Featured NRA executive suggests slain Charleston pastor to blame for gun deaths

Might have something to do with the drugs they are on.

 

Won't work for the left.

Can't blame the guns if the drugs are the problem.

 

You used to be able to get extensions for those that would hold up to 27 rounds.

Anyone who has an index finger than throw an awful lot of bullets around with one lone of those. Once in your hand, they are very easy to shoot, and shoot a lot. And I can reload an ACP pretty fast. All it takes is practice.

I think everyone just hit the deck when he started. A .45 is a very noisy gun. Probably just shocked the entire crowd, and nobody dared to expose themselves to stop him.

 

What was the age breakdown of those attending the prayer meeting?

 

CTB, they ranged in age from 26 to 87.

The victims are:

The Rev. Clementa Pinckney, 41: A state senator and the senior pastor of Emanuel, he was married to Jennifer Benjamin and the father of two children, Eliana and Malana. He was a 1995 graduate of Allen University and got his master's degree at the University of South Carolina in 1999. He served in the state Legislature starting in 2000; The Post and Courier says black fabric was draped over Pinckney's Senate chamber seat on Thursday.

Cynthia Hurd, 54: According to the Charleston County Public Library, she was a 31-year employee who managed the John L. Dart Library for 21 years before heading the St. Andrews Regional Library. A statement said Hurd "dedicated her life to serving and improving the lives of others." The system closed its 16 branches Thursday to honor Hurd and the others who died in the shooting. County officials also say the St. Andrews library will be named for Hurd.

The Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, 45: A pastor at Emanuel, she was also a speech therapist and high school girls track and field coach, both positions at Goose Creek High School, according to her LinkedIn page. Jimmy Huskey, the school's principal, called her "a true professional ... [who] cared about her students and was an advocate for them." Her son, Chris Singleton, is a baseball player and student at Charleston Southern University. Coleman-Singleton also had two younger children, writes the Post and Courier.

Tywanza Sanders, 26: He was a 2014 graduate in business administration from Allen University in Columbia. Lady June Cole, the interim president of Allen University, described him as "a quiet, well-known student who was committed to his education." Known as Ty, he had worked in sales at department stores such as Belk and Macy's.

Ethel Lance, 70: She had attended Emanuel for most of her life and worked there as a custodian, as well. From 1968 to 2002, she worked as a custodian at Charleston's Gaillard Municipal Auditorium. The Post and Courier quotes a former colleague as saying, "She was funny and a pleasure to be around. And she was a wonderful mother and grandmother."

Susie Jackson, 87: Lance's cousin, she was a longtime church member.

Depayne Middleton Doctor, 49: The mother of four sang in Emanuel's choir. She had previously directed a community development program in Charleston County. In December, she started a new job as an admissions coordinator at the Charleston campus of her alma mater, Southern Wesleyan University. SWU President Todd Voss said: "Always a warm and enthusiastic leader, DePayne truly believed in the mission of SWU to help students achieve their potential by connecting faith with learning. Our prayers go out to family and friends. This is a great loss for our students and the Charleston region."

The Rev. Daniel Simmons, 74: Simmons survived the initial attack but then died in a hospital operating room. He had previously been a pastor at another church in the Charleston area.

Myra Thompson, 59: She was the wife of the Rev. Anthony Thompson, the vicar of Holy Trinity Reformed Episcopal Church in Charleston.

Just think if his spirit had been watered with that type of love instead of the right winged propaganda?

 

Still stuck in the old leftie vs rightie rut huh Zaac?

For a minute there I almost thought you could see beyond all that divide and conquer pablum.

Guess I was wrong.

 

Just think how much better the discussions on the BB would be if everyone exhibited the tolerance as that shown between SC justices Ginsburg and Scalia. They are very good friends, who talk, joke and socialize together while at the same time they do not on much of anything when it comes to law and the Constitution.

 

Not really poncho. I completely agree with you on that construct and that it's just smoke and mirrors and two sides of the same coin.

But not everybody gets that. And I think Dylann Roof is one of those who didn't , so he bought the rhetoric of the one side the way so many on this board do.

 

Maybe we should pray for each other today and for ourselves.

 

What you reposting this for? :laugh: As I said to the same post, nice attempt to reframe history. But everybody who is being honest and can see through your attempt to mislead already knows that the racist white Democrats left the party and went to the GOP when all the Blacks started joining the Democrat Party.

Weak attempt to cover the truth with your "common misconception" That's just a very vain attempt to cover the truth that undoes all the other things you claimed as fact in TRYING to make a point.

Po' thang.

 

I am almost convinced that Zaac is in the paid employment of Baptist Board with the purpose to post absurd comments to garner activity on the site.

 

So who's rhetoric are you buying?

Be careful now Rolf your inner conspiracy theorist is tying to bust out. :smilewinkgrin:
