OK Justice Roberts, hows your “post-racial society” now?

About. Damn. Time. Although I’m not opposed to the death penalty, he really is mentally ill and should spend the rest of his life in prison instead of being executed. I just feel so damn sorry for his ex-wife and, most importantly, his biracial son. That poor, poor child.

Here in CA if you end up on death row you will die on death row, haven’t had an execution in a very long time.

“A federal grand jury in Kentucky has charged a white man with three hate crimes in the shooting deaths of two African-Americans last month at a grocery.”

So much “economic anxiety”…

They just need to look harder to find a picture of him in his MEGA hat.

Interesting to see he was not boycotting Nike over Kapernick though…

WTF?!?!?! I had to google it! Why was she with this racist jerk and wtf was wrong with him? His mental illness made him racist???

BTW, since he was so willing to declare “I Stand”, he should make sure he’s standing tall when facing the judge each and every time he’s in court.

I thought he was newly installed/soon to be booted and indicted himself AG

No doubt. Of course he was driven by the belief that 69- and 67-year-old African Americans were taking his job.

I know, blows your mind, doesn’t it? He was married to a black woman who is actually close friends with and grew up with one of my good friends. Apparently, one year at Thunder Over Louisville (our big fireworks Derby kickoff event), he and his wife were horribly harassed by black men who didn’t approve of their interracial relationship. The events of that day sunk in and sort of festered and it just happened to be right about the onset of his schizophrenia. His marriage broke up when his wife could no longer deal with his mental health issues, but he continued to have a very close relationship with his son. Enter Fox News. He became increasingly radicalized by right wing media and it began to manifest itself in racial hate. They played into all of his fears and rage until he finally took action. We are just so very lucky his timing was bad and that he couldn’t figure out how to get in the church, or a whole lot of people would be dead.

You remember the ballot initiative a few years ago which asked did we want to end capital punishment or speed up executions. You know which won.

Very disturbing!

But I wonder why the theater just kicked them out rather than reporting them to authorities?

His father sought a protective order against him because he had lifted his mother of the ground by her neck and hit his father in the jaw, according to court records. He also threatened to shoot his parents, whom he lived with at the time.

Here’s a pic of his mother and father:

What an asshole.

And this really made my blood run cold:

Just sad. I don’t care if this guy was mental, I have no empathy for him. NONE.

So he was a diagnosed schizophrenic with a prior murder indictment and multiple assault counts plus known extreme racist views BUT he still possessed guns.

Because of course he did.

Would love to know if his guns were legally purchased and whether or not the authorities knew he had them.

Freedom of speech. Many in the audience thought shooting was going to erupt.
