    NEWTOWN, Conn. — Several hundred mourners packed a Newtown church Sunday morning for an emotional memorial to the victims of Friday's mass shooting — but a second mass was abruptly canceled by a telephone “threat” to the house of worship.
    Father Ignacio Ortigas, a reverend at the church, said an anonymous caller threatened to come "finish the job because the other guy didn't," a chilling reference to Adam Lanza's killing spree at a local elementary school that left 20 children and six adults dead.
    "It was very sick and disturbing," Ortigas said.

    At least he didn't use the threat of a gun.

    There are already enough demagogues on the gun issue running loose, no need to give them more fodder.

    He didn't use the threat of a gun? Sure looks like he did to me. If he said he was coming to finish the job that the other guy couldn't finish, he's vowing to copy the perp's work, isn't he?
