Maybe because I don't pray and want some solutions that are tangible. That we are all sinners stuff is irritating to me.

And I do not see how prayer is going to solve it. Been praying for 400 years. No wonder they are not connecting with the youth. No hope, just prayer.

I wish someone would tell these jack leg preachers to just shut the f--- up. I am not interested in praying. Time for praying is over. While we have been on our knees praying, this country's patriots have been kicking our butts. I have had enough. Time for action.

African Americans of greater St. Louis.

Can you imagine how empowered this must make Wilson feel? Anyone want to start a pool on how long before he indiscriminately murders again?
