This was a hate crime, that it had a religious nutcase is no different than our own religious nutcases that blow up buildings or kill doctors. But this is America folks, according to our congress, the NRA, presidential candidates galore, gun makers and a weird reading of the 2nd every nutcase has a right to be a mass murderer. It's written into the baloney that passes for thought in America, having a zillion guns keeps you safe, well it doesn't but that doesn't really matter. Any crazy hate filled person and / or mentally unstable crackpot has this right, didn't the SCOTUS say so? And folks Congress needs money to pad their pockets. and gun makers and the NRA provide it, along with the blessing of idiots in journalism. This is so simple folks, it comes with the freedom to be stupid. Consequences don't matter when you say freedom five times.
