Gunman Opens Fire In Alabama Episcopal Church Leaving Three Dead
What is going on with people????
:(.. guns
“They were alive. And the next minute, they weren’t.”
Keep those guns coming America, they are working so well at keeping gun crime down……..
Obviously no good guys with guns anywhere to be found…🤪🤪🤪
Foreigner loves using people’s death for a narrative
@Matthew G yeah that’s right, in opposition to it. Unlike you I don’t support the murder of schoolchildren….
@Matthew G just pointing out the facts, Einstein.
@Matthew G You mean the “narrative” of preventable gun deaths? So, you think when people are gunned down in cold blood it shouldn’t be discussed, that says a lot about you……..
@Greg Orchard your original comment has nothing to do with prevention,
& I don’t support killing ignorant foreigner
Mass shootings in schools, clubs, churches….what do all these things have in common? America and guns.
wow what a country
#anotherlawabidingcitizen KILLS MURDERS #lawabidingcitizens BUT YOU LOVE YOUR ARMS N TO B ARMED
Thats ignorant & disingenuous to called a Literal Mass shooter a Law Abiding Citizens
Clearly you don’t like the People’s Right to Bear Arms
So, where was God? …was he on vacation?
It’s a white guy, so first thing they do is post his mug shot… That would take them days otherwise.
America 👍🏻👍🏻🎉🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hey all you CROSS LOVERS. The Christ wasn’t carrying that to pay for your ignorance! Corrupt governance then made Him carry their version of the ELECTRIC CHAIR. The real TRUTH IS THAT THE CROSS IS NOT HOLY AT ALL. YOU PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LIED TO. JUST KEEP PAYING TAXES TO A DEAD MAN OK SMARTIES!? WHEN YOU ENTER CHURCH WITH A CROSS ON IT, SAY HI TO DEATH ☠️.
My prayers and condolences to the families.There is no safe place on earth. Jesus Christ himself is the only safe place. Lord Jesus Christ have mercy.
Pure hate not gun violence
so sad that our country is so violent and so filled with hatred. What are we going to do ?
take guns off the people hands
He looks very mentally stable
You won’t here a peep out of senator gomer for the gun violence in his own state.
Increase in violence, vaccine might have a side effect that causes behavioral problems.
Many drugs do nowadays
What a coward!
I don’t think these people realize how much crime happens in religious communities 😒 there normally hidden behind closed doors!!!
even the house of god isn’t safe.
I suggest when interviewed to not smile when you say your sad.
So many prayers in the comment section lol. This is your god at work people!
THE FBI EMPLOYEES DID IT IN MY DREAM LAST NITE
YEAAH ! YEAAAH ! YEAAAH !
Everybody is ” SADDENED ” by the poor old folks dying ?
What are you gonna do about the problem of gun massacres ?
Maybe he wasn’t getting answers from god.in there
AMERICA CLEAN UP ALL MUSIC, TV RADEOS, MEDIA, MOVIES, NEWS ETC. TURN BACK TO GOD THE BIBLE AND THE NEXTED GENERATION WILL BE A LOT BETTER GOD THE BIBLE IS HOW HE REALLY TALKS TO YOU IT THE INSTRUCTION BOOK OF LIFE; IT WILL CHANGE US FOR THE BETTER REMMENBER DO NOT ADD OR TAKE AWAY FROM WHAT GOD HIMSELF WROTE DOWN FOR US TO READ….(IN THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD JESUS CHRIST) …. AND THATS THE REST OF THE STORY….THE BEGINING AND THE END….
Oh what a shocker with all these gun shootings as democrats are desperate for gun laws to be passed lmao
Government has to stop being friends with murders. And remember this behavior was voted for by Voters who didn’t like Trump tweets.
The Holy Bible tells us of perilous times people 2 Timothy chapter 3. Matthew chapter 24. The word of God is real and true. Things will only get worse especially for those who don’t know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. We are living in the last days. Please turn from sin and turn to God.
It just shows you are not safe anywhere you can’t go shopping you cannot go to church you cannot go to the hospital you can’t go to school they have to do something there’s a lot of mental illness or maybe demonic possession I don’t know which one
more guns will solve the problem
If god can’t protect you at church then you’re praying to the wrong god.
