On “The 700 Club” today, televangelist Pat Robertson linked last night’s mass shooting in Las Vegas to a disrespect for President Trump, the national anthem and God.

“Violence in the streets, ladies and gentlemen. Why is it happening?” he asked. “The fact that we have disrespect for authority; there is profound disrespect for our president, all across this nation they say terrible things about him. It’s in the news, it’s in other places. There is disrespect now for our national anthem, disrespect for our veterans, disrespect for the institutions of our government, disrespect for the court system. All the way up and down the line, disrespect.”

“Until there is biblical authority,” Robertson continued, “there has to be some controlling authority in our society and there is none. And when there is no vision of God, the people run amok … and we have taken from the American people the vision of God, the whole idea of reward and punishment, an ultimate judge of all our actions, we’ve taken that away. When there is no vision of God, the people run amok.”

The number of victims would be way higher if the guy used a silencer/suppressor on his rifles.

The huge crowd would be oblivious to the fact that people are dying for a long time, and it would be impossible to quickly locate the guy in a hotel.

So you quoted a blithering idiot who in no ways speaks for 99.9% of Christians or Americans. So whats your point?

700 club is viewed in 138 countries by 360 million people yearly and receives 11,000 calls per day. You may want to check your math if you think that represents .1% of Christians.

Flags have been lowered at Okanagan College's Kelowna campus in memory of a B.C. man killed in Las Vegas.

Jordan McIldoon, 23, of Maple Ridge, was a heavy mechanical apprenticeship student at the college.

McIldoon was among 59 people slain in Sunday night's massacre.

He first came to Okanagan College in 2013, went on to complete level three of his apprenticeship in 2016 and was registered to attend level four this fall.

"We are shocked and saddened by the news of Jordan's death," Steve Moores, dean of trades and apprenticeship wrote in email to college staff that was shared with Castanet.

"He was an excellent student with a very promising career ahead of him."

McIldoon's death made international headlines after a Las Vegas woman stayed with him for hours, speaking with his mother and girlfriend, ensuring he wasn't left alone, until emergency personnel arrived.
