Comment made by the shooter during this senseless act-

The survivor’s son “was trying to talk him out of doing the act of killing people,” Johnson said. “He just said ‘I have to do it.’ He said, ‘You rape our women, and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go.’”

He didn't just start shooting from the back of the church, he actually walked up to each individual and shot them close range.

I am glad he got caught.

He needs to get a fair trial and if the evidence is clear, needs to be convicted and sentenced. South Carolina still has the death penalty so I figure that will be what the prosecution will go for.

They should! Call him what you want, he's a murderer facing 9 counts of first degree murder! Signed, sealed and delivered to the needle in the arm, as far as I'm concerned!

You know how those Brits they love their titles. I guess it carries over to all situations in life. 9 people dead and they're worried about how the murderer(s) should be recognized.

Too much face time



I'm sure this tragedy was racially motivated, but I also strongly suspect that the racism in this case is a by-product of severe mental illness.

And what it really should do is finally convince people to restrict gun ownership to the mentally ill.

Ironic it should be South Carolina. Too small to be a nation. Too large to be a mental institution.

I say domestic terrorism. Interesting this comes a week after timothy mcveigh was executed for the Oklahoma City bombings years ago. At first thought it was an isis or Al Quaida calling but the oklahoma city bombings are still fresh in many people's minds today.

It's sad that a lowlife scum had to go this way trying to press his believes that some group of people are a blight on his country.

My thoughts are out with the families of the victims of this tragic event.

Jon Stewart with a monologue on the subject pretty much summing it up :
Jon Stewart on Charleston Shooting: 'This Is a Terrorist Attack
Quote:
Jon Stewart was not in the mood for political jokes or humor on Thursday’s “Daily Show.” The outgoing host, in addressing Wednesday’s deadly shooting in Charleston, South Carolina that left 9 people dead, including state senator Clementa Pinckney, said he felt nothing but “sadness” for the victims, and the racism that African Americans continue to endure in the United States.
“This is a terrorist attack,” he said. “Al Qaeda, ISIS, they’re not sh-t compared to the damage we can do to ourselves on a regular basis.”
“What blows my mind is the disparity of response,” Stewart added, visibly frustrated. “When we think people that are foreign are going to kill us and us killing ourselves…We invaded two countries and spent trillions of dollars and (lost) thousands of American lives and now fly unmanned death machines over like five or six different counties, all to keep Americans safe. We’ve got to do whatever we can—we’ll torture people. We’ve got to do whatever we can to keep Americans safe. (But) nine people shot in a church, ‘Hey, what are you going go to do?’…that’s the part I cannot for the life of me wrap my head around.”

I hate this PC nonsense as much as the next guy and fully realize that people will use this tragedy to score political points but that doesn't change the fact that this was DOMTERR pure and simple.

Having people like Lindsey Graham claim that the kid's intentions was simply to hurt Christians is insane and only serves to further isolate right wing politics. Just like that politician throwing snowballs in congress. Embarrassing.

Which is a shame, because right wing politics has a lot to offer this nation.
