Agreed...

They certainly look photoshopped.

Drugs did him in.

You're so right about that.

Prescription drugs or illegal drugs.. DRUGS ALTER the MIND.. thus altering an individual's mental perspective. Ofttimes, that ALTERATION does not go in a POSITIVE direction

Very serious territory mostly ignored to favor focusing the discussion on GUNS themselves supposedly being the problem.

GUNS DON"T kill people.. PEOPLE kill people. All too often the introduction of DRUGS adds INSULT to INJURY to these kinds of already festering situations.

I think you are right about it being a combo of drug abuse and mental problem. the two are deadly combo for anyone and especially those that get in the path of the mentally ill

"He never once said anything to me derogatory, racist, anything like that," Brown said. "Otherwise we would have not been friends." Brown said he knew Roof to be a happy, normal kid, but he also said he had not seen him in a year and a half. "That was not inside of him the entire time I knew that kid, or his mom, they were not like that," Brown said. "And I still believe that his mom is one of the greatest people... one of the nicest ladies I've ever met. If something in him turned, then it was recent.

If someone murders him within the next few days I'm going with "Manchurian candidate"... The whole scripted thing about leaving one person alive - planning to kill himself... as if it was a third person... some of it was stranger than just old fashioned evil.
