Dylann Storm Roof killed 9 people during a prayer service in a church. Roof has been charged with nine counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He also faces federal hate crime charges. Photos of Roof posing with symbols of white supremacy and neo-Nazism, along with a manifesto in which he outlined his views towards blacks, among other peoples.

The fallout after this was that black's andf SJW's demanded that flags and statues be taken down.



Now Micah X Johnson



"Upset about Black Lives Matter” "Wants to kill white people especially white cops"

Johnson told police negotiators the “end is coming” and said he wanted to “kill more” officers

While he was barricaded in the hotel, the suspect told police there were bombs planted “all over” downtown Dallas

“He said we will eventually find the IEDs”

His Facebook Page Includes a ‘Black Power’ Poster & the Pan-African Flag

Tell us more about how almost everyone is making fun of your absurdity of fixating on this, and your best explanation is to cry "racist" and "scared of angry black guy"....tell us all about it!!!

I've legit never seen a melt like this in probably 12 years of posting, and I never woulda guessed it would come from you, but here we are with you melting, calling people names, breaking down and not even bothering the subject any more, just whining about an exclamation point.

It's bad, real bad.

So you're working all day but complaining about it not being a big story, even though you have no way of knowing if it's a big story, because you're at work.

I've been following it online today and a lot this morning on TV. Ill fill you in. It's a HUGE frickING STORY.

Never seen a poster break down on this level before. I don't come tot he OT much, so I'm sure there's been some big ones, but this is easily the worst I've ever seen.

Is this a joke? It's not getting much fervor because everyone is worried about more important shite. How much fervor is appropriate?

I have not once said it isn't a big story. I followed this until I passed out at 1 am.

I am simply saying if the shooter was white and said he hates black people the media would be pushing BLM much harder.

I'm struggling to understand how you release an article clearing a suspect with "fervor".
You click send with your mouse pointer really, really hard.

Do you also bitch about every single rape suspect later found to be innocent?

Child porn suspect who had his life publically ruined, whenever it's the wrong person?


I want to know why I don't see you starting threads bitching about this. The media literally puts forth 0 effort to clear the names of those falsely accused of these crimes.

Why are you so focused on this one man, who wasn't even arrested?

they were updating their twitter account all day yesterday during the protest and even afterward once the shooting happened.


a tweet was what triggered the media to put out the alert about this man


I know, and like others have said clearing this person's name on social media should have been and apparently was low on the priority list. They should have taken care of it sooner but this is in no way the tragedy you are painting it as.

No, you said if the shooter was white it would be a bigger story. It can't be much of a bigger story. It's been 95% of the discussions on every news outlet and headlines of every major newspaper. There is even live footage outside of his home. They've interviewed probably 50 people. They've dug up his background. They even have stories about him going to his neighbors house to tell a kids mom that her daughter was frickin with his mailbox, because that's so relevant.

It's as big as a story can be. Stop trying to make this something it is not. It's disengenuous, at best.

I do not recall that being he timeline, at all

I saw his pic posted very quickly


DPD twitter posted his pic saying he was a suspect approximately 2 hours after the shooting began.

Hmm that seems like a stretch.


The tweet was posted at 8:52pm


That seems like a stretch, because the shooting didn't start until a couple of minutes before 9:00

I don't disagree that the media would have a different spin, I just think it's poor timing and unnecessary. They've really went above and beyond on this story.

Sorry for being a dick. I've been arguing all morning and should probably go find something to sell. But I lack the motivation with all of this going on.
