One dead, five injured, suspect detained in shooting during Asian church service​

The shooting was reported at Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, a retirement community. Sources say the suspect is Asian.

One person was dead and five others were injured in a shooting during a meeting of Asian churchgoers in Southern California Sunday, the Orange County Sheriff's Department said.

The attack was reported at Geneva Presbyterian Church at 1:26 p.m. in the retirement city of Laguna Woods, the department said. Four victims suffered critical injuries, it said.


The body of the deceased was discovered at the scene, sheriff's officials said, while all the surviving victims, including a person with minor injuries, were hospitalized, the said.

Sheriff's officials said a group belonging to a Taiwanese church was at the facility when gunfire broke out.

Police sources said the man detained is in his 60s and of Asian descent. They stressed that the investigation was in its very preliminary stages and they have not determined motive.

It does not appear that there are any other suspects, the sources said. At least one handgun has been recovered at the scene, the sources said.

The Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church, a name that refers to a nearby city, was scheduled to meet at the facility at 10 a.m., according to its website.

Tom Cramer, a co-executive at a network of Orange County Presbyterian churches, the Presbytery of Los Ranchos, said the violence took place during a luncheon honoring a former pastor of the Taiwanese congregation.

"The Presbytery of Los Ranchos is deeply saddened by a fatal shooting that occurred at a lunch reception ...," he said in a statement. "Please keep the leadership of the Taiwanese congregation and Geneva in your prayers as they care for the those traumatized by this shooting. "

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives said agents based in Los Angeles were responding to Laguna Woods to assist sheriff's investigators.

Laguna Woods and Laguna Woods Village are relatively exclusive communities for people 55 and older and their companions or loved ones. Large parts of it, including the village, are gated.


The city is composed of single-family homes, town houses and apartment-style residences. It opened as Leisure World in 1964. It became the county's 32nd city in 1999.

Let me tell you what this really is. Frustration and loads of it. This white boy couldn't find a girl and watched in despair how other ethnicities were running off with white girls. He is greedy and wants the white race to dominate over all other races. He talks about preservation and white genocide as if he is the victim LOL He is himself an immigrant child and lives in the USA. It is hilarious how he lectures on racial purity and hands out certificates on IQ levels. This is all clasical victimhood BS.

Progressive policies and woke culture is turning white girls towards other ethnicities, because on Tiktok white girls cash this fact that they are dating a black/Asian or Mexican guy, it also give them free pass from been racists, because hey I can't be a racists if I have a black friend right? People often talk about low birth rates, so idiot go and make babies, killing 10 other race people will have no effect just as making 10 more white babies will (as they claim). In the 150+ history of USA they only had 1 black President, doesn't that tell you something ? They have no Muslim or Mexican President doesn't that tell you something ? These people will put ISIS to shame if given the power.

Let's meet the tough handsome white babloo:

This babloo bear presents himself as the savior of the white race. It isn't very hard to see why this extremely smart white babloo bear had to write a manifesto and resort to a killing spree. He wanted a place in Valhalla. Our little baby Viking.

He doesn’t look like he can write a 5-page essay for his English class. He’s only cut and pasted pages from other white manifestos that have been used for other shootings. Apparently it’s a copy of the one used in the Christchurch mosque massacre.

The white supremacist manifesto seems to be based on some kind of demonic agenda. It’s all about killing non-whites. It never recommends that whites return to family values. These supremacists all want to corrupt young white girls by sleeping with as many of them as possible and never promote marriage and family life. Then they cry when those girls run away with non-white men.

A white male kills ten Afro-Americans and injures three.
Soon a report will come out that the man was mentally unstable. This is not a case of terrorism.

If a Han Chinese killed 10 Uyghurs or Tibetans in China, the whole hell will break loose in the west while killing and persecuting minorities are just a norm, a daily socially accepted practice in US.

Low birth rates are understandable, its hella expensive here to raise kids. birth rates decline as women get more involved in work place, gain access to family planning etc. Low Birth rates are not a west only or christian phenomenon, case in point countries like Japan, Russia. The move to curtail abortion, birth control etc is already going to gain steam once Roe v. Wade is destroyed.

As for woke culture, I find it a stupid catch all phrase with no real meaning or standard definition, it can mean different things to different people.

Payton Gendron threatened school shooting before Buffalo attack

State police called to high school in 2021 over incident

www.independent.co.uk

New evidence is adding further context to the white supremacist mass shooting that killed 10 people in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday.

Payton Gendron, 18, who has been charged with murder over the attack, had previously threatened to shoot up his high school and was taken into custody for a mental health evaluation, an anonymous law enforcement source told The Associated Press.

In 2021, the then-17-year-old talked about committing a shooting at Susquehanna Valley Central High School in Broome County, New York.


The threats to the school came in comments to fellow students, The Buffalo News reported on Saturday, citing unnamed government sources.

