Here's the picture of the Bastard; Church shooting suspect identified as Devin Kelley, of New Braunfels, a suburb of San Antonio, TX

 

[enlytend]

26 yr old married white male, former Air Force, taught at a summer bible school.

There was one warning:

"A week before he committed the worst massacre at a place of worship in American history, Kelley posted a photo of an assault rifle to Facebook with the caption: “She's a bad bitch.”"

Yup. Killed 25 people in just a few seconds.

Here is his FB page that contained a quote from Mark Twain about not fearing death. “I do not fear death,” it read. “I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”

I wonder if those two are his kids?

World War 3: US will have to INVADE North Korea to purge Pyongyang of nukes, generals warn

AMERICA would have to invade North Korea in order to seize its nuclear weapons arsenal, Pentagon officials have warned.

In a letter believed to have been written by the vice director of the Pentagon’s Joint Staff, defence experts raised the prospect of war in the Korean peninsula as the only viable solution to ending the threat from Pyongyang.

The memo was written in response to a request from two Congress members asking for "expected casualty assessments in a conflict with North Korea", the Washington Post reported.

It said the only way of definitely finding Kim's weapons bases was by ground invasion.

Such an action would almost certainly inspire a catastrophic response from the dictator, who is known to also be harbouring a stockpile chemical and biological weapons.

A shooting in a Walmart earlier in the week in Colorado, My state takes the deadliest mass shooting in Texas history, "That in a place of worship" , This is an on going weekly event -events throughout the USA, It isn't the guns shooting people, The cars running over people in crowds, It is what has become a Godless society IMO.

The Bastard was apparently court-martialed and dishonorably discharged in May 2014.

Has nothing to do with anything

this killer:
"taught at a summer bible school."

and then cars running over people in the name of God.

I think we would be a better off society if it was one of reason, not imaginary type stuff.

Trump started to talk about the first lady in Japan and CNN left the feed. Fox still showing it now.

I have watched the growth of prison populations. It’s a profitable business unfortunately, just like the phony war on drugs. Radical problems require radical solutions. Regressive type punishments as those occuring in 19th century and back in time for criminals might have actually been a deterent for some. Reinventing the violent criminal justice system of punsihment seems like a good idea. Today’s offenders are being sentenced to a life of watching TV, being fed by taxpayers 3 meals daily and pumping iron, and that is hardly punishment. Hard labor would not be cruel and unusual punishment. But such an unpopular idea would never occur with the policitically correct nature of the populace of such ideas.

That's a tricky one. I've posted before I think we're too light on criminals. So there's the punishment part, there is also a rehabilitation part. Most people that go to prison are coming back out. Do you want them to come back out and lead a good life or commit more crime? They always get the 3 meals. What about schooling in prison? Are you for or against that? Knowing they have a better chance in society with an education.

Let me guess, the CNN talking heads and speculators switched to an “expert panel” on gun control. Lol.

Sen. Rand Paul’s injuries far more severe than initially thought

I will admit I had not heard about this...from the article:

"“He’s pretty much the opposite of Rand Paul in every way,”"

A clear case of opposites not attracting...dude (attacker) was a pain doc...maybe he dipped into his medicine cabinet one time too many.

There should be a screening process of some sort with 2 lines. The first line If you are deemed eligible and rehabilitatable, you go to vocational training, reading, getting a GED, learning the shit your parents never taught you to becoming productive member of society. Serving out most of the judges original sentence. The second line for those that are violent offenders who are lost causes. They are damaged goods, a history of criminality, etc. Straight to hard physical labor camp forever. Giving them the death penalty is an easy way out.

I know this first hand from 2 example people I have known. The stupid part of those who serve time for some B.S. crime where nobody was hurt or injured and become convicted felons, we as a society make them are outcasted. No ability to get employment. So they become self employed, but with no ability to borrow money or get a jump start. Both examples made it. However, Many decide to return to the easy thing or not adapt, then get busted again. They should be sent to hard labor for two years, then reevaluated.

Maybe that's the problem, putting too many people in jail. The US has become a police prison state. It has more inmates than any other country on Earth and you think they are soft on crime ? Prison is more the problem than the solution.
US society is violent, it has a morbid fascination with violence, and violence breeds violence and maybe that's why there are so many shootings.
Throw the death penalty in the mix, that pretty much all developed countries have banned a long time ago. Human life is not sacrosanct and valued much less in the US, thus people are less inclined to respect it - and those people have easy access to weapons.
You can figure out the rest.

I said criminals. Examples from where I live. Somebody arrested for sex trafficking, arrested 99 times. Another, 24 year old shoots a police officer, arrested 40 times, 24 felonies. When I hear felony, I think serious, how is this person still walking the street. I'm not talking about catching somebody with weed and going to jail. But people who have shown they have no interest in following the laws of our society and arrested over and over again. Sometimes we are too soft, sometimes we put people in prison when we shouldn't and treatment would be a better option.

I was trying to find the stories on those 2 examples, those are 2 that I remember and found this, did not know:
