9 Dead in SC church shooting

Younger generations are not old enough to remember the same presumption of "Muslim terrorist" was made both about the Olympic park bombing in Atlanta and the Oklahoma city attack. Neither were Muslims.

His father gave him a 45 caliber pistol for his 21st birthday. Doesn't that bring tears to your eyes?

Touching. And obviously he had great plans already, since he's still 21. I guess, this has to be a proud moment for daddy.

So out of curiosity I looked him up on facebook and found what appears to be his genuine facebook page (it was made a long time ago) https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009674437955

Not much information on it, but what is interesting is that out of 81 facebook friends, a number of them are black. Seems odd for a white supremacist.

As I said, as long as the cards aren't on the table it's useless to speculate. Guy could have snapped for any reason, but it's just odd to bring a piece into a prayer meeting. That points to some level of premeditation.

He's apparently already been arrested.

Quote:One woman, who said she was as cousin of the church's pastor, Sen. Rev. Clementa Pinckney, told NBC News late Wednesday night that the shooter reloaded five different times and told a survivor, "I have to do it. You rape our women and you're taking over our country. And you have to go."

But it could be simply a mentally disturbed individual just like the Newton shooter. If it was racist you could certainly say outside influences lead that sick fuck to that target, but I'd say mental illness regardless is going to come into play.

Even with that theater shooter, I don't like the legal standard of not guilty by reason of mental defect. I think outside a courtroom in psychology, you can know right from wrong, and be mentally ill at the same time. I think you can be guilty and mentally ill at the same time.

I think even with cases of religious violence, you are still talking about delusion and disenfranchisement combined to create acts of desperation.

Last report is that the shooter posted a picture of himself wearing a pro-apartheid jacket.  Pretty sure this is going to prove to be at least partly a racist act.  That it was also an act of an insane person is a given.

Russia today has a link to his myspace page and the only song he posted on it was by a "Christian death metal band ".

Is Christian death metal popular in America, or is it something only the real Jesus freaks would listen to?

Just saw that on the news.  I bet this capture had more to do with police investigation and BOLO of the car than the public spotting him. They got him in Shelby NC.
