Tennessee Shooting Suspect May Have Sought Revenge for Charleston Massacre

WASHINGTON — A note found in the car of a man charged with spraying deadly gunfire at a Tennessee church made reference to revenge for a white supremacist's massacre at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina, two years earlier, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.

The note could offer a glimpse into Emanuel Kidega Samson's mindset at the time of Sunday's shooting and a possible motive for the rampage, which killed a woman and wounded six other people. The Associated Press has not viewed the note, but it was summarized in an investigative report circulating among law enforcement. Two officials read to AP from the note.

The report said that "in sum and in no way verbatim," the note referenced revenge or retaliation for Dylann Roof, the white supremacist who killed nine black worshippers at a South Carolina church in 2015 and has since been sentenced to death.

Will black statues need to be torn down, like Confederate ones needed to be after Dylann Roof?

and the silence of this on MSM is deafening ..... biased prejudiced liberal liars

That's it, change the name of all those streets renamed to “Martin Luther King Boulevard" or something similar.

Change the names to "Din Do Nuffin' Boulevard" or, "Blacks Nevah be Raciss Highway".

[SharpRightTurn]

Black racism with this guy like white racism with Roof.

Outlaw the Only Black Live Matter idiots, the NAALCP, the Congressional Black Caucasians, and other supremacist groups that divide us instead of uniting us.

IOW, it was a hate crime.

Will it be treated and tried as such?

I doubt it.

[a fool in paradise]

This is acceptable in the eyes of AuntiFah.

Have they ever released the races of the victims?

ff

[Lopeover]

Geeze, they are attempting to make this about the black church shooting, instead that this person may be a practitioner of Islam.

Whst is this Charleston massacre?
I must have missed it.
I only heard of one woman who died when she was run down by a car. Unless the definition of a massacre has changed since I last looked, that doesn't even come close to being s massacre.
NBC justifying left wing violence again? So whats nrw?

[Verginius Rufus]

They are referring to the massacre at a church in 2015—9 black people murdered by Dylann Roof.

[Verginius Rufus]

The woman was killed in Charlottesville, Virginia (named for Queen Charlotte). The massacre was in Charleston, S.C. (named for King Charles).

Maybe we need to change the names of cities and counties named after British royalty.

[sargon]

What is this Charleston massacre?

I must have missed it.

You're not thinking back far enough, and you're confusing Charleston with Charlottsville.

Chill out...

[SmokingJoe]

Aaah.
My mistake. I confused it with Chalortesville.

[zerosix]

Uh, this is a lie, the TN shooter is a "refugee," not an American black with a chip on his shoulder chanting BLM "racist" crap!

Besides being from Africa, he also is a Muslim just like the ones driving trucks into and shooting people in Europe!!!

Give up on the attempt to foment a race war claiming one church shooting as "revenge" over another!

This is all about a lying cult (Islam) vs Christianity!

[SmokingJoe]

Yes I was. Apologies.

Stick him and Dylan Roof in the same prison cell.
