You missed the point of my post completely. I was not even addressing whether the registry is his or whether his GF gets care at that center. I was correcting incorrect speculation about the specific events--speculation (written as if it were fact) that he was IN the center with the GF for an appointment or whatever and suddenly went nuts and started this rampage. Which is not how things happened, according to the center director. Please read the post more attentively. |
Seven men didn't add chaos? And were pretty ineffective to boot. |
Absolutely. It's not the assailant's fault at all. When he was growing up, his parents only had a two-door car and a black and white television. |

I happened to be in the VA area on business last week and saw this story. Allow me to add a different "God" perspective to this discussion.
A young man once asked a priest why the Church has so many rules to control people. Why can't the Church just let people be free to do what they want to do? The priest responded that the rules are there to keep you free. To keep you out of jail, they prevent you from becoming addicted to drugs, etc. I asked myself why this person was drawn to the Problem Pregnancy Center(PPC)? Why did he do what he did? The only answer I can come up with is demonic possession through drugs/PCP. The devil hates all that we do in the body of Christ and the PPC battles evil. The "God" Samaritans stepped in to stop the killing of the little girl. PPC vs PCP, just one letter difference, but all the difference when it comes to good and evil. The line between deception and truth can be hard to see. It can be seen in Abby Johnson's life story, the movie Unplanned. My wife has stood outside an abortion center and has seen a guy screaming at his girl, telling her "you will go get an abortion." I've prayed as mothers have forced their daughters to enter the abortion clinic, with tears rolling down her face. Like Gettysburg, our country is divided and millions are being killed in the abortion clinics. Drugs vs mental illness. Just as drugs can cause a heart attack in a healthy person, drugs can cause mental illness in a healthy person. There's a reason they are endlessly searching for that next high with an unquenchable hunger. Twelve-step programs lead to a spiritual awakening. Pray for Augustus and his victims, his girlfriend, his child. Love, not hate, changes the world. As Urban Mom's & Dad talk to everyone about how precious life is and consider having another child, fostering, or adopting. Pray our country will build a culture of Life, not death. Our country is on the road to becoming numb with more gambling to distract us, more drugs, and more abortion. We need to get back to helping one another and promoting a culture of life with a spiritual awakening. May God bless America. Had the police shot Augustus that day, the devil would have rejoiced. When judas betrayed Jesus, the devil never thanked him. The devil drove judas to suicide. The same is true with addiction and abortion. The devil once inside drives people to despair, depression and suicide. God brings good from evil. Augustus will get a second chance to turn around his life, and even when he's locked up in prison, he can be free of drugs and evil and hopefully turn to God for forgiveness. This attack reminded us all of the importance to support our PPC's and protect our children, and to avoid drugs. I would ask you to great Augustus as A?ca was treated. |

Just seeing this story. I drove by right near the scene just a few minutes or so after this happened. I had no idea what was going on but had to pull over to allow multiple police vehicles to pass me.
I was on my way to aftercare pickup from SWS, which is less than two blocks away. Horrifying. Could have been my kids. |
Amen, so eloquently written. Signed, a friend in Christ |
I was wondering what the people who used to write those Jack Chick tracts did with their time these days and I guess this is the answer. |
