Gunman Attacks Conservative Christian Group

[CliveStaples]

What inflammatory rhetoric are you referring to? As far as I was aware, they simply said the Chick-fil-a couldn't build a store in their city. Also, what makes you think that the gunmen was influenced by this rhetoric.

Well, isn't it like Christian groups calling an organization "anti-Christian" or "Satanist" and so forth? Labeling them as "other" and "evil"...surely you've seen the rhetoric about Chick Fil A being "hateful", "intolerant", etc. From the shooter's worldview, that puts Chick Fil A into the "evil" crowd that's safe to act against.

Surely, if the guy didn't think that Chick Fil A was being "hateful" and "intolerant", but rather "respectful" and "has different political beliefs", he wouldn't have targeted them, right?

NOTE: I shouldn't have to say this, but to forestall any fucking retards, I'm not saying that calling Chick Fil A "hateful" or "intolerant" is somehow a code for 'it's okay to shoot people who agree with Chick Fil A's 'hateful' or 'intolerant' beliefs'.

Why would I do that, you were responding to Shell B. My comment to you had nothing to do with anyone else's posts.

I've interacted with Shell on these forums for a bit longer than you have & can tell you religious status hasn't a thing to do with her capability for compassion. I can also tell you she doesn't suffer fools gladly.

I haven't seen any reason to think Shell gives two shits about anyone who disagrees with her, let alone people she hates (e.g., conservative Christians).
