Update: story is he got a .45 as a birthday present from his father. (Cue cries of closing the “gunshow loophole”)
And the media and Libs are already gleefully wallowing in the blood of the slain over this and hasn’t even been 24 hours.
Tragedy and my heart goes out to the families.
This will take about 3 seconds for the msm to fire up the gun ban talk and racism.
Saw this on FB. Hopefully they’ll get the bastard soon.
And people wonder why I carry in Church.
We recently had a “always carry” discussion on this forum where someone couldn’t relate to the notion of always carrying a gun everywhere. Well if it can happen in church, it can happen anywhere.
Too bad somebody in the church this day wasn’t carrying.
It’s not worth it until you need it and then your own life isn’t worth it.
White male shooter in his twenties, shoots up a black church and kills a democratic state senator. Sad that racism and political extremism can lead to this.
Lets not start tossing the “they will blame guns and republicans” line out until the bodys are cold guys.
“The only reason someone could walk into a church and shoot people praying is out of hate,”
sick of this race crap !!!
shooter is sick in the head plain and simple
Shooter still on the loose and unidentified, but the MSM has already determined his motive and are calling it a hate crime.
Well, to be fair, the Police Chief called it a hate crime right off of the bat. MSM will now just run with it, even if facts later discount the theory.
History tells us that details reported this early in the investigation are often untrue, but it is sounding like the shooter made some statements to witnesses that are indicative of racially motivated violence.
And too bad that if someone carries in that church the next time they are open, they could be charged with a crime.
Except they already are… Obviously it’s been to long since the last “mass” shooting happened so as a country we’ve been overdue. They gotta get that message back on point.
time to put on the tin foil hat. Who thinks this was a False Flag?
As expected the media is doing it’s best to play up. vs down, the racial issue. The actual radio headline I heard this morning was “white gunmen kills nine black church members in South Carolina”
Framing it immediately so race is the focus to increase tensions vs any attempt to simply say one adult man killed nine others in a church.
Do we have any motive? Maybe his ex wife went to that church, or maybe he’s a straight up member of the KKK. What matters is that nine people are dead, not the color of who did it and who died from it.
I predict Asian with history of mental illness, medication, social problems. Since he didn’t off himself yet he’s not going to. Will give up when found.
Just sickening. The poor families left to deal with the heartbreak and chaos. To add insult to injury they will now also be preyed upon for pawns in the race baiting and gun ban game. Of course it’s a hateful act, and to call it a “hate crime” only implies that if race or religion weren’t involved then it wouldn’t be hateful. These folks have a very rough road ahead.
Is it just me, or do the photos they have released make the suspect look like he isn’t white?
Another shooting at a gun free zone. The 2A wasn’t written for kicks folks.

Places Off-Limits Even With a Permit/License
Section 23-31-215 (M).
(8) church or other established religious sanctuary (unless authorized);
My immediate thoughts on seeing those photos. He looks less white than Rachel Dolezal (seriously, not meant as a joke). Maybe he looked more white to the one surviving witness? Or maybe they are just assuming and/or describing it this way for political reasons?
Without the kind of proof that requires at least several days of investigation (the regular police-work style), I don’t see how this can be labeled as a “hate crime” except on pure speculation.
Prayers for the families. Hope they nail this turd.
Sad state of affairs that we are living in for sure. Decades of piss poor leadership at every level of society are coming home to roost slowly but surely. The flames of this one will be fanned by all.
