The gunman who killed nine people during a Bible study meeting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, spewed a message of hate. Sylvia Johnson—a cousin of church pastor Clementa Pinckney, who was killed in the attack—says a survivor told her the gunman reloaded five times. “He just said ‘I have to do it,’” Johnson reports the survivor saying. “‘You rape our women and you’re taking over the country. You have to go.’” Earlier, a local NAACP official said the killer told one woman, who has not been identified, that she was allowed to live so that she can tell everyone else what happened. Police confirmed that at least three people survived the attack, and that the gunman sat with the prayer group for at least an hour before he began to shoot.
Well look close. He didn’t shoot any Muslims.
Schizophrenia is a brain disorder,a disorder of the brain's structure and/or chemical balances.One doesn't *choose* to be a schizophrenic any more than one *chooses* to be born blind.If he's a schizophrenic he can't honestly be classified as a psychopath.And as for "racist",you'd be surprised what delusions a schizophrenic can have.I know..I worked in a big city ER for years and dealt with many,*many* schizophrenics.
OTOH,racist and psychopath can certainly go together...and,IMO,very often do.
Willie Sutton said he robbed banks because that was where the money is
Roof killed at Wednesday night prayer meeting because that’s where docile black people were
He’s got 89 facebook friends. Around 30 of them are black.
You obviously didn’t see the initial pics on FR about an hour and a half ago of a guy in sweat shirt hoody (grey or white), wearing some kind of hat, with dark tan skin. Some remarked that it looked like he had white sunscreen on his nose.
Oh, and you need to brush up on your debating skills.
Oh, I know. I was just making a point about "hate crimes." If he shot a bunch of people at a church meeting, you just as easily say, based on that alone, that it was a hate crime against Christians.
I don't like the whole concept of "hate crimes." To murder nine innocent people, whatever the reason, is crime enough. Also, this shooting will give "ammo" to the race hustlers like Sharpton and the media, while the truth is, the overwhelming proportion of interracial violent crime is black against white. But that gets ignored, while this will be played up big-time.
Most likely. Teens can have extremely inappropriate responses. But actual causes must not be allowed to interfere with the narrative.
He must be simply a ‘white’ hater- so say the Gods of the Public Square.
Neither do I. A crime is a crime.
‘Daily Beast’? Please.
Searching up the shooter’s named led me straight to Think Progress, who seems to have scooped everyone with the ID. But then, Atty gen Lynch is good friends with the progressives.
What’s the round patch?
he was not wearing a hat, that was his goofy haircut, same haircut as in the picture on facebook.
Your witness.
This is a race baiter’s dream come true. Interestingly, they were losing the argument and their credibility. This will re-focus the narrative and give gratification to those who have been preaching hate and racism. Sadly, the Al Sharpton crowd are responsible for this, only a matter of time before a white kook acted out.
Prayers up to these people and their families.
BLAME drugs......
THX
“Schizophrenia”
Well he was busted for drugs. There does seem to be a connection between Pot use and Schizophrenia in young adults. But if so it must not have been diagnosed otherwise the Dad is in a heep of trouble for giving hmm a 45.for his bd.
There is exactly one person to blame for this & hopefully he is caught soon & brought to justice.
Fair point. I guess it would have been more accurate to say “why not some combination of the three?”
sounds like programming....
convenient timing...
Bad pic I guess. They are saying his uncle identified him from the security photo.
