I await the comments from friends and family about what a quiet, polite young man he was, and how this is totally unexpected and out of character.

In a more perfect world, they'd take his type and throw him in with the prison general population, preferably a cell block full of black child molesters.
Putting a gun to his head is too easy and painless.

South Carolina has the death penalty.

They also have the insanity defense. This is likely to turn into another public spectacle.

This is also going to turn into another crusade for stricter gun controls. The weapon is said to be a .45 semi auto that his father gave him for his birthday.

In the most recent push in Congress for more gun controls, the proposed bill pushed by Chuck Schumer and others included very strict background check requirements, to the point that a gift from a father to a son would require a check. As far as I know, SC has no requirement for a background check on any private party transfer.

If the kid has nothing on his record other than a drug bust, he probably would have passed a federal check anyway. So of course now the federal check has to be made harder.

And so it begins:

In a press briefing early Thursday afternoon, Obama said the massacre should spark national introspection about the availability of guns. That it took place in a black church also “raises questions about a dark part of history, he said.

Sounds like it is time for two more national dialogues, this time about guns and race.

Also, the Justice Department has already started an investigation into this as a possible hate crime.

The kid got away in a CAR.
We have to outlaw cars.

And the door to the Church was unlocked!
We need to outlaw open doors.

A 19 yr old introvert without a drivers license, no social life etc, taking psychotropic drugs.......and some idiot gives him a .45 for his birthday.

I know who should be going to prison...........

You can blame it on sins of the father, but I think this kid would have killed even if he did not have a gun. In a few days you will be able to profile this nutcase better. I could be wrong but I think pure hate is on the rise all over (not just the US), race, religion, what have you.

Accessory to murder.

Second amendment be damned but stupid careless people shouldn't own guns. I've had friends try and hand me a loaded weapon. They got an earful.

Why do some people continue to live under the delusion that a perfect world can be manufactured by imperfect human beings?

No matter how many laws you pass or how many implements of death you outlaw, you'll never stop one human being from killing another...or lots of others.

Did that quote from Obama occur before or after he spoke out against black on black crime?

Also, do we really need an investigation into whether he hates blacks after going out of his way to kill nine of them in a church?

You take their guns away from them, not only could they not kill anyone, they couldn't defend themselves. They couldn't slap, much less fight, their own way out of a wet paper bag. What a punk, this one is.

Prayers for the people he murdered.

I always felt these people are just BULLIES who think they're always better than someone else when they're really just PUSSIES when confronted.

I've seen enough people who act this way over the years. They're really brave when they have a weapon and the victims are just going about their own business and never expecting someone to act out in this manner.

Would he be better person if he didn't hate them, just picked them at random?
