Gold’s Gym Is Being Harassed On Twitter Over Photos Of The Charleston Shooting Suspect
BuzzFeed ^ | 6/21/2015 | Stephanie McNeal

On Saturday, a racist online manifesto that appears to belong to the suspect in the Charleston church massacre was uncovered.

The website, called The Last Rhodesian, purports to detail the racist thoughts of 21-year-old Dylann Roof.

[snip]

The website also features several photos of Roof doing things such as burning the American flag. In some of the photos, he is wearing a tank top from Gold’s Gym.

Since the pictures have been released, people have been directing anger or sarcasm at Gold’s Gym online.

Others say they will cancel their Gold’s Gym membership in protest.

Some users even believed Roof was a “spokesman” for the gym.

Some are accusing the gym of being somehow complicit in the tragedy.

That shirt has much to do with racism as the CSA battle flag (none). But today’s society is not about logic, it is about retreating from logic to pacify the lunatic libtards on the left. Keeping them calm and surrendering ground to them is what life in the obanation is about.

Why bother them? From the pictures it doesn’t look like he used the gym much.

I hope they do discontinue their memberships. Why should Gold’s Gym have to put up with the perpetually offended on any of their premises?

DANG!

I remember in the initial description they went out of the way in saying what brand of boots he had on. Hate mail headed their way soon too, probably.

Probably just went for the locker room/shower aspect.

I bet he was a homo and they’re not telling us.

Probably the same people blaming a flag.
