The sister of Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof was arrested Wednesday on charges of bringing weapons and drugs to her South Carolina high school, authorities said.Morgan Roof, 18, was arrested after a school resource officer at the A.C. Flora High School in Columbia, South Carolina was notified that Roof was carrying marijuana, pepper spray and a knife on campus, the Richland County Sheriff's Department said.
Roof had also made an alarming Snapchat post expressing anger about the National School Walkout, The Post and Courier reported. A 17-minute walkout was staged at schools around the country on Wednesday to honor the 17 people killed at Florida's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last month and call for stricter gun control laws.
No A.C. Flora High students were harmed Wednesday, authorities said.
Roof was charged with simple possession of marijuana and two counts of carrying weapons on school grounds. A judge set a $5,000 bond for Roof under the condition that she would not return to the school, CNN affiliate WIS reported.

Where are these kids getting such anger and hatred ? It is pretty sad and tragic when they act out.
Well, let's see...

Yes, from where did her ideas that blacks are the problem and that a gun is the solution come?
Rhetorical question.
No one needs to go looking for those claims in this day and age. We are regularly bombarded with them.
Either that, or some form of mental illness. One thing's for sure... they aren't born with it.
That's not necessarily true. Sociopathy has been shown to run in families. I recommend Martha Stout's excellent book titled " The Sociopath Next Door" . In the case of the Roof kids, I'm betting they had that funky gene, and then their environment bathed them in hatred. That's a nasty combination.

I was referring more to 'hatred' aspect more than anything else, but I see your point. I still think that specific prejudices/hatreds are learned from outside influences. Perhaps defective genes on top of that is what causes people to act on their hatreds.
