Opened fire on a Bible study group, what a sicko.

More tragedy that will probably cause more race riots and wars. Sad times we live in, friends. Sad times..

Just senseless and it's been sad reading the names of people who were murdered. I don't want to get into a gun debate becuase that's a regular topic which gets heated, but disgraceful choice of a gift for his birthday by his parents if I read that correctly.

He's a murderer, terrorist yet most of the media will ignore the latter label and just stick to the former and apply different, more sympathetic labels compared to other people..

Jon Stewart's piece on his show has got huge attention, will watch that later but wouldn't surprise me if he's summarised this whole thing perfectly.

Hey guys, guess what?

*Audience is on the edge of their seat. Some see it coming, some to not. The anticipation sets in.*

Guess what [insert Republican here] said?

*Audience is frothing at the mouth. The end of the punchline is near and they are ready for it. The crowd's volume rises, and some begin to crack up^

THIS [cherrypicked quote]

*Crowd erupts into laughter, the volume rising like a Phoenix emerging from the ashes. People begin crying due to laughter, gut busting laughter, the ambulance sirens howl in the background*

(I liked Stewart when Bush was around, ever since then though, he's become a shill)

The timing of this event is kinda interesting. Good thing for Democrats to run on. Nothing gets minority voters like taking away guns from white people. This guy is an idiot and he killed old church goers, so if this had some racism involved (it does) he really picked shitty targets. He's in SC tho and I think he'll be getting the death penalty.

From what I've read the guy was just a bloody coward. I mean he claimed to be doing it because black people were "taking over our country and raping our women," or some bullshit, so he goes to a church with innocent people? That pussy knows if he would have went to a club where he'd be more likely to run into "gang members" that people would likely be packing and his ass would have been shot before he could do much harm. So he goes to a gun free church.. pathetic.

I wish they would fry him fast but he'll likely live in the system for years.

^^Link to Stewart's monologue. It's absolutely worth listening to.

“I honestly have nothing other than sadness that once again we have to peer into the abyss of the depraved violence that we do to each other and the nexus of a just gaping racial wound that will not heal yet we pretend doesn’t exist. I’m confident though that by acknowledging it—by staring into it—we still won’t do jack shit. That’s us. And that’s the part that blows my mind…What blows my mind is the disparity of response. When we think people that are foreign are going to kill us and us killing ourselves…We invade 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? Crazy is as crazy is, right?’ That’s the part that, for the life of me, I can’t wrap my head around. And you know it’s going to go down the same path.”

That's the first part of it anyway, you can (and should) hear the whole thing at the link to get the full effect.

Also, the confederate flag is still flying at the South Carolina state capitol, higher than the US flag.

Apparently they took the dude to Burger King on the way there? What the hell?



I think he was treated fairly and not because he was White, just the circumstances. He just waited to be arrested and came with them quietly. The thing I don't get however is that they gave this dude a fucking junior Whopper after being accused of murdering 9 church going blacks. What the fuck.

Also, to debunk the "he gets bail cuz he's white" it's because the bail is set on the weapons charge.

Edit: Here's the link to the Roof goes to Burger King and eats some bomb ass fries story

I mean they could have at least fed him Taco Bell so he'd have diarrhea for hours on end.
