Thread Name: BS: shooting at Texas army base
Subject: RE: BS: shooting at Texas army base
The relentless Christianity in the military (there are documented horror stories about them fragging atheists after they get to the war zone and being completely intolerant of any other religion -or the lack thereof- before going there) certainly had a lot to do with it, but I bet we won't hear that from the investigation.

The poor guy, and how awful for people actually needing shrinks. That is, yes, *after* How awful for the shooting victims and their families.

There were early reports that not all the bullets that hit people other than the shooter came from the shooter, back when there were also reports that there may have been more than one shooter. I would bet it turns out that those running up to help started shooting anybody who had a gun out, without knowing whether they were shooting at the shooter or not. (Which, of course, makes sense, and there might be nothing wrong with that.) But I would further put money down that if any of the shot were people of color, then the chances are higher that they were shot by those trying to help rather than the original shooter...

Wonder if we'll hear any more about that, anyway.
