i will never understand the thought process of legally carrying a firearm and leaving it in your vehicle. The climate of society is too unstable, the world is a cruel place to live.

I can see it. I have a hard time taking a firearm into the Lord's house. I'm torn on it though.

I'd like to know why the FBI is investigating possible civil rights violations. Are they saying he may have some civil rights violations committed against him for a motive?

I used to feel torn, but the way people have gotten I have no problems anymore. We always have someone carrying at ours.

This is actually something worth studying. Can the media selectively cover crime so as to present a rascist narrative, which stirs resentment from white folk toward blacks?

There seems to be a growing sentiment, particularly from white males, that the mainstream media is slanting it's coverage. Such as hyper covering blacks being killed by whites (or cops) versus whites being targeted by blacks. Take this church versus the one in Charleston. No comparison.

And an armed citizen saved countless other lives

You think CNN wants to report that?

He should have shot him in both knees and pistol whipped him while they were waiting on the ambulance....... make him feel it so to speak ..... maybe stomped on the knees several times too

NM, I found that he went and got his gun after he had subdued the guy. Dude is a badass and tackled him and made the guy shoot himself.

To be fair, the Charleston shooter made sure that everyone knew it was an attempt to start a race war. I haven't heard that kind of talk about this shooting. Had he gone off about killing them because they were white, there would be way more coverage about it.

Gunman was also born in Sudan FWIW. Probably hit a rough patch and bought into the left wing propaganda being spewed all over the place and lost hope. Now someone is dead. Whose statues we gonna knock over for this one?

Seems like a good idea to make this story about the confederacy...

All of our church greeters are armed, nicest people you ever met. But that guy would have never made it through the front door after killing someone in the parking lot. Sudanese muslim was the report i read, which in my mind would explain the reason for lack of coverage. Religious hate crimes are only news if the shooter is white, and southern baptist.

Where are people getting that he's a Muslim? It sounds like he's a mentally unstable Christian (at least investigating Christianity?).

Over the past year, police in the area encountered Samson on three separate occasions.

On June 27, Murfreesboro Police responded to the home of Samson's father after a 911 call reporting suicidal threats. His father told police that Samson had texted him shortly after midnight saying he had a gun to his head, according to a police report. Samson's father said he tried unsuccessfully to reach his son on the phone and did not know where he was.

Samson told police that he had attended the church, but not recently. Church members confirmed this, telling police he attended the church one to two years ago, but that they had not seen him in a while and did not immediately recognize him because the gunman was masked.

A few members of the congregation, who declined to give their names because they did not want to speak for the church beyond its official statement, recalled Samson fondly. They said they were surprised to hear he may have been involved in something like this. He was friendly to everyone, they said, including one of the people he allegedly shot.
