Dylann Roof and Charles Manson [View all]
Before I write anything else, I want to be clear, am NOT implying that Roof is insane. I think he is perfectly sane. Not even a sociopath.
The moment I heard that Roof had stated, to at least one friend, he wanted to start "a race war," I immediately thought about Charles Manson. The most manipulative criminal I can think of. The man that instructed his followers to brutality murder 7 innocent people. He was convicted in the Tate/Labianca murders because of the work of Vincent Bugliosi and some others.
What astounded me yesterday and today is how many people are out there, to this day, defending Manson. They defend him. They defend his rantings. They defend the "race war" mentality.
I won't link to any of it. It's too vile. It's too unbelievable. It reeks of the seeds of the Holocaust.
I have to wonder how many Dylann Roofs are out there and how much of his "philosophy" came from the insane rantings of Charles Manson and his current supporters.
