    My sense is that the cops know A LOT more than they are leading on. I'm guessing they know who this guy is. It's just a matter of finding him. I wouldn't be surprised if he's put a bullet in his mouth by now.

    Dylan Roof from Lexington, SC is the suspect. He will be caught shortly. This dude has zero chance.

    I am just waiting for someone (not meaning here) who will say that if only the priest had a gun this would never have happen.

    hey last 12, can you talk more about you were saying about the hate down there. I am going to plead ignorance

    The gun debate has been over for a long time in my mind. The side for reform has won the 'debate' in most convincing fashion; however, the side that foolishly denies the correlation between gun deaths and gun ownership still prevails- no will on the part of leadership to upset the herd.

    Like all, I don't know the details, but I grow weary thinking of how people get to the point in their life where they feel they need to go do something like this. Were things really that bad? Where is our resilience? When we are troubled, why do some lash out instead of working through their troubles?

    Messed up, man. Messed up.

    i just hope that the media really talks less about this Dylan person and more about the victims but I am sure that will not happen. can't wait to see all these doctors on TV talking about what could have brought this kid to do this ( I know he was 21 but I still think that he is a kid)

    Reuters reported that Carson Cowles, the uncle of Dylann Roof, said he recognized his nephew from photos released by police. Roof also received a .45-calibre pistol from his father as a birthday present in April, Cowles said.

    Another blood sacrifice for liberty.

    My bad, it is allegedly his Facebook photo, in which he is mean mugging with a jacket featuring patches of the Flags of aparteid era South Africa and Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia).

    Thanks for updates, Last-12. Must be a very heavy scene in your town right now.

    Honestly, I was hoping for this kid to just be killed. We don't need a trial. We know why he did it. He let 3 people live to tell the story. He's not worth the resources. Instead, this kid will live another 20 years before he sees the lethal injection bed or hopefully the electric chair. I only hope that his jail cell has no A/C. It's well over 100 degrees down here for the next week. Let this fucker suffer.

    Yes, from what I've seen, he's been arrested before for drugs.
