Stick him in with the general prison population. Especially your typical armed robber, drug dealer, murderer or flash-mob artist.

Default Who is really to blame for the SC church shootings

IMO its Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson and the rest of the race baiters. Obama included. If they did not create boogie men and anti white atmosphere they would be nothing. They have no other talents. By inciting blacks to hate whites they also incite whites to hate blacks. By keeping the divide going attacking things that mean little to nothing like the confederate flag and trying to dig up graves throws gas on embers. Then these same asshats scream racism when the very fire they created ignites. Seems to me if blacks quit being pandered to as victims stood up and owned the degrading of black culture they would be miles ahead of the game. As long as they let the Jacksons, Obamas and Sharptons of the world play them like a fiddle they will never get ahead.

First of all, fires don't ignite, they're already been ignited. If you're gonna try and right poetically on your second account, make sure it at least makes sense.

And I blame Dylan Roof for the shooting. No one else is responsible. You can try and blame the people you don't like politicly al you want, it doesn't change the reality that only his actions are what lead to this.

Dylan Roof. It's all on him.

Are you of the opinion generally that the person doing the act is really just a puppet of someone else?

If I recall correctly, talking is still legal in this country. Shooting up churches is not.

OP has a point and what he writes could be huge influence. It does take some craziness by the Perps to set them off.

Would the Germans who killed at the death camps not done so without Hitler and his band of thugs?

No, what he writes is silliness. And your statement is just as silly. Hitler and his thugs egged on like-minded people to kill Jews and others. The OP is saying that blacks egged on racists to kill other blacks, so by parallel reasoning would say that, for instance, the Jews were really to blame for their own murder.

First of all if your gong to use ad-homonym attacks you have already lost the argument before you got to the gate. So the rest of what you said is duly dismissed.

To me the shootings all have a common pattern. The shooters are always or for the most part, young white males in their 20's. This latest shooting in SC does definitely have racial written all over it, however it is still the same the young 20 something white male. I would have thought by now, this obvious fact would have become the focus, to find the solution to this mess. Otherwise we just nervously wait for the next one, which will surely come.


So who is to blame. All of us that have not put our foot down to stop all these killings. It is an epidemic and our chances of it happening to us, or our families is increasing daily. Personally I think it is a national disgrace and I'm embarrassed by our gov't, and many Americans that have tolerated this. One person cannot stop it, but as a nation we could do something.

Yes put Roof to death and the one in Colorado also.

So if some liberal goes and shoots up a right wing radio station or monster truck rally, can we blame it on conservatives like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity?

See? Two can play at that game.
