    Between the words “once lucid” and the expression on his face in his mugshot, I actually feel bad for the guy.

    Don’t do meth, kids.

      I guess that’s why the photo doesn’t show him with an open mouth

    Every gun owner thinks they’re a responsible gun owner.

      The responsible ones don’t end up on the news threatening a church, though.

        And they think they’re responsible, same as this guy. Too many of them are mistaken.

    I don’t understand how the police decided this guy hadn’t planned to attack a church for racist reasons. Sounds like they didn’t find evidence at his house about his intention to attack a black church, but that doesn’t preclude racism as a reason.

      Because we assume innocence without evidence?

        Brandishing a shotgun, aiming it at black churchgoers, barricading a house for a standoff, and writing a detailed description of a mass shooting attack definitely don’t mean a thing…

          And yet none of that is conclusive evidence of it being because of someone else’s race. I agree that it probably was, but we have no proof

    I bet he wasn’t making this face when he was preparing for the shooting.
