The shooter Dylann Storm Roof website .. just some info I've found so far.

[Ichingcarpenter]

What I've learned so far so take it as that

So far being verified via whois and domain registration searches. Also law enforcement has confirmed that the photos in the zip file being hosted are originals via EXIF data....strange one at that...he purchased the domain from Queensland, AU and hosted in Russia...pretty amazing for a kid who didn't have any form of income....and didn't graduate HS.

The one large zip file (who does that?) linked on his website is full of images of the kid. The EXIF data example pulled from one photos gives little more than the camera used KODAK EASYSHARE Camera, C1530, No GPS.

Rtf88.txt - the "88" is some kind of neo-nazi Magic number "H" is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so "88" is used as "HH" which means "Heil Hitler" in certain groups.

The website hosting - odd. Maybe he had to go offshore to get someone to host his offensive material? Did he have it up previously and have to move it? Doubtful. It seems to be related to an admission of his act after the fact. I wonder when it was published?

Now I wonder if they have his computer?

1. I believe they did say,

after he was taken into custody, that the police had taken his computer. Don't have a link for that, though.

[Ichingcarpenter]

4. Since this is a federal hate crime

I'm hoping the Justice department will track down his free republic handle and storm front handle.

[Electric Monk]

2. This is about Dylann Storm Roof, the Charlston church shooter, I presume?

You kinda left that bit out...

[Ichingcarpenter]

3. yes that shooter Dylann Storm Roof

not the other hundred we have in the states

updated to put his name in the op.

[Warpy]

5. He looked like he was trying to be the White Power Bieber

in the photographs I've seen, trying to look brooding and artistic and terribly misunderstood under that mop of hair.

You bet they've got his computer unless he managed to bury it out in the woods before he slaughtered people.

[Kalidurga]

6. There are other ways to find out what someone has been up to even without that persons hard drive

it's presumably harder, but you go to the service provider, their credit cards, sites they are known to frequent (check user names, many people use the same one at several sites), etc... that is how they got this kid in Minnesota who sent out viruses.

[malaise]

9. I thought they said they found nothing on his computer

Which I found very strange

[H2O Man]

15. Right!

Wearing a gym shirt in one, showing off those string-bean arms!

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Great job

but I was told here by a poster that he could not have a computer.

I will have to do some of this myself. As to the computer, you betcha it is now part of evidence.

[malaise]

8. That's why I love DU

Great work Ichingcarpenter

[madokie]

10. DU Rawks

We have some of the coolest members

[malaise]

13. +1,000

DU posted about the terrorist thug's website before M$Greedia

[madokie]

17. DU has always been at the forefront

of all developments. I'm humbled by the quality of its members, by the vision of the gentlemen who put it together. In the beginning I'm sure they had not idea it would turn into the power house it has. Then again maybe they did evidenced by the fact it has. Visionaries no doubt.

[cwydro]

11. Any way to see some of these pics?

I guess the media will have them out soon enough.

[H2O Man]

14. I think that both

CNN and MSNBC (earlier, when they had news on) showed several. Burning a flag, standing on a flag, and waving a confederate flag ....ugly images.

[cwydro]

16. He's an ugly little monster.

Scary that there may be more like him. Are they gloating on these websites, I wonder?

I'm afraid to even look at those sites.

[H2O Man]

18. I had gotten

the link from Will on FaceBook. It is horrible. And not that much is upsetting to me any more. But those pictures, and his vicious attempt to sound intelligent, made me vomit. Literally.

[suffragette]

23. I'd guess that they're busy searching for and scrubbing any connection to him.

And I would bet on there being some connections.

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. His zipp file downloaded automatically with no warning

it contained all the photos and other stuff. His site I guess is offline now after I found the link to it.

The site had two choices to click... photos and thoughts and only had his Rhodesian flag on it with its title.

[H2O Man]

12. Way recommended!

Thank you for this. Very important.

33. As I posted on "I-Ching's other Post:

. Agree...there's more to this puzzle. But definitely doesn't excuse what he did in any way in this
heinous crime.

But, we need to know more about what was going on there that a kid who seems to have not finished high school...just hanging around would pull all the history together about that Church its Congregation and Slavery to go to Historic Sites to figure out how exactly he was going to execute this dreadful crime right on the anniversary of the Slave Uprising and Massacre. Seems awfully well thought out unless he was a latent genius ..with a great interest in Historic Charleston and Slavery that he could visit everyone of those Historic Sites (of which there are many at locations a distance apart) taking selfies (at a distance) as he devised his plot to strike at such a time for maximum exposure. Hillary Clinton had just left after giving a talk at the Tech College and Jeb was coming in next day. Bernie was scheduled for this Sunday Night. Who Took his Selfies or were they Selfies? Was someone else taking pictures in front of every known Historical Site having to do with Slavery (of which there are many) in that History City. There's still much we don't know about him.

That guy was some real good planner for a drug addicted, possibly abused, 21 year old who had dropped out of high school off and on.

We don't know enough yet about any influence on him. But, what he did is so dreadful its hard to think about anything else.

I know Charleston very well...and the Historic sites...that's why I'm puzzled about the "Selfies" at distance and his meticulous traveling to each of them including the Civil War graveyards. He was not from Charleston.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Here, BBC story on this

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-33211192

[Ichingcarpenter]

21. I don't think the photos are all selfies or taken on a timer

the site was not found by the news media or law enforcement but by these two folks

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/06/20/how-twitter-sleuths-found-dylann-roof-s-manifesto.html

I just happen to follow some stuff and people on the net that caught this story before the news. I still think there is stuff on his computer that can reveal his chats in forums.

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. Independent media strikes again

[KoKo]

31. The Daily Beast Article is very interesting....

as to accuracy or other questions of where the files came from. I'm not tech enough to know...but others here are...and to dig to ask other questions.

:kick:

[MohRokTah]

24. In two pictures he wrote "1488" in the sand.

You've already described what 88 means.

14 refers to the "14 words", which is pure white supremacist drivel:

[malaise]

25. Check this

A racist website showing photos of Roof that contains a long white supremacist screed was discovered Saturday registered under the name Dylann Roof, using Roof's mother's home address. NBC News could not confirm the site's authenticity or whether Roof was its creator.

[BumRushDaShow]

27. The article at the link says they tossed that racist ass judge

the one who started rambling on at the bond hearing. Apparently he has a history.

[malaise]

28. Babylonsister started a thread with the link

It is great news. That inappropriate comment didn't help.

I just added the quote from her link that was related to the terrorist's website.

[BumRushDaShow]

29. Thanks for the heads-up on the OP

Just posted in there.

[malaise]

30. You're welcome

[mucifer]

26. Interesting that nazis are using numerology. That's a big thing in the Jewish tradition

For example, the word Chai which means life in Hebrew is a two letter word that the numbers add up to 18. So 18 and multiples of 18 are considered to be lucky.

[nadinbrzezinski]

32. Gawker has the full manifesto

http://gawker.com/here-is-what-appears-to-be-dylann-roofs-racist-manifest-1712767241

For the record, none has been able to confirm Roof is the author, but if he is, there are plenty of echoes in there from oh... RW reporting (yes FOX), as well as oh classic crap at racist websites.

Apparently this young man self radicalized, which is a theory I posited yesterday. Not that I expect that poster here to even say I am sorry.

Damn. Been doing this too long I think, thinking on how people get this way.

[malaise]

34. How many other RW racist terrorists have similar websites

How many are scrubbing them now???

Wouldn't that be nice to know.
