Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Virginia authorities released a "death note" on Friday in which the Walmart manager who shot and killed six people at his store complained about workplace harassment and asked God for forgiveness.

After the shooting rampage on Tuesday, Andre Bing, an overnight manager at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia, committed suicide.

The attack in a store packed with Thanksgiving shoppers came two days before the holiday and on the heels of a weekend shooting at a Colorado nightclub that killed five people.

Chesapeake authorities, 150 miles (240 kilometers) southeast of the US capital Washington, released a message titled "death note" on Friday, claiming it was found on Bing's phone. "Sorry God I've failed you, this was not your fault but my own," it said. "I was harassed by idiots with low intelligence and a lack of wisdom."

"I was just as guilty and failed my management team and everyone that ever loved me by convincing them that I was normal," the note said.

Bing apologized saying, "Sorry everyone but I did not plan this. I promise things just fell in place like I was led by the Satan... I wish that I could have saved everyone from myself."

"May God forgive me for what I'm going to do."

Chesapeake city officials also revealed on Friday that Bing legally purchased the 9mm handgun used in the shooting the day before the attack.

Police reports revealed that six people were killed and four wounded when Bing entered a staff break room around 10:00 pm and opened fire.

It was the second mass shooting in Virginia this month.

Earlier this month, three University of Virginia football players were shot dead and two other students were wounded by a classmate after a school field trip on November 13.

So far in 2022, the Gun Violence Archive website has tracked more than 600 mass shootings in the United States -- defined as an incident with four or more people shot or killed, not including the shooter.
