9 dead in shooting at South Carolina church Senator Clementa Pinckney killed

a reply to: OccamsRazor04

my transprofession is psychiatry. i watch criminal minds so if you need any help i identify as an expert now.

Predictions:


--There will be early reports of a second gunman, before the crime predictably and quickly settles into "lone nut" status

--Shooter will be a military vet or have at least seen a recruiter

--He will have been mentally 'treated' at some point

--He will have been dressed in all black, or in combination with camis

--Survivors will note a 'blank, expressionless' look on his face, like he was on a 'mission'

--The Feds will take over the investigation

--Gun will have been legally acquired

--Renewed calls for more gun control will now shrilly follow

--He will have had prior contact with law enforcement

--High ratio of head and torso shots, indicating professional training

--Motive will be murky or non-existent

Really hope this isn't spun into a racial issue...that is unless they actually find KKK paraphernalia in his house or something...

Raceism is a problem in the US DEAL WITH IT.

Pretending it does not exist helps no one.

lets ask the shooter what race he identifies as before we start blaming

Hope all you like, but it's exactly the way the media will play it. They will splash this all over the news and continuously pound on the racial element. Look for Sharpton to be on the scene very soon, stirring up hate as usual.

As if this story requires much spin? If the perpetrator was described as having a "middle eastern appearance" would you be blabbering about the anti-Islam spin?

What about that is supposed to be humorous? Given a comment like that in a thread about a topic like this, I can only assume that you have some racial hangups of your own.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe you're part of the problem?

Now they have some black guys on TV who are saying all the wrong things. They need to put that pastor back on TV.

The cops are doing a press conference now, cops confirm 9 victims

Jeb Bush has canceled his trip to Charleston for tomorrow.....

Not surprising as the Bush family has a history of cowardness.

Unfortunately, they're likely giving this monster exactly what he wants.

Yes. And I believe the 10th person is the female being worked on here at MUSC.

Police Station, Military Base, Church.....the Senator might just have been a bonus. Tragic to be sure, but i am sensing a pattern here.

I don't. What does an all black church have to do with a military base?

Not even I can get that. I just know she is in surgery.

UPDATE: My friend is reporting she overheard there are 6 bomb threats that are supposed to detonate within the hour. Reporters were harassing her and FBI had to make them leave her alone.

The cops did confirmed there are survivors, so thank God for that

They are investigating as a Hate Crime
