kawunnee 20? It's at the moment 156. Are you going to make a big deal of this like you all fake news did with the New Zealand mosque, or you will be ignoring it tomorrow? After all it's only christians, right
Yes, the most peaceful religion is at it again!
Keep calm and carry on. Killing Christians is normal. No media outrage.
