Investigators said they were able to stop the potential massacre at Park Valley Church in Haymarket thanks to someone who saw troubling posts on Instagram and called police
Authorities arrested a man who they say was minutes away from carrying out a mass shooting at a church in Northern Virginia on Sunday morning.
Rui Jiang, 35, was taken into custody with a loaded gun and extra ammo at Park Valley Church in Haymarket. Authorities said he was on a mission to kill.
“This was a thwarted diabolical plot to kill churchgoers in Haymarket, Virginia … and local law enforcement stopped it,” Chief Kevin Davis of the Fairfax County Police Department said.
“Minutes. Minutes. The congregation was making their way into the church. He was in the vestibule of the church about to enter,” Davis said. “So, minutes or seconds away.”
Really?
I was sure that I was in a debate class right now.
Didn’t you say you were done or are you just trying to pick a fight?
i’m tired of this stuff, you know, i left reddit partly because i have seen these comments for hundres of thousands times. Really. Your comments are the same i have seen before. Repetitive. The point is, your attitude wouldn’t work outside of this place. Enough with this altogether. Also the amount of politics i see here is not less than reddit, it’s stupid. I remember now why i never appreciated internet culture either. No picking fights, i need to get this out. I guess we change over time, i’m not one to enjoy these things after a while. And maybe this is exactly the feedback i needed.
So why are you choosing me to unload your issues?
You’re replying to a pretty anti-religion thread yet I’m the only one you’re unloading on?
i am not choosing you, you chose to reply. But that is a valuable thing, unexpected feedback.
Anyway you can be anti-whatever you want but i stay neutra, which means that this place is a stupid way to spend my time.
You chose to jump into my conversation and are choosing to continue to engage after saying you’re done.
Now you’re acting like you’re some martyr because of it and I’m responding because it’s hilarious.

Yeah, ‘civility’. Leaving this goodbye. This isn’t civility, this is just some stupid corner of the Internet. Meaningless.
What did you say to that other user to make them delete all their comments?

Oh, they deleted everything from their comment history which was kind of amusing.
