Today was the day the largest church shooting in the history of the United States took place. Just in case you were wondering. Update!

I think that 27 number might well change, but it will definitely not be going down.

Courtesy of the Daily Beast:  

At least 20 people are dead after a gunman opened fire inside a Texas church on Sunday morning, officials say. The shooting occurred at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, approximately 30 miles from San Antonio, around 11:30 a.m. 

The shooter, who is believed to have acted alone, fled the church on foot and was killed by police, officials said. Two county commissioners said at least 20 people were dead; a police commissioner told the BBC that 27 had died. 

Whatever the final toll, it is already the deadliest shooting at a place of worship in modern American history, surpassing the nine killed at Emanuel AME Baptist Church in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015. 

At least six helicopters transported injured people to hospitals, the Dallas Morning News reported, and a two-year-old child is among the wounded.

Here is more from the New York Times:

Albert Gamez Jr., another Wilson County commissioner, told CNN that he was told by the police that the gunman was chased into the next county and was killed, but it was not clear whether the police shot him or he killed himself. 

Mr. Gamez said he was told by an emergency medical technician that 27 people were dead and 24 others were injured. 

We do not yet know much about this, but what we do know is that it is tragic, unnecessary, and ultimately preventable if only we wanted to take the steps to keep it from happening again.

Update: Now we know why the Right Wing has not said much. It's probably a white guy.
If true we need to quickly expand that travel ban.

No more white men allowed in this country dammit.

Update 2: Yep, white guy. 
Update 3: From the killer's Instagram page.

 The gunman was also dressed in all black and wearing a bullet proof vest.

      What's sad is there are so many mass shootings that we have begun to create categories for them like "church shootings", "school shootings", etc. This craziness has to stop.

      I guess those who think the 2nd Amendment is sacred feel that the thousands of lives lost each year to gun violence is a small price to pay for the right to bear arms. Sick.

    Your Thoughts And Prayers Aren’t Working: At Least 20 Killed In Sickening Church Mass Shooting

    To GOP politicians: When you repeatedly shed crocodile tears over mass shootings, then follow it up by refusing to do anything to prevent the next one, nobody hears you anymore.

    ...Fifty-eight in Las Vegas just last month. Forty-nine in Orlando last year. Thirty-two in Blacksburg in 2007. Twenty-six in Newtown in 2012. Fourteen in San Bernardino in 2015. Thirteen in Littleton in 1999. Twelve in Aurora in 2012.

    These are just a handful of high-profile mass shootings that have shocked the United States over the past two decades – but, unfortunately, it hasn’t shocked us into taking meaningful action to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

    Which is why on Sunday, in Sutherland Springs, Texas, this uniquely American bloodbath took the lives of more of our citizens – people who were attending a service at First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs.

    http://www.politicususa.com/2017/11/05/thoughts-prayers-working-20-killed-sickening-church-mass-shooting.html

    Trump will say how say how sad it is if he says anything at all. Republicans will send “thoughts and prayers” to the victims and their families, and then the violence will continue as nothing will be done. Because in Republican America, gun violence is a problem that they have no interest in solving.

      There was a 'another pistol packing' "As the suspected shooter left the church, a local resident used their own rifle to engage him, Martin said. The shooter then fled the church, while the citizen pursued him."
      "After a brief chase, law enforcement later found the suspect dead of a gunshot wound inside his vehicle. Authorities said they don't know if the wound was self-inflicted or the result of the resident who fired on the suspect, Martin said.
      The shooter was killed after a brief chase north into neighboring Guadalupe County, Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office spokesman Robert Murphy said earlier on Sunday."

      So, the "local resident" hears gunfire, grabs his penis extender, and steps outside and starts firing towards the church. Hope none of his missed shots went into the church and hit more people. Every hunter knows - identify your target, and make sure the background behind it is clear. Sounds like this "local resident" just wanted to play Rambo and fired indiscriminately and maybe got lucky and hit the guy.

    The findings are consistent with findings by experts who say that mass shooters and terrorists share one common trait: They are nearly all domestic abusers.

    “Time and time again, spasms of violence in public places have been followed by investigations into the attackers and suspects. Many of those probes have unearthed reports of violence or threatening behavior against women in their lives. While research has shown that domestic violence is not universally a factor preceding public attacks, it has cropped up often enough following high-profile incidents to constitute a disturbing, recognizable pattern,” said The Washington Post after the murder of Charlottesville, VA protester Heather Heyer.

