Nine killed at South Carolina church

[festeringZit]

This sub forum is mostly a far right wing gathering place.....how you can think it's something else is beyond me.

Not even close to being true. Every time a poll is done to describe where people are on the political spectrum, there is an even distribution from left, middle, right.
There might be a slight right wing majority - but to say it's mostly an *extreme* right-wing blog, above stormfront is just idiocy, coming from probably
the biggest (lying) slime ball in here now that AKP has been (righfully) booted.

It just seems that way. Superbeets swings and misses quite often with his slanted posted articles.

I never mind his articles. I enjoy posting articles that differ from his, and I like SB. But when he clearly and intentionally is emphasizing one part of a speech, but eliminating what goes with it, he is pulling the same sort of shit Fox News pulls, and sick hacks like casper pull, when they pick and choose quotes to use, and quotes to ignore. That's beneath SB. Usually.

Hey Superbeets,

Ignore the (two) fucking flaming far leftist retards in here, they don't represent America, and they don't represent people with common sense.

Actually and thankfully, you sick, anti Muslim racist Fuck, Vit and I represent the mainstream of America far more than you and insane idiots like casper(who isn't American) and the Terrorist and Kid Touching Supporting POS, and others of your ilk do.

 

[superbeets]

WITH THIS KIND OF FREQUENCY. You should be ashamed of yourself, SB, absolutely ashamed.

The whole point is the KIND OF FREQUENCY with which Obama uses "We are the only developed country on earth where this happens."



And this is historical facts, the transcripts of his speeches with these words are historical factual documents.

These are not opinions to be debated; these are facts to be dealt with.

How did I know that I could get you to spout the racist slur, you lying shit-stain? Because that's who you are, a lying piece of sewer shit. You are a vile excuse for a human being.

By the way, I reported your lying race-baiting again. Hopefully you'll get banned just like your hero AkPhiDelt.

Quite a man. I'm sure the mods are thrilled at you pestering them because you're a Sick, Fake Religious, Muslim Hating Coward, who can't deal with it when he gets called on it. Just like a gutless coward like yourself to have to try and ban opposing voices of normalcy. Keep pestering them, you sick racist fuck.

Good. Here's another. You're a lying, Fake religious, Muslim hating Racist, piece of human excrement. Your family and the Church you purportedly go to are ashamed of you. Now report this as an attack on your family again, so the Mods can get a good laugh, as they always do when you go crying to them.

Racism remains "a blight" on society, US President Barack Obama says, in the wake of the killing of nine African-Americans in a South Carolina church.



Speaking in San Francisco, Mr Obama said: "The apparent motivations of the shooter remind us that racism remains a blight that we have to combat together.
"We have made great progress, but we have to be vigilant because it still lingers.
"And when it's poisoning the minds of young people, it betrays our ideals and tears our democracy apart."


But the president praised the families of the victims for the forgiveness they had shown.
He said it was "an expression of faith that is unimaginable but that reflects the goodness of the American people".



Mr Obama also called for a new debate on gun control, and pushed Congress to follow public opinion.
"It's not enough for us to express sympathy; we have to take action," he said.

WASHINGTON, June 19 (Reuters) - The Justice Department will fast track the sending of $29 million to South Carolina to help families of victims of the mass murder of nine churchgoers at a historic black church in Charleston, a Justice Department spokesman said on Friday.
An unspecified portion of the money, allocated under the government's national Crime Victim Assistance Formula Grant program, can be used to provide services to the families of victims of the shootings at Emmanuel AME Church, spokesman Kevin Lewis said.

Victim: The Reverend Clementa Pinckney, 41, pictured, has been confirmed as one of the nine people who were killed in the shooting on Wednesday night. He also worked in the state senate

Tribute: His desk was draped in black cloth with a single rose and vase at the Statehouse on Thursday

State Senator Vincent Sheheen is emotional as he sits next to the draped desk of state Senator Pinckney

Clementa Pinckney, 41, was the beloved pastor of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the country's oldest black churches, and had been a state legislator for 19 years.
He has been remembered as a 'giant' and a 'legend' by his peers.
Just one year after graduating from Allen University in 1995, Pinckney became, at 23, the youngest African-American elected to the South Carolina Legislature. In 2000, he was elected to the state Senate.
He earned a master's degree in public administration from the University of South Carolina in 1999 and studied at the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary.
A native of Beaufort, Pinckney began preaching at age 13 and was first appointed pastor at 18. He was named pastor of Mother Emanuel AME Church in 2010, according to the state Democratic Party.
'He had a core not many of us have,' said Sen. Vincent Sheheen, who sat beside him in Senate chambers. 'I think of the irony that the most gentle of the 46 of us — the best of the 46 of us in this chamber — is the one who lost his life.'
He is survived by his wife and two children.

On Instagram, he shared an image of his mother beside the Reverend Pinckney, and wrote: 'In this pictured are two new Angels in the sky. One of them happens to be my mommmy.
'It's funny how I always told you that you went to church too much. You would laugh it off and say, "Boy you can never have too much of the Lord."'

DEPAYNE MIDDLETON DOCTOR

+25


Gunned down: Another of the victims was identified as DePayne Middleton Doctor, 49, (pictured). Middleton had retired in 2005 as Charleston County director of the Community Development Block Grant Program

Whether she was working with college students or Charleston’s poorest residents, DePayne Middleton-Doctor wanted to be in a position to help people.
So co-workers weren’t surprised when she decided to become a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
'She was a woman of God,' said Joel Crawford, who worked with Middleton-Doctor at Southern Wesleyan University’s campus in Charleston. 'She was strong in her faith.'
Middleton-Doctor, a 49-year-old mother of four daughters, just started her job as an enrollment counselor at the university in December, said Crawford, who worked with her as a student services coordinator.
Before that, Middleton-Doctor had been employed for several years by Charleston County, where she helped administer grants aimed at helping the county’s poorest residents with problems they couldn’t otherwise afford to fix such as repairing roofs or septic tanks, said J. Elliott Summey, chairman of the Charleston County Council. He said she left her county job in 2005.
Crawford said Middleton-Doctor often went to midweek prayer meetings at Emanuel AME Church as she worked toward becoming a minister.
On Facebook, her sister paid tribute to her 'beautiful Songbird'.
'I will truly miss you my love,' she wrote. 'Your beautiful personality, your laughter, your smile, and your love for everyone.'
