Shocking really. Bowl cuts in 2015 just scream "well adjusted".

Imagine an adult Macauley Caulken wearing apartheid era South African flag patches on a leather jacket.
Guy gets arrested twice this year. Family buys him a gun for his April birthday. The little monster commits this heinous crime 2 months later.
I know families don't want to believe their little child (Dylan STORM Roof) is a monster, but c'mon...Storm? Bowl cut? Gun? Bet his mommy chewed his Cheerios for him.

Interesting that the media has latched on to the victims being black instead of Christians.
i have heard just the opposite. Fox headline read "an attack on faith" this was a racist attack, plain and simple. if not, why didnt he go to a white church?
Well, what with it being an AME Church and the dude is shown wearing an Apartheid era South African flag, I don't think differences over communion etiquette caused this.
My guess is he was trying to make as big of a statement as possible is why he chose a church, and that particular church as well. He probably thought the people in there felt safe, and wouldn't have any weapons either.
Church implies Christian, synagogue Jewish, mosque Muslim.
Kid screaming about black people while shooting them makes this an attack about race, but you believe what you want.
Maybe his parents should had bought him an Xbox for his 21st birthday instead of a .45 then.
While this is terrible, and my thoughts go out to their loved ones, I can't help but think of the 100+ children that were murdered in South Sudan last month. One month. Boys castrated and left to bleed out. Girls as young as 8 being raped and murdered. I'm not sure why that doesn't get acknowledged over here. Is it because we don't care or because we just expect that sort of thing "over there"?
You can laugh but every single white kid that was a mass shooter fit that bill the past 15 years. All of them.
No one suggests that if you play video games you're going to kill someone but they serve as psychopathic fantasies for the mentally disturbed.
I did not read the details of him screaming about race. Just pointing out how quickly it becomes about race if the victims aren't white.
Didn't know Nidal Hasan was considered black.
*Well they caught the little SOB now.
Obama talking about gun violence and how easy it was to get a gun. Going to be a rush to the gun's and ammo stores now.
Didn't know Nidal Hasan was considered black.
Just pointing out how hate crime doesn't apply to white victims.

Aaron Alexis in the Navy yard maybe?
This was a very historical church. The oldest Black Church in the south, founded in the late 18th century. It's a real landmark. This would have been horrible being anywhere but this particular church makes it even worse.
I hate the idea of certain killings considered "Hate" crime due to race. IMO all killing like Hasan or this church are built on a basis of some kind of hate.
Only mass shooting by a black guy I remember is the DC beltway snipers and that's more likely considered Islamic terrorism.
A "hate crime" means there was no other motive other than hate for a certain kind of people. If a store clerk gets shot in a robbery the motive was robbery, but if some demented individual kills a person of a different race or ethnicity just for the hell of it, it's a hate crime. Both are horrible but IMO a hate crime is worse.
Classify crimes however you want, taking a life is taking a life and should result in the ultimate punishment. Doesnt matter if it was a junkie who gunned down Apu at the Quik E Mart or this floppy haired white extremist who gunned down black people. Ole Sparky ought to be the end result for both.
DC Beltway Sniper. Black guy & black kid sniping from the trunk of the junker car. Again memory is hazy, don't know if all vics were white or if any were black.
Thought it was about him getting screwed over by his military contractor employer. Considering his roommate and gaming buddy was a white guy.
Dead men tell no tales. So we will never know.
Motive is commonly a factor in how harshly to punish criminals. Hate crime laws just codify that when your motive is to target members of a certain class - race, religion, gender, etc. - it's automatically taken into account. Killing for the sake of targeting black people, or Christians, or women, is seen as more heinous, more dangerous (a person driven to kill black people because they're black would be seen as more of a future threat than someone who killed a guy who had screwed his wife), and essentially an act of terrorism against the class of people. Even those not directly affected are victimized by the act.
You'd think all murders would be considered a hate crime.
And of course ole Heisman the resident racist wants to make this about whites and christians. Seems pretty obvious these people were killed because they were black, not because they were Christians. I know that doesn't fit your agenda but hey, keep trying.
