Colo. church gunman 'hated Christians'
By JUDITH KOHLER, Associated Press Writer
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The deadly shooting sprees at a mega-church and a missionary training school were believed to have been carried out by the same person — a 24-year-old suburban Denver man who "hated Christians," a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
There are so many things disturbing about this story it is hard to know where to begin. The sheer senseless acts of violence are off the scale but even that doesn’t come close to touching the almost surreal feel of the entire thing.
You have such an amount of self-loathing that you simply grab a gun and shoot up a mall, a school and now a church or 2? I worry so much less about global warming then I do about this. When did this insane behavior become all the “rage”? It seems the world is just crammed full with angry young men with guns.
And yet here is the oddest of things about this Church shooting. The dude was shoot and killed by an armed security guard at the church? You need armed security at a church; ok clearly in this case you did, but still… I worked in places that actually had legitimate reasons for security, but we didn’t give them guns. A sad,sad state of affairs.
