Wonderful. Well if true that would seem to settle that. The guy was quite literally insane, drugged out of his mind, probably should have been committed long ago. And his uncle gave him a gun. /facepalm
Assult weapons are allready regulated, just beacause a semi automatic rifle looks like a M-16 or an AK-47 does not mean it functions the same way.
If this boys father gave him a weapon as a present, this should be examined. Usually racism is a learned, I wonder if the apple didn't fall far from the tree in this instance.
Should't be any class of "hate" crimes, they are just crimes, some more serious and brutal that others.
I disagree with that statement, racism is *taught*. You cannot learn racism.
Ever see young children at a playground being racist?
And his uncle gave him a gun.
Mr. Roofs father gave him a .45-caliber pistol for his birthday this year, Mr. Cowles said.
You are making numerous assumptions based on little or no evidence. At this point we know that he was in possession of a drug used to help opiate addicts refrain from doing drugs, and that there are rumors of Roof taking a lot of drugs. None of those facts means he is "quite literally insane," much less that there was ever a basis for committing him.
Racism is both taught and learned.
Father gave him the gun as a 21st birthday present.

I never said I had a viable legal case.
And by insane I suppose I mean "under the influence of a psychoactive drug". "Effectively insane" if you prefer. Just from what I'm reading, the drugs played no small part in his actions.

He used drugs heavily a lot, Mullins said. It obviously harder than marijuana. He was like a pill popper, from what I understood. Like Xanax, and stuff like that.
Perhaps for strictly legal purposes, but his intention appears to be driven solely by the desire to terrorize people based on a well-visualized ideology. From a practical standpoint, I don't think his inability to link up with a formal organization really changes anything. In fact, seems to me to be even worse, as peer pressure would tend to discourage this behavior.I only disagree in that there is no indication Roof had an affiliation with any organization, which is a prerequisite to calling this an act of terrorism, at least under any definition of terrorism I know of. It certainly looks like a racially motivated attack.
I swear to Cow, you are an idiot. YOU I agree should not eat beef. Cows are much smarter than you. And much nicer. And I suspect they smell better. It is entirely natural that you would want to worship them, as they are your superiors in every way.What a putrid shithole and shithead of a people - beef munching vermin who think the earth is 6000 years old.
Must be those wonderful judeo-christian 'values!'
what are these idiots doing about their gun culture? No protests? Poor Abe, must be turning over in his grave - right Obama?
Like that Euro trash that murdered kids in his attack in Norway, this is another fine example of Christian Terrorism - bringing you mayhem, genocide, slavery, and zombie worship from the Religion of Love (RoL) - just like the Religion of Peace (RoP).
Sigh.. untouchables...
Agreed, but they are surely sufficient to make arming him seem like a criminally dumb idea.You are making numerous assumptions based on little or no evidence.

Jesus works in mysterious ways.
The "source" for Drudge's characterization of the drug is none other than Infowars.com. I have no idea if suboxone causes any violent tendencies, but I certainly don't think the existence of some complaints to that effect on the Internet are a credible authority for the proposition that it does.
I take prednisone (corticosteroid) for Polymyalgia Rheumatica and when I was taking high doses I occasionally experienced Roid Rage symptoms. No where in the information for prednisone does it warn about it causing rage/anger. I think there's a strong possibility that suboxone could cause violent tendencies.

Psychiatric derangements may appear when corticosteroids are used, ranging from euphoria, insomnia, mood swings, personality changes, and severe depression, to frank psychotic manifestations. Also, existing emotional instability or psychotic tendencies may be aggravated by corticosteroids.
I'd rather address the poverty and mental health issues that are the root cause of crimes like these. This is not a gun issue, this is a social violence issue. But guns are easy to target for those who fear them.
And if you really would shy away from having kids because of American gun violence you only show your ignorance. All violent crime, including gun crime, is going down and has been going down for over 10 years nationally. These mass shootings are a drop in the bucket compared to what Chicago suffers in a single month.

Nah it's an ideological opportunity for the gun control activists, who will no doubt generalize one racist psychopath to all gun owners to further demonize and restrict those who had no part in this.
A sick criminal is a product of a sick society and culture; this guy is the epitome of western "culture" and society - gun-toting, bible-thumping, inbred sack of shit prone to murderous rampages and other acts of terrorism. In other words, a "good Christian" living up to those Judeo-Christian "values!"
You do realize that by your own standards your own society is a lot sicker than ours, right? Guess these 6 guys are living up to those good Eastern Hindu values: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-32959841
Or you just eat your own shit and then spout about how great you are. No one here respects you, and if you constantly talk like this I bet no one in real life respects you. If you have kids they are probably humiliated to have you as a father, and the only way a woman would marry you was if it was arranged. Get out of here and go find a life.
