I don't know you, but when I searched for your name from the news outlets it led me here. You're not captured yet, so there is a chance that you may see this message. I don't look at you with the eyes of hatred, or judge you by your appearance or race, but I look at you as a human being that made a horrible decision to take the lives of 9 living & breathing people. Children do not grow up with hatred in their hearts. In this world we are born color blind. Somewhere along the line, you were taught to hate people that are not like you, and that is truly tragic. You have accomplished nothing from this killing, but planting seeds of pain that will forever remain in the hearts of the families that lost their lives and countless hearts around our country. If you're still out there and you have your phone with you... Give your heart to Jesus and confess your sins with a heart of forgiveness. He is the only one that can save your soul and forgive you for the terrible act that you have done. I love you Dylann... even in the midst of the darkness and pain you've caused, but more importantly HE loves you....Somebody did teach him to hate. They taught him to hate and they put a gun in his hand. It was Fox News, which ought to be a hate group, and the Republican Party and the NRA who put the gun in his hand, all of the racists and corporate greed.
Please look at an old DKos post on stochastic terrorism. I can't link right now. I don't want the right wing to get away with saying that Dylann Roof was a crazy person, a lone wolf. We must hold them accountable.
So many people are suffering, among them me, and my pain is NOTHING compared to what these families and the congregation must be going through. I don't want to minimize that, but simply point out that the ripples spread far. It was a church that was very important even outside the Charleston community and people who were valued statewide. There are thousands of people grieving here and I'm sure across the nation. He killed nine people but he injured hundreds of thousands if not millions of us. And he didn't act alone.
I'm not a Christian but I agree with much of what Marcus Stanley wrote above. If you are a person of faith, I ask you to pray for the people of South Carolina and all the red states. But more importantly, ACT. We need your help. Thanks for reading.
