RICHLAND COUNTY, SC The younger sister of Dylann Roof, who murdered nine black parishioners during bible study at a Charleston church, was arrested and charged Wednesday for possessing drugs and weapons on school grounds.

Morgan Roof, 18, was charged with charged with simple possession of marijuana and two counts of carrying weapons on school grounds., according to the Richland County Sheriff's Department, which confirmed her relationship to Dylann Roof.

Morgan Roof had also made a social media post on Snapchat which caused alarm to the student body.

In it, Morgan Roof said she hoped the students participating in the National Walkout Day protesting gun violence would "get shot."

Students across the U.S. participated in the walkout, including many at schools in the Midlands and Columbia. AC Flora was one of the participating schools.

Based on what Morgan Roof posted online, she disagreed with the walkout. What struck a nerve was her comment that "we know it's fixing to be nothing but black people walkin out anyway."

After her brother murdered nine black people at a church he purposely selected because of it's black parishioners, he told FBI agents he was hoping to start a race war.

"Your walking out for the allowed time of 17min, they are letting you do this, nothing is gonna change what do you think it's gonna do? I hope it's a trap and y'all get shot we know it's fixing to be nothing but black people walkin out anyway. No offense buuut."

On the weapons and drug possession charges, a school resource officer was contacted by a school administrator, in reference to a Roof being in possession of marijuana, pepper spray, and a knife, according to the sheriff's department.

No students were harmed as a result of this incident, the sheriff's department said.

Roof was taken to the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said the school’s administrative staff acted appropriately by calling in the SRO to arrest Roof for violating school policy.

Dylann Roof, a self-avowed white supremacist, killed nine black parishioners in June 2015 during a bible study session at Charleston's historic Mother Emanuel AME Church.

Roof pleaded to nine counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder. He is on death row in Indiana.

Does anyone really sound that stupid? It's like a TV show parody of what some Hollyweirdo thinks an ignorant racist would sound like.

As opposed to the educated racists on MSNBC and CNN.

She's just a crazy "Cracker" who tried to make her personal opinion and points abysmally.

Of course this girl is mentally ill if any of this is true.

The sad thing is that if her skin color were different, this story would be written differently. I am not defending this rhetoric and failure of society but she is now another useful tool of the left.
