They gave him money as if that would make it entirely his responsibility if he bought a gun with it. Sadder still is the story of his buddy who heard a drunken rant about starting a race war and decided he'd better take Roof's gun away. He changed his mind the following morning because he didn't want to be accused of stealing. The tragedy there was that this kid had a thought of intervening, chickened out, and never thought of telling anyone who mattered about Roof's ravings.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-30427397695788386572015-06-20T04:42:57.577-04:002015-06-20T04:42:57.577-04:00I haven't been able to track down the truth, b...I haven't been able to track down the truth, but so far I've seen a few posts online which claim that Roof was turned down when he attempted to purchase a weapon for himself. If this is the case, his father should be considered for possible charges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-71789530416772730342015-06-19T09:59:39.064-04:002015-06-19T09:59:39.064-04:00Dylann Storm Roof was given a gun by his father fo...Dylann Storm Roof was given a gun by his father for his birthday. Makes him a 2nd generation racist, doesn't it? Or, maybe, this was a multi-generational thing. Daddy was divorced once, maybe twice, so Dylann's the product of a broken home. I'd leave him in a cell to watch a marathon of In The Heat of the Night and straighten out what few brain cells he has.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.com
