On another note, someone is indicating that there are some discrepancies about the video the perp made during the attack. Video seems to indicate a white hand holding the gun and a blue shirt sleeve when other reports indicate the perp was dressed all in black. What's up with that? Anyone seen anything similar posited?
My mind is made up. Do not try to confuse me with the facts or the truth. Heavy sarcasm font.
He was a very light skinned black man.
The hatred was building in this guy for a long time. Does anyone believe he could not have killed his victims some other way if he wanted to?
I watched that video. Yeah it’s a dark, blue shirt. Yet from the perspective of the crew at the station (it was still dusk at that time of morning) it did appear in the short moment the killer could be seen he was in all black.
Mind you the guy had a rental car and plenty of time to do other things between the shooting and when it was caught up to and killed himself. Change clothes even maybe? Who knows? Doubt we’ll ever have the events that occurred between them murder and end of it all.
Dylann Roof: “The cause was a racist who worshipped symbols of hate! Ban the Confederate Flag and blame this racist shooter!”

The sad truth is that you will never be able to control violence, whether it be committed by guns, knives, baseball bats or whatever. The only ounce of prevention available is identification of individuals likely to commit such acts. However, thanks to lawyers and expressly those who argue civil rights, this will never be implemented. For example, subject shows violent tendencies at work. Management was slow to discharge him, most likely because he held a race card. Subject files a lawsuit and, per his manifesto, wins. Truth be known, lawyers probably negotiated a small settlement in lieu of protracted court time and legal fees. However, nothing goes on his record. Had he seen a psychiatrist, we would know nothing thanks to privacy laws. So how do we identify the individual about to explode? We can’t. Statistics will play out and every once in a while we will have a horrendous act such as this. Accept it but put efforts to reduce crime into known areas promoting violence, such as gangs, drug infested communities, etc. This will not be done by Democrats because it is hard, involves risk, and does not affect the general populace which they hope to totally control one day.
Then later a black guy who used to work at the station commits suicide with the same gun. I wonder where he found it and what are the odds?
All reporters should be armed with guncameras a’ la A10 Warthogs.
