The gunman who rammed his truck into a Mormon church and opened fire on worshippers was an Iraq war veteran who had previously shown support for Donald Trump.
Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, from suburban Michigan, killed at least four people in the attack on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township on Sunday.
Police are still combing through the wreckage after he set the building ablaze.

(23,444 posts)Charlie Kirk would have loved this. The idea of someone killing people on his behalf would have made him very happy. People act like he didn't celebrate violence and killing on the regular. He loved it, and he wanted children to witness executions as a lesson.

(1,541 posts)Mormons because it was a Mormon that killed Saint Charlie of Misogyny.
It is pretty clear from the Yahoo article that the shooter was not a radical lunatic communist Marxist fascist left winger.
It was reminiscent of the Kluxers burning black churches back in the day.

(113,960 posts)realized that after devoting their hearts, souls, and lives to King Putz, they had nothing left and some of them would pick up guns and start shooting other people, some random and some not.
I don't think this was random, he had some kind of beef with this particular church. I say this because of the overkill, burning the church down to kill any survivors of the shooting.
Losing his cult didn't help, it was just one more thing that eventually turned an asshole into an asshole with a big, ugly gun who thought killing people would make him feel better.

(113,960 posts)we will likely never know. He's dead and anyone who know why he was so angry at that church might be injured or dead.

(115 posts)The press is either too lazy or too scared to report where he got the weapons and what red flags were missed. How about the names and addresses of all the gun sellers who armed mass shooters?

(53,444 posts)The placard, first reported by the Daily Beast, was propped up above a red stop sign. The image of the placard was too unclear to tell definitively whether it also displayed the last name of Mike Pence or JD Vance Trumps running mates during his three presidential campaigns since 2016.
Meanwhile, a family photo posted on Facebook shows Sanford posing alongside his wife and 10-year-old son wearing a Re-elect Trump 2020 T-shirt. The shirt from when the first of Trumps two presidencies ended in defeat to Joe Biden carries the logo Make Liberals Cry Again.
