Anyone else heard someone on CNN refer to the shooter as a Christian home grown

[malaise]

terrorist - he said if it walked like a duck it was a duck.

1. Christians are taking on the role muslims used to have.

This is the new narrative.

Muslims are still the threat for Europe.

Customized boogeymen for different audiences.

[darkangel218]

2. Nope, no mention of it yet.

[yyes]

3. No

So far I can't find anything connecting him to a church of faith
or if he was religious

[greymattermom]

4. or did he belong to an organization

where people get together to pray. Wouldn't want one of those in the neighborhood.

[Hoppy]

5. Me neither. It proves they can't think if they believe praying will change anything.

We got enough non-thinking sheeple in my neighborhood.

9. Yep, it's magical thinking, a form of escapism and the ultimate rationalization.

For many, it becomes an obsessive compulsive disorder and it cuts across all religions. ... but the god-word often gets a free pass, so seldom is it called out for what it is for some people.

[Cyrano]

6. No, but for what it's worth,

Colorado Springs is a "Jesus-ville" town. We can suspect that the shooter is a fundie, but best to reserve judgement for now.

7. "bullet-riddled mass terror" Denver Post

This is the main sentence on the current (Sat. morning) Denver Post online:

"A gunman killed three people, including a veteran police officer, at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs Friday, the latest act of bullet-riddled mass terror to strike a state achingly familiar with it."

I am glad to see them actually calling a spade a spade.

[malaise]

10. Yep looks like folks are finally fed up

and calling them out

[Snotcicles]

8. I did notice, they got out early and often, on his use of a "Long Gun", though. nt
