The dust is settling over the LDS church attack that occurred on Sunday. With what’s known about the attacker, I’ll go ahead and make some sounds about it.

But before getting into it, there’s something that I sometimes do when it comes to people who commit particularly infamous crimes: strip them of their old name and brand them with a new one. The guilty party behind the Michigan LDS church attack was previously known as Jake Sanford.

His new name is Dork Dynasty.

On Sunday morning, Dork Dynasty, a 40-year-old Iraq War veteran, rammed his pickup truck into an LDS church, and afterwards got out and began firing on church attendees, while setting fire to the building with the aid of an accellerant. Police showed up and put an end to the rampage, as well as Dork Dynasty himself.

Currently, there are four known fatalities, eight injured, and the LDS building itself was a total loss. Because the LDS is rich, they probably don’t care much about the building.

As for what could have motivated the attacker, leftists behaved predictably. The moment that a MAGA sign was spotted in his yard, and American flags were spotted on his truck, they were all like, “Look! Right-wing violence! That’s gotta be it!” They then plugged their ears and hummed loudly, insisting on hearing no more. Because after incident followed by incident of recent left-wing violence, in their minds, they needed a singular incident of right-wing violence to convince themselves that the other side does it, too.

I could easily debunk them, but who would I really be convincing? No one believes that this was political violence, including the people who say it was. Except the ones who do, who would probably max all their credit cards for NFTs, if left unsupervised.

Interestingly, a politician recalled meeting Dork Dynasty prior to the attack while canvassing. He said that he recalled that his conversation with Dork Dynasty started mundane, but Dork Dynasty pivoted to the Mormon church and what he saw as wrong with them. The politician said that at that point in the conversation, he didn’t know how to answer in a way that was safe, knowing that with this kind of person, it can be difficult to tell what response can set them off.

When I heard this, I felt glad that I no longer work in grocery or retail, or with the general public.

He went on to say that when he saw the attacker’s face on TV, he recognized him as the person he had spoken to, days prior.

Here’s the video:

While the actions of Dork Dynasty were messed up, let’s be honest about the Mormon religion. Mormonism is messed up. But there’s a wrong way to deal with it, and there’s a right way.

Dork Dynasty showed us the wrong way, which enables the victimizing ideology to position itself as the victim, which they can use to present themselves as martyrs, with all the optics that comes with an ideology of martyrs. Considering the huge boost that conservatism got from the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, Dork Dynasty should have known better.

At this point, even people whose primary source of information is state media are hearing about who Charlie Kirk was.

A better way of defeating Mormonism is by telling people what they really believe, and not just the sugar-coated version that’s presented by Mormons themselves.

For example, I heard about a guy who was considering Mormonism, but then took his own life. When his father asked whether they believed his son was in Heaven, they told him no, but that he was burning in Hell because he took his own life. That may be a belief that they sincerely have, but it’s a messed up thing to tell a grieving family.

I suspect that if Mormonism didn’t tell their members such a thing, that may have become one of the main reasons that the Mormons would have lost members. Because death is better than being in that cult.

If people were more discerning, the writings of Joseph Smith would have all the theological significance of Sonichu.

But as for Dork Dynasty, he’s dead now.
