Suspected race-hate killer, 21, is a meth and cocaine-using pill popper....

"....Law enforcement officers were at the home of Dylann Roof's mother on Thursday morning, the uncle, Carson Cowles, said in an interview.

Cowles said he recognized Roof in a photo released by police, and described him as quiet and soft-spoken. Roof's father gave him a .45-caliber pistol for his birthday this year, Cowles said.

Authorities caught up with Roof in Shelby, North Carolina, over 200 miles from the carnage he allegedly left behind, before noon on Thursday.

'Nobody in my family had seen anything like this coming,' Cowles said. 'I said, if it is him, and when they catch him, he's got to pay for this.'

He said he had told his sister, Roof's mother, several years ago that Roof was too introverted and worried he was cooped up in his room too much.

'I said he was like 19 years old, he still didn't have a job, a driver's license or anything like that and he just stayed in his room a lot of the time,' Cowles said.

A woman who answered the cellphone of the suspect's mother Amelia Roof, also known as Amy, declined to comment.

'We will be doing no interviews ever,' she said, before hanging up.

Roof, who attended White Knoll High School in Lexington, South Carolina, had in recent days befriended at least one black former classmate on the social media site, where his profile photo shows him scowling as he wears the jacket with racist emblems.

Many of Roof's older Facebook friends are black, as well.

A high school classmate of Roof's, John Mullins, told The Daily Beast that the accused white supremacist killer was 'kind of wild' and a big time prescription drug abuser.

'He used drugs heavily a lot,' Mullins said. 'It obviously harder than marijuana. He was like a pill popper, from what I understood. Like Xanax, and stuff like that.'.....

"And the context is that the Sandy Hook mutant was also an unemployed, pill-popping loser who never came out of his room. And he lived with his mom, and his dad rarely saw him except for birthdays, etc"

I hadn't thought about that angle, but yes, he sounds a lot like Lanza.

Vacant, dead eyes, and the stupid bowl haircut to boot.

Too bad he didn't kill himself.

Now we have to hear more endless wailing and gnashing of teeth.

For the record, WHY did "dad" give this creep a gun?

I'm not understanding why he thought that was an appropriate "gift".

If you are not South African or Rhodesian and you fly those flags, you’re a racist.

I'm going to agree.

As much as I hate to use leftist terms, these are "dog whistles."

You can put on a Klan hood and scream "Ni**ers!" from the balconies and be obvious and more than a little uncouth.

Or you can discretely fly your SA and Rhodesian colors from patches on your jacket and let people "in the club" know where you stand.
