(9,463 posts)Mooresville, as the crow flies. I love it there, just too bad the state is so red and backwards.
I guess you could say we're sometimes neighbors .
d_b
(7,463 posts)So I've yet to experience 'the crazy', but my home state of AK has its share as well. It's a beautiful area, minus the heat.
Still job hunting...
cwydro
(51,308 posts)And our state is not backwards.
Sorry to disagree.

Noticeably quiet as usual in cases such as these.

(12,530 posts)In no way does a cop doing his or her job correctly forgive the cops who don't.
cwydro
(51,308 posts)but there are hardworking good cops out there.
And I'm glad.

(15,222 posts)I'm always glad, too, in situations like this, when the suspect is apprehended without any further lives being lost. At least they got him before he went somewhere else and started shooting people.

(20,629 posts)vile garbage he believes in.
hamsterjill
(15,222 posts)And I want him even to have a fair and impartial trial. I want him convicted where there is not a shadow of a doubt as to his guilt. Then put him away for good.

(146,318 posts)I expected this to be another case where one of these terrorists killed himself before being apprehended. Now, we may find out what the hell prompted this heinous attack, if it's not just pure racial hatred.

(146,318 posts)It sucks all around. I'm sickened by the whole thing, and am afraid this will continue for weeks at least. Obama's speaking about it right now as I write.
MoonRiver
(36,926 posts)Obama wants to do something to increase restrictions preventing irresponsible gun ownership, so these tragedies will occur LESS FREQUENTLY. But that's not going to happen in our NRA controlled congress.

(35,323 posts)Or underlying events.
But the jacket patches--pre-1994 Republic of South Africa and the Rhodesian flag--tie in nicely with the "you're taking over our country" report from the AME church survivors. Those are two anglophone countries of note that had white regimes "taken over" by black regimes.
I'd look to more local or personal events, IMHO.
MineralMan
(146,318 posts)I'm sick about the whole thing. Racism at work, once again. I have to simply shake my head and wait to see what comes out. There's no rational explanation, since racism is irrational from the get-go.

Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)I remember back in 1997 or so, there was a guy in California whose name was "Al Nino" and he had to disconnect his phone because he kept getting nasty calls from people mad at him about the shitty weather.
romanic
(2,841 posts)I'd rather he got offed, but honestly it's good that he was caught alive and in such a short amount of time. Now the people of Charleston can rest easier today and recover after this madness.
