Dylann Roof

The murderer appears to be all smiles. He is on TV. You drop out of school, kill a few people, and you'll be on TV,  especially in summertime when there are less exciting news.  My guess is that we'll have another similar murder in the next few weeks.
What kind of society is this?

I look in horror at people ready to "forgive". We do not have the right to forgive the harm done to somebody else, only the harm done to ourselves. Right now, only the dead could forgive, and they are not there to do it. The murderer does not even asks for forgiveness. He is basking in the new glory that the media are eager to offer him. Something new to boost the audience index!

Yes we have a gun control problem. 
We also have a big education problem. In this generation,  teachers are so afraid of being sued that they have become totally inefficient. From educationworld.com: "The majority of school principals have been threatened with lawsuits."(in an article by Gary Hopkins, 2004). The same paper says that defensive teaching is to teach in such a way that you avoid legal challenges. There is no free speech for the prof.  Maybe it is the reason why the basics of living together are ignored.

I listen to all the comments, the correct ones and the sensitive ones and I just realize that there is one word always missing. Nobody ever uses the word gratitude. As if we were tolerant, but never grateful for what black people have done for this nation.
