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.”

Didn’t take long for Daily Beast to get this info out right away, to establish the narrative first.
Whatever ‘strong conservative beliefs’ in Daily Beast writers’ mind could be interpreted as they please.
[Note I am not defending the perp]
"Many of Roof’s Facebook friends, including those from his high school, are black. The cousin of the church’s pastor who was killed quoted a survivor who said Roof told the church: “I have to do it. You’re raping our women and taking over the country. You have to go.”"
Drugs? Bat**** crazy? Drugs AND bat**** crazy?
The narrative will change and quiet down over the next several days after his "true" affiliations come out, just like all the others.....bet on it.
Mom and dad probably bought him the gun with all of the money they saved on the salad bowl haircuts.
Where have you been?
Someone posts on Twitter, "I know that guy! I went to school with him!"
A journalist PM's him back, "I'm a reporter. Please call me ASAP."
That took a minute.
I'm sure there are a few more surprises in his head.
You have your cause and effect backwards. He was a racist, which by definition made him a racist.
My gosh, the IQ is astonishing......, Did he by chance graduate with the Sweathogs?
an stuff like that???????? impressive. Yep sure, I believe him/s
Ok, Gun People: Don’t give guns to your obviously crazy relatives.
Such as? I didn't see any "strong conservative beliefs" described in that article. I would not call taking drugs and killing innocent people "strong conservative beliefs."
I hate posting from my phone
Was he a Dittohead? That’s going to be key!
“Was he a Dittohead? That’s going to be key!”
Thanks a lot, he is now.
Yeah, let the “conservative” narrative get started by the Leftard Media right away.
Morons.
“strong conservative beliefs,’ and made a ‘lot of racist jokes”. But I thought that was a fact that those things go hand in hand. Uh, maybe not. Suppose robert bird ever made any racist jokes? Nah. Forbidden by KKK bylaws. Oh, wait.
Hatred of people with dark skin is not a Conservative value.
That’s just a damned lie.
Hope SC fries with piece of filth and soon.
Xanax is a benzodiazepine (BZD), similar to Klonopin, Versed, Valium and Ativan.
It is an entirely different class of drugs than SSRIs.
There are many abusers of BZDs, to the extent that they are tested for in employment drug screens. It is nearly impossible to abuse an SSRI.
This "boy" you speak of is 21 years old. After the therapy you recommend for him perhaps he can be released into your care and custody.
P.S. your brief posting history suggests you are a liberal troll.
I gotta check the VRWC manual. I don’t see ‘strong conservative beliefs’ listed under being a druggie.
...
That’s under the Libertarian manual. They frequently like to disguise themselves as Conservatives.
