Why did he do it? Of course the initial conclusion reached by the press is because of racism, which may turn out to be correct. But why do that at a church, other than that he wanted to kill Christians? Or maybe the reason is more complicated still.

And of course do we know for sure that this man actually did it? The press gets it wrong so often, it is hard to automatically give them the benefit of the doubt at this point.
We need to wait until all the facts come out.

Sorry pal it tipped over the foul line when reviewed on instant replay.

This is true.

Doesn't even make sense. Churchgoing Christians who are black and female (who he killed) are "raping" and "taking over the country?"

Either this freak is so far out there, or there's more to it.

It is a shame that we have chosen to be that. We did not and do not have to be this way.

Another psychotic blood thirsty foolish race inflamed individual commits a spree killing.

Does anyone else but me, see how people whip themselves up into a lather over completely foolish causes which they have no power to control or change? Race. It's the biggest waste of energy to attempt to rationalize. Because it's completely irrational.

This country needs to get a grip on itself and stop the race baiting.

When was the last time this country saw a shoot out in a religious establishment? Probably Overland Park Jewish Community Center in April of last year.

And the culprit, another race obsessed fool.

It's not just race, it's the "new world order", it's "the banking cartel", etc.

But the bottom line is, in the case of most of these mass killings, it's a lone, powerless loser who lashes out at the world for some sort of relevance. I think we're seeing more of these things as the internet, mass communication, and social media spread the word to other losers that if you want to make your mark, get a gun and shoot some people and attach some agenda to it. I don't think that the main point is political, it's about lone disturbed losers. The fact that someone bought this loser a .45 for his birthday is one of the most troubling things about this case. How clueless can you be
