What is sad is that Roof told friends he was going to do this and they did nothing to stop him.
I get a sense that here in America we are returning to a time of great anger and less compassion. Thank's to modern mass communication one act of violence can create paranoia on a national scale. In the past 60 years many horrible inhuman acts have occurred. What is odd is that many people see the victims as the enemy. Looking at shootings over the past few years that have made headlines the victim is frequently viewed as worthy of his fate.
