Yes, open season on Christianity these days.
I'm not into mega-churches and pastors, but the famous are pastors getting more hate then ever.

These bigger churches have pretty good security protocols. I would guess in Texas you’re looking at 5 armed people out of every 100. More rural, that number goes up.

Too much Christian hate these days. These days? It’s always been this way. God allows us to be challenged. If it were easy, then what would be the point?

I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.

It’s granted only a maniac would do a church shooting but she brought a little kid with her while she was doing it. That’s some pure evil nutjob behavior.

That is very rare. Just because the news said "she" doesn't necessarily mean it was a female.

Most likely the Deputy or TABC Agent accidentally hit the kid during the gun fight. Now to see if the media tries to crucify them instead of the person who brought a little kid in tow to a church shooting.

Immigration status? It was the 2pm Hispanic service.

Wonder what ethnicity she was? https://www.foxnews.com/us/lakewood...ire-inside-joel-osteens-texas-megachurchLakewood Church shooting: Woman with child in tow opens fire inside Joel Osteen's Texas megachurchHouston police said the child was shot and the suspected shooter was killedTwo people were injured and one suspect was killed during a shooting at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church on Sunday afternoon, Texas authorities say. During a press conference, police chief Troy Finner said that the shooting began at 1:53 p.m. It happened at around the time that the Spanish language church service was scheduled to start. The suspect, who was a woman, entered the church with a long rifle. She was wearing a backpack and a trench coat, and was accompanied by a "small child, approximately 4 to 5 years old," Finner said. After she began shooting, off-duty officers at the scene "engaged" the woman and returned fire. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. Once she went down, officers reported back to us that she threatened that she had a bomb," the police chief explained. "So we searched her vehicle, our bomb squad, and also the backpack [she brought]. "No explosives were found, but she was also spraying some type of substance on the ground."

Maybe they should check for green cards before they pass through the metal detectors.

I can't find a pic anywhere. "The woman, who officials said was in her early 30s, has not been identified."
To be determined

Pretty tough (for a law enforcement official)call legally/lawsuit wise…maybe not this case, but if some nut job straps a kid on the front of his bullet proof vest, and is walking around with a AR blasting people….when do you take the shot??? They miss, hit the kid, the nut job gives up, lawyers, jail time, and bankruptcy all follow. What a mess we live in.
