nothing can be done, actually. Those in power arent asking how to stop it because they dont intend to.

At least this time it's being said about Christians being harmed (so they may actually appreciate it, especially the kind who would go to Osteen's church) and not elementary kids being shredded to pieces.

If a mega church doesn't already have enough thoughts and prayers to prevent shootings, we're doomed.

Maybe they sold them to Yahweh in exchange for financial gain, as per their prosperity gospel doctrine.

I'm sure he'll just pass it off as "an agent of Satan wanted to do me in, but I have God on my side!" or "God was testing me and the faith of my followers!"

Literally the least important part of this story. Shooters or shootings should not occur in any area, period.

A quick google search brought me to Gun Violence Archive and listed that since January 1st of this year, the US has had 42 mass shootings. Todays what, February 10th? So thats one per day?

https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting

And the GOP candidate is going to speak at the NRA convention and has announced that he plans to undo gun legislation passed by Biden. Lets focus on the one shooting a day thing. Shame we cant handle the problem the way Australia did after Port Arthur.

Veritable asshole. Preaches his idiotic gospel to impressionable sheep whilst practicing none of it. There was some weather disaster years ago that had displaced a number of people, and rather than opening his doors and helping these people who'd come to his church, you know, like their jesus would've done, he kept them out. Bitch.

"Weird how this keeps happening" when you have, at best, two cases of a trans person going on a shooting spree.

What's "weird" is that all these recent shootings get immediately called as having been committed by a trans individual purely to "prove" an issue with all trans people.

"Treat these people with compassion" my ass.

They brought a child with them to the shooting. That takes fucked up to a whole new level.

Investigators are trying to sort out whether she was politically motivated or a disturbed individual

My money's on both.

74% of them are found to have right wing ideology. 24% are apolitical and I suspect this incident would fall under that.

Shooter may have been pro-Palestine, and took a child with them to the shooting with her (the child was injured in the event, and it doesn't note whether it was the shooter or the police that hit the child... take that how you will).

https://abcnews.go.com/US/lakewood-church-shooting-motive-unknown-pro-palestinian-message/story?id=107158963

From comments, TIL that evangelicals and their churches are generally pro-israel. Which likely has something to do with the motivation, IF the shooter was indeed pro-Palestine.
