Charleston shooter Dylann Storm Root recently made remarks to a close friend about the Trayvon Martin shooting and the violent rioting in Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray.

Baltimore protesters torched 61 buildings, damaged 350 businessses, amd injured 113 police officers in May riots.

The Chicago Tribune reported:

“In an interview with The Associated Press, Joseph Meek Jr. said he and Roof had been best friends in middle school but lost touch when Roof moved away about five years ago. The two reconnected a few weeks ago after Roof reached out to Meek on Facebook, Meek said.

Roof never talked about race years ago when they were friends, but recently made remarks out of the blue about the killing of unarmed black 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida and the riots in Baltimore over the death of Freddie Gray in police custody, Meek said.

“He said blacks were taking over the world. Someone needed to do something about it for the white race,” Meek said. “He said he wanted segregation between whites and blacks. I said, ‘That’s not the way it should be.’ But he kept talking about it.”

He said that when he woke up Wednesday morning, Roof was at his house, sleeping in his car outside. Later that day, Meek went to a lake with a couple of other people, but Roof hated the outdoors and decided he would rather go see a movie.

Meek said he didn’t see his friend again until a surveillance-camera image of a young man with a soup-bowl haircut was broadcast on television Thursday morning in the wake of the shooting. Meek said he didn’t think twice about calling authorities.

“I didn’t THINK it was him. I KNEW it was him,” he said.

Dylann Roof reportedly planned the mass shooting for six months.

Have you not been paying attention?

He didn’t like black people. As he was shooting, he even proclaimed that blacks were “raping white women.”

Have actually visited with a couple about 15-25 years ago who fled South Africa due to violence after the ending of Apartheid. They were living in Los Angeles. Now they talked about Apartheid and the situation over there. Understandable. But a 21 year old crazed kid who probably never even associated with a white Africaner ? If we start to see more of these types of attacks, we need to find the bunker these psychos are getting programmed in.

That is the Slimes, but interesting that they would promote the whites doing retribution in South Africa story. Interesting timing. Setting the meme ?

Timothy McVeigh was a terrorist POS.

This guy appears to be nothing more than a drug-addled psychotic POS.

But, it’s always good to ask “Cui bono?”

They will fry this guy, and they should, but ANYONE wanna bet they execute the WHITE GUY before they execute the muslame boston bomber?

It only took 5-6 years for McVeigh to be executed, how long for this guy?

Yeah, McVeigh was gone so fast it was almost like someone was afraid he would talk... Not as fast as Oswald, but still.

Could be a false flag, but it also has some merits - with all the obvious tilt towards Blacks being victims and Whites being the oppressive, privileged instigators, it ‘s easy to see how a sick mind would get the proper interpretation of the trends and take inappropriate actions. Words and actions have effects and anyone paying attention knows that the the trend is to decriminalize all violent and criminal activity by Blacks and to criminalize being White.

I believe this more than I believe the complicit (knew what the perp was planning for six months and did not warn authorities) clown roommate who claimed Fox News inspired Dylann Root.
