13. Did you hear what the shooter's dad said?

He gave a statement that apologized and he said it was not about religion, but rather a couple of months ago, his son became really angry after seeing two men kissing in public.

I am just so sick about this.

[Ms. Yertle]

14. Well--

I wonder if the son had become "really angry" if it wouldn't have been for religion.

Whatever happened to "live and let live?"

[Evergreen Emerald]

15. That is what my daughter said.

I think the dad was differentiating "terrorism" versus "hate crime."

[ecstatic]

for one person to kill 50 people??!
