The justice system here has arrested a suspect in less than 24 hours, the same system arrested the officer that shot the other man in the back and charged him immediately.
Where are you getting your info? It doesn't mesh with what I know to be true.
All MOO

According to the news media, this young man was detained numerous times in the recent past for a variety of serious offenses. He had threatened people in the past. He'd been found with illegal drugs, controlled substances, yet his only punishment was probation. If a young black man had engaged in the same kind of threatening criminal activity in that area, he would have been jailed for a long time.

The killer gave many clues, was a known drug user for many years who talked in racist terms about others. Apparently that didn't raise any red flags in that community. It doesn't speak well for them.

I'm mad that he seems to be wearing a bullet proof vest. I feel bad for saying that but still😔

As per what is known so far he just this year had a record. Yes, it's wrong that he said he was gonna kill people and Noone did nothing however people didn't take him seriously. It happens, regardless of race.

How does one even shot an 87 year old woman?

 

[zwiebel]

He hasn't been found guilty I know, but if he is...I really don't think Roof will do well in prison. I guess nobody likes it, but looking at him I just think he'll find it very difficult indeed.

And he keeps getting in trouble with the law, but is never given serious jail time? Actually, I'm not surprised. I have family who moved to this general area about 25 yrs ago. Some of them left, saying it was a horribly racist, corrupt place. The rest I have no relationship with, as they turned into virulent conservative racists. Sad, really, what that area does to normal people who move there.

From what I understand, the justice system there is very corrupt. If you're white and your family has lived many years in the area, you're pretty much immune from punishment.

Wow.
Actually, I'm not surprised. I moved away from this general area about 10 years ago. Sometimes I want to leave the north where I am now, as it can be a horribly corrupt place. I have few relationships with the locals, as they are virulent crooked extortionists. Sad, really, what this area did to this normal, intelligent person who moved here.

From what I've witnessed firsthand, the justice system both here and there can be very corrupt. There, if you're RICH and your family has lived many years in the area, you're pretty much immune from punishment. Here, if you are of a certain few ethnic backgrounds or are friends, family or coworkers of the coincidentally racial-minority liberal government, you're pretty much immune from punishment.

We pick our poisons. I'd rather live anywhere in the US, each with its own set of problems, than in some other options in this world for now.

jmo He's not going to be in gen pop in prison.

And I find that totally disgusting.
