Jay'La Sims - Well, I killed them, I guess’: Jury watches Dylann Roof’s confession to church massacre

SUMMARY: When confessing to his massacre of 9 people Dylan Roof was calm , even laughing at times. He could explain himself when asked why he chose to gun down the people in the church. He knew there would be a group of black people inside. Roof demonstrated how he pulled out his Glock .45-caliber pistol and fired — 77 total shots. He talked about sitting inside with the churchgoers for about 15 to 20 minutes as he briefly questioned what he was about to do. Roof was quick to explain his reason for his actions.“I had to do it because somebody had to do something,” he said. “Black people are killing white people every day on the street, and they are raping white women. What I did is so minuscule to what they’re doing to white people every day all the time.” He also said the Trayvon Martin case prompted him to do this. During the trial, Roof did not look at the dozens of victims’ family members in the room.


ANALYSIS: Watchinf Roofs confessions and reading his reasonings for the killings make me sick. It's sad to think that 9 innocent people lost there lives to a racist coward , or thatt a black person looses there lives to a racist coward almost everyday. People like Roof are blinded by their own ignorance and don't look at the statistics of crime. He thought Zuckerberg was in the right of shooting Trayvon Martin and has nothing to do with his race ,  and the same for all other murders of whites on blacks. Yet he gets to come out of the church safe with a bullet proof gun but a man like Mike Brown is shot because he's accused of stealing. So for him to say there's no racism in those situations is a lie. Cowards like him are have the audacity to say and do these things but not even look at the families he's broken in the eye. This trial makes me really upset and saddens me to see that people can just kill whenever they want because of their blinded views. This can connect to the 16th street baptist church bombing.

  1. Racism needs to go, it has no place in America. We need to rip it from our terrible roots.

  2. This breaks my heart to see people lose their life from such a senseless act and disturbs me to think that people actually think like he does. He must have been raised around this type of hatred his whole life.
