You all don’t get it. These people who have lost loved ones are people of faith. In fact, Charleston has an abundance of people of faith. These people understand repentance and the need for forgiveness. The families of the victims would be some of the first to take the parents of this killer in their arms and mourn with them. Did you not hear these family members tell the killer that they forgive them and hope he seeks God love? The family members are in such pain, but they are God-fearing people who know how hate can eat them up. And, by the way, the judge did NOT ask people to feel sorry for the parents - he said they need support.

DCUM liberals don't feel the need to understand anything. Hating the church-going hicks is enough. The fact that a large number of those "hicks" in the Lowcountry is black doesn't register.

You're not any better than the liberals who hate "church-going hicks," to use your words. I get so tired of certain conservatives and certain liberals stereotyping each other on this site. No, we don't all think the way you do, pp. Anyway, to address what the earlier pp said - I'm in awe of the victims' families. They were amazing at the arraignment.

Unlike DCUM toy liberals, I don't pretend to be better than anybody else. I did not identify as a conservative, so thank you for not stereotyping.

Oh, and where did you read in my post that I called you a conservative? I said you were no better than the people you complain about and then I went on to complain about certain conservatives and certain liberals. But your response was to go on and stereotype an entire group of people you disagree with -- which was exactly my point. Thanks for proving it. BTW, I'm just criticizing you and not anyone else who shares your political beliefs.

So, you criticize me by talking about certain other people? Okay

If you're trying to troll me, you're doing a pretty bad job of it. If you're not, your logic is breaking down. You missed your mark.

Here's what I've seen: Post equating Roof's actions to racism, and posts pointing out that prominent national-level conservative politicians refuse to use the word "racism" to describe his actions.

This does not mean that conservatives are racist. It means these specific conservatives have a hard time using the word racism, or even, it appears, admitting that racism exists.

The obvious question this raises is, "who are these national-level conservative politicians afraid to offend by using the word 'racism'?" The most obvious answer is Republican voters. So, ironically, it's arguable that the national-level conservative politicians think their voters are racist or have a problem acknowledging racism.

Hmmm, he's also burning the American flag. Wonder if Jeff saw this along with the confederate flag photo? If so, why leave it out? I don't know many tea party members who would do this...none in fact.

And yet I have not heard anyone call me this piece of horse manure a THUG. I have followed this story on the radio in my car, in my office, at home, and on DCUM. No one has referred to this contemptible person as a THUG. Guess that's reserved for others.

Nah, I called him a thug, murderer, criminal, and POS when everyone else was calling him mentally ill. And as I click back in this thread, I find that there are still people,who would rather think this person mentally ill instead of just an evil, cowardly thuggish murderer. He is what he is. As I mentioned way up thread, the history books are full of evil men who were not mentally ill. The history books are full of evil men who instigated and participated in massacres and the anilihation of people, and yet these murderers were not mentally ill. They were simply evil people who deemed people different than them subhuman.

IMHO, he's not a thug. Thug would be a compliment. A thug is a tough guy. This guy is spindly and pathetic. I think I could beat the crap out of him, and I'm a woman.
