    I'll also add that reekter is the poster who, just the other day, said women should be in military, law enforcement, etc, because even though they are the weaker sex, GUNS even the score.

    Hell, apparently some reports are saying the guy reloaded 5 times during the shooting. You mean to tell me no one could stop the kid?

  3. Take note of what the gunman said: "I have to do it. You rape our women and you're taking over our country. And you have to go."


    He's a republican!

    Only an ass like yourself would make this partisan. But yeah, he probably votes republican, if he votes. Not that this means anything.

    White man arrested in killing of 9 in historic black church

    A white man was arrested Thursday in the slayings of nine people, including the pastor, at a prayer meeting inside a historic black church in downtown Charleston.

    Dylann Storm Roof, 21, stayed for nearly an hour inside the church Wednesday night before shooting six females and three males at a prayer meeting, Police Chief Greg Mullen said.

    Roof put up no resistance after a citizen tip led police to his car Thursday morning in Shelby, North Carolina, Mullen said.

    "Acts like this one have no place in our country," said Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who announced a Justice Department hate crime investigation. "They have no place in a civilized society."

    The Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church's pastor, state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, was among those killed. Pinckney, 41, was a married father of two who was elected to the state House at 23, making him the youngest member of the House at the time.

    "He never had anything bad to say about anybody, even when I thought he should," State House Minority leader Todd Rutherford told The Associated Press. "He was always out doing work either for his parishioners or his constituents. He touched everybody."

    Roof's childhood friend, Joey Meek, alerted the FBI after recognizing him in a surveillance camera image that was widely circulated, said Meek's mother, Kimberly Kozny. Roof had worn the same sweatshirt while playing Xbox videogames in their home recently.

    "I don't know what was going through his head," Kozny said. "He was a really sweet kid. He was quiet. He only had a few friends."

    Roof had been to jail: State court records show a pending felony drug case against him, and a past misdemeanor trespassing charge.

    Roof displayed a Confederate flag on his license plate, Kozny said, and in a photo on his Facebook page, he wears a jacket with stitched-on flag patches from two other defeated white-ruled regimes: Rhodesia and apartheid-era South Africa.

    "White" and "black" need to go. Too many take them too seriously.
