          I saw the twin full size American flags on the back of the truck and I instantly pegged him as a MAGA nutter.

        Bro, the shooter’s truck has two American flags, and his house has a Trump/Vance campaign sign.

      My guess is the dude had some kind of a massive crash out after an argument with his wife.

      I come from white trash.

      I know how this tends to work.

      That being said: total guess, in the sense that I do not have any actual evidence to back up or corroborate this idea.

      I will though note that it is odd that… well, with Kirk’s shooter, we hear all about and from family members and roommates/partners, anyone related to the person… because everyone wants this info so as to attempt to create a narrative/motive, whether trying to do this objectively or in an obviously biased way.

      This guy?

      Maybe I’ve missed it but I’ve not seen or heard a single mention of any LE contacting his family or media outlets getting any statements from amybody he knew.

      But this also has not stopped a good chunk of right wing people from doing the most pathetically transparent motivated reasoning I’ve seen in a while.

      I shit you not, they’re saying he was against trump because he had his trump/pence sign hanging on his fence visible in proximity to a stop sign.
      Also, some people have pointed out that a “T Sanford” is a donor to the “BLUE ORIGIN LLC PAC”, which is obviously a democratic PAC, and not the lobbying group for the private space flight company Blue Origin LLC, who coincidentally has a Tommy Sanford as their sales director. Because people never have the same name.

    Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in a statement that her heart was breaking for the community. “Violence anywhere especially in a place of worship, is unacceptable,” she said.

    Oh, is that so?

    Governor Gretchen Whitmer pointedly declined to use the word “genocide” on a Sunday morning news show to describe the war in Gaza and the massive Palestinian civilian death toll as Israel tries to eliminate Hamas.

    …

    Michigan has one of the nation’s largest Arab-American and Muslim-American populations.

    “I’m watching this very closely and doing what I can to support all of these communities here in Michigan,” Whitmer said.

    Huh.

    So I guess it is acceptable, sometimes.

      Man, it’s crazy how not using the word genocide in April of 2024, not saying it wasn’t a genocide but simply not saying it was while also calling it terrible, is both clearly communicating that she supports killing Palestinians and also super timely and extremely relevant to an attack a year and a half later.

      Western liberals have always been like this.

      Western society is predicated on some people being more human than others (but, but my enlightenment values. ha)

      Christian institutions tied themselves into knots to morally justify the horrors of the colonial era and Atlantic slave trade. The conclusion they reached is some people are just more peopley than others. These people being Christians.

      Western attitudes towards human rights, egalitarianism etc are a direct extension of this era. Patting themselves on the back on being the chosen people and treating their own well while treating others like they’re the scum of the Earth.

    I know a lot of good Mormon people/friends and the ones I’m around are such wonderful people. My heart hurts for them and my thoughts are with their community during this time. How sad.

    Someone reported they were in the building right after the first call and mentioned there were 4 canvasses covering people and the cops said it would grow. So I suspect this is an early count before they get to the burned section.

      Mormons generally come in two flavors: wonderful people taken advantage of by a cult and absolute scum who utilize the cult to abuse others. So here’s hoping the shooter got some of the abusers.

      The more likely target is of course kids because of Sunday School.

    The impact spread quickly to neighboring communities, including the small city that shares a name with the township.

    “Although we are two separate governmental units, we are a very cohesive community,” said city of Grand Blanc Mayor John Creasey. “This sort of thing is painful for our entire community. I’m struggling to digest all that has happened, and my heart goes out to all of the affected families.”
