Why don't you just give up thinking about black people? I'm mean, really, why are so many white right wingers so obsessed with what black people are doing? Just leave them alone. I can imagine when you have low self-esteem it might help to look for a group you see doing worse than you and attempt to emphasize, stress and reinforce that group's struggles.

One must wonder if that's the real reason - low self-esteem - why a great many of white right wing males have a perpetual hardon for the struggles of our fellow African American citizens! Black people just can't get it right with you guys. Gee, I wonder why? Maybe because you feel socially threatened by an entire race as if you were still in high school?

Why does it matter their mental state? I believe that anybody that kills someone else cannot be sane. I think that it is only fair to execute them. If you take someone’s life, you should surrender yours.

I hear they filed for death penalty charges. If found guilty I would rather see him get life.

I think he'll like prison. The Aryan gangs will
protect him. He'll be the Prince of Nazis.

I say, put him down.

I don't remember if I posted this before but my views on this are non-racial. People like Dylann Roof need to die more often during arrest. We don't need a trial that will go on for months, followed by millions spent on incarceration.

No one should be executed.

Its ridiculous...so Old Testament, sooo last Century.

Also, giving a government the power to legally murder citizens in the form of DP = not smart.

Personally I'm against the death penalty for anyone, and I can just tell by looking at his photos that Dylann Roof is mentally disturbed in some way. I see his action as a manifestation of racial hatred that's been cooked up by the media since Obama was elected. Not to say he's not responsible of course, but I just don't feel like killing him would help advance social justice and many of his victims' families don't want him to die.

No thanks.
