Oh, that's the report you heard? So, one? Because I've been following this story very closely and the "Christians were targeted" story is falling apart. You folks just don't want to accept it because it would mean that you aren't actually being martyred for your "faith." He was someone who was intent on killing as many people as possible so he would be remembered, he wanted the limelight. Christians were no more special to him than anyone else.

He shot his teacher in the head. His teacher was Jewish. Was he targeting Jews too?

Exactly. Those folks are focusing on the false story that Christians were being targeted, while ignoring all the other people who were killed and injured. Not a particularly "christian" attitude, is it?

This. He was a murderer who shot as many people as possible. It didn't matter to him if they were a Jew or a Christian. His intent was to kill people. Sadly, he did just that.

From the article below (eyewitness account) "I didn't want him to notice that I was still alive, so that he wouldn't point me up," she said. "He was telling (people) that he knows they are still alive and for them to get up."

Each time someone stood, Heu said, he or she was shot regardless of the answer.

"I don't think he was actually targeting a specific religion," she said. "He just wanted to do it for fun, 'cause he still shot every single one. He started shooting people before even asking."

Christianism wants its pound of flesh.
