Not very long ago, things like this never happened and churches could be open all day and night as a refuge; now however, one has to worry about the threat of violence even in the House of God. This is a tragedy to have someone killed from the selfish acts of another. This world always seems to have just as much if not more bad news than good.

Who robbs a church? :lol:

If I was going to rob someplace, it certainly wouldn't be a church. And adding murder to the list of crimes? That's just stupid. I would make a waaaaaaayy better thief than this guy. Seriously, sometimes I want to become a criminal just to show these morons how it's done.

Oh, and It's always bad to hear about someone being murdered and everything.

Church's technically can have valuables, but that is still no excuse. I guess criminals have none, and are heartless.

Ok, what the actual fuck? Many churches give charities, at least they used to when I was attending. But murder? And who robs a church? Church valuables are hard to fence unless you melt them.

Criminals make no sense. At least this didn't happen on Sunday morning with families in it. But this is still so tragic.

Robbing a church/mosque/etc makes as much sense as robbing the Red Cross, Unicef or ORCA.

Well, I don't know about the churches you attend, but the churches my family have attended have always had really nice furniture and sound system equipment. And they usually have video game systems or something similar for the youth.

Sad to hear. I feel sorry for the families of these individuals.

Churches here only had gold items, but those are ultra-hard to fence.

So... no sense.

So true. The House of God is sacred!

Supposed to be. People used to respect all places of worship, not so much. I was at a church that routinely was burglarized.
