The man accused of killing nine inside a black church wore pro-apartheid flags, held ‘strong conservative beliefs,’ and made a ‘lot of racist jokes.’
Police said they have arrested Dylann Storm Roof, the suspected killer of nine people at an historic black church in Charleston. Roof, 21, is from Lexington, South Carolina and was taken into custody in Shelby County, North Carolina. At a press conference, police chief Greg Mullen said a citizen's tip led police to his car. He would not comment on whether weapons were found in the vehicle, but said Roof was "cooperative."

Roof’s father gave him a .45-caliber pistol for his birthday, according to uncle Charles Cowles. The uncle said he recognized Roof from the police photo and “described him as quiet and soft-spoken,” according to Reuters.
John Mullins, who went to high school with Roof, told The Daily Beast that he remembers him as being “kind of wild.”
“He used drugs heavily a lot,” Mullins said. “It obviously harder than marijuana. He was like a pill popper, from what I understood. Like Xanax, and stuff like that.”

After the shooting, Roof told the church: “I have to do it. You’re raping our women and taking over the country. You have to go.”
Give your kid a gun who does lots of drugs?
What could go wrong???
““He used drugs heavily a lot,” Mullins said. “It obviously harder than marijuana. He was like a pill popper, from what I understood. Like Xanax, and stuff like that.””
I gotta check the VRWC manual. I don’t see ‘strong conservative beliefs’ listed under being a druggie.
NOT strong conservative beliefs.
“He used drugs heavily a lot,” Mullins said. “It obviously harder than marijuana. He was like a pill popper, from what I understood. Like Xanax, and stuff like that.”
He is a freak and out of his mind.
He is not a man. He is an animal.
And the smearing of conservatives continues...
Conservative? BS. His beliefs are old school democrat.
Conservative? BS. His beliefs are old school democrat.
Did they say he was a Tea Party member yet?
I expect the drive-bys to run with that.
Apartheid didn’t exist in Rhodesia, it’s a Afrikaans word after all.
Thanks to this idiot, another misconception continues to be propagated.
The article said he had a Confederate Battle flag on his car and was a Conservative which made him, by default, a racist.
There is some question (H/T to Louis) if the pic with the flag jacket is him, or someone else - the Facebook page is denying it at this hour.
Oh their gonna shoehorn this one in, they haven’t ever been able to pin a shooting on Conservatives so they’re just gonna out and out lie about it........it’s too close to a presidential election not to.
The men were standing in the 900 block of North Lorel about
6:20 p.m. when an armed male walked up and fired numerous shots, police said

None of the shooters were white though. Not news.
Everything “known” should be “rumored.’
What could go wrong???
Parents are often in denial over their kids' drug usage.
Had it not been for the S.C. Law that prevented the good people of that congregation having the right to be armed in that building.. he may well not have gone there to do his evil deeds (may his name be unwritten and forgotten)
Had one of the people had been of the ‘deacons for defense” mindset while this “man” made what ever statements he made there would have been a chance that they would have been his last words.

The first article last night on Yahoo began with “A white man....”
Similar stories would go like this: “Three men raped, robbed and beat an 80 year old woman as she left her house last night. Police are looking for three men believed to be in their mid to late twenties. One was wearing a red shirt.” From the story you wouldn’t know if he was a green martian.
He’s crazy, and needs electroshock therapy. About 2000 volts at 20 amps ought to straighten him out.
““He used drugs heavily a lot,” Mullins said. “It obviously harder than marijuana. He was like a pill popper, from what I understood. Like Xanax, and stuff like that.””
Born in the 90s. Heavy on the meds and pills.
Headcase to the extreme. Would not be surprised if you find all types of satanic crap in his room. He certainly looks like someone that still lives at home.
