  1. Ironically, in prison he will finally be in the kind of environment of violence-enforced racial “awareness” that he so desired.

  2. That picture always bugs me out…looks like something out of Hollywood.

  3. Does South Carolina have the death penalty? Will a white jury send a white killer to death?

  4. He may be a racist and a mass murderer, but he is not a criminal. Instead he is a mad man that needs to be locked up in the loony bin. No sane person could spend time with people, get to know them, and then kill them in cold blood. Only crazy people do that.
