  1. This dumb ass anchor just HAD to mention mosques and Synagogues.
    Liberal moron.

    WE DONT CARE!

  2. No one has been able to explain to me why…just why we can't work on both issues at the same time, mental health AND gun control laws. What's the problem? We're supposed to be at the top of the evolution chain…ya know…with a multi-faceted working brain. Jeez.

  3. Churches are NO LONGER a safe place anymore.. Keep security in mind sheeple…AND the ass clown reporter "plugging" AR assault" rifles is poor in the least….

  4. The embodied by the coverage and the passing of blame to guns or authorities

  5. Finally, the Trump Gun Crazies are killing their own white mothers………………

  6. All these shootings breaking out all over this whole wide world, left to right ❗❗❗❗ why nobody can't even answer this : why does my name gets so much hate, criticism and yet other so call folks really do not know me real well in person ❗❗❗🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨😒😒😒😒😒😒 This is going to be a documentary coming real soon ❗❗ The series title : beautiful Christine chastity lampkin name being hated is a damn shame ❗❗❗😜😜😜😜. It's bad enough still in this world ,I get hated for being a brown skin women, but for my name to get hated as well just really proves how other folks r so real sick in their so call heads😜😜😜😜😜😜 meaning stone crazy 😜😜😜❗

  7. It's all that Rapp music 🎶 🎵

  8. Only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun. You will not take away the bad guys gun, no matter how you try.

  9. "“Why would a guy who’s been around for a while suddenly decide he would go to a supper and kill somebody?” said the Rev. Doug Carpenter, St. Stephen's pastor for three decades before he retired in 2005. “It doesn’t make sense.”"

    Which is why this will continue. Denial about the obvious cause – GUNS – not some 70 year old. Not mental problems. Not drugs. Not race hatred.

    Just GUNS. You ignorant man of 'god', maybe you should start understanding – maybe the problem is your ignorance and refusal to learn.

    Your religion is just an extension of your politics and neither one will ever teach your ignorant ass why three elderly people are dead from gun violence. You will stay that way BY CHOICE because you're a coward priest not a hero.

    That bit about the wife whispering to her husband while he died? They had to prop up the story with somethimg… only three were shot and they were all old.

    A man has to make a living somehow.

  10. This absolute madness complete craziness

  11. How many were murdered this time please?

  12. Ah yes the Heathsville Schism is finally spilling over.

  13. So tired of hearing this

  14. Who, excluding all gun-punks, can debunk the fact that guns make killing sooooooooooooo easy. Without a gun, this 71 year old gun-punk would not have been able to kill 3 people, dare I say not even one.

  15. Since the lawmakers and their families are well-protected and are not in any danger nothing will be done, nothing will change, and the blood bath will continue…

  16. He was driven by hate, racism, the man refuses to even say those words.

  17. Too many doors, one door in, one door out. Also have to arm the pastors. And don't have pot lucks.

  20. According to one of our 'leaders', more prayer is the answer. Were these devout people not diligent enough in praising the Lord?

  21. BRING TRUMP BACK WHERE HE BELONGS. IF THIS SO-CALLED LAWMAN WAS IN DURING THE LAST ELECTION MAYBE HE COULD HAVE ARRESTED SOME PEOPLE FOR WHAT WENT ON

  22. Please have mercy on me humanity, I am desperate.

  23. I remember a Lutheran church in the boonies of Maine where parishioners we're killed by poisoned coffee.

  24. Any reports on the "mass shootings" in the inner cities every day??? Those people don't mean as much to these "news" organizations. It's only news when it's part of a certain agenda

  25. This guy was a f b I agent. Awful wimpy sounding. You seem to have missed a lot of other shootings when the shooter was different races. Pushing gun agenda, are you. He probably would have used a knife if you take guns and then other people will not have a weapon to stop it. Good luck taking criminals guns. Did you guys vote for B I D E N. BETTING YOU DID. If everyone in there had guns it would not have happened more than likely. How many times did you say mass? Oh, how hard you are pushing the gun grab. Hey, Why are judges letting criminals off so easy. White male. I think some people and cops were shot by people of color lately, where are those stories, hmmm? Mass mass mass mass mass, get that in as many times as you can. Was that guy even in the F B I ?

