Gray Breidenbach:
On June 17, 2015 Dylan Roof opened fire on an innocent church during bible study. Roof killed 9 african american citizens, and is facing hate crimes. Roof faces 33 hate crimes charges , and the prosecutors are refusing his initial guilty plea. after two day of careful delegation the judge ruled Roof competent to stand trial and voice his case. Roof wanted to voice his case without any sort of attorney help, the judge strongly advised Roof against doing so.
Dylan Roof was a mentally insane person, who took it upon himself to cause harm and chaos in the lives of innocent people. although some people think the death penalty is the absolute most necessary punishment for this person, their are some people saying that he shouldn't. I personally think that the death penalty is justified in this manner, because a person who takes a life, should pay for it with their life. This hate crime is very much like the church catastrophies that occurred in the 60's. Those chaotic circumstances were meant to cause harm and strike fear in the lives of the people.
