Report: Roof planned massacre for months. Wanted new Civil War

[RandySF]

The roommate of the white, 21-year old man who allegedly massacred nine people at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina said Thursday that he thought the suspect had been planning the attack for about six months.

Dalton Tyler told ABC News that he'd known Dylann Storm Roof for about seven months to a year. Tyler told the news outlet that he last saw Roof about a week ago and knew he'd been planning something like the Charleston church attack "for six months."

“He was big into segregation and other stuff,” Tyler told ABC News. “He said he wanted to start a civil war. He said he was going to do something like that and then kill himself.”

Tyler described Roof as "on and off" with his parents, according to ABC News. Members of Roof's immediate family have not given extensive comment on his alleged crime.

8. I'm going to say it's because racist talk is common

Do this didn't stand out. There are probably people who say things like " I'm going to kill that. ............." all the time

3. They always do for some reason.

People involved in hate worship get so wrapped up in their infantile fantasies about the world, they think they can be the spark to burn things back to 1861.

11. The biggest mistake made after the Civil War

was not totally occupying the south for at least 50 years and pounding it into their heads that they were DEFEATED ONCE AND FOR ALL and their shitty, racist way of life would not be allowed to continue.

At least the lesson was learned before WW II ended. While Germany and Japan weren't occupied for decades, they were made to confront the evil they did, internalize the wrongness of it, and choose a different path so that they would go on to become respectable members of the world community, as they are today. The South was never made to confront its own evil, and they reinstated it as Jim Crow the first chance they got, and made it stick for nearly a century.

10. "He was big into segregation..."

What in the actual fuck.

This is like the high school friend, too. Oh, sure, he made racist jokes all the time, but who doesn't, amirite?

Then you have this fuckwad: Oh, sure, he was always threatened to shoot all the n-words and start a race war, but that's just ordinary sorta white dude shit, you know?

Unbelievable.
