a huge fallacy to suppose that one community is somehow more intrinsically prone to violence or outrage than any other.

As the gospels present it to us, the mission of Jesus of Nazareth is about the way in which the community of God's people - historically, the Jewish people who had first received the law and the covenant - is being re-created in relation to Jesus himself.

I can't be light about [gun violence] anymore because it's terrifying to see my friends too scared to leave the house because of all the shootings.

I think it's wonderful because we've experienced all this violence in this community the last several months and, here we are, black, white and hispanic spending the day having fun together. And that's the way it should be.

Whoever is behind any of the various community violence, anywhere, whether it's republican or loyalist, we're determined to do all we can to de-escalate that and to get on with it.

We have a concerned community here who was wondering if this was some random act of violence. We believe it was someone who knows the victims, and that this is an isolated incident.
