Mr Deity's response to Chapel Hill.......

[Mister Agenda]

Just for the record the shooter described himself as a "gun toting atheist".

Oh yeah, no doubt of that. Of course, the conservatives are describing him as a 'lefty' despite at least that one glaring exception to usual leftist political stances.

As a libertarian-leaning person myself, I am hesitant to claim him, but his positions as stated on his FB page (pro gun rights, pro choice, and pro marriage equality) are consistent with him being a libertarian.

Of course, that's not why those three students are dead, either. Him being an armed rage monster who had to have his own way seems at the root of it.

One lesson here: if there's a guy in your neighborhood that has a lot of people worried about their safety to the point you have a neighborhood meeting about it, don't decide to do nothing. We have intuitions about people we know being dangerous for a reason.

We should probably assure everyone that the shooter was not a True Atheist™, then.

I know you're being tongue-in-cheek, but for the record (as they say), that's something we should not do.
