Charleston Shooting

Hey guys! Welcome back to my blog. I hope you've all been enjoying my posts. Today I wanted to talk about something that has really hit me hard. So hard that it makes me sick to my stomach that something like this could happen. Incase you haven't heard, there's been a shooting in Charleston, South Carolina on June 17th of this year. The shooting happened at an African- American church called Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Nine people were killed by the assailant Dylan Roof. He targeted them out of racism but that's not particularly the only reason why this situation bothers me so much.

What disgusts me the most is the fact that this man was welcomed into a sanctioned church event, brought in with open arms practically. Then he sat there, through the whole church ceremony while everyone was trying to continue on with their faith, then he had the audacity to shoot up the church and kill 9 victims. I find it appalling that people from his community tried to cover the story up, saying that he did it because he had a mental illness. I find that to be so horrible that someone tried to save this terrorist by claiming he had a mental illness when it was proven he did not. He was simply a racist who too his beliefs way too far. It's terrible that in a world we live in that we are surrounded with people who have so much hate and disrespect in their hearts to not eve consider the lives of others.

Here's a video of a news anchor that made a commentary on this subject. Its a great video and worth the watch so I hope you enjoy, and I hope you all liked this blog post!