“A school official reported that this very troubled young man had made statements indicating that he wanted to do a shooting, either at a graduation ceremony, or sometime after,” the official said.

This prompted school officials to call New York state troopers, who took Mr Gendron into custody under the state’s mental health law for evaluation.

He was in treatment for about a day and a half before being released, Buffalo police commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said during a press conference on Sunday, though he did not describe the extent or findings of the treatment.

The school threats are the latest piece of evidence suggesting Mr Gendron was enamoured with violence.

They join a body of evidence suggesting Mr Gendron was radicalised online and driven by white supremacist hatred.

“The evidence that we have uncovered so far makes no mistake that this is an absolutely racist hate crime,” Mr Gramaglia said during the press conference. “This is someone who has hate in their heart, soul and mind.”

Officials have already executed a search warrant on Mr Gendron’s car, and are in the process of obtaining more to search his home and social media accounts.

If a country that the US didn’t like had 1/10th the divisions that US society has they would have been ripped apart into 20 pieces.

The US has taken on some very formidable enemies, so don’t be surprised if they take advantage of circumstances prevailing in the country. Russians supporting Trump? Probably. Chinese supporting white supremacists? Possibly.

Even without external support the writing is on the wall. It’s not just me saying it.

Don't worry..apparently because Trump lost the election we magically went back to being a Democracy instead of an Anocracy in her eyes a month after she gave the above interview. So it's all a false alarm.

"That rating improved to “democracy” just this month,"

It used to be much much much worse in the 1960s to the point where people across the country were thinking of not even having kids for fear of their future safety. It certainly is nowhere near that bad now.

US mass shooter called for Sadiq Khan's death in chilling rant before massacre

Teenager Payton Gendron is accused of scrawling the n-word on his rifle before carrying out Saturday's racist shooting attack at Tops Friendly store in Buffalo, New York

www.mirror.co.uk

On page 165 of his manifesto, under the heading 'Kill high profile enemies', the twisted teen listed Mr Khan as one of three men he wanted dead.
He wrote: "Sadiq Khan, The current mayor of London at the time of writing, an open sign of the disenfranchisement and ethnic replacement of the British people in the British isles.

"This Pakistani Muslim invader now sits as representative for the people of London. Londinium, the very heart of the British isles.

"What better sign of the white rebirth than the removal of this invader?"

Billionaire George Soros and Turkish leader Recep Erdoğan were the others.

Only last week, Mr Khan spent five days in the US.

During the trip, aimed at boosting London's tourist industry, the city's mayor visited New York, Los Angeles and visited a cannabis dispensary on America's west coast.

Elsewhere, Gendron discussed 'The rape of European women by invaders'. He dedicated much of the issue to cases in the UK, providing Wikipedia links to 15' rape cases'.

Before providing the URLs, he wrote: "Many of you may already know about the rape of British women by the invading forces, Rotherham of course being the most well-known case.

Shooting at southern California church leaves one dead and five wounded​

A shooting at a California church on Sunday has killed at least one person and wounded five others, in at least the second mass shooting of the weekend in the US.

The shooting early on Sunday afternoon occurred at Geneva presbyterian church in Laguna Woods, a town of 16,000 that consists of Laguna Woods Village, a retirement community for people 55 and older once known as Leisure World.

Authorities said churchgoers detained the suspect and hog-tied his legs with an electrical cord.

“That group of churchgoers displayed ... exceptional heroism and bravery in intervening to stop the suspect,” Orange County undersheriff Jeff Hallock said. “They undoubtedly prevented additional injuries and fatalities.”

Between 30 and 40 people were gathered for lunch after a morning church service when gunfire erupted shortly before 1.30 pm, officials said.

One victim died at the scene. Four people were critically wounded, and one person sustained minor injuries. All of the victims were adults and were being taken to the hospital, the Orange county sheriff’s department said.

The majority of those inside the church at the time were believed to be of Taiwanese descent, said Carrie Braun, a sheriff’s spokesperson.

The suspect in the shooting, an Asian man in his 60s, was in custody and deputies recovered two handguns at the scene, Hallock said. A motive for the shooting wasn’t immediately known but investigators don’t believe the gunman lives in the community, he added.

The reception was honoring a former pastor of a Taiwanese congregation that has services at Geneva, according to a statement from the Presbytery of Los Ranchos, a church administrative body.

Sunday’s shooting comes one day after a white 18-year-old man opened fire at a supermarket in a mostly black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York, killing 10 and wounding three in what authorities described as a purely racist attack.

“This is upsetting and disturbing news, especially less than a day after a mass shooting in Buffalo,” said Representative Katie Porter, whose district includes Laguna Woods. “This should not be our new normal. I will work hard to support the victims and their families.”

The California governor’s office said on Twitter that the Gavin Newsom was closely monitoring the situation.

“No one should have to fear going to their place of worship. Our thoughts are with the victims, community, and all those impacted by this tragic event,” the tweet said.
