A weak rejoinder.

Rather, the shooter never would have gotten drunk if the beer cans had a gun.

Breaking news: Active shooter at Planned Parenthood near Colorado Springs.

Second mass shooting in Colorado Springs in a month. It’s not the guns!

The suspect surrendered, now in custody, police are sweeping the building with a bomb control robot.

Wesley Lowery of the Washington Post says that the Colorado FOP, a congressman, and an anonymous source with local law enforcement have confirmed to him one dead police officer, possibly one dead civilian.

Suspect cooperating and answering all questions.

Police confirm 3 dead. 1 police officer responding, 2 civilians.

Don’t worry, it’s not terrorism. He’s just a lone wolf.

Assuming he’s white, if not, then it’s terrorism.

White guy cop killer: taken alive.

Black guy acts in any way threatening, even theoretically: empty a clip into him.

Let’s not forget the planned parenthood angle, too. This murderer is going to be called a hero in some quarters.

Obviously a result of our lax immigration policies towards Syrian refugees.

I just wish moderate Christians would do something about the extremist Christian terrorists.

[TheWombat]

Of course, it’s also possible he’s some Unabomber-type crazy mountain man; this is the West, after all, and the description of the suspect seems to fit that mold too. Or maybe both–crazy hermit mountain man with an anti-abortion agenda.

Some sort of social media campaign holding a small sign with a hashtag.

How prevalent are these Christian extremists? Do they have broad support? Or are they marginal forces? Finally, do these incidents suggest deep rooted problems within Christianity?

There are reasons to be concerned about immigration, and there reasons to take the challenge of integrating tens of thousands of alien peoples very seriously. It remains a separate issue though.

Of course he was crazy! Probably misunderstood! The white ones always are sadly.

I know of some other crazy religious dudes with guns who live in mountains. The GOP loves to call them terrorists.

That’s true–white, middle-America killers are maladjusted, mentally disturbed, and products of unique, and very personal, flaws, while everyone else is representative of an entire culture that hates freedom. I saw it on Fox.