    Paul Ryan Wants To Steal Your Healthcare And Raise Your Taxes In The Same Bill

    ...For those of you who thought that Republicans couldn’t possibly make their tax cuts for the rich legislation worse, the GOP has managed to outdo themselves by adding the potential repeal of Obamacare to the mix. Republicans are so worried about losing the House and Senate next year that they are trying to bundle everything that they haven’t been able to get done into one giant act of legislative evil.

      "When Republicans unveiled tax reform legislation on Thursday, discussion surrounding the bill centered on its potential impact on middle-class households and its apparent giveaway to the economic elite.

      But another proposed change ― featured way down on pages 427 and 428 of the 429-page draft bill ― is raising a red flag for advocates of the separation of church and state.

      The legislation proposes changes to the Johnson Amendment, a 63-year-old tax law that prohibits churches and other tax-exempt organizations from participating in political campaigns. Under the Republicans’ proposed bill, members of the clergy who endorse candidates from the pulpit would be legally protected."

      "Republicans slipped anti-abortion language into the draft of the tax reform bill they released on Thursday. The move is part of an effort by the Trump administration and House Republicans to define life as beginning at conception, with an eye to rolling back Roe v. Wade.

      Buried on page 93 of the 429-page tax proposal is a provision that would allow fetuses to be named as beneficiaries of college savings accounts known as 529 plans ― investment vehicles that come with a range of tax breaks.

      Pro-abortion rights advocates were quick to call out the language. “This is a back-door attempt to establish personhood from the moment of conception,” Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), co-chair of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus, said in a statement. “The tax code is no place to define what constitutes an ‘unborn child.’ What’s next, giving a Social Security number to a zygote?” "

      First of all one doesn't "preach" Atheism, it's a lack of belief rather than some sort of alternative religious doctrine, also Atheism is not about bashing religion, so he was rather misguided in his approach to Atheism, not really too much of a surprise after reading some of his writings, he seemed intellectually stunted, to put it kindly.

      All people, regardless of religion or lack thereof are capable of terrible acts.

      Every human is capable of killing. Every one of us. When emotion takes over our thinking, putting rational thought off-line, THAT is when one is most capable of murdering another human being.
      Lt. Joe Kenda (Homicide) said something very similar to that at the beginning of his true crime show that used to run years ago. He solved almost 400 murders before there was DNA testing and such. The man knew human nature, and it's ugly to say the least.

  38. You know the shooter is white.

    Because he's described as "a man". Not a black man, a hispanic man, a muslim or a terrorist.

    Trump (once again) calls this "evil", not domestic terrorism. So you know he's white.

    Give it a few hours and there will be the normal excuses about his mental state, blah blah blah.

    Republicans will send hopes and prayers and say this is not the time to talk about gun control.

    And so it goes.

  39. That's the kind of gun you use to hunt deer? Bear? Wild boar?

    You need that big of a magazine in case the first 19 bullets don't kill whatever?

    What kind of a lame ass, shit for brains loser kind of hunter needs that kind of overkill?

    Oh, that's right. These weapons aren't for subsistence hunting (which should be the only legal kind there is: eat what you kill). These weapons are for killing PEOPLE.

    Enough with the thought(lessness) and prayers (that you'll be re-elected.) Time to fish or cut bait. Neither of which involves using a fire arm.

    There are plenty of countries that have strict regulations for fire arms, yet still allow what we would consider "2nd amendment rights". Their citizens have hunting rifles, not hand guns or what amount to machine guns with a few modifications. None of them have magazines that can hold enough ammo to kill a platoon ..... or a church full of people.

    We need to get SANE.

    Unfortunately that will never happen with the INSANE asylum currently in power in Congress and the White House.

    So we need to think what we can do to really protest the shit for brains that are running this country? I really don't think walking the streets for a day in brightly colored knitted hats is going to do it.

    Are we really so powerless against these Fascist Oligarchs?

      NO WE ARE NOT!!!

      Google "October Revolution 1789".

      Amazing what a number of fed-up, pushed to the brink women can really do. And these ladies did way more than march about wearing knitted pussy caps and carrying signs; they scared the shit out of the establishment/monarchy state that threatened the existence of their families and made CHANGE HAPPEN.

    Story of the guy who chased the shooter down: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/breakingnews/an-unlikely-hero-describes-gun-battle-and-95-mph-chase-with-texas-shooting-suspect/ar-AAuuwvr?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp

    Driving 95 MPH and weaving thru traffic, talking on a cell phone while driving, a guy in the passenger seat with a loaded rifle ready to shoot out the window at the fleeing suspect - Oh yeah ! That's REAL safe ! Untrained pursuit and a miracle he didn't kill an innocent bystander along the way.

      Plus the guy just admitted publicly that he committed numerous traffic violations. Think he'll be ticketed ?
