Divide America with race war. Charles Manson sought Helter Skelter. So did Dylann Roof.
Roof wanted to start a race war, Roof told investigators. He was big into segregation, and as he was killing people during a prayer meeting, he said to the pleas that he stop, "No, you've raped our women, and you are taking over the country ... I have to do what I have to do."
From his Facebook, an image was found of Roof wearing a jacket with flags from apartheid-era South Africa and nearby Rhodesia, a former British colony that was ruled by a white minority until it became independent in 1980.
The media is searching for the reasons the 21-year-old South Carolinian adopted his racist mentality. They are assuming his southern location has something to do with it. Perhaps they are secretly hoping he's a Tea Party guy, or that he comes from a "right wing" upbringing. Personally, none of that matters. In the end, an individual made the decision to pull the trigger and kill people. He made the decision, and he is at fault.

President Barack Obama has already tried to use this opportunity for his sick gun control agenda. The liberal left is convinced we must, as a collective society, do something about this. They believe we must punish law abiding citizens for what an individual has done.
Roof's roommate has said that the killer "wanted something big like Trayvon Martin."
So, Roof walked into a church, during a prayer meeting, to kill nine innocent people -- including the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, a state senator who had welcomed Roof into the Bible study session.
Roof had used birthday money to purchase a firearm some time before the shooting, though there has been no reports that the gun he bought was the gun he used. I will guess it likely is. Unfortunately, at the time of purchasing his weapon, it was unknown that a killer resided inside his head.

Federal authorities have opened a hate crime investigation into the shooting, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
