Who

Yah think ..

Date night gone wrong

All these reposts—does MSM just want the clicks? Or is something else going on.

It clearly shows that the Bishop is part of or was part of those priest who abused boys in the past. He is no holy and saint.

......TEAM JORGE.....

SALTA ARGENTINA

You don't say? Someone SHOT a priest and people had to even hesitate for 1 second to call it a murder?

This is the intro to the grand jury report. 12 strangers wrote this. It goes on for 1300+ more pages and gets sicker and sicker. I made it 10 pages in before being so disgusted. I knew i wouldn't sleep. I guess Karma doesn't think saying Hail Mary's is a good enough punishment.

I hope he didn't touch a Choir Boy who grew into a man holding a gun with memories.

I wander what their first clue was? The bullet hole?

Well it certainly wasn’t natural causes

Well….

he had a passion for building a community where the sanctity and dignity of every human life was honored and protected,' —- Seems you live in a world that a lot sanctity and dignity must be harmed and destroyed for you to honor and protect them

Should stop touching little kids then

😡

Why Murder And Not A Hate Crime

Why not a hate crime?

Sovereign citizen crazy versus judge trellis Lane funniest video on YouTube by team skeptic after dark funniest video on YouTube thinks he has a billion dollars Democrat credit

Thoughts & prayers.

Pro-abortion extremists, no doubt.

Fake news. Couldn’t happen. Murder and scary guns are against the law in California, so I know this is fake.

As opposed to what? A two party suicide?

Can we make sure we know if he molested any children before we canonize this guy? Not saying he had, but given the circumstances we should at least check.

Not a hate crime...🤷‍♂️🤔

That shooter will rot in hell.

It’s a shooting death…. Um. Yea….

LA is a mess. Drugs, crime and a government that thinks all is ok.

when it comes to catholic priests it could be for all sorts of reasons

Murdered buying groceries, murdered while you pray in church, murdered walking the streets, murdered on military bases, murdered at your school, murdered gassing your car, murdered as a min wage server, murdered as a toddler. Courtesy of the do-nothing republican gop and the NRA.
