re: Dylann Roof almost didnt go through with the massacre

wow

Yeah, that's impressive as hell.


I would forgive him too, but only after I paid off some prison guards and inmates to break a rusty pipe off in his arse.

You don't thing the Aryans in prison would greet him as a hero and watch his back?

I have no clue about prison dynamics between AB and blacks. I'm sure its different everywhere and I'm sure there is a price for everything.

I'll just say this about Dylann Roof, what he did is deplorable but its no more or less deplorable than the acts of the other mass murderers that came before him. This event I find very similar to the school shootings in this country over the past 20 years. Many if not all of the suspects in those killings felt it was the only way to be heard or get even if you may. I cant help but think of what kind of social environment these people were living in that drove them to this. For every effect there is a cause, so what caused this man to do this? Hate would be my guess but what caused that hate? My guess is that Dylann didn't have the best of experiences with black people. Maybe Dylann got picked on all through school and he never could let it go, much like the kids that shoot up high schools in this country. Except maybe most of Dylann's bullies happened to be black. What Dylann did is the worst thing a human being could do to another human being but what drives these people to commit these acts is often overlooked.

He's hardly going to see another inmate from being so isolated. But people keep coming up with these County jail general population ideas that they see on TV.

True. If he doesn't get death, he will be hanging out with Terry Nichols and the Unabomber in CO. Are they going the Fed hate crime route?

The state of race relations in this country is absolutely terrible.

It's a powderkeg that's about to blow. The Sixties on steroids.

quote:

He would be protected, but it would only be a matter of time before he was done for. It would only take one slip up. Then the AB would retaliate and it will be an all out war.

---

It would probably make the Attica riots look tame. Race relations have nosedived over the last five years in this country.

Dude was messed up in the head

It seems that when white supremacists attack minorities, they NEVER target the shitty element (like gangs and drug dealers). They always go after the normal ones.
fricking cowards.

Reminds me of a school safety / school shooting conference I attended. Conference included local, state law enforcement, FBI and other experts.

Hands down, one of the most engaging speakers I have ever listened to was Lt. Colonel Dave Grossman, (the FBI agent who followed him joked he would not have attended if he knew he would follow the Lt. Colonel, )

Main Point:

Lt. Colonel Grossman made the point that you have to try and understand that the school shooters, and most mass shooters, are not looking for a gun fight. They are cowards and that is why they choose places like schools. He asked, "How many of these individuals show up at the police station? We would be glad to return fire if they walked into the station and pull a gun."

They are cowards for many reasons, however, most of these individuals have historically chosen places that are unlikely to have armed individuals or places that are legally prevented from having armed individuals.

So, he did not go to the street corner in a bad area of town for the same reason school shooters did not show up at the local police station. Cowards.

Short Video Discussing His Book "Sheepdogs"



I have his book "Killology." Found the research about soldiers being reluctant to shoot at enemy soldiers very interesting as well as how the military used training to "desensitize" the shooting process.

I have nothing to add about him, but I heard the victims' families speak today on the news.

Their comments were amazing to me. Despite his horrendous act, they expressed the hope that God forgives him,

I don't think I could do that.
