I'm really starting to think that we should have let the Confederate States secede. Do we really want them to be a part of today's America??

And if the congregation were all or dominantly black then would it be likely that members pack heat? And I don't understand this part of the article: "Karey is being held on a $1 million bond at the Calcasieu Correctional Center and will be charged with second degree murder, police said." 2nd degree?!?!? What is that all about? This cat came to party with a shotgun and used it from afar and then used it a second time at very close range. How is that some spontaneous act of violence?
