This reminds me of the last scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. They're holed up in a Mexican stable, bleeding. They reload their guns and get ready. They run out, guns blazing, surrounded by 100 Federales on the walls with rifles.

The United States is like Butch and Sundance. We did some bad stuff but people still like us. We got charm, we got game. The Federales are like the crazies with guns, the only one-half of the 2nd Amendment counts losers, and the NRA. So struggle as Butch and Sundance might, in the end, there will be a hail of bullets, thoughts, prayers, and corpses. Luckily, absolutely nothing will be done.

It's inspiring, really.

Another church shooting. The Charleston church shooting was racially motivated. I don't know, but I don't see race as a possible motive here. Somebody hates Mormons.

Yeah, as long as it's white people we don't have to care so much. Thanks for pointing that out before anyone gets too invested.

You may want to put down that chip on your shoulder for a bit, it's weight is making you delusional.
 
Damn - wow.... unconfirmed reports that the man drove his truck into the building then used an incendiary device in an apparent attempt to start a large fire quickly - likely trying to burn down the church with everyone still in it

I was honestly thinking okay how much of fire is it, and then saw this tweet. I'd say if people shot were trapped inside they're gone.

The church looks like it’s completely destroyed, someone said the roof collapsed or was collapsing.

Early reports said 6-8 victims, just horrible, hopefully that number won’t climb, and they were able to get the victims out.
 
I literally looked in the breaking news section and didn't see the other thread. I don't know why I don't see those.
 
Unconfirmed motive - apparently the church was considering changes to it's trans policy, the man behind those changes died yesterday. So pretty damn coincidence if this is true.
