Having said that...this wasn't even a blip on the radar screen a couple of weeks ago.

But I guess people feel better about themselves now.
Yes, this insane white supremist piece of shit killed those black people in that church.

What can we do? I know! Let's take the confederate flag off the capital grounds 120 miles away!
Now we can all feel good about ourselves and that fixes what happened at that church in Charleston! Yay for us!

Having lived in South Carolina from 1993 to 2007...I only hope that this doesn't get some of the other crazy fucks there to do something bad in reprisal.

The flag should have been a separate issue from that mass murder. But now they have tied them together. My fear is that it's going to happen again because now any of the racist crazies that may be around that area are pissed off.