Chariot wants justice ⚖Universal judgment and justice death and transformation ⚖union ⚖22 1010 ⚖✨justice 🌙
Guns are not the problem.People are the problem. Our country has regressed from what it used to be. Too many liberal policies in place, thanks to Democrats and RINOS.
1:40 Why are you grinning as you speak about something “really sad” and horrendous…??? I think THAT is really sad and terrifying
Just thought the same
Shocking this
She could have been nervous simile
A man kills 3 people yet it’s a girl that has nervous simile that’s the issue and find horrendous ? Shows the morality of your kind
So many shooting under Biden!
sounds like he may have a terminal illness, alone and hated seeing others happy.
Condolences to the victims and their families. Maybe this nutball was given selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors to cause this atrocity.
I support the NRA and the right to bear arms!
Danm! when is your God coming off vacation?
Satan’s days are numbered and he knows this. That’s why this is all happening.
Going anywhere is pot luck nowadays. Is your gun ownership more important than saving lives? This happened in a church in the bible belt. What would Jesus say? Probably get rid of guns dummy. Do you need more evidence.
Arm the priests !
Another mass shooting in a church are we surprised any more no gun control laws my condolences goes out to the families. NRA controls the Republicans party they give money too
Ohh
No gun control laws America is no longer the country we want it to be. America has become so violent other countries use to look at a America as the beacon of hope and opportunity look what the America we love is becoming what going to happen to our children and grandchildren what about there future.
That’s why we must vote to protect our Democracy so the next generation can have a better life. Republicans do not care about Democracy they want America to become a fascist country where the government control our lives We as Americans must stand together and vote vote to keep our Democracy We the people instead of we the government the time is now
Peopl
I’m lost for words why does people do this for 3 seconds on a problem the people behind the guns the problem
News Flash – Trumps Lawyer John Eastman admits guilt
Trump willfully mounted the insurrection and violate conspiracy statute 18 U.S.C. § 371 of the criminal code. Trump also stole secret documents from the White House.
Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to arrest Trump and his leadership team!
Steve Bannon Arrested, Guilty and Indicted! All appeals denied by courts and his trial starts in July 2022.
Proud Boys Leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio is arrested for seditious conspiracy
Proud Boys – Pezzola arrested for seditious conspiracy
Proud Boys – Ethan Nordean, of Seattle, arrested for seditious conspiracy
Proud Boys – Joe Biggs, of the Daytona Beach area arrested for seditious conspiracy
Proud Boys – Zachary Rehl, of Philadelphia arrested for seditious conspiracy
Peter Navarrow Arrested, Guilty and Indicted! Trial date 11/17/2022
Mark Meadows Guilty and Contempt
Dan Scavino Guilty and Contempt
Civil Contempt For Trump Is Pending
Civil lawsuits For Trump Are Pending
Jail Time For Trump Is Coming: he stole white house documents and gifts to America from foreign officials. oh and he is the insurrection leader
Loudermilk is a Trumpist Insurgent. He lead Trumpists into the Capital and then denied it.
Now you know what the future with Trumpism will continue to be like !! More mass shooting will happen if DOJ Garland doesnt arrest all top Trumpists.
No person is above the law! Listen to former DOJ Eric Holder, you can and need to prosecute Trump.
since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos and mass shootings. Put an end to the evil Trumpist Republicans and support the good Republicans and good democrats.
MAGA Trumpists are ramping up their war machine to lie about their insurrection! Dont believe the lies!
.
We need to support a federal law mandating prison time for each lie told by an elected official.
.
More Very Disturbing Trends –
1 Law enforcement has NO OBLIGATION TO HELP ANYONE…that is what their Union will fight for during investigations and trials.
2 Law enforcement cant be prosecuted for Not doing their jobs
3 Law enforcement can legally lie unless they are under oath at that moment
4 The District Attorney will side with the cops almost always
5 Law enforcement has qualified immunity, which makes it very difficult to prosecute them
Texas Shooting Coverup …..over 18 armed evil trumpist c o p s had over 11,000 live rounds of ammo and they waited. and waited…..while people were being killed. it took the border patrol to take out the shooter…. how sad is that?
nothing will happen to these evil trumpist people unless the locals keep up the pressure and the cops and politicians involved leave!

Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.
Proverbs 10:9, NI
..
