Anti-religious and zealots are almost oxymorons. Usually the only time someone who isn't religious gets passionate is when someone is a religious zealot is saying or doing something absurdly stupid in the name of said religion.

The only answer is better mental health care. Start prosecuting or at least persecuting the surviving the family members and people will suddenly start becoming much more vigilant of their family.

I always go back to Columbine. If me kid is running around in a trench coat making pipe bombs in MY basement and I fail to do anything about it...whose fault is that?

Has the news in louisiana reported on the condition of this guys last house in Phenix City? Fox 5 news in Atlanta just reported and it was beyond destroyed. Trash piled up everywhere, dead fish in the vents, feces, paint all over the walls, gas cans and chemicals everywhere.

Mobile. Scary shite. None of knew he had access to any guns. His wife who was divorcing him, (Nothing to do with stoke, but with his 20 year affair), had a restraining order but he keep forgetting and breaking into the house etc. She forgot about his gun collection too.

Press conference said the shooter had been traveling up and down the interstate. up and down the interstate since being in Lafayette probably means this guy spent some time in Baton Rouge.

Jindal is handing this pretty well I have to say. In the Press conference they have their stuff together, everyone from the Lafayette Chief, to Edmonson.

Why ? According to Cpt Jim Craft , ATF confirmed it was a legal firearm purchase in Phenix City, AL


Per Craft, weapon was a Hi-Point 40 cal. pistol , 15 shell casings collected at scene . 1 victim was shot four times.

Houser exited the side door to escape and saw police units pulling up, he got nervous and went back into theater firing 3 more times into audience before killing himself . Shooting was slow and methodical . He had 2 10-rd magazines

Investigators still trying to piece together timeline from when Houser arrived in Lafayette on July 2nd or 3rd. He travelled the I-10 corridor several times , and was at the Grand 16 theater on more than one occasion. He was met with several people about a job and other business opportunities specifically a 10 minute oil change. Lots of evidence is still being processed

These reporters asking questions to Jindal during the presser are fricken idiots

5 still hospitalized as 4 stable , 1 being critical possibly upgraded to stable

No police officers were on duty at Grand Thurs pm, they usually have officers on Fri and Sat nights due to larger crowds . 2 officers who responded in < 1 minute were nearby on patrol

SIAP

Someone has created a facebook group to organize a silent protest/shield in the event WBC shows up at a funeral. Encouraging silence and respect.

LINK

Over 9,000 have said they'd show up.

Yes it was legal, but would you feel horrible if a gun you sold to someone that is now deemed "mentally unstable" was responsible for killing 2 woman and injuring others?

I'm skeptical on if WBC will even show up. If they do, my hope is that the counter protests maintain their silence and respect. There doesn't need to be a circus outside of these funerals.
