    “It’s unfortunate that on the day we want to attend church and watch America’s No. 1 sports event we find ourselves gathered here to respond to this tragedy,” Houston Mayor John Whitmire said during the press conference.

    How could this happen on the same day as America's Big Game??!!!!?????

    The woman began shooting upon entering the church. Two off-duty officers shot the female shooter, who died on scene, according to authorities. The child was also shot and is in critical condition at Texas Children’s Hospital, but officers were unclear about how the child was injured. Another 57-year-old man — unassociated with the shooter — was shot in the leg and is being treated.

    ...

    “We don’t understand why these things happen, but we know God is in control,” Osteen said. “We are going to pray for the little 5-year-old boy and the lady that was deceased, her family, and the other gentlemen."

    Who is presumably a member of his church, and this asshole can't even bother to find out his name???

    I'm not surprised, it's just really funny to see in print.

      Shitmire is a fucking pox on this city and has been since he crawled into the State Senate seat and infested it for the last 40 fucking years. Everything wrong with Texas politics in a nutshell.
