There's pictures circulating of him wearing a jacket with patches of the flags of Apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia on it, jeez

Time to retire that horrifically racist flag flying over the South Carolina State House.

RIP to the victims of racist aggression.

Yes. Yes it is.

Nothing will be done about this.

There will be another shooting. Nothing will be done about that.

Then the police will be heavy handed again. Nothing will be done about that.

You'll get calls of 'tragedy' and calls to 'prayer' and people asking 'why?' Because he's white he'll be a 'loner', an 'introvert' or 'mentally ill'. Once the funerals and memorials are done, you'll all move on.

This incident in many ways combines two incidents that keep playing out in a repeated cycle; aggressive racism and multiple shooting events. But it won't change a thing.
