Chapel Hill killings


Low Levelled

Recommended Posts

I'm not going to glorify it with more attention than this deserves. The idea of these shootings happening is just sick and needs to stop, and I assure you I would feel the same regardless of the race, ethnicity, religion, etc. etc. of the victim(s)/shooter(s).

Did religion play a factor?

It's looking like religion was a factor, yes.

 

 

"Mr. Hicks, appeared to have a deep dislike of all religion. On his Facebook page, nearly all of his posts expressed support for atheism, criticism of Christian conservatives or both.

Last month, he posted a photo that said, 'Praying is pointless, useless, narcissistic, arrogant, and lazy; just like the imaginary god you pray to.'"

Pretty senseless and horrific stuff. Wonder how much attention this will garner.

99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me!

Where did this happen? My brief knowledge was my buddy saying "hear about the shooting over parking earlier? "

 

Though mentioned the shooter frequently threatened the victims with his holstered gun in the past

To me this whole thing says more about US gun laws than anything to do with Muslims/atheists/race relations. The affair was over a parking ticket (and not pre-planned) and by all accounts the perpetrator was known for his gun toting ways. Though maybe that's a distortion in the British press.
