It's early and very few facts are in
In the past I've always waited until we had a clearer picture of the situation before commenting
But today, it is naive to hope the vacuum of restraint will not be exploited by multiple political agendas
So let me weigh in
We know- or at least I'm basing my comments on the assumption that we know this:
A young white man sat in a worship service with his victims for an hour
At some point he made racially charged statements and proceeded to kill 9 worshipers
The worshipers were African American, and the location was historically significant in African American religious and social history
He left one alive, so she could report what had happened
Assuming these are facts, let me say this
This young man is a domestic terrorist
This young man is a thug and a cold blooded murderer
This young man should be held to answer for his crimes
These crimes are so heinous, that if they took place on a field of battle, they would be actionable
These crimes are so heinous, that were they committed by a world leader, international law would require prosecution
That race is a component is reprehensible
That worship is a component is horrendous
How a man of 21 has had his mind poisoned to this degree should be investigated
Who has primed his thoughts with evil?
Who has twisted his psyche with aberrance?
We know this
Racism is taught as well as it is learned
Evil is planted before it takes root
Murder is dreamt before it is committed
And sanctuary is inviolate in a house of worship
May God have mercy on this young man's soul
Because society must demand justice and recompense
from his life The victims' families should not have to burden themselves with pleas for justice
Let them mourn
Let them grieve
Let them find solace in the midst of evil actions
But the rest of us
As society
Let us demand a heavy price for tearing at the fabric of society
for opening old wounds
for instilling anger and division
for choosing a path of infamy
Let us demand the price
Because our brothers and sisters who were horribly, violently, suddenly and without cause victimized
Well, their blood cries out for justice
And we either heed the call, without reservation or we add the blood of nine more innocents to the stain on the soul of our nation
Drugs. Meth and all sorts of other.
His middle name Storm is odd.
Perhaps his parents are white supremacist types.
we dare not let any complexioned person at this ......... summer is just beginning and I fear for our nation
a racist muslim sits in the white mosque ..... never forget that.
I think it really odd, this kid has so many black friends on his FB page, yet has gone on to do this.
The man was obviously mentally unbalanced, under the influence of drugs, or just plain evil. No sane, rational person would undertake this sort of evil. Trying to understand it from a point of reason is a futile task.
“To the stain on the soul of our nation”?
Good grief.
All we know for sure is that some people were killed.
It appears that one person did it.
He is caught. He was not caught and released. He was not allowed to escape.
Our nation’s soul is not stained.
His soul? Different story.

First and foremost; evil.
Alrighty then.
Nice writing and just right.
I could get behind an EXTREMELY speedy trial. Say 30 day from today.
Nine dead, or as they say in Chicago, a slow weekend.
“Worshipers,” “African-American.” All these reports and articles, and I have yet read an article that says “9 CHRISTIANS gunned down in Church). That they were “worshipping” the Christ is not an insignificant fact.
I am in solidarity with my Christian brothers and sisters this tragic day. We will meet again, however, where there is no crime or hate, only the love of God.

Too bad Bambi didn’t read your post before he opened his pie hole.
Dear mr. Wallace,
Without adding one supposition, or guess, I can agree with your article, to the letter and spirit of the law.
A thug murdered innocent people in a Christian Church....
White people don’t riot when a thug (who happens to have white skin) is captured and arrested. They can even put the little creep to death and white people are NOT going to identify with him.
I assume your comments were sarcasm.
I'm afraid sharpton is gonn'a get a lot of traction from this and we're not going to stop a complicit news media
