It's Dylan "Storm" Roof. Is that "Storm" as in "Stormfront", the racist white power website? [View all]

This website promotes "lone wolf" attacks.

Stormfront wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormfront_(website)

Stormfront presents itself as engaged in a struggle for unity, identifying culture, speech and free association as its core concerns,[39] though members of Stormfront are especially passionate about racial purity.[47] It promotes a lone wolf mentality, linking to white nationalist theorist Louis Beam's influential work on leaderless resistance and offering a sympathetic assessment of Benjamin Nathaniel Smith, a white supremacist who committed suicide after a racially-motivated killing spree in June 1999
