Church shooting in Texas. Multiple casualties

[Gman]

As soon as I heard that the USAF dropped the ball in reporting his conviction to NCIC I had a thought- this is government, and all of it's inadequacies. Can someone please tell me how more government (capable of such errors quite frequently- remember the case of Rene Lima-Marin?) is the solution? While most are well intentioned, mistakes occur, and the bigger the bureaucracy the bigger the mistakes.

Some folks want 'laws' to protect them. Well, here you have a situation where there were many laws, and there was an utter failure of any protection whatsoever.

...but those folks don't learn from these situations.

Then they would have no need for funerals because the novel Rapture theory (debuted in the early 1900s) posits the body is gone as well. Otherwise, everyone who dies is "raptured". Which makes it an ongoing thing and introduces a 4th theory into the current main three.

The rapture theory has no support in the entire history of the Church until about the last 100 years, and even then only in a subset which is itself novel within the Protestant milieu until rather recently. It's novel even within the context of the Protestant milieu at large, historically speaking.

But after that Rapture there would be the Rupture and the Risen would become the Fallen. So sad.

Once again.....thanks government!!! You failed yet again.

After reading all the data published on the shooter I believe he was suffering from a traumatic brain injury. Apparently in 2009 he had a motorcycle accident. A lady pulled out in front of him and he slammed his Harley into her Buick. He complained of neck and head pain after that. It doesn't excuse his actions, but it explains the shooting. To me anyways.

Interesting, I've suffered head injuries, my father has suffered head injuries, several folks I know have suffered head injuries, yet none of us have shot up a church.

Okay, okay i'll live with a penal colony on a passing asteroid or something. It's more humane, blah blah blah.

That would be awful expensive to get them there ... look, we have a mostly useless string of islands in the north Pacific called the Aleutians ... surely one or two of those would work.

ETA: Semisopochnoi Island looks about perfect

Or cold blooded pulled the trigger on babies. This guy had a lot of issues that were once again brushed off.
IMO this issue in today's society are people don't want to get involved due to the stigma of being called a racist (Berdoo shooting) or ostracized from the community once you contact some LE agency.

Can't disagree with you at all. Blame our mental health system for a lot, too, but the process of getting someone crazy committed involuntarily is so arduous. Thanks ACLU! Until we make society so hostile to the dangerously mentally ill, or make it so even they realize they won't be successful (an armed society and all that), these evil acts will continue to happen. Keep calm and carry daily.
