BREAKING: Dylan Roof guilty of murder in SC church killings.

Only two hours of deliberation were required according to MSNBC.
Currently found guilty on 28 of 33 counts. The penalty phase, as I understand it, will come later.

More: ALL of the hate crime counts were upheld. (And make no mistake about it, hate crime laws were on trial every bit as much as was the murderous little racist.)

More: Now guilty on all 33 counts.

I don't believe in the death penalty, so I hope Dylan Roof has the opportunity to rot away in prison for the rest of his life in contemplation for what he did.

This tragedy should have been a huge wake-up call to people who thought that we were in some post-racial America. I wonder if Trump's Department of Justice will even bother to look into right-wing terrorism and recruitment online.
