Tonga! Tonga!

Of all of the places where you expect a mass shooting (hookah bar, historically black college, rap album release party, neighborhood block party in the projects, etc.) where you probably don’t expect one…

At a Mormon “church”.

That is where one just took place on Wednesday night in Salt Lake City, leaving two people dead and six injured.

When I first saw the headline I thought it seemed awfully odd. SLC has a tiny black population of less than 3%, although it does have over 20% of the population listed as mestizos. Then I looked into the story from the Salt Lake Tribune:

What we know the morning after a deadly Salt Lake City shooting at an LDS church

I saw a little nugget that immediately caught my eye…

The church identifies both at Tongan wards, or congregations.

It should read “as Tongan wards”, not “at Tongan wards”. Wards are the Mormon equivalent of a parish, a geographically based church group under the umbrella of a hierarchy of levels within the LDS religion. In this case the building called a “meetinghouse” hosts two wards.

It might seem odd for there to be two wards that are predominantly Tongan but the Mormons proselytize heavily among Pacific Islanders for reasons I won’t get into here.

More….

The deadly shooting outside a Utah church grew out of a dispute between funeral goers, police say

Uh oh, the old drive-by at a funeral trick!

Those killed were clearly not average clean cut Mormon boys

All the shooting victims were adults. Vaea Tulikihihifo, 46, and Sione Vatuvei, 38, were identified as the two people killed.

These were apparently no run of the mill Tongans according to Twitter user Big Rock Insights….

The Crips signature blue was on display and the Corona in a Mormon church is pretty spot on. Nice job importing thousands of Tongans, they seem to be assimilating well.

This is probably one of the only Pacific Islander mass shootings we will get this year so I thought it warranted mention.

    Just as civic nationalism (the practice of trying to assimilate the unassimilable) into the culture of a country and it’s existing people is a complete disaster, so too is the practice of proselytizing to those who are so culturally different and incompatible, in order to bring then into one’s religion. Including tongan crips into the most lily white of religions – Mormonism – is self evidently stupid, for the reasons on full frontal display with this incident. You don’t get more good Mormons from this arrangement, you get the degradation of Mormonism by including those who won’t follow the faith as intended, and instead bring their own corrupting influence to it.

    It’s all so tiresome, to see the same stupid unforced errors made over and over again.

    S2 Underground made this shooting an item in his daily “Wire” report last night on YouTube. He made it sound like the TCG has a lock on SLC and most of Utah and even goes toe-to-toe with MS13 back in SoCal. Tongans are to Mormons as Somalis are to the “Ya Yoobetcha” Swedes and Norwegians of Minnesota.

    Toga party is no time for shooty.
    The Mormons got a hold of the magic underwear.
    Remember Mittens Romney and the 47%?
    Wonder what it is up to now percentage wise.

    FWIW, the LDS church has had a very, very long run doing ‘Missionary Work” in not only the Hawaiian Islands but Tonga and other Pacific Island groups. These pacific islanders, like any other ethnicity, have their good people and their thugs and thugettes. Also, FWIW, Mormons as part of their Ds and Cs do not hold that it is sinful or wrong to lie to or scam “Gentiles”i.e. non-Mormons. I would strongly urge all of you who frequent this site to read Jon Krakauer’s excellent non-fiction book: UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN. When you realize who and what these people really are, it will give you the creeps. And yes, I have family who are LDS. But since I and my tribe are Gentiles, we are not close.

    Yes, Dweez. I agree the Mormons are as scummy as the Muslims in that regard and inbreeding. Some of the polygamist sects are even weirder, if that is possible.
