Links at the link. Some of these fuckwits are senators and/or presidential candidates. As the Daily Beast says, "‘Crazy’ Ben Carson Is The GOP’s Voice of Sanity on Charleston":

"Racial based hate is still very much alive as last night so violently reminds us,” he wrote on Facebook. “I fear our intolerance of one another is the new battle ground of evil. Today many feel it is ok to hate someone who thinks different than you do…As a brain surgeon I can assure you that all of our brains look the same, no matter what our skin color or party affiliation.”

3. There's an even more extreme version of the false flag claim

I saw a comment in a Facebook thread saying it never really happened, that it was all staged as a ploy to enact anti-gun legislation, and citing the fact that Roof's Facebook page was only set up a few months ago, had only a few dozen friends, and was thin on content.

I've also seen people having to refute the claim that the photo of Roof in the black jacket with the patches was photoshopped.

This is an extension of the gun-nut claim that Sandy Hook was faked using actors. They apparently don't want to believe that gun owners ever actually kill people.

5. If this, like Sandy Hook, were faked to enact a gun grab, where the hell is the gun grab?

Alex Jones and crew can't seem to answer that one. These people, and not the latest shooter, are the ones who are mentally ill.

4. They make me physically ill.

I really can't take it anymore.
