So the racist terrorist will be tried on hate crime charges

1. I think there would have been justice without the federal government.

It was a dreadful crime.

2. It was a dreadful hate crime n/t

3. I am glad this is going to be the way that it is tried. This is not just a mass murder case. It is

about hate in the form of racism. We need to as a nation call out the haters. I think SC would have found him guilty of all counts for nine murders but this will address national problems of hate and racism.

4. I wonder if the SC state prosecutors will defer to the federal case...

"Dylann Roof, 21, already faces nine counts of murder in state court, where he could be sentenced to death, and a conviction there would make federal action largely symbolic. It was not clear whether state prosecutors, who did not return calls seeking comment, would defer to a federal case."

Their response, when it happens, will be interesting.

5. As opposed to those mass murders committed for love?
