"Killing nine people makes you bad."

#1 Post by SportsFan68 » Thu Jun 18, 2015 9:09 am

Back in the days when my nephew went down a few bad roads and made a few questionable choices, my brother used to say stuff like, "Stealing a little money out of your mother's purse for booze doesn't make you a bad person. Killing nine people makes you bad."

Is Dylann Storm Roof a bad person? I say Yes, admittedly without any other knowledge about this guy.

I'd wager he was a bad person before killing those folks. Evil, pure and simple.

He had a police record and was antisocial. So of course his family gave him a .45 for his 21st birthday.

Evil does exist.

His roommate says Roof planned the shooting for over six months. And he did nothing?!

I read the headline from CNN that said this guy wanted to "start a race war".
Sounds a lot like Hitler to me. Pure evil.

And, in a "you can't make this up" story:

They've put him in a cell next to the former North Charleston policeman, Michael Slager, who killed a black man that was fleeing him.
