Charleston mass murderer.

I ask you, is there anything easier than being a Monday morning quarterback? Not only that, he could use some lessons in tact.

South Carolina state Rep. Bill Chumley (R) told CNN he thinks the nine victims of a shooting in a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina, "waited their turn to be shot."

Chumley was defending the use of the Confederate flag at the South Carolina capitol grounds when he made the remarks, blaming "misuse and miseducation of the flag" for the debate over its use. Chumley argued access to guns, not the Confederate flag, is what South Carolina lawmakers should be focusing on in the aftermath of the massacre.

"These people sat in there and waited their turn to be shot," Chumley said. "That's sad. Somebody in there with a means of self-defense could've stopped this."

Chumley argued the victims "waited" because the shooter "reloaded his gun in the process."
"Why didn't somebody just do something?" Chumley added. "You've got one skinny person shooting a gun. We need to do what we can."