  26. HOW MANY PEOPLE GOT HURT?

  27. What a bunch of bull crap. Brad Garrett is left winger

  28. Goverment 5g mind control.

  29. You can take away Grampa’s car keys but you can’t take away his gun.

  30. We live closely to this area and know people that have lived there their entire lives. It wasn’t and never is racial and everyone I mean all colors carry a weapon. People can argue for days on either side of the gun issue but let us not falsify and add to the issues in our lives with anything racial.

  31. Thank you to the reporter she said that is a real tight community and everyone knows everybody they were even having a pot luck gathering so how can this be about race doesn't make sense

  32. According to statistics, over 100,000 people die every day. What if you were one of them? No one is guaranteed another day on this Earth. Are you 100% sure that you would have a home in heaven? What are you basing that on?
    The Bible says that we are all sinners. When God created Adam and Eve, He made them perfect without sin, but they chose to disobey God and became sinful in nature. This sin nature was passed down to all humanity.

    Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

    Our sin separates us from God.

    Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
    1John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

    A holy, righteous God cannot allow sin into heaven. Sin must be paid for and God's price for sin is death, not just a physical death, but death in hell in a lake of fire.

    Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

    In the Old Testament times, when man sinned, God required them to kill a perfect, spotless lamb and to sprinkle its blood on the altar as a sacrifice for their sins. Jesus Christ, God's Son became that perfect, spotless Lamb that was sacrificed for the sins of the whole world. It was His blood that satisfied the just demands of a holy God. God will not accept anything else.

    John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

    Jesus loved us so much He WILLINGLY came and allowed wicked men to spit on Him, mock Him and beat Him until He was unrecognizable. They stripped him naked, thrust a crown of thorns on His head and drove nails into His hands and feet. He hung in agony for hours bleeding. He died in our place so that we could be saved from going to hell. There is no greater love than that!

    John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    The good news is that Jesus didn't stay dead in the grave. He came back to life 3 days later just like He said He would. And that proved that He was God! No one else could do that.

    Matthew 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
    6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

    Jesus did all this because He wants to give you the free gift of eternal life in heaven with Him!
    You cannot do anything to earn your own way into Heaven. You can't work for it, be baptized for it, go to church for it or try to be good enough for it. It is a free gift that God is offering to anyone who will simply receive it by faith. None of us deserve His grace, but He gives it freely to all.

    Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
    Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
    9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.

    God said there is only one way to get to heaven, but it is not hard. You must admit you are a sinner deserving of hell. You must believe that Jesus paid for your sin with His own blood on the cross, was buried and 3 days later rose from the dead.

    Romans 10:9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
    13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

    Let me warn you though, that if you reject God's sacrifice for you, you are already condemned and when you die, you will suffer the torment of burning in hell for eternity in a lake of fire where you will be forever separated from God and all that is loving and good.
    John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
    Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

    Please don't wait. Don't take the risk of putting it off until another day, repent, turn to Christ NOW because you aren't guaranteed to live another day on this Earth. Believe God's Word, ask Him to save you and He will. You can be transformed right now from a hell-bound sinner to a child of God in an instant!

  33. Ashli Babbitt was killed by Leftist Satanic Washington DC Kabal of Hell Police, who didn't get in one lick of trouble.
    Death to evildoers,
    Lord 🙏 Jesus Christ,
    have mercy on us, 🇺🇲☦️!

  34. Why do they always have to make shootings about race how do you know he just lost it because of the way the economy is right now people are struggling and just can't deal with it anymore and it doesn't matter what kind of gun they used it's the person pulling the trigger that kill those people get rid of biden so things can get better and people aren't stressing out and please FBI agents investigating they will cover up everything not to be trusted sorry

  35. Episcopal are a very, very, happy, 🏳️‍🌈 Church,
