June 18, 201511 yr So if I shoot up people in a candy store, it's because I hate candy? He still did it at a church.
June 18, 201511 yr He still did it at a church. Despite all evidence to the contrary, you still believe this was an anti-Christian shooting? Do you believe he was saying Christians are raping "our women?" Who are "our women?"
June 18, 201511 yr Despite all evidence to the contrary, you still believe this was an anti-Christian shooting? Do you believe he was saying Christians are raping "our women?" Who are "our women?" For the 4th time, he still did it at a church.
June 18, 201511 yr For the 4th time, he still did it at a church. And it was a black church. If he went shooting into a store that was known to be frequented by mostly blacks, would you classify it as he targeted the store or black people? You can't look at just the location but the victims.

You can't look at just the location but the victims. It doesn't really matter, now does it... ....because Thou Shalt Not Kill.
June 18, 201511 yr It doesn't really matter, now does it... ....because Thou Shalt Not Kill. It does matter. Because it was a racially motivated hate crime. I know what the Commandments say. Still doesn't change the fact that it was motivated by race.
June 18, 201511 yr What if you don't believe in God or the Commandments. Kind of throws that whole "Thou Shalt Not Kill" thing out the window.....
June 18, 201511 yr It does matter. Because it was a racially motivated hate crime. I know what the Commandments say. Still doesn't change the fact that it was motivated by race. It doesn't matter what his motive was. He killed 9 people in a church. He did not kill 9 black, white, green, purple, orange, brown, or yellow people. He killed 9 people in a church. I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. MLK, Jr.

June 18, 201511 yr Another AME church in Charleston was evacuated today due to a bomb threat. Of course, the copy-cats will try their games, too.
June 18, 201511 yr It doesn't matter what his motive was. He killed 9 people in a church. He did not kill 9 black, white, green, purple, orange, brown, or yellow people. He killed 9 people in a church. I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. MLK, Jr. He did kill 9 people. 9 black people. You can keep believing this was a religious hate crime but it wasn't. And ironic you use that quote. The victims were judged by the color of their skin by the shooter.
June 18, 201511 yr So apparently this shooter said he "wanted to start a civil war" according to his roommate. Wow. BREAKING NEWS: #CharlestonShooting suspect had apparent interest in white supremacy.
June 18, 201511 yr Considering he had a CSA license plate, and patches of the flags of both Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa. I'm leaning towards race just a wee bit. But! But! But! But! But! It was at a church! A church! A CHURCH! IT WAS AT A CHURCH! So yeah, I guess it's probably not about race. And even though he actually told people it was about race before he shot them, it's probably still about religion. I keep forgetting it's at a church. My bad.
