I see you are a conservative, I see you, as your ilk, are focused on punishment and are avoiding motivation....and trying to distract with claims of my "celebration". Take your sick comments about me and shove them.
Right wing? He's a 21 year old kid. What makes you think this has anything to do with politics at all?
One of his former classmates/friends did an interview and said he was a conservative.
Same can be asked about calling something terrorism rather than just mass murder.....terrorism and hate crimes are more than just murder
Again, like so many cons, you stay focused on "punishment" and continue to avoid motivation.
You keep proving my point.

Erod is saying it because he has a record of supporting police brutality, I say it because I doubt the victims of this crime will get proper justice. There is no shared sentiment.
Why the **** does that matter? the last couple of spree killers were pretty left wing, it's not the politics, it's the ****ing nutball.
A pathetic attempt to to divert from the motivation of the this White shooter, not to mention a complete ignorance of those who created and pushed the internment policy.The bombing of Pearl Harbor was perpetrated by Japanese and Japanese can't be trusted so we better round them all up. A "social conservative" did that?
Reports are coming in that Roof's primary target was Pickney because Pickney was pushing to have body cameras on police. This may not have been a hate crime after all. Instead it may have been a hit put out by the police union.
Then you don't have much of a point. Motivation can be a mitigating factor in court where it comes to sentencing, but the law shouldn't try to play mind reader. The law is about what you do, not what you think.
That's nice. I'm just saying that there is evidence that he was a conservative. Everyone can decide if that has any implications for themselves.He was a twisted **** was what he was. Being a "conservative" doesn't paint all conservatives with the same brush that was used by the other poster. And one interview with one classmate doesn't make it a fact. His political lean has nothing to do with what took place. From what we have seen and heard so far, this was motivated by race and race alone. And the party of racists isn't the "conservative" one anyway.

FFS...I wasn't making a point about sentencing/punishment, and if you had any comprehension of what I have been arguing, you would have understood that instantly.Then you don't have much of a point. Motivation can be a mitigating factor in court where it comes to sentencing, but the law shouldn't try to play mind reader. The law is about what you do, not what you think.

Terrorism is usually an act designed to make people change their activities and lifestyles out of fear. Hate crimes - or mass shootings, like the one in the Connecticut, are more about freaks seeking some unspecified "revenge" for real or imagined wrongs. The school shooting struck more terror into parents' hearts than did 9-11, but it was still just a crime. The shooter here - will, hopefully - get the death penalty, but not because he "hated" rather because he pulled that trigger and slaughtered human beings. The tag of "hate crime" just gets in the way. It means nothing.
There's lots of evidence that he was a conservative. There's some evidence that he was a Republican. He's definitely a Christian.
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.
[Dylan] Roof,[ the 21-year-old white gunman,] sat with churchgoers inside Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church for about an hour on Wednesday before opening fire, Police Chief Gregory Mullen said.
He reloaded five times even as victims pleaded with him to stop, a relative of [Pastor & SC Senator] Pinckney's said. Sylvia Johnson, a cousin, told MSNBC that a survivor told her the gunman reloaded five times during the attack. Pinckney tried to talk him out of it, she said.
"He just said, 'I have to do it. You rape our women and you're taking over our country," Johnson said.
Is there a forum for those who insist on wearing blindfolds?There is a forum for this sort of stuff, it's called "Conspiracy Theories".
Not really. Unless, you're suggesting the same officers were at all three events. :roll:
