QuoteIs the colour important?

Quote from: "Romero"South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff.



Yet the controversial Confederate flag at the capitol building is still at full-staff.



WTF

Quote from: "cc la femme"Gov. Nikki Haley Chokes Up, "The Heart And Soul Of South Carolina Was Broken"...



Obama's first reactions was to politicize the tragedy and use it to push his agenda ... immediately



Critical moments like this bring out and show true character

Quote from: "SPECTRE"The issue is not race!!!



Yes, the fruitcake that did this use race as his own private justification, but the clear reality is he is a nutjob, Class A, and how in the hell does a whacko like him get hold of powerful, lethal weaponry?



This is as much about race as Columbine was about the education system.



America's violent culture, combined with hordes of mentally ill people getting access to high powered weaponry is the problem.



Racism isn't going to go away...but you CAN make guns go away.

Being a battle flag it shouldn't be up anyhow.

QuoteA sparse Facebook page shows an image of Roof in a jacket with the flags of apartheid-era South Africa and Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).



Another Facebook photo of Roof sitting on the roof of his car shows an ornamental license plate with a Confederate flag on it.



Roommate Dalton Tyler told ABC News that Roof was "planning something like that for six months."



"He was big into segregation and other stuff," Tyler said. "He said he wanted to start a civil war. He said he was going to do something like that and then kill himself."



A woman who claimed to be the mother of Roof's former stepmother told the Journal he began to change in recent years.



"He apparently told people that he was involved in groups, racist groups," she said, adding that he stopped going to high school.



The cousin of the church's pastor—who was killed—quoted a survivor who said Roof told the church: "I have to do it. You're raping our women and taking over the country. You have to go."

Quote from: "SPECTRE"Because guns kill people.



Racism doesn't.



Get rid of the guns first, then address the racism issue. But right now, innocents are being slaughtered by people who have no justifiable reason for possessing a firearm.
