"You can help by praying for these families and their loved ones, first and foremost."

"Everyone can do that... If you want a way to help, it's through prayer and it's through financial donations."

-Audrey Gossett Louis, district attorney in Sutherland Springs, Texas re: the shooting massacre.

I wonder what the people in the church were doing prior to getting shot. Praying, maybe?

Good thing no one attacked the victims.

I would however, guess that pretending victims had been attacked may also make one "look like shit."
