“… Sanford, a US Marine veteran, according to his mom’s Facebook page, rammed his Chevy Silverado truck into the building before unleashing the assault on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, armed with a semi-automatic rifle.

… Cops said there were hundreds of worshippers inside when the attack began, and that an unknown number of victims could be found inside once the building is safe to enter after a massive blaze consumed nearly the entire building, aerial footage showing an enormous plume of choking black smoke rising up from the structure….”
Apparently striking nurses left a nearby picket line and ran to the scene of the shooting to help.
 
I think white evangelicals is wrong. Evangelicals is accurate.
I think evangelicals is wrong.

You’re talking about fundamentalists, white fundamentalists …..Liberal, left evangelicals exist…….they’re deceased, but see Robert Seymour and his wife Pearl and Seymour’s parishioner, Dean E. Smith……
 
That has been repeated often here and at ZZLP when posters trying to take a shot at me and I have never answered as I will now. We are a county with 7O percent POC, lots of poverty, the effects of Jim Crow etc. Obviously crime is an issue because it's attached poverty. So, yea, sad place but it seems to garner scorn not sympathy. I've worked in many ways to make this place better.
I can’t think of anyone who has worked harder and longer to try and improve Robeson County, Lumberton, Pembroke, Red Springs, Rowland, Parkton, St. Pauls, and other Robeson communities than ‘79.

Robeson County is a different breed. Rural North Carolina is a different breed.

A relative married into a WEALTHY family in Scotland County. That family owned huge swaths of Robeson County (and the fast food restaurants close to I-95) and surrounding counties. When you drive through Laurinburg and see its really big football stadium for a shitty little town……Look at the name…..Pate Stadium. That family owns Scotland and the surrounding counties.

One might say, “Big deal.” We’re talking 10’s of millions annually. This family EXTRACTED wealth from Scotland, Robeson, and neighboring counties for decades.

They continue to extract wealth from those counties.

When integration began, that family sent their kids to an all-white private school just across the border in South Carolina.
