    The shooter has pushed Terrell Owens to second and myself to third as the most infamous Chattanooga grads.

    Four dead Marines and you're trotting out an out-of-context post from 2009 to troll me. I might be on a Shetland pony, but at least I'm not rolling in the gutter like you.

    I never should have given you the satisfaction of replying to your bullshit. It won't happen again.

    Marines are not allowed to die without permission.

    Pissed off or unbalanced person kills a lot of people with a gun.

    One of those people was a Senator. I don't think any of these victims were elected officials.

    What's your point? I'm saying that it shouldn't shock anyone that the Confederate flag became a target.

    Tennessee is not an open carry state, but the state shall issue concealed carry permits and open carry permits. If you ask they must give you a permit unless you don't qualify. No reason for the carry permit is needed.

    There are no restrictions on private sales of firearms in Tennessee, except that one may not knowingly sell a firearm to a prohibited person. So there will be no paperwork or trail to which Wayne LaPierre butt buddy gave him the weapons.

    So where were all the armed citizens detering this crime with the guns?

    With all due respect to the men who were senselessly killed, the killer may have been a religious fanatic, those muslims can be fanatical. Gay marriage might have pushed them over the edge. Or Obamacare's requirements on vaccinations. Liquor sales on the Sabbath may have been an issue. And we know they love religious education, especially in public schools. Actually, under muslim law, the Koran must be taught in school. THats truely unAmerican. Prayer in schools.

    Shooting or no shooting, it was inappropriate to keep flying the flag.

    Radical Muslims only kill innocent people on days that end in "y."

    The flag wasn't the culprit, but what the flag symbolizes was. Actually saw the "your dishonoring the soldiers who fought" by removing the flag in the local letters to the editor. Absurd.

    Out of respect for the shooter, certain folks don't want to jump to conclusions.
