Oh here we go again. If he was black he would have been treated differently.
Utter bollox.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If he was black in America then the police would have killed him already wouldn't they?
If he was black and had been shifty in the streets he would probably get shot by the police as well.

I just read a report where the state governor is calling for the death penalty.
Thats hardly making excuses for him is it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are articles circulating on twitter about how he was on anti depressants etc. There is a YouTube video that is trending about how apparently black people commit the most hate crimes and cause the most crime.
Does it matter why he targetted them? End of the day they were innocent people. Regardless of race. He is clearly a lunatic, people of sound mind dont shoot 9 people.
---
It kind of does matter, because he specifically targetted a black church. I do get your point though, at the end of the day those people are dead at the hands of a psycho. It is just another high profile story of a white guy killing black people and shows how deeply rooted the racism in the US is.

There has certainly been a distasteful reaction from some people though. You can already see political lobbyists using it to make points
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If it's wrong to "politicize" racial violence, media bias or terrorism on a day when it's occurring, could we schedule a day when we don't have any and can talk?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You do allow at least a short grieving period usually, also waiting for all the facts to come out is imperative
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The media haven't allowed a short grieving period to begin making excuses for him. How often do they look at the mental history of the assailant? Usually only when there is a white person committing the crime. The wider media don't give a shít about mental illness. Only when it suits their agenda.

100% this, he did not put up any resistance but look at how many black people have been killed by police in america in 2015 alone, 1 a day nearly, that speaks volumes.
Many media outlets don't want to speak about this as a racially motivated domestic terrorist attack but that is exactly what it is.
If this guy was black or Muslim and killed 9 white people in an upper class church in say Manhattan this story would be totally different. As it stands he's a troubled white kid and they won't even discuss gun laws.

Argh, yes, lets turn a tragedy into a race issue, because thats absolutley necesary isnt it.

Normally I would agree with this BUT in this instance it IS an race issue and should be reported as such. He killed those people for one reason and one alone. Their race.

errm it IS being labled as a racial attack....

So because you have read about 5 incidents in the thousands upon thousands of incidents the police in America deal with all of a sudden all cops are the same and would shoot any black man
Idiot
Many media outlets don't want to speak about this as a racially motivated domestic terrorist attack but that is exactly what it is.
---------------------------------------------
I have yet to come across a media outlet that is NOT reporting this as racially motiviated
Also, in this instance it has to be considered premeditated - he was sat there with a concealed weapon for 'around an hour'. That's more than enough time to consider the course of action & it means that the 'outburst' excuse shouldn't wash. He had the weapon there for a reason. I don't normally advocate the death penalty - I'd rather they rotted in prison for the rest of their lives, but in this case I'd make an exception.

Fox News are the worst for this, like they will have a panel of people on to speak about racial issues in America and it will be all white people, Fox is also the most watched TV news network in the US, just look at how they reported on Birmingham been a 100% Muslim city!
Wasn't really watching the news yesterday but when the killer was at large how was the British media reporting this? I seem to recall full hour bulletins just on the Charlie Hebdo shootings what was it like for this racist killings?
That's just the world though, full of hate and anger and everyone is considered racist , english media constantly and correct slam People like BNP and EDL as racist because they are, but they wouldn't dare utter a word about the Muslim Freedom Party who equally are racist and hate white/western people and want to take over the country and put it under Sharia Law. It seems like racists can only be White people when that's not the case.

It is deep rooted, not because of this single incident but because of all the evidence that shows it is. This is an incident that has sparked the simmering underlying racial tensions in the US that have been bubbling away for a long time.
People on here are already saying he's a psycho, that's the exact problem, he's white so he is mentally disturbed, a black man would not get the same narrative if he killed 9 white people.

That's exactly what I said, isn't it :sarcasm:. You clearly have trouble with reading comprehension if that is what you took from my comment.
"NO it doesnt show that at all. You cant say racism is deep rooted because of one absolute lunatic. Thats ridiclous. "
If this was the first instance of 'an absolute lunatic' I'd agree. Stuff like this (mostly with the police, granted) is happening on a ridiculous scale... We're getting a story every month or 2...
