    Immediately following the shooting, Focus on the Family President Jim Daly told 11 News sister station CBS Denver that he mourned the tragedy and that the organization wanted to make it clear it stands against hate.

      Weasel words. They will say they stand against "hate" and that they "love" LGBTQ folks. But press them on it (if the camera isn't rolling) and they say that love includes telling people if they're doing something "harmful", and to them simply being gay or trans is harmful because it's a sin against God.

      I mean you can just thumb though their website and see how it chock full of all the LGBTQ hate you'd expect from evangelicals.

        Yeah they see being queer as a thing that you do not as a thing that you are. To a Christian a gay person is in the same category as a murderer: someone who did something evil but can still be forgiven by their god. This is how they claim to not be "hateful" while they call for lgbt genocide.

    What's the line between adventurism and doing something totally badass?

    Potential murderers and terrorists could and should be "defused" before they kill anyone in the first place. Normally I'd suggest improving material conditions, but the shooter in this case had political money in their family. Bringing awareness of scum-sucking parasitic organizations such as FotF and their complicity is a start, but there needs to be a way to cut off the flow of propaganda without making martyrs of them... or possibly a way to educate people on how martyrdom does not always make something correct.
