1. Well tonight he's a dead Christian

One more mentally unstable lone wolf was taken out today

[blogslut]

2. Is he?

I thought he was only wounded.

[malaise]

3. Chris Hayes said he died at hospital - here's a link

UPDATE 3/28/16 @ 9:25 p.m.
WASHINGTON (WSAZ) -- NBC News has released the name of a man accused of pulling out a firearm Monday at the U.S. Capitol, leading to him being fatally shot, as well as a lockdown at the Capitol.

Larry Dawson, 67, of Antioch, Tennessee, had been under a court order to stay away from the Capitol. Dawson was rushed to the hospital for surgery, but he later died.

A woman in the Visitor Center also was injured.

The incident happened just after 2:30 p.m. Monday at the entrance to the Visitor Center of the Capitol.

Sources tell NBC News that Dawson was armed with a pellet gun.

Dawson was arrested in October after an outburst in the gallery overlooking the floor of the House of Representatives, NBC News reports.

A website for a community church in Tennessee lists Dawson as its pastor.

Here's the outburst they mention

[blogslut]

4. Okay, but

...that's the only report I can find on him having died. Even the AP hasn't reported him as having died.

[malaise]

5. I was really surprised when Chris Hayes said it

but look at the time stamp on the link

[blogslut]

7. I did

I also looked on several news links, sorted by time most recently posted on Google and, well, I'm going to wait for more confirmation.

[cwydro]

21. CNN says he's alive this morning.

And expected to survive.

[dembotoz]

25. wow and it took jesus 3 days to rise from the dead!!!!! must be a new apple app

[kwassa]

31. well, he is a Christian, as the OP pointed out.

http://abc7.com/news/man-shot-by-police-after-drawing-weapon-at-us-capitol/1266134/

WASHINGTON (KABC) -- A man who drew what appeared to be a gun and pointed it at officers at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center was shot by police on Monday, authorities said.

Police said the suspect entered the center through the north street entrance. He was transported to a local hospital to undergo surgery. The suspect's condition was not immediately known. Officials said the suspect has frequented the Capitol grounds before.

Police said they believe this was an act of a single person, describing the incident as a criminal act. A weapon was collected at the scene.

10. Uh, ohhhhh

Looks like this thread took a turn.

[1939]

15. Yeah

not pointing fingers till you are sure of the direction might be a wiser course.

[FrodosPet]

11. A quick look shows that, Christian or not...

...the Right Wing is going to harp on the fact that he was a black preacher who was advocating for a $15.00 minimum wage.

Seriously, we might want to hope they DO ignore it.

[gabeana]

12. True that

I am sure it will make its way to faux news

[zeemike]

13. And armed with a pellet gun.

That should give the right wing a few laughs.

[Scuba]

14. In that case, suicide-by-cop must be considered.

[zeemike]

16. That's what it sounds like to me.

[WillowTree]

17. Not one word in that article said anything about him being a Christian.

I realize that since he was declaring himself to be a "prophet of God" instead of yelling Allahu Akbar pretty much draws the assumption that he must have been a Christian, but if you're going to be honest, nothing in that article says anything at all to that effect. For all you know, the god he was referring to is a house plant.

19. St. Luke's Community Church of Nashville TN

At least has the trappings of a Christian Church.

[FrodosPet]

20. He is a Christian

Note: The all caps are verbatim from the website

http://stlukesnashville.org/index.php?pr=THE_MOVEMENT

THE MOVEMENT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN HAS COME IN THE EARTH: IT IS BETTER UNDERSTOOD IN THE LORD'S PRAYER MATTHEW 6:10 "THY KINGDOM COME. THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. MATTHEW 4:17 FROM THAT TIME JESUS BEGAN TO PREACH, AND TO SAY, REPENT: FOR THE THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND.OUR FOUNDATION IS THE WORD OF GOD.
OUR ASSIGNMENT IS TO DO THE WILL OF GOD IN THE EARTH. THE MOVEMENT IS A NATIONAL MOVEMENT, TO HELP THE PEOPLE TO MOVE FORWARD BY:

1. THE PREACHING AND TEACHING THE WORD OF GOD, AND THE GOSPEL OF THE JESUS CHRIST.

2. THE SALVATION OF SOULS.

[cwydro]

22. Whatever he is, he did not die.

CNN reporting he's alive.

[FrodosPet]

23. Good point. I shouldn't be using past tense.

I have corrected the post title from "was" to "is".

[cwydro]

24. Well, I wasn't trying to correct you lol.

I just saw that everyone in the thread thought he was dead. I heard the same thing yesterday.

I just happened to be reading this thread when the story came up on CNN.

[yellowcanine]

18. Appears to be a sort of Prosperity Gospel type....

http://stlukesnashville.org/index.php?pr=THE_MOVEMENT

The website appears to be mainly set up to make it easy to donate money with a credit card. Very few specifics on what this church actually does other than accept donations.

[pintobean]

26. It's just a small Christian church

with a small, nine page website. Your link goes to one of three pages with a donate button. Did you click the other tabs?

[yellowcanine]

28. Yes, Nine page website with enough content for maybe two pages.

And precious little as to exactly what they do or what "The Movement" is.
Appears to be a money raising scheme to me.

[pintobean]

29. I had no problem figuring it out.

And the donate buttons didn't get in the way of that. It looks to me that they actually try to live what they believe, and help others.

[cleanhippie]

27. When it's a xtian, the're a Lone Wolf, not a Terrorist.

Get it now?

[FrodosPet]

30. This guy was a martyr wanna be

He had a pellet gun. He wanted to get shot without hurting anyone else.

But still, we need as many Christian examples of terrorism as we can get to push the idea that we are JUST AS BAD and JUST AS MANY Christian terrorists as Muslim ones.

We keep trying, but the best examples are of Timothy McVeigh and Anders Breivik. Alas, those fell apart when it turns out they are only "cultural" Christians who became either agnostics or Odinists.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

32. He also seems to be a liberal

Weird, but the picture with that sign bear that out.
