Maybe for practicality sake they should think about renaming the place. It's not a positive when your town makes headlines and you have to clarify that youre not a white supremacist cult.

Oh for sure.

According to the wikipedia article in 2005 there was a vote to change the town's name to West Settlement and it was rejected by 2388 to 219.
Maybe nowadays it would be different. Maybe not.

Well, I guess they deserve any blowback they get then. I wouldn't be surprised if this attack happened at this church specifically because of the town's name. In the video, the shooter is very blury, but I can tell you this much, he was not white.

Better get some glasses because he's white.
