Friend: Dyllan Storm Roof Took Gun from His Mom – She Didn’t Trust Him With It (VIDEO)
Aljazeera America…“Repeated attempts to pass hate crime bill in South Carolina have failed“
Excerpt
“In this case, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it is a hate crime,” said Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen.
While the shooting may be considered a hate crime under federal law, that designation does not exist in South Carolina’s criminal code. The Palmetto State is one of just five states lacking any sort of hate crime statute. The other four are Arkansas, Wyoming, Georgia and Indiana.
An eyewitness said the shooter justified his rampage because of fears that black people were “taking over our country.” NBC News spoke with Sylvia Johnson, a cousin of Clementa Pinckney, the pastor of the church, who was killed in the shooting. She said a shooting survivor told her that the shooter said, “I have to do it. You rape our women, and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go.”
The SPLC documents 19 active right-wing extremist groups operating in South Carolina. It is currently unclear whether Roof had any direct connection to any of those groups.
“Since 2000, we’ve seen an increase in the number of hate groups in our country — groups that vilify others on the basis of characteristics such as race or ethnicity,” said Richard Cohen, the president of the SPLC in a statement released on Thursday. “Though the numbers have gone down somewhat in the last two years, they are still at historically high levels.”

President Obama has publicly stated the South Carolina state slag must find its way to the museum. I posit, the president and other courageous souls must step out of the safe politically correct box and nail conservative politicians, conservative ideology, Fox News and all things that serve as vehicles to white privilege. If no one steps forward to check and reverse conservative ideology ;that lends a welcome to families that raise their children to hate based in race, the nation will find more cases like the killings in the South Carolina Church.
If you think the last paragraph may have been a bit harsh, find an example f progressive of liberals killing as such and the “hat” I have place on US conservatives will no longer fit. You will not find such example.
