Places of worship must have locked doors, especially at times when people are known to gather. The access to these hatefilled morons is too easy. Bowers, Roof and others know they had easy access. Roof even went at time of study. Don’t compromise the faithful in the name of hope for possible conversions walking through the door. We lock our doors at home after we enter, why would the home where we find solace with God or a higher power be any different?

The mechanics of even securing a wooden door is not difficult. Any door to secure human life should have the proper placement of hardware. The safest door has impossibly strong hardware placed in the proper location in the door which is the center on one side with strong hinges on the other. It is physics that adds protection and not necessarily tensil strenght of big, heavy doors a 95 year old could never open. Physics, the quality of the nature of the world our Creators gave us is the best protector.

Door attendants are important when worshippers gather. Closed circuit camers can provide a view of those on the outside of a solid door and the approach as well. Reinforced glass doors provide optimal vision to whom approaches. Lighting as well for shadowed entries, evenings and nighttime movement of worshippers.

Why? Why the obstruction? TIME. And reaction. Law enforcement needs help to end the death tolls. The reaction of law enforcement is incredibly quick. It can’t be better. We need to help to protect life. Providing a physical obstruction to any assailant(s) wiil also carry alarm to those gathered and they can move to greater safety. The schools in the USA are required to have door reinforcements to every classroom, please take example to places of worship.

Please consider safety a human need and act no differently than the common table we all enjoy in the dance of life. Take the power away from the killers and place it in the hands of those that seek the highest moral purpose of life. Please.
Where does one begin?

First, I think the Allegheny Medical Examiner’s office needs at least two Rabbis to work with them to move the forensics along to release the bodies for their final service. The community is familiar with body preparation to the final service as well. Perhaps the examiners office needs assistance from neighboring counties as time is important. Thank you.

This is going to sound bizarre, but, I caution federal law enforcement to think through the idea the gunman acted alone and this is not domestic terrorism. One of the last, if not the last statement on the gunman’s cyber account dismissed the patience being carried out by others in the community to exhibit an image to disguise their desires and at some point plans of mass killings to all those they hate.

The statement was, “Screw your optics, I am going in.” That is extremely telling of the entire community he is involved with and their aspirations. There are many more Bowers with private arsenal’s gearing up to carry out their long lived ideology. He is not a single individual acting alone. These actions followed attempted bombings of noteable political figures in this country. That is the peripheral members on edge to act.

Bowers has many brothers. He especially hated Jews and lived near a large community of Hebrews. Another, such as Dylan Roof has a particular affinity to hate African Americans and targeted a precious church. The two mass murders made choices to assault places of worship that are noteworthy among the greater community of worshipers. That is a methodology. While Bowers and Roof don’t know each other personally their aspirations to instill fear and loathing to a greater community of people through a common methodology begins to prove the ideology and it’s highly organized understanding to act to kill.

The White Supremist community, if you can call it that, is organized around hate. They have no other higher moral purpose or desire. Their ideology is hate based and seeks the goal of mass killings to achieve a genocide. That cannot or should be ignored.

Of course, this is a hate crime and Bowers should be charged criminally as such, but, it is also more, far more. It is time White Supremacists are seen for WHAT they are and that is a domestic group of killers waiting for an opportunity for victory to their ideology.
