Good!
He deserves it for murder, of course. But, I suspect there’s a racial political push here, too. There’s not much the DOJ does these days that doesn’t have political overtones.
Yeah, I would say killing half a dozen people at a Bible Study merits the death penalty.
Surprised it took them this long.
Why are the feds prosecuting and not the state?
Forced to wonder, how often does the DOJ seek the death penalty and in which cases?
Hopefully, one day, everyone will be able to agree to execute scum like this and his race won’t matter. White or black, if you shoot up a Bible study, you deserve to die.
Oh, so now libs love the death penalty.
Why are the feds prosecuting a state crime?
What about the Africans that have murdered white people Lynch? Remember the one in Oregon a few months ago? Or is justice to Lynch whitey only?. Racial preferences even when it comes to murder—this is the Lynch mentality.
Whatever sentence he gets, I hope he can repent and sincerely seek mercy from the Lord before he dies--- or there's worse coming.
Will they do the same for the San Bernardino wiser and abettor?
As it should be.
However, it’ll just stir the pot on the Confederacy and #BLM.
It wasn’t the Confederate Battle Flag Roof referenced in his so called “manifesto”. But the use of the Bully Pulpit and the murders that resulted from the Zimmerman trial that he used as his “rationale”. But anyone want to bet that gets to be allowed to be used by his defence team ?
Let’s give him six death penalties simultaneously.
Something bothers me about this but I can’t quite put my finger on it yet.
Will this punk get royal treatment a-la Mumiah Abu Jama, the cop killer, by anyone? Will he be martyred a-la Tookie Williams by anyone?
I could be wrong, but it became a federal issue when Roof fled into North Carolina, crossing a state line. Also, this is the very definition of a hate crime, and provably so, as his writings and ranting confirm the racial motive. So the Feds have the option to remand to the state, but chose to pursue it themselves.
Obama wasn’t about to squander this opportunity, it’ll be part of his legacy to convict and secure the death penalty for Dylan Roof. I’m good with that.
Roof’s defense may have a case for insanity defense, but the people of Charleston deserve the kind of justice that, in this case, only the death penalty will provide, IMHO.
Death penalty is appropriate but why are Federal prosecutors going for the death penalty instead of state prosecutors? When did this become a federal crime?
