Protesters in South Carolina have begun burning Confederate flags and defacing monuments as the debate as to whether or not the flag should fly over the state's capital intensifies in the wake of Wednesday's brutal massacre that saw nine people murdered because they were black.
Dylann Roof has been charged with nine counts of murder after attending a Bible study class at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston and then opening fire on those in attendance.
It has been reported that when asked to stop during the brutal killings, Roof said; 'No, you've raped our women, and you are taking over the country ... I have to do what I have to do.'
Now, many in the state and around the country are outraged that despite Roof's admitted racial motivation the flag has not been taken down.
Making many even more upset is the fact that Roof frequently posed with the Confederate flag, implying a greater allegiance to that flag than the American flag.

If anyone wants to start one of those, its the liberals’ own lunatic Black Panthers.
Blame the crazy idiot who “used” the flag and gun for his demonic deeds!
Not the flag!
Exact article already posted and into 2nd page of comments.
Never let a marketing opportunity go to waste.
The race hate industry never sleeps, and there are of plenty of useful idiots to get on the bus.
His choice was not random, and fans of his favorite flag ought to sit down and ask themselves why.
Are these imported protesters? It doesn’t sound like Charleston types.
Problem is, Stars and Stripes are becoming to be viewed the same way by the left just as the Union Jack in the UK. Considered too ‘nationalistic’ (oh, the horror).
We have the power to evangelize the world, right here IF we pass this around with a short personal note from you (and your list) that the Grace of God IS shed abroad ... and the hearts of these saints are out for all to see
Code Pink was on the scene this morning. Good chance they were there last night as we’ll
Correct. But Roof wanted to express something besides nationalism.
Don’t be fooled by their latest distraction.
that’s never happenned before
He misunderstands and misused the flag as a symbol of his own hatred. Why would anyone waste his time pondering the motivations of a loon?
Sounds to me like you might have a problem with the flag yourself......
