Gunman kills nine people in South Carolina church shooting

[SlyPokerDog]

Nine people were killed when a white gunman entered a historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina, and opened fire, the city's police chief said on Thursday.

One other person was wounded and taken to a hospital, Chief Gregory Mullen told reporters about four hours after the shooting on Wednesday evening.

Describing the shooting as a hate crime, Mullen said: “It is unfathomable that somebody in today’s society would walk into a church when people are having a prayer meeting and take their lives."

He also said that an all-clear had been sounded after an earlier bomb threat in the area of the church.

Maybe one of the chorus members fucked his wife.

 

[oldmangrouch]

I can't wait to hear how this was "self-defense."

I keep reading that South Carolina has the most corrupt politics in the country. In the land of Clinton-haters, they keep reelecting their female Republican governor Nikki Haley, who has had affairs.

The dead pastor was a state senator, according to the Iranian news media.

Apparently the gunman said during the attack. "you rape our women and are taking over our country. You have to go."

Looks like a dead man

^ Nope. He's in custody.

Why is this not called a terrorist attack?

one lone person who is bonkers. It does not at this moment appear to be part of a larger plot, or something that many people are planning to emulate.

It does not mean it's not a terrorist attack, just that it doesn't feel like it's deep reaching enough to receive that label. If this dirtbag proves to be part of a movement or a larger group with murderous aims, then my guess is the terrorist term will be brought up often.

 

[donkiez]

It seems to be a hate crime rather than a terrorist attack.

Here is some more info on him.

Sounds like the anti-immigrant rhetoric. Downright hateful, and many people don't realize it for some reason.

What a tragedy this is.

Not when he goes to prison. I know damn well the lifers will take him out, if he doesn't get the death penalty.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'm calling Asperger's. Just like all the other young white male mass shooters.

I dunno. I imagine he'll be in seg until the trail is over. Assuming South Carolina still has the death penalty I imagine he'll stay there until death row. Not everyone goes out like Dahmer.

Can't fathom how you interject "anti-immigration" into what is clearly a hate-crime against Real Native Americans of African ancestry.

took me a second also, but looking at it from the shooters perspective then they were forced immigrants. (not that I share that view). I think the patches on his jacket support that theory as they are of South African apartheid and Rhodesia.

That's a bit backwards, since those countries were taken over by invading Caucasians.

I'm not anticipating any of his logic to be sound.

Yeah, anyone that feels killing 9 innocent people is justified has a few screws loose

That's something right out of a MARIS61 post. Not "real americans" and the rest of his schtick. But not just him.

"Defend the borders because they're taking over."

Heard and seen that way too much.

Gibberish. Mad cow again, or are you really unable to debate in an intelligent manner and always must resort to lying about what others say and changing the subject of the thread?

You're the one who posted "they're taking our jobs," the country is under attack somehow, and that they're not real americans.

No, I have never posted those words in reference to anyone other than ILLEGAL ALIENS, and you are quite aware of that fact. I have never singled out any race or ethnicity as being better or worse than any other, because they're not.

In reality, we are all the same race, from the same origin.

As I have posted before, I fully support legal immigration and would love to see it increased, but rampant illegal immigration currently restricts tens of millions of decent, law-abiding people from moving to America.

And yet you continue to lie about my posts and slander me with your racist hate-speech tantrums. Seems to be a violation of board rules in there, and posters have been banned for less. Maybe you should give yourself a time-out?

Thanks for proving me right again.

Because we should remember the victims:

Now, why are we not hearing where was the father? Why are we not hearing moderate whites need to repudiate this crime?

Because we were told immediately that his father gave him a gun on his 21st birthday, so we already know this was not a case of a loser Dad who wasn't around to raise his son. I have not heard where was the Mother, though.

We are not hearing moderate whites need to repudiate this crime for the obvious reason that THEY ALREADY ARE, in full force, pretty much everywhere across all social media in America. And in the white-owned major media, same thing. Total repudiation.

So you're going with Mad Cow disease.

OK.
