Showing Original Post only (View all)Anybody else find it odd that Roof was arrested without incident? [View all]
This is a known mass murder, a terrorist, armed and dangerous.
He's arrested without a mark on him.
Ditto for Timothy McVeigh, Mark Chapman, John Hinckley Jr., the Unabomber, BTK, and Ted Bundy.
Meanwhile we've seen what happens to unarmed blacks: Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, Walter Scott, Freddy Gray, Eric Garner, John Crawford, Icarus Randolph, Ezell Ford, Dante Parker . . .

McVeigh is a dumb example. He was initially arrested for having a gun under the seat.

Betcha FOX "News" would say it's because those guys followed the cop's orders.

Given his racist attitude, I wonder if any of the arresting officers were non-white?

I think confusing "upset" with "curious" is a sub-literate mistake people sometimes make.

I bet you think you're smart with the way you try to insult people without getting hides.

Of course not. Just pointing out how different races are treated differently. nt

Many mass killers kill themselves or opt for 'suicide by cop'. This one didn't.
