The pastor told WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh that Polite smiled at him and they made eye contact just before Polite pointed the gun at him.

That’s not very polite.
- He smiled and made eye contact, what more do you want?
  
  Not get shot at would be nice.
That congregant is a fucking hero. No hesitation.
- I'm kinda surprised that they didn't name him, as it seems like he kinda went above-and-beyond and they did name everyone else, but maybe he asked to not be.
Why doesn't God's word count when it is spoken to this man?
- Obviously wasn't God's word, was it?
  
  Obviously it was all just God's will for him to become an antifa deep state false flag actor.
  
  Edit: /s. Just to be clear.
Maybe he forgot to reload after killing Derek Polite. (Who may or may not be related to Bernard Polite.)
