More anti-Christian/anti-Western Civilization violence:
An LDS church in Grand Blanc, MI was attacked yesterday.
The single perpetrator drove his vehicle nearly all the way into the church building. Photos show it jammed halfway through the entry.
He then exited the vehicle and began shooting at parishioners who were there for normal Sunday services, using some kind of longarm (this is very similar to the 1991 Luby’s Cafeteria attack in TX)
At some point the perpetrator used gasoline he had brought along to start a fire that eventually consumed the entire structure.
Police response was courageous and nearly instantaneous, and the single perpetrator was subsequently killed in an exchange of gunfire. No LEOs were injured, but the death-toll among parishioners is five (so far), with twice that number injured.
To complicate the matter, local hospitals quickly discovered that they do not have an “unlimited capacity” to accept serious trauma cases!
My comment: When the LDS Church was young, Brigham Young delivered his sermons while wearing (openly) two revolvers!
Unfortunately, that fiery spirit has long-since been pooh-poohed, and eventually suffocated, by the current generation of oh-so “sophisticated” Church “leadership.”
The same sad epitaph applies to the vast majority of modern Christian denominations!
LDS Church hierarchy not only discourages church attendees from carrying concealed guns, even among their own in-good-standing members who are properly licensed by the State, the practice is specifically disallowed!
“Churches are dedicated for the worship of God, and as havens from the cares and concerns of the world. The carrying of lethal weapons, concealed or otherwise, within their walls is inappropriate and prohibited, except for LEOs” (evidently, LEOs don’t deserve insulation from “the cares and concerns of the world”)
As all Mormons (indeed all Christians) should have noticed from yesterday’s church attack, “the cares and concerns of the world” apparently didn’t get that high-minded memo!
Our Jewish brethren are wearily familiar with this sort of thing, or should be!
The lesson here is (as I’ve reiterated an nauseam): the most important “first responder” is you!
Blindly obey stupid “rules” (nonchalantly imposed by the uncaring and insulated elite) if you wish, but at your peril!
