Heritage not hate! /s

His middle name is seriously Storm? How did that surname become associated with white supremacy?

When all you have is a hammer, everything around you looks like a nail.

When guns are free-flowing like water, the world is full of juicy targets.

Intelligence failure by fbi.

The fbi could have devoted more attention to the real mass murderers, instead of fraudulently accusing ex fbi agent whistleblower of such atrocities:

Way to go, publicizing this dirtbag's name and picture.

You're giving this reprehensible asshole everything he craved. The media is part of the problem and yet you deny any complicity whatsoever, piously cloaking yourself in the first amendment while banking your advertising revenue.

Fuck you.

@4 - Hmm i can think of a few reasons a person wouldn't want this news publicized and at the top of the list is that person agrees with the killer's views, but worries his actions make people like them look bad. So yeah, Im just going to go ahead and assume you are racist filth, or a gun nut, or probably both.

Friends of Dylann Roof said he had openly boasted planning a massacre, but what is equally disturbing is that Roof had been arrested 2 times earlier this year, first, after scoping a shopping mall and asking when workers came and left (he would be found to have drugs on him) and secondly when he returned to the mall's roof, 2 months later taking logistics. Why? Had he being planning a massacre back then? And were blacks always his target and why did he in the end settle on the church?

They have to keep that flag at full mast... It's in the statute:

Hmm, so yeah.

If' you're going to 'assume' that I'm a racist gun-nut from my post, then I'm going to 'assume' you're a moron... or at least a disingenuous prick.

Anyone with an IQ above room temperature can plainly see that I'm calling out the media in the U.S. and their fetishization of deranged mass killers, which contributes greatly to more mass killings.

If you're a deranged loner who's life is at a dead end, instead of simply killing yourself, why not go out in a 'Blaze Of Glory' and become a cable news and Internet sensation?

That's their motive, and if you can't understand that then you really are a moron and not merely a disingenuous prick.

Grammar correction: 'whose'

Next article you write, tell us how much better life is in your native land, since 1980. Willing to bet you a billion (Zim) dollars that you won't!

@11: you must be new here and incapable of doing a basic search. Charles has written repeatedly about how fucked Zimbabwe is under Mugabe. But, I'm thinking that wasn't really the point of your comment was it?

The flag should flown upside down.

the confederate flag is super racist.

the american flag that represents the 'greatest' nation on earth and flew high throughout slavery, the genocide of the indians, segregation and all the military actions against poor 3rd world nations ??? super freedom?

@9 - actually you just sound like a concern troll desperately trying to change the subject.

One thing I note about all these Happy Warriors. They seem to choose the most defenseless victims.

So, okay, American Boer Dylan Storm Roof wants to fight the Invisible Bantus invading his shopping mall. What does he do? Goes into a church and shoots little old ladies. James Holmes wants to attack time travelling ghosts. Shoots up young couples in the dark. Adam Lanza wants to revenge his treatment by brazen schoolteachers. Shoots schoolkids instead!

Why the asymmetrical nature of these killings? Extreme firepower versus complete defenselessness. At least General Lee went up against the entire Union Army (and lost by the way, South Carolina, in case you didn't hear). With the meth fueled biker gangs (or any urban gang) it's man against man, gun vs gun. No one goes into it unknowingly. Symmetrical warfare is a man's game.

Now he's in jail with quite a few of his favorite people, I imagine. What's the over/under on how many months he makes it before being no-longer'd?

Is there any links available to the actual crime scene?
Having a difficult time believing anyone could possibly spend an hour at a prayer meeting with 9 people then just shoot them to death.

@16 it's the uhmerican way. usa will have a 50 year stand off with communist russia but won't think twice about invading an iraq or afghanistan.
