    Roof killed them because they were black. There is no evidence that Flanagan shot his former colleagues because they were white.

    Which doesn't change the fact he exhibited racist behavior at pretty much every stop along his career path.

    Totally untrue. He saw others appearing to exhibit racist behavior.

    It doesn't. In fact, I said the opposite. Perhaps you erred with the quote function.

    "I'm not racist, just all the white people I ever spent any time around."

    I'm sure Alison Parker would be thrilled to know she is movement conservatism's martyr.

    Fair point, but he did not shoot them because they were white. He shot them because he felt slighted. And he apparently was paranoid about a great many things.

    If they weren't white, he wouldn't have shot them.

    You don't know that. What if they were Hispanic/Middle Eastern/Asian?

    Ever stop to think why they may be racist?

    Didn't the video guy record a tirade the shooter did at the workplace? That might have something to do with it.

    Video guy deserved it like a bad soccer ref.
