He told the people to report that he had committed this crime. I think it is clear that he did it. I am grateful that CD provided the name of the place to include with my title. I am good with it.
The reason I don't think the thread is well named is because it requires the reader to click on it to determine what "An unholy act of man" means. People scan over these titles pretty quickly in most cases, and if they do not get a pretty fast and direct sense that the subject is one they are interested in, they move on. It was an unholy act, regardless of what the motive turns out to be, but the title in my opinion is not the best place to introduce such an evaluation.
Also, the SC in the title forces the reader to decipher an abbreviation, still without any clear reference to the subject of the thread at this point. Could it be Southern California? No, it is South Carolina.
So finally in the last word of the title, there is the word shooting. It is my sense you would have been better off "Nine people shot dead in South Carolina Church." Or, if you prefer, "White man kills nine black people in South Carolina Church." Either one of those titles, or something similar to those, would have been more effective at informing and encouraging people to open and read your thread.
And again, the sticky at the top. I know you did not do this, and that the moderator was just trying to be helpful, but most people usually skip right over the stickied articles, as they are usually administrative in nature. I did not see it there to begin with and I am confident that a lot of other people will not either.
Why do they need the death penalty? Just shoot him when they find him. Done deal. No trial, no tax payers money wasted. He doesn't deserve the formal process of a trial and death penalty. That's too good for him.
Yes that's I've been thinking this morning , they don't say he's around 21 , just that he's 21 ?
What you guys are forgetting is you're dealing with high level intel. The FEDS can find out anything about anyone. They have sources that we don't even know about.
Among the dead was the church's pastor, state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, 41, who had been a pastor since he was 18. Pinckney was the youngest African-American elected to the South Carolina legislature when he won office in 1996 at age 23 and had been a state senator since 2000.

A title is the least of my concern, and it is not that serious to me about how many people comment. The story of this man killing nine people is out there, and there has been a post started on Current Events as well. So it is all good! I posted what I felt in my hearts of hearts, last thing I was worried about was the title. This is not an academic exercise, in which I have excelled at doing, but if you would like to administer an F for my title then by all means please do so.

Duly noted. Good points.
An Unholy Act of Man- Church Shooting Charleston SC. 9 Dead.
There have been many stories about unarmed black men getting killed by the police.
Now here is a clear cut threat.
Are the police going to treat this 21y/o white male like the threatening criminal that he is and kill him? (I hope so)
Will they spare his life?
Or will he end up being another case study and declared "insane"?
Will white privilege be in full force?
Are you advocating that he be shot on sight like a rabid dog?
