    Ngl as far as targets for domestic terrorism go a Joel Osteen church is a pretty justifiable one

    My dead Christo-fascist grandma looooved Joel Osteen. He’s a dangerous psycho who 100% deserves to be shot, and most of his followers aren’t far behind him on that list.

    I can’t say it surprises me that a trans woman at the end of her rope would try to shoot some of those vile people. If I had to guess she had some amount of religious trauma stemming from those people being transphobic genocidal freaks.

        Talking about killing people is easy. Firing downrange at a black and white target is easy. Actually ending someone else's life is incredibly difficult, especially if you've never done it before.

        Cops have practice that Civvies don't.

            Like, its a funny story to recount in the abstract, but that kid's life was irrevocably fucked the Unification Church. I do not envy what he had to go through to end up where he did.

          yeah i guess they never tell you how many times right wing mass shooters miss in the process, and their politics have the benefit of it not particularly mattering who they hit.

      What's wrong with Joel Osteen necessarily though? I mean, compared to other televangelists, like Kenneth Copeland, he seems pretty soft (don't get me wrong, his pro-Israel and anti-gay stance is bad)....
