"The writer is basically stating that Roof is just evil personified. I read this as though he is Satan's helper walking around on Earth. I am not going to go into religious beliefs.
Why wasn't this young man committed to a psych hospital when he told friends he was going to shoot up a campus and told others of his extreme hatetred of blacks? Because they didn't tell anyone!
IF any of us knows of such a person-and I hope we don't- please tell the authorities of what they said. Drop a dime on them immediately if you have reason to think they are serious!"
No, I think you missed the point. I discussed mental illness as something that should have been mentioned to authorities but wasn't. I urged others to "drop a dime" if they know anyone with the same attitudes as Roof.
Nothing I said was political. Nothing was said about gun control. I just do not go along with the idea that there is Evil walking on the streets. It is a mental illness that has to be locked away.
The crap about Bruce Jenner and a new normal has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation. Jenner's decision to become a woman harms no one. When transgender begins to actually harm someone, speak up. Until then, don't.
