I haven't seen any followup to the reports that there was a Christian picket of the event immediately before the shooting. Anybody local know what church was involved and if they have a record of sectarian violence?

And Florida extends its open season on blacks:

Having a gun did a lot to protect Jones, didn't it? About as useful as it was to this cop in Minnesota:
