#2 In an interview with sheriff’s Detective John Lightle, suspect Steven Anthony Shields said he has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and is not taking his medication.

Shields said that what he did was “awesome,” and he smiled and laughed while he was questioned at the Sheriff’s Office, according to an arrest affidavit. Referring to himself as the “king” and saying he was on a “mission,” Shields told the detective he has problems with the Catholic Church and made reference to several Bible passages, including the Book of Revelation.

#6 Two other anti-Catholic attacks on the very same day and one that I can thaat I can recall since the Burg started. Real coincidence, ain't it?

Yes. But it could have been worse. I think that during the Obama administration this character would have found a way to get his hands on an AR-15.
