I personally want to say how sorry I am for the victims and their families. This is one of the ugliest acts in recent memory.

My prayers will go out to all of them. May God be with them, and with the people of Charleston.
 
I think the prayers should go out to those with so much hate in their heart toward their fellow man.
 
The struggle of good men to conquer evil will never end, and this is just another reminder that we must all remain diligent. That battle is fought by good men spreading joy, and never relenting to those who seek to destroy it.

A lost young man who likely grew up in a close knit societal area of ignorance and bigotry.

Please, don't start that here. Especially if you're not even in the US.

Really, why is that?

You don't think America needs tighter guns controls?

What does where I live have to do with anything?
 
They caught the guy that did it now the important thing is that it is over, any retaliation at this point from any point of view is a bad idea. Just remember any bad idea or event can always get bigger and worse. Lets hope that does not happen.

I do not know why he did it lets hope he was acting alone. Tragic for those who lost loved ones. Too bad.

The united stand from the families involved saying they forgive him was impressive, and inspirational. I don't know if I'd have the strength to do the same if it were my wife who was murdered.

He was hoping to pick up where Charles Manson left off and start a race war. He dropped out in the 9th grade and surprise, surprise, he was unemployed. His father in a brilliant stroke of genius bought him the 45 handgun he used to commit the murders for his 21st birthday. His friends said he has been planning this for 6 months. I don't know why they don't arrest them too if they knew something like this was going to happen and they said nothing. The sad thing is that millions of dollars will be spent on his trial and incarceration and if they go for the death penalty, he will probably be in jail for 15-20 years while his appeals make their way through the courts. Too bad he didn't get killed on the spot since his guilt is 100% not in doubt.
 
You can't because you are trying to apply logic to where it doesn't exist eg. a disturbed mind. Obviously something is miswired.

This incident bothered me almost as much as the Connecticut school shooting.

I have been referring to this guy as just another dumb-a$$ with a gun.

Despicable, stupid, dumb, wasteful, and other words of this type certainly apply to this act. But they don't address the root cause of this type behavior. Children growing up in an environment that fosters prejudice and violence; and an educational system that fails to teach humanity and adequate skills, especially for the impoverished.
