Dylann Roof Debate Summary

Did you know that unarmed black men are seven times more likely to die than white men? Racism is as old as human society itself. As long as human beings have been around, people have always seemed to have hated or feared people with a different skin color. Racism is just a part of the human nature. Trayvon Benjamin Martin was just 17 when he was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain, in Sanford, Florida on February 2012. The murder of Trayvon Martin affected many people. The death of Martin was just the first of several deaths where a white person killed a black innocent person. Since the deaths weren’t stopping the #BlackLivesMatter movement began.

Why did Columbine happen? What was Dylan and Eric’s purpose? Really, no one will ever know. Dylan Klebold was a very depressed kid. He wrote things in his journal that are very horrible to read. He talked about suicide a lot. He talked about drinking a lot. In the book, the author quotes, “He (Eric) and Dylan talked a friend’s mom into buying lots of liquor. She took requests. Eric ordered tequila and Baileys Irish Cream. Dylan asked for vodka, of course.” All this drinking caused Dylan to be depressive, and when he was depressed, he drank.

A great example is the Brock Turner case. The case claims Brock, a white college student raped a girl. He was taken to court and accused guilty, but he only stayed in prison for three months. It's Brock an adult? Didn't he rape a girl? Is this a case that can be let go very easily? All these questions need to be answered. The judge, officer, and lawyer were all white. During a interview with Brock’s dad, Brock's dad advises, “He's just a kid.”

Whether allowing Attorney General Eric Holder to dropped charges against the New Black Panther Party for intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place in 2009, to inflammatory comments made during the Trayvon Martin case and the Michael Brown shooting, Obama is always sure to let his true ideology shine through.

"We are dealing with the largest mass shooting in our state's history," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (Tegna) On a peaceful November morning during a “Sunday service at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.” (Grinberg) A young man across the street from the church “was dressed in black "tactical-type gear" and wearing a ballistic vest he crossed the street in his car, got out and began firing he entered the church and continued shooting.”(Grinberg) During this time “a man who lives next door to the church grabbed his own rifle and engaged the suspect, The gunman dropped his "Ruger AR assault-type rifle" and fled. The neighbor chased after the gunman, police said. The chase ended when the shooter crashed his car about eight miles from

We're still waiting for the Department of Justice's report to provide us the context of what happened

Beginning in October of 2002, the Nation is gripped in fear as people are randomly shot by a sniper or snipers in Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C. The shootings occurred in mall parking lots, near schools and gas stations, no one felt safe. People were staying indoors, walking in zig-zag patterns outdoors and filling their gas tanks from inside their vehicles. Two men, who are later identified as John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvo , drove around in a 1990 Chevrolet Caprice, with a New Jersey license plate shooting people out of the trunk of their car. The car had a hole cut above the rear license plate and the back support cushion and metal support of the rear seat removed to allow the car to be used as a “rolling sniper’s nest” . It gave the shooters access to the trunk without getting out of the car. In total ten people were killed and three wounded in a span of three weeks. What effect did press releases and press conferences have on the capturing of the suspects?

Dylan Roof's actions in South Carolina should be regarded as an act of terrorism. The acts themselves were not only planned to install fear into the public but, to create a greater divide between races. In the months leading up to the attacks Dylan increasingly withdrew from society and started to adopt more and more radical behavior. A blog he ran stated that one of the purposes of the attack was to start a race war. In addition, Charleston was picked for the target city because it had one of the highest ratios of African Americans to Whites. The attack alone may not be a form of domestic terrorism however, the motives behind the attack certainly push it into that category.

The correctional officer chose to become whistle Blowers after the death of inmate Preston Tate, and after the other officer said that he was the attacker in this situation. However, the correctional officers main allegations was of “brutality that the correctional officer were exploiting racial tensions to stage fights between inmates for entertainment of the prison guards (Holding, 2009)”. The prison tape shows all of this illegal behavior going on, and the two whistle blower watch other officer cohorts their coworkers in how to alter their reports to make it justifiable for the shooting that took place in the recreation yards.

Zimmerman. Martin. Who really started it? One person died, while another walked free. Who should have been punished? We may never know all the answers to this culture-defining case, but here are the facts as they currently stand:

Administering the death penalty to the South Carolina killer Dylan Roof is a mistake for several reasons. First, Dylan Roof should suffer in jail for everything that he did to those nine people. They were excited, charming to welcome a man that never been to church and to let him stayed with them to the Bible study class. They were not meticulous because at the end of the Bible study he decided to kill nine innocent people, but hopefully he gets what he deserves in jail.

More protest were brought to the surface of the world after the shooting of an unarmed African American boy after he robbed the local convenience store in Ferguson Missouri, shot by a White police officer Darren Wilson, while confronting the African American boy Michael Brown Jr (Clarke, 2014). The response to the shooting went directly towards an automatic prejudice response of the police officer being racist towards Michael giving him no chance to surrender without need of weapon discharge. After the death and protest people created shirts stating “Racism is not over, but I’m over racism”, this shirt was created as a memorial shirt for the death of Michael Brown. This form of memorial seems more of a form of attention and a way to bring money into those people's pockets to which created the shirt. The pre judgement of the shooting being

According to Linder (2006) Timothy McVeigh began planning his attack September 1994. He and co-conspirators rented a storage building on September 22, 1994 and began buying the supplies needed to make the bomb. In October he went to the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building to inspect the building and decided where he wanted to park the explosive filled truck. McVeigh practiced with explosives to make sure the combinations were correct. By March of 1995 both of his co-conspirators had backed out, but did not report McVeigh’s plan to authorities (Linder, 2006). The bombing was planned to take place on the 2 year anniversary of a stand off between right wing extremist and the federal law enforcement authorities in Waco, TX on April 19, 1993 (Linder,

“Prosecutors will seek death penalty for alleged Charleston church shooter Dylan Roof’. The author of this article is Sheila Baylis. The reason this article sparked my interest is because of Dylan’s mentality on the topic. Twenty one year old Dylan Roof was accused of killing nine people at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston. The problem is obviously racism, a white male walks into a black church which he was very kindly invited into, sits with these people for hours and kills them. What really pisses me off, is that he saw how happy and joyful these people where about their religion but felt nothing when he killed them. I feel like there is no solution to racism, there will always be racism as long as there is hate.

The Charleston church shooting was a mass shooting and hate crime that took place at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. This took place during the evening of June 17, 2015. This shook the entire world and was heard all over the news. Nine people including the pastor were killed by the gunman Dylann Roof, A 21-year-old white supremacist. Fortunately, three people survived the Charleston church massacre. The next day after the attack, police arrested Roof in Shelby, North Carolina. He confessed to committing the shooting hoping to start a race war. He had a website that described his motives and what was going through his head. He specifically targeted one of the US oldest black churches. Roof wrote “I have no choice. I am not in the position to, alone, go into the ghetto and fight. I chose Charleston because it is most historic city in my state, and at one time had the highest ratio of blacks to Whites in the country. We have no skinheads, no real KKK, no one doing anything on the internet. Well someone has to have the bravery to take it to the real world,
