A childhood friend has offered a very different view of the young man accused of murdering nine people in a South Carolina church. Caleb Brown was good friends with Dylann Roof from grade school until high school, and the boy he knew is nothing like the man described by Roof's more recent acquaintances.
Drugs did him in.
In the writings on the site believed to be Roof’s, he said that the Trayvon Martin case is what set him off and started him on the road to deciding he had to take some action. This story adds more evidence that Roof might have turned racist and paranoid within the past year or two.
The earliest anyone has mentioned these tendencies seems to be the friend who noticed it within the past year.
Prescribed Psychiatric Drugs
Drugs will help the elites end the Second Amendment.

...
He’s not the only one that Obama has caused to snap.
Apparently.
If the msm suddenly drops the story, we’ll know.
Drugs or no drugs...he’s crazy and needs to be put down. He’ll hang around now for the next 10 years while being used as an example of white hate.
The progressive liberals will never acknowledge that, it does not fit well nor promote their divide and conquer agenda.
Yep, based on the evidence so far, Roof does seemed to have started down the path based on an event Obama (and Holder and many others) injected himself into inappropriately.
Obama and the left have done more to destroy race relations than anything else..and that is their intent..everyday they do everything it takes to make us all hate each other
Do we know this as a fact yet?
Hillary might have to revise her remarks about whose comments might have worked on Roof's troubled mind. It wasn't Trump.
Those flags were PHOTOSHOPPED onto his jacket, btw.
Nobody wants to say that, though, cuz they think they’ll be tarred as a racist themselves.
They’re afraid as appearing as defending him.

Call it "the Obama Effect". He stirs up racism with everything he does. I hadn't given a thought to race or racism in decades, but since Obama came along, everything has to be looked at now through the prism of "Racism."
Obama himself is the instigator and promoter of deliberate racism, and this is causing resentment and ramping up hatred. Obnoxious, Lazy, Stupid, Ignorant, and Defiant Obama is the source of the trend towards more racism.
Professional agitators, and Hillary! is one, tell stories that they believe will have a certain effect. Deliberate lies, "gaslighting," are effective. "Truth" and "falsehood" are accidental byproducts of the chosen narrative.
I agree, Obama and Holder for about six years and Lynch seems to be picking up where Holder left off.
I agree. The non-stop media coverage and agenda of black thugs as innocent victims set him on this path. The medications may have altered his mind too much to be just angry about it, but to become consummed by it.
My verdict: drugs-30% media-70%
He was a weak link, but this event lies at the media’s doorstep.
I have sometimes wondered if the overplay on Martin and later on Brown wouldn’t have some serious repercussions related to race.
I don’t take pleasure in saying this, but it’s my take that people could easily observe the racism emanating from some Blacks and react quite negatively.
Is that what happened here? It may be.
I think that’s what the evidence will show and the MSM will deny to the end of time: Events set his impressionable mind to fixating on racial matters and then drugs turned it into an obsession and made it seem logical to do what he did.
Yes, the effects on a weak link.
