Possible Death Sentence for Dylann Roof- Cameron Eisenberg

Article- Dylann Roof, a (white)man  stands trial for shooting nine (black)church goers, might get the death sentence. Prosecutors accuse the crime of being a ``racially motivated massacre'', and have the evidence to support it, as his computer was full of racial slurs. The church, Emanual AME, is a historical church in Charleston that held a slave rebellion, and later, a civil rights group. The families of the victims support the prosecutors decision.
Analysis- The hate crime is just like the hate crimes that went on during the civil rights movement, when black people were randomly and violently attacked for no real reason.

  1. Honestly he is getting what he deserves. He killed innocent people at a church, where they might have been thinking they were the safest.

  2. I agree, this man is most definitely experiencing some karma. I just hope they get a little more evidence to back it up other then a few racial slurs on his computer.
