Dylann Roof case: Feds to seek death penalty
CNN ^

Posted on 05/25/2016 5:36:17 PM PDT by ErikJohnsky

Federal prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Dylann Roof, who is accused of killing nine people at a historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina, in July 2015.

Roof, who is white, is charged with 33 federal offenses, including hate crime charges for allegedly targeting his victims on the basis of their race and religion. A judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf in July 2015. "The nature of the alleged crime and the resulting harm compelled this decision," Attorney General Loretta Lynch said.

Why does this need to be a Federal offense? South Carolina should be perfectly able to off this loser. Okay, I know why it is, hate crime, bias, blah, blah, but if none of those were Federal offenses, Roof would still be looking at a well-deserved frying.

Yes, he deserves it, but the point is that the Obama admin is only doing this because he is white and the victims were black. Flip it around, and I'm sure they would be coming up with all types of excuses to avoid the death penalty. The irony is rich.

He deserves the death penalty at the least for the damage he’s done to the Confederate flag.

“Sorry...he more than deserves it.”

So do all of those who are currently “growing old” on the death rows of most states. I actually applaud Texas’ stance. They follow through and kill those whom they have ajudged guilty. Now if they could just clean up the boil on their state’s a$$ that is Waco, all would be well!

Happy to see him die.

I also know that a black that killed 1000 whites would get a parade by Obama.

That might indeed be true, but it’s not an argument against executing this piece of garbage who killed old ladies praying in Church. He can definitely die and the world will be better because he won’t be in it anymore.

He does, that. But the usual talking heads are on the other side on this. It’s like fun house reality.

I can’t think of a single death penalty that I objected to. Give the thug a fair trial, appropriate appeals, and then execute the murderer as soon as possible.

It’s only racist when a golden calf of the liberal cause (Blacks/Muslims) is convicted.

Roof should swing from a tree as far as I care.

For every one Roof, there are 20 racist blacks deserving the same fate on death row in this corrupt nation.

Let’s see if Major Hassan (Ft. Hood massacre) gets the death penalty. OR Beghdahl gets real jail time.

hey I agree 100%; I’m merely also just amazed how liberals don’t want a color blind death penalty.
