A 21-year-old twisted soul named Dylann Roof last night, June 17, reportedly murdered nine persons during a prayer service at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C.
Roof is white and the people he killed were black.
“We believe this is a hate crime; that is how we are investigating it,” said Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen, in what might have been the dumbest quote ever made by a law enforcement official.
Mullen’s politically correct statement demeans evil. It wasn’t name calling that Roof is alleged to have done but cold blooded mass murder of kind people.
In Mullen’s defense, he probably had other things on his mind when he said it but what happened last night is no different that what ISIS does routinely in the Mideast. You want to call what they do “hate crime”? The phrasing of Pope Francis is far better. What happened at the Emanuel AME Church was not a “hate crime” but Satanic barbarism.
Racism appears to be Roof’s motive but don’t consider the victims black or Roof white. The victims are persons as is Roof. Roof is one who has (allegedly) chosen evil.
Skin color is meaningless. The only people to whom it matters are those who want to manipulate others for their own gain.
Forgive the fudging i.e “allegedly” regarding Roof but we remember initially misidentifying the shooter from Sandy Hook.
Evil Demeaned By Political Correctness
