Brian Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Stuff leaves me speechless. Guy shouldn't be able to get far with a stupid ass haircut like that. I'm so mature. Shooter reportedly sat in the prayer circle for an hour before opening fire. Edited June 18, 2015 by Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Church Shooting Suspect Identified: Dylann Storm Roof The FBI has identified the shooting suspect who allegedly opened fire on an African American church in Charleston, South Carolina on Wednesday night, killing 9 people. The alleged shooter is Dylann Storm Roof, a 21-year-old white male from the Columbia area, according to local news station WISTV. A manhunt is still underway to find him. Roof is out on bond for charges related to drugs and trespassing, according to an editor for The Post and Courier. A mug shot for his trespassing arrest can be viewed here. The alleged shooter reportedly said, “I have to do it. You rape our women and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go,” according to a witness interviewed by NBC News.

That's why it's pretty common to hear the old, "Wow, he was my neighbor for 30 years and was always very nice, we had no idea he was eating people!". The nutbar wielding an axe on a daily basis is much easier to point at and say, wow, that dudes insane, maybe we should call someone...but for the most part, crazy people are very normal...until the day they snap. This is one of the drawbacks to being a chemical and electrical form of life, normal can become crazy quite easily.

Jenksismyhero Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Yeah that's ridiculous. He could just be trying to be funny. You can't tell that stuff through a picture. Sounds like they just caught him in NC. Would love to know what the motive was here, especially after spending an hour with those people in the church.

I found this quote insightful in regards to your question. “I never heard him say anything, but just he had that kind of Southern pride, I guess some would say. Strong conservative beliefs,” he said. “He made a lot of racist jokes, but you don’t really take them seriously like that. You don’t really think of it like that.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkey Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 11:23 AM) I found this quote insightful in regards to your question. I seem to recall the nutbag that shot Giffords was called a conservative for a few weeks until it was discovered that he was a huge liberal. And a nutbag. In fact, every shooter seems to be labeled a conservative in a knee-jerk fashion, and most of the time, they are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that is a common stereotype that people in this country actually believe. I don't think people generally in this country believe that southern conservatives are murderers. But hey, perhaps i'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