Father protect your children, send down your angels. Psalm 91 thank you Father in Jesus’ name amen 🙏
Pray for the family this needs to end
Its unfortunate the “wheat”, has to attend church with the “tares” before God separated them out in the end. I hope and pray all the victims families are comforted and strengthen during this time of grief and pain 😢 💔 🙏
The only answer is for the altar boys to carry guns.
I have been to that church, that church is filled with crazies
Every fu**in week man. this is crazy
Lord have mercy.
Who cares? St Stephen doesn’t care. Neither does your “sky jesus”. Your God hates the fact that you make believe, god-fearing, ignorant bigots whine incessantly about others being “human” and “american”, but not. Old folk who found Jesus after a life of racial, religious and sexual bigotry, good riddance! Yes I said that, waiting for the lightning strike.
Thank you the heroes.I say again, thanks to the good people as our heroes. Prayers for healing for the families that go through this. Those in jail ,stay in jail if you don’t want help.
“exactly 7 years ago..” that sounds like someone made plans, that’s not an ironic situation with how crazy people are getting these days.
All must you People understand This This country Has one and only one President…..Satan Biden.and all his corrupted Crooks.hipocrits.circle…Period
When Satan is the Preident this Happens over and over
MORE GUNS IS *NOT* THE ANSWER! 💙
America should pay attention to its internal security.
Life is short Jesus is eternal life forever
Are we going to blame the Republicans for this too? He didn’t have an AK-15, he’s not under 21. So who’s to blame? Biden? Trump? Gun makers? NRA? No! The gunman is to blame and Satan is the accuser. So stick it democrats and liberals who blame Trump, Bush, NRA etc.
Incidents like this are why I got permission from my church to carry concealed in the building and on the property. I won’t be a victim – not at home, not on the street, and definitely not at church.
Well since the page turned from black to white, let’s see how this play out. #notonlyinSc
There has to be 4 shot to be considered a mass shooting so this is just another typical day in America.
Americans will blame China and Mexico because blaming others is the American way.
Only Question I Have is WHERE WAS GOD???
Look he’s Right!
First easy one ban AR-15 . Next get rid of the un-American pos GOP.
I had no idea going to church was so dangerous, thank god I never bothered.
Just another calm day in America…..
Shooters gonna shoot
Sharks machines Utah sharks machines Utah sharks machines Utah sharks machines Utah sharks machines Utah sharks machines Utah sharks machines Utah sharks machines
When the police chief initially acknowledged the bravery of the officers on the scene and then we heard that an unarmed member of the congregation subdued the gunman, well another argument for more good guys with guns was put to rest.
So let me guess Republicans, the doors of churches now need to be hardened and we need one entranceway in and out of churches with armed guards? Churches will be the next schools along with grocery stores for those armed by Republicans with cheap and easy to access military weapons of mass murder
What in the world!! All this gun violence is crazy.
Was the hero the rector of the church?
Everything is bulsh!t herre
Time to harden churches because they’re “soft targets”, along with schools, shopping malls, supermarkets, movie theaters, and outdoor music venues.
Murdered at a pot luck dinner.
He looks insane!
Safe zone…sitting ducks.
Wtf 🤬
RACIST BIKERS
This is a shame, the way of the world with people satanic sin.
Mentalcase.
My daughter lived there and went there and knew 2 of the victims
My condolences. All lives have meaning.
Another sacrifice for the republican party
This is terrible, but Alabama doesn’t enforce stricter gun control laws…which means…more random acts of gun violence…at a church of all places.
Wtf!!!!!!
Yet another shooting…. church, school, hospital, grocery….if you Republicans had conscience…. all the deaths in America could have been avoided
no wonder we are 128 on the list of safest countries. Can’t wait to move out of the USA
Seriously, Episcopalians are some of the best of us. 💔🙏🏻
❤ Rest in peace.
Healing to the survivors.
Russia if you are listen
Some say this is sad,and some say iiI give them more Guns,
U cant even go church now
Pointless, tragic deaths. Remember too, those who survived are severely traumatised. So they are all victims. From Australia, you have my deepest sympathy. I watch the USA’s increasing gun violence in shock, horror and confusion. Why can’t anyone do anything about it? When will it be enough to bring about sensible gun control? You can do it. We did. Please stop this..😪
