutes ago, ScoutTN said: No free to say more, but the shooter was the child of a mentally imbalanced former member who was legally banned from the premises years ago. Not a random thing. This young woman was taught to hate, bred up on lies and warped thinking. All her formative years. Very scary even years ago. The power of parenting can be frightening. Not saying she is not responsible for her actions, or that people cannot break free from such backgrounds. Just that our influence as parents is deeper than we even know in our day to day life. Horrifying. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This young woman perceived herself as a victim and did not have empathy, compassion, listening, respectful disagreement, or logical thinking modeled in her home. Again. New day, same story. There’s millions of people like that in the world. And they don’t go on mass shootings bc even if they want to - they don’t have the opportunity to do it. Unless they live in the USA. 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there will be lots of people jumping to, “If she didn’t have access to those weapons, she just would have done it another way.” No, it’s very unlikely that she would have. It’s in large part the fact that so much lethality can be accomplished by someone with little strength or skill that makes these weapons so dangerous. Had she had just a knife, it’s unlikely she could have gained access to the inside of the school at all, much less do more than begin to attack one person before she would have been overcome by staff on premises. And most disturbed people who would be willing to stand at a distance and pull a trigger at someone are much less likely to be willing to go to hand to hand combat with them. 14 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all rumor mill junk though. The police officer at the press conference confirmed that the shooter identified as trans and that it may have been a motive for the shooting. They found a manifesto…he didn’t elaborate. I assume we’ll know more facts in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Oh, @ScoutTN; I saw it on the news and had no idea it was your church/school. I've been praying since I saw it. I am so deeply, deeply sorry. Please know I'm praying for all of you, all of the families, all of everyone. If there's anything tangible we can do to help, please let me know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
