Police: Multiple Victims in South Carolina church shooting [W:224:1119]

re: Police: Multiple Victims in South Carolina church shooting [W:224]

Thanks Obama.
 
re: Police: Multiple Victims in South Carolina church shooting [W:224]

Yes. I remember that as news broke of the OKC bombing, the general masses were quick to call it an attack of Arab terrorists and political discussion quickly went to our personal prejudices about Muslims.

Though we all think we know what happened here, and likely it is as first appears, an abundance of caution and response to known facts is always preferred to wild ass speculation. Its not only a good intellectual discipline; its respectful of all involved, including the victims.



I remember that as well.

Police: Multiple victims in South Carolina church shooting - CBS News

This appears to be a racist attack as the suspect was reported as being white. the suspect is described as a "clean-shaven white male.

Great, just what we need after all the police brutality incidents. Hope the perpetrator is caught quickly . the church appears to be an African-American parish given the denomination and the location


"clean shaven"? Is that double speak for skinhead???
 
re: Police: Multiple Victims in South Carolina church shooting [W:224]

Wednesday night prayer meeting, 9 people killed at a historic black church by a white male reported to be in his early 20s doesn't sound random. They will find him and I hope they don't kill him before they determine why a person would do such a thing.

"clean shaven"? Is that double speak for skinhead???

It could be, but maybe not, I've always thought of the term clean shaven to mean clean of facial hair as in no mustache or beard etc and not the scalp.

Like I've been described as clean shaven because I shave 2x a day with five blades razors but I have a full head of hair

I'm too numb from all the violence. I almost don't care anymore.
 
re: Police: Multiple Victims in South Carolina church shooting [W:224]

Yes, it does matter.. there is a difference between hate crime and random crime.

Really!?

Why would it not be a hate crime if the church was white?

Does not all murder require hate?

Inquiring minds want to know.

It means exactly what it says - no facial hair.
 
re: Police: Multiple Victims in South Carolina church shooting [W:224]

despicable crime, hopefully the perp is caught, convicted, and put to death

rip to those victims.

That's what I want to understand. I've asked pretty much the same question. If it's black on white or white on black or white on brown or black on red....does any murder occur out of love?

May these poor people rest in peace. If you aren't safe in church in a Bible study, you aren't safe anywhere. Very sad and tragic.

Absolutely some do.

Anyways, of course there can* be white on white hate crime. The point is hate crimes are ideologically driven, and more likely than "random" (passion of the moment) type crimes to have recidivism, accordingly.

That's always my fear too Risky. As much as I want to see this SOB dead, at the same time I want him alive and singing like a canary so we know who else may harbor whatever feelings he has as well.

I doubt this is organized by any group.

This is probably some loser who still wets the bed in his twenties and blames everyone else for him being a total loser.

S.Carolina state senator Clementa Pinckney was one of the victims.

Yep, he was also the pastor of the church. I was listening to Americas First Light (a radio news program run by Westwood One) on my way home from my graveyard shift and they were talking about his resume, sounded like a really smart man.

Damn shame
 
re: Police: Multiple Victims in South Carolina church shooting [W:224]

Funny how right wingers love to say Muslims are threats yet more people in America have been killed by right wing attacks than Muslim extremists since 9/11. Condolences to the victims.

Way to politicize.

Because white on white is not a hate crime.

Who cares why. Put him do death and be done with it.

Police release photos of suspect

chasn church shooter.jpg

From ABC News
The suspect opened fire on a bible study group at the historic black Emanuel AME Church on Calhoun street, killing eight people in an "unfathomable" act of violence. One other person was rushed to the hospital and died. Police originally said two people were hospitalized.

In a chilling twist, police said the alleged gunman, whom the mayor called a "horrible scoundrel," was inside the church attending the prayer meeting with worshipers for almost an hour.

Police said that three of the victims were males and six were females. Their ages were not clear.
Three people survived the shooting, but details about them were not immediately available.

More can be read in Charleston's Post & Courier website

I've been following this myself. It supposedly happened right downtown.

With any luck, he'll be caught quickly.

With any luck this bastard will off himself or the police will do it. Last thing we need is him getting caught and a trial - rabid dogs, racists murderers or terrorist (he may be all of those) like this asshole should really do humanity a favor and resist arrest and save our society the trial.

Funny how right wingers love to say Muslims are threats yet more people in America have been killed by right wing attacks than Muslim extremists since 9/11. Condolences to the victims.
How do you know this guy is associated with the right wing? That's a very premature and baseless assumption.

Please also provide a citation for your assertion.

Who cares why. Put him do death and be done with it.
Let's hope he does it himself.

They'll have this skum **** caught by the end of the day.

And you know this guy is right wing how, exactly?

Also, your statistics are bull crap, FYI.
 
re: Police: Multiple Victims in South Carolina church shooting [W:224]

Because white on white is not a hate crime.

If he was an atheist then it would qualify as a hate crime.

But it is an asinine argument either way because "hate crime" is redundant. Few crimes are inflicted on the victims out of love. :roll:
