Charleston Shooting Leaves 9 Dead at AME Church, Gunman Remains at Large

[Jacque67 7,328]

Happens.

One of the unfortunate but not secret consequences of doing bad things and getting locked up in confined places with other people who do bad things.

Of course it happens, but I am not going to celebrate the fact.

Jeez. There are some really creepy predators on this site...

you won't hear her name, because she has nothing to do with what just happened.

wouldn't it be awesome if everyone was pointing fingers at the dead pastor of the church? nine people are dead because the pastor didn't want guns in his church.

at best, this is just insensitive.

Of course it's his fault. He didn't want a house of God to have weapons in it. It's probably in the Bible somewhere. "Thou should packeth heat at all times, said the Lord."

the reaction of the victim's families that spoke to the killer and forgave him spoke pretty powerfully to me and i'm atheist. how in the world this is all about how nonviolent/spiritual people need to have guns is beyond me. it's not going to happen.

Think the elevated chances of being shot in the hood might be a deterrent?

Bingo

Also some creepy judges

The judge who arraigned Dylann Roof sparked outrage when he referred to the 21-year-old's family as 'victims' and urged the community to 'rally round them'.

Charleston County Magistrate James Gosnell Jr told the court on Friday: 'We have victims - nine of them. But we also have victims on the other side. There are victims on this young man's side of the family.'

The bizarre statement prompted outcry from the victims' families in the public gallery, and a torrent of complaints branding him 'insensitive' and 'racist'.

And it has since emerged Gosnell was reprimanded in 2003 for using the n-word in court, when he told a black defendant: 'There are four kinds of people in this world - black people, white people, red necks, and n---rs.'

Faith is a powerful thing. There's a ton of folks living in places some members here would wet their shorts just thinking about and refuse to have a gun on them. They don't need nor want weapons inside of their place of worship.

Guns don't belong in schools or church. It's really that simple. When the day comes where you HAVE to be armed to get an education or receive spiritual guidance, something is seriously wrong with that picture.

I just don't have the words...

[Jacque67 7,328]

Relatives of the victims gunned down in the South Carolina church massacre told the killer that they forgive him in heart-wrenching statements during his first court appearance today.

'I forgive you!' the daughter of Ethel Lance told Dylann Roof through tears as he appeared via video link at the Charleston court on Friday afternoon. 'You took something really precious from me. I will never talk to her ever again, I will never be able to hold her ever again but I forgive you!

'You hurt me, you hurt a lot of people but God forgives you. And I forgive you.'

Quite frankly I don't think Roof should be given anymore publicity, as that is what he craves.

I am noticing articles about his family etc. the usual bs.

Nothing will change. The usual divide and rule.

I agree. Like I said I see a fund raising website for the family in the near future...

Had to remove a post for treading on this VJ TOS precept:

"Attempt to bypass the Forums language filter through the use of alternative characters to spell profanities or through the posting of images containing profanity."

We can express ourselves quite eloquently in standard ways, folks.

I hope not.

Right on..

Fantasising about rape whistles in men's pants has to be an example...

Wasn't this kid such a little charmer? If there was any doubt to his terrorist neo-Nazi ideals vs insanity, I think it's quite clear. http://gawker.com/here-is-what-appears-to-be-dylann-roofs-racist-manifest-1712767241

Old article, but interesting political ties to his choice of indoctrination. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/daily/jan99/south13.htm
