“told investigators he wanted to start a race war.”
He’s obviously lying, since Slick Rick Santorum and Lindsay Graham have assured us that he wanted to kill Christians and destroy religious liberty. This kid must be a liberal race hustler who doesn’t even know why he killed nine people.

Actually, its FOX News that wanted to start the race war. Dylann is just a soldier for their cause.
And FOX will use plausible deniability.

At this point even the FOX website has this as a huge story being a hate crime, racist, etc. But the FOX TV talk show hosts and numerous Republican politicians still are trying to sell it as War on Christians.
And in the new twist, many Republicans will say this case is proof we need the Death Penalty…but of course no new gun laws.

So he planned to kill blacks because of cartoonish stereotypes he had, but when he gets there he hesitates because everyone is so nice to him, but he opens fire anyway. People like him are immune to the humanity of others and God Damn those who demonize whole groups of Americans for partisan purposes.

He almost didn’t go through with it because everyone was so nice to him.
Somebody please remind me of all the decent, kind, clear-thinking people there are in the world. Or post a video of kittens playing. Something. Because I have to get on with my day and right now I can’t.

spear tip of white supremacist movement.
That and more guns so we can protect ourselves, and lets abolish “gun free zones” like schools, churches and such because that’s where these things are happening.

This guy sure is making it difficult for the Cons over at Fox to paint this as a war on religion. Somehow their actions makes the nature of this crime even worse. They’re negating the hatred and venom in this guy’s heart and in theirs.

So admits it was about race? Imagine that. But that won’t stop folks like Sanatorium and Graham from continuing to make this about killing Christians. The Christian thing was implausible prior to this confession and now after it it’s ridiculous. But it won’t stop the pandering and no one is going to call them down.
9 innocent people died and the best Graham can do is manipulate their deaths for political gain.

It’s difficult for me to get over the fact that his parents, on seeing HIS FACE everyday for 21 years, decided to give him a .45 as a present.
The only race war he started was Fox’s race to deny his motivations and the NRA’s race to justify his ownership of a device that kills more people daily than Ebola in the US did for months.
I’m sure the RWNJ’s will tell you the boy meant to say “I wanted to start a war on christianity”…

So if this guy really purchased a gun on his own at a gun shop, he also violated federal laws by lying on federal gun purchase form 4473 which contains several questions a purchaser needs to respond to truthfully, and which is used to administer instant background checks through the FBI NICS program. Wondering where the failure to deny the purchase of a handgun to this individual occurred.
Actually if you check the FOX website, they are all over the racist and hate crime angle. It’s only the FOX talk show hosts who are being ridiculous. And I am sure the Alex Jones site is saying this was “staged by the gubbermint.”

Just when you thought this couldn’t be any more heartbreaking, you hear that he almost didn’t do it because of how nice thy were to him.
He’s making it harder and harder for the (very few) apologists to try and spin this any other way than what it actually was.

Definitely up for a bit of the old Ultra Violence.
Oh - I have no doubt they will find a way to spin this to paint themselves as the true victims. They will say that the left is using this single event, committed by a mentally ill person, to punish responsible gun owners and defame whites and christians. They will never acknowledge that their incessant stream of race-baiting propaganda had any role in egging this guy on. Its just too profitable for them to stop.

It’s an NRA mandate.
You know Mr. Comments I’ve never heard Alex Jones say he wanted to shoot a BLACK person, this guy definitely did. The rightwing’s feeble attempts to make this guy something other than what he is, is really sad.
I’ve heard the Tea Party (Cons) whine about taking THEIR country back ever since Obama was elected, this guy says the same. Let it go, okay?
