Charleston shooter Dylann Storm Root recently made remarks to a close friend about the Trayvon Martin shooting and the violent rioting in Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray.

Baltimore protesters torched 61 buildings, damaged 350 businessses, amd injured 113 police officers in May riots.

The Chicago Tribune reported:

“In an interview with The Associated Press, Joseph Meek Jr. said he and Roof had been best friends in middle school but lost touch when Roof moved away about five years ago. The two reconnected a few weeks ago after Roof reached out to Meek on Facebook, Meek said.

Roof never talked about race years ago when they were friends, but recently made remarks out of the blue about the killing of unarmed black 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida and the riots in Baltimore over the death of Freddie Gray in police custody, Meek said.

“He said blacks were taking over the world. Someone needed to do something about it for the white race,” Meek said. “He said he wanted segregation between whites and blacks. I said, ‘That’s not the way it should be.’ But he kept talking about it.”

He said that when he woke up Wednesday morning, Roof was at his house, sleeping in his car outside. Later that day, Meek went to a lake with a couple of other people, but Roof hated the outdoors and decided he would rather go see a movie.

Meek said he didn’t see his friend again until a surveillance-camera image of a young man with a soup-bowl haircut was broadcast on television Thursday morning in the wake of the shooting. Meek said he didn’t think twice about calling authorities.

“I didn’t THINK it was him. I KNEW it was him,” he said.

Dylann Roof reportedly planned the mass shooting for six months.

False flag (or black flag) describes covert operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by entities, groups, or nations other than those who actually planned and executed them.

Generally the simplest explanation is true.

Do you think this is a false flag? I don’t see anything indicating that. We have not heard from the accused yet, but the Facebook posting and now this info seems to indicate he did the deed, and had a motivation for doing it.

Drudge is reporting that in his headline.

Wow! I almost hate to be right about that.

Why in the world would a 21 year old mention Apartheid in South Africa ? Where did that come from ? Who even talks about that now.

And evidently Suboxone (yes, another psycho pushed into homicide by ‘medication’).

He, like many others, was a simple ballistic missile.

You would be amazed at what you can get a person to do just by talking to them, and altering their medications. You light their fuse, and they will land somewhere and explode. Where they land and who they kill is not important. Just that they do.

Dear Leader has been raising racial tensions since the Beer Summit. Will the press or anyone in the GOP hold him accountable?

Wasn’t this the reason the racists were stirring up the blacks? Actually, 9 black dead is a slow weekend in Baltimore.

Pray America is waking

Yes, but those are usually black shooters. Makes all the difference to the left.

Ha...you need to get out a bit more....

No 1 person who has retribution for Apartheid and what they did to his father is Obama.....details in his 2 autobiographies....

Aficionados of Black Liberation Theory are also big on this....

My guess is that the crazy shooter is self identifying as a persecuted Black...like a male version of Rachel Dolezal, the former NAACP chapter president.

I read somewhere last year....cops get briefed now on how to recognize unfocused/medicated people and sounded to me like that’s the hint to draw the taser and not waste any time with the ‘nut’.
