In reply to the discussion: Roof's murders all stem from this country's pathology of gun violence, sexism & white supremacy [View all]JonLP24
(29,897 posts)37. I don't know shit where he got his views
The whole right wing militias get some very false information leading to some very bizarre beliefs which they impassioned believe in. For example, I was searching for "Giving rights to terrorists" to research more on how the right and they type of framing they use. First page "Obama gives 2nd Amendment Rights to terrorists" I know somebody out there read that and believes it.
Though there is probably some truth to what you say and also worth discussing. Certainly, I'd add the violence all-around in America and outside.

If he had said "rape our kids", would this be indicative of a hatred of kids?

It probably seems extreme to some, to refer to this act as sexist, but you are right.
