Re: Charleston Church Shooting: 9 Killed in What Officials Call a Hate Crime
I don't think hes suicidal. I really think he will be a hero to many of his fellow inmates. He probably knows that, and that he will have protection inside. He will want to be OFF suicide watch so he can contact like minded inmates. That's how it is. |

Re: Charleston Church Shooting: 9 Killed in What Officials Call a Hate Crime
Meh. In my perfect little fantasy world, they put him on "suicide watch" to cover themselves when he dies, (you know, kills himself) under mysterious circumstances in a few days. Goddamn the fucking cameras everywhere. I don't want this pos to be looked upon as a hero, not by anyone. Not even the other pos in a prison. |

What's with the Adam Lanza style sugar bowl haircut? Is this the new hair style for mass murders? |

Re: Charleston Church Shooting: 9 Killed in What Officials Call a Hate Crime
The Manifesto COLUMBIA, S.C. — Dylann Roof spat on and burned the American flag, but waved the Confederate. He posed for pictures wearing a No. 88 T-shirt, had 88 Facebook friends and wrote that number — white supremacist code for “Heil Hitler”— in the South Carolina sand. A website discovered Saturday appears to offer the first serious look at Mr. Roof’s thinking, including how the case of Trayvon Martin, the black Florida teenager shot to death in 2012 by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, triggered his racist rage. The site shows a stash of 60 photographs, many of them of Mr. Roof at Confederate heritage sites or slavery museums, and includes a nearly 2,500-word manifesto in which the author criticized blacks as being inferior while lamenting the cowardice of white flight. “I have no choice,” it reads. “I am not in the position to, alone, go into the ghetto and fight. I chose Charleston because it is most historic city in my state, and at one time had the highest ratio of blacks to Whites in the country. We have no skinheads, no real KKK, no one doing anything but talking on the internet. Well someone has to have the bravery to take it to the real world, and I guess that has to be me.” The website was first registered on Feb. 9 in the name of Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old man charged with entering the historically black Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston on Wednesday night, attending a prayer meeting for an hour and then murdering nine parishioners. The day after the site was registered, the registration information was intentionally masked. It is not clear whether the manifesto was written by Mr. Roof or if he had control of it. Nor is it clear whether he took the pictures with a timer, or if someone else took them. In a joint statement Saturday night, the Charleston Police Department and the F.B.I. said they were aware of the website and were “taking steps to verify the authenticity of these postings.” If it is genuine, as his friends seem to think, the tourist sites he visited, the pictures that were posted and the hate-filled words on the site offered a chilling glimpse into the interests of an unemployed former landscaper said to have a fixation on race. ![]() “This whole racist thing came into him within the past five years,” said Caleb Brown, a childhood friend of Mr. Roof’s who is half black. “He was never really popular; he accepted that. He wasn’t like: ‘When I grow up I am going to show all these kids.’ He accepted who he was, and who he was changed, obviously.” Mr. Roof has been charged with nine counts of murder in the killings. Victims included the Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney, who was both the church pastor and a state senator. Continue reading the main story RELATED IN OPINION Hatred or Heritage?JUNE 19, 2015 Mr. Roof’s friends say that he only spoke of his murderous plans once — when he recently warned that he planned to do something crazy with the gun he had purchased with the money he got from his parents for his 21st birthday. But they say his sense of racial grievance began with the Trayvon Martin case. Advertisement Continue reading the main story The website, the lastrhodesian.com, which was not working by Saturday afternoon, featured a photo of a bloodied dead white man on the floor. The picture appears to be an image from “Romper Stomper,” an Australian movie about neo-Nazis. The domain name is a reference to the white minority of what is now Zimbabwe, where whites fought blacks for 15 years and enlisted white supremacists as mercenaries. The site was first discovered by a blogger who goes by the pen name Emma Quangel, who paid $49 for a reverse domain search that turned up the site. According to web server logs, the manifesto was last modified at 4:44 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, the day of the Charleston shootings, and the essay notes, “at the time of writing I am in a great hurry.” In the manifesto, Mr. Roof writes: “The event that truly awakened me was the Trayvon Martin case. I kept hearing and seeing his name, and eventually I decided to look him up. I read the Wikipedia article and right away I was unable to understand what the big deal was. It was obvious that Zimmerman was in the right. But more importantly this prompted me to type in the words ‘black on White crime’ into Google, and I have never been the same since that day.” The manifesto also says he learned from the website of the far-right Council of Conservative Citizens. The council is an offshoot of a 1950s-era organization that fought school desegregation. A message on its website says the group is “deeply saddened by the Charleston killing spree.” A friend of Mr. Roof’s, Jacob Meek, 15, said the references to the Trayvon Martin case made it clear that Mr. Roof had written the essay. “That’s his website,” he said. “He wrote it, and I just can tell.” Watchdog groups that track right-wing extremism say the manifesto reflects the language found in white supremacist forums online and dovetails with what has been said about Mr. Roof thus far — that he had self-radicalized, and that he did not belong to a particular hate group. “It’s clear that he was extremely receptive to those ideas,” said Mark Pitcavage, the director of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism. “At the same time, he does not have a sophisticated knowledge of white supremacy.” The icon for the browser tab on Mr. Roof’s website is an Othala rune, an ancient symbol appropriated by the Nazis that remains common among neo-Nazi groups. Mr. Roof was the latest in what watchdog groups say is a growing group of lone-wolf extremists. According to a study released in February by the Southern Poverty Law Center, about 70 percent of the 60 recent domestic terrorism attacks reviewed were conducted by people acting alone. The writings on Mr. Roof’s website show a fixation with black-on-white crime, which is common on white supremacy sites, said Heidi Beirich, the director of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project. “They demonize blacks to position themselves as victims, and offer that as proof of why they need their own state,” she said. Advertisement Continue reading the main story Advertisement Continue reading the main story Advertisement Continue reading the main story In one photograph posted on the website, Mr. Roof is shown posing with wax figures of slaves. In others, he posed with a handgun that appears to be a .45-caliber Glock. He had a .45-caliber Glock in his car when he was arrested Thursday, the police said. The website’s links contain several passages of long racist rants, in which he said Hispanics are enemies, and “Negroes” have lower I.Q.s and low impulse control. The manifesto praises segregation and says the author’s reading of “hundreds” of slave narratives indicates that almost all slaves gave positive accounts of their lives. The manifesto uses defamatory terms for blacks, whom he accused of being “stupid and violent” with “the capacity to be very slick.” It laments white flight, and suggested that the whites should instead stay behind in cities and fight. Criticisms are also levied at Jews, but Asians are praised for being racists and potential allies. Mr. Brown said his friend’s transformation appeared to have occurred after he left Columbia, S.C., for nearby Lexington. Records show he switched schools in 2007. “He wasn’t putting on Facebook ‘I hate black people. I am going to shoot up a church,’ ” Mr. Brown said. |

