Scott Roof, who identified himself as Dylann Roof’s cousin, told me over the telephone that “Dylann was normal until he started listening to that white power music stuff.” He also claimed that “he kind of went over the edge when a girl he liked starting dating a black guy two years back.”

So in other words there were plenty of warning signs.
We just need to learn to recognize them.
Dalton Tyler, Roof’s roommate, told ABC News that Roof spoke of starting a civil war and that he advocated racial separatism. “He was big into segregation and other stuff. He said he wanted to start a civil war. He said he was going to do something like that and then kill himself,” Tyler said.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is some truth in this. Nothing like a stress to push someone over the edge.

So what you're saying is that it was a woman who seems to have finally brought down the Confederacy? What wrath hath a racist scorned.

I know my post won't be popular and I'll probably be flamed, banned, trashed and forced to work on Elizabeth Warrens presidential campaign as punishment, but. . . . . .
It's not a gun problem.
It's not a race problem.
It's not a confederate flag problem.
It's a mental health problem that (God strike me down) started under president Reagan when so many mental health facilities closed.
It's like closing hospitals will cure cancer because there is no place to treat cancer.
I'm a proponent of the free market.
I despise government oversight in everything. Government is weak and incompetent.
But in this case. . . . I will state for the record, that government has to step in and create facilities that can treat mental illnesses that run rampant throughout the country.
Flame away.
I will stand like a man and take my beatings . . . . .
