Mass shooting in South Carolina

[Zundfolge]

The roommate should be arrested as an accomplice. He had knowledge of said issues yet failed to act, just as the psychiatrist who treated Holmes. They both knew "something" was wrong, yet decided to sit on the sidelines.

I'd argue that the roommate is worse than the shrink because the roommate has said he was planning this for 6 months so it sounds like he knew in detail what he was going to do whereas Holmes' shrink only knew his client was a nutter that was "likely" to do "something".

I'd also argue that the church shooter's father should go down too ... its pretty obvious he gave a gun to a "prohibited person" knowing his son was unable to legally posses a firearm.

What does "planning something" actually mean? How many teenage and early twentysomething males talk sh*t about all kinds of plans, none of which ever come to fruition? The shooter only had the gun for two months, right, so any plans before that were definitely smoke blowing. The roommate is definitely going to feel guilty forever, though.

Yes indeed, under three felony indictments and a known drug user. I really don't get the father. If my 21 year old son was under three felony indictments and using hard drugs, he's not getting anything but drug addiction treatment or the boot, depending upon his attitude.

"the weapon -- came in April, when Roof bought a .45-caliber handgun at a Charleston gun store, the two law enforcement officials told Perez and Bruer from CNN, the first network to report this development. His grandfather says that Roof was given "birthday money" and that the family didn't know what Roof did with it."

So NICS doesn't catch indictments, just convictions?

Justin Meek, a friend of Charleston shooter Dylann Storm Roof, spoke with Greta Van Susteren tonight. He told Greta that Dyllan took the gun from his mother that he used in the mass murder. He said Dyllan’s mom didn’t trust him with it so she took it away.

Justin said he saw Dylann on Tuesday.

“He said that he took it from his mom. And he told me his mom didn’t know he had the gun… Yeah, it was his gun but his mom took it from Dylann.

Dylann’s father reportedly gave the gun to his son for a birthday present.

*** Dylann did have failed a background check for a gun purchase!
But his father bought him the gun anyway!
So should his father be arrested?

You mentioned what the Blacks and Dems will do, what will the Conservatives and Whites do to help the situation ?

There may have been a time when a discussion about racial issues was possible, but that window of opportunity quickly passed when the professional left decided to double down on division with a professional community organizer.

The professionally black have a vested ideological and financial interest in the retention of grievance. No amount of discussion will overcome or quench the institutional need to be perpetually aggrieved.

So any twenty year old saying "I'm planning something big" or otherwise talking shit with his pals and roommates should be considered a threat and treated as one?
