Well, I absolutely loathe that man and a lot that his "church" seems to represent - but I sincerely hope everyone is OK. Although Abbott saying something like "Places of worship should be sacred" meaning safe and free from this kind of crap sure rings badly. EVERYWHERE needs to be that kind of sacred.

Abbott is a complete twatwaffle. SCHOOLS should be sacred, MALLS should be sacred, Health care institutions should be sacred. And so on. Maybe people who owned other humans and would be bewildered by cars and electricity did not know everything in perpetuity 200+ years ago |

The video is actual video from what appears to be inside the church. There is no info in the video linked. Just the shots in the background. Nothing about the victims. |

Osteen and his church prey on the poor and desperate and take money they can ill afford to give. Awful that they would be further victimized by someone with a gun. Perhaps Ted Cruz will suggest that they need to have only one door to prevent these kinds of things from happening in the future. |

I hope everyone is okay. Don’t give 2 flips about Osteen. Waiting for all the stories about how church members need to be armed. But don’t worry, they’d be good guys with guns. God and guns joined hand in hand, welcome to Texas y’all.

What the everloving hell is going on when shooters enter spaces with a small child. We need mental health and gun control now. |

No worries because per Osteen, "God is in control."

That poor child! I am not a fan of Joel Osteen. Frankly he gives me the creeps. He was smiling as he spoke at the press conference. He gives off false profit vibes. But my heart goes out to that child, to the other innocent adult who was shot and to anyone who was at that church today.

Why would the shooter take a child to shoot up a place? If it's true that the gun was an Ar15 and the intent was to harm a lot people, she certainly didn't practice with it at all. It's being reported Free Palestine was written on the gun. Did the church ever preach on the war?
This doesn't make sense, but it never does

Meanwhile, my ultra conservative brother wants to paint the shooter as transgender....as if that would make the person commit a mass shooting.

She was right the first time. He's all about the profit. |

One of the charges was illegal possession of firearms, and she was still allowed to purchase legally. I’ve also seen a report that she has a history of mental illness, with police involvement, but not specifics of the illness from a good source. I firmly believe that some people with mental illnesses should not have access to weapons, and I say that as someone with bipolar disorder. |