Re: Charleston Church Shooting: 9 Killed in What Officials Call a Hate Crime
Zimmerman is a German name, but the guy is a non white Hispanic. Being a white supremacist, why would this dumbfuck give two shits about that case? |

Re: Charleston Church Shooting: 9 Killed in What Officials Call a Hate Crime
There usually is no rationale in these people's plots. It is just something they attach themselves too. I think it just demonstrates how he allowed himself to get too absorbed into the case of Zimmerman. ------------ I just love how the article calls his friend "half black" All day long we will write articles on our "black" president. But when we will need to write an article about hate crime, we will need to press the fact of any racial mix of any friends of the perp's.... |

Re: Charleston Church Shooting: 9 Killed in What Officials Call a Hate Crime
I agree with you a site like Stormfront is probably more poison for the mind but Stormfront doesn't have the power, reach, and influence that CNN has. So many people believe without a doubt that these major news stations are all telling the cold hard facts because in most people's minds it's a 'reputable source'. A major news station knowing this, uses that sort of influence to waver people's opinions whichever way they choose. It's pretty fucken scary when you think about it. It's not some chemtrail conspiracy either, it's pretty blatant to see what they're doing. It's all money hungry assholes promoting racial division hidden under bullshit empathy. When an event happens like this they don't see tragedy they see a ratings increase. A bunch of rednecks shouting racist bullshit with their windows up isn't systematic racism and you know it! |

20 years ago you would see the black man as a cold blooded killer on television now he's a fucken victim scared for his life! It's garbage either way! The minute they see me, fear me I'm the epitome - a public enemy Used, abused without clues I refused to blow a fuse They even had it on the news Don't believe the hype... -- Chuck D |
