The pastor told WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh that Polite smiled at him and they made eye contact just before Polite pointed the gun at him.

That’s not very polite.

He smiled and made eye contact, what more do you want?

Not get shot at would be nice.

That congregant is a fucking hero. No hesitation.

I'm kinda surprised that they didn't name him, as it seems like he kinda went above-and-beyond and they did name everyone else, but maybe he asked to not be.

Why doesn't God's word count when it is spoken to this man?

Obviously wasn't God's word, was it?

Obviously it was all just God's will for him to become an antifa deep state false flag actor.

Edit: /s. Just to be clear.

Maybe he forgot to reload after killing Derek Polite. (Who may or may not be related to Bernard Polite.)
