June 20, 201511 yr Author Just heard (yes, on Fox News) some of the statements of the family members at the evil one's hearing. They are much better people then I am. Maybe with time I could offer the animal forgiveness but not this soon. God bless them and God grant peaceful rest to their loved ones. I agree, their faith is very strong! God bless all of them with their healing, as well as the souls of their loved ones who passed.
June 20, 201511 yr I couldn't talk to him if he killed my family. I'm not sure that I would even want to be in the same room. They are stronger than me. Agreed. I may say something to him, but it would most definitely get me in trouble.
June 20, 201511 yr Since when do victim family members speak at bail hearings? Odd justice system in SC.
June 20, 201511 yr Since when do victim family members speak at bail hearings? Odd justice system in SC. I agree. Retarded.
June 20, 201511 yr To no one's surprise a lot of info is coming out about the killer. Pictures of him on the beach where he wrote 14:88 in the sand are now popping up. 14:88 is a favorite of the white supremacists. Urban Dictionary: 14/88
June 20, 201511 yr It's nuts to say that there was any other motivation then race. He chose a church because it's supposed to be a place of peace and safety and least likely to have someone armed to stop him. It doesn't matter what his motive was, it happened at a church. A sin, is a sin, is a sin.
June 20, 201511 yr Yes it was at a church. I think he was pointing out that many will overlook the racism part, at least a little bit, and cry out "it was in a church". Meaning, what I read that Fox News said about it "a war on Christians", which is not the case, and completely ignoring the facts and misleading people. It doesn't matter what his motive was, it happened at a church. A sin, is a sin, is a sin.
June 20, 201511 yr It was a black pastor who brought it up on Fox, and he is very wrong in what he said. But then Doocy ran with it and said: "It's Extraordinary That Charleston Church Shooting Is Being Called A Hate Crime". Racial? Yes! War on Christians? No! I believe that an competent person who qualifies should be able to carry open or concealed anywhere, except federal buildings, and police stations. If you wanted a "high kill count" you will go where there is a very slim chance that there will be someone else with a weapon, such as a school. As soon as I heard this news last night the first thought I had was "was it a white person?", "I bet it's a white person". I was a little surprised at how young the guy was. As soon as you heard of this I am sure almost all thought right away it most likely was racial. But with all that is coming out, nothing points to it being a war on Christians. It might not be a war on Christians; however, he wanted to start a war. What better place than this church to include blacks and Christians from the start.
June 20, 201511 yr Please provide a link to that. I've been watching Fox off and on most of the day and I've heard no one express that sentiment. Fox News Blames The 'War On Christians' For Charleston Attack | Crooks and Liars
June 20, 201511 yr Can you throw some of those my way too? I'll take all I can get. Will do lawildcat!
June 20, 201511 yr The AME church was started as a result of blacks being attacked while praying in the Methodist church.
June 20, 201511 yr Agreed! The only thing what would have stopped him, well, was another gun. If he didn't have access to a gun, as someone pointed out earlier, he could have used a pressure cooker like the Boston bombers. People are crazy and the only way to stop with is with force, not more laws. They need to worry about the laws on the books now and enforce them. I'm sorry, but if I was black and in this church, and saw this young white kid alone, I would have wondered "what the hell is he doing here?", and "this can't be good". This is not the answer; however, this is the solution that many will take going forward. Act first and then ask questions later. The church age is coming to an end in this country.
June 20, 201511 yr What we are seeing is that race is still an issue and not a whole lot different than it was previously. Difference? Racists are quieter about it. It's also not generational. Millennials have race issues. Period. Pray for all millennials.
