Makes sense.  Aren't they in charge of historical landmarks and places?

Looks shopped. But wouldn't be surprised.  Also, who doesn't put an area code on the phone number?

Since January, Roof has been arrested twice, both at the Columbiana Mall in Columbia, S.C. According to arrest records obtained CBS News investigative producer Laura Strickler, on February 28, Roof went into a Bath and Body Works store wearing all black and asked "out of the ordinary questions," including how many associates were working, when they closed and what time they leave. Mall employees complained and when an officer approached him Roof said "his parents were pressuring him to get a job."
The officer noted that Roof was becoming increasingly nervous. He searched Roof and found "orange strips" that Roof said were "suboxone," a Schedule 3 narcotic. Roof was arrested and his 2000 Hyundai Elantra was towed.

He was banned from the mall for one year. But on April 26, he returned and was arrested for trespassing and banned from the mall for three years. His car was turned over to his mother.

good grief, south carolina

The Confederate flag flying at the Statehouse in Columbia became part of the Charleston church shooting story Thursday after the U.S. and South Carolina flags were lowered in mourning but the rebel banner was left flying at its full height.

There was something in the comments about how it is "historic record" or something and not really ever lowered but goddam just get rid of it, people.

[michigancat]

once it was removed from the Statehouse dome it was given the status of historic relic. The state and US flags, which fly over the dome, are lowered on ceremonial occasions.

historical relic, according to guy on the internet

[Jabeez]

So its a stand alone flag, that isnt above the us and state flag?  I guess now is as good a time as any to continue to tell them to get rid of it. But, it doesnt seem any more outrageous than any other day that its flying.

I read an article today stating that the racist banner can only be lowered by legisilative decree since they moved it to a confederate war memorial. I cannot vouch for the veracity of it. I'll try to find it.

Lots of "if this guy was black he would have been wrestled to floor when being arrested" on twitter.

You gotta admit it's pretty interesting a kid that just killed 9 people and was considered armed and dangerous was more easily subdued than a guy selling cigarettes.

Maybe he didn't resist arrest?

True to form, President Obama has taken this occassion to politicize the event, somberly intoning that "this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries." I'm pretty sure that's not true. At all. But I'm also not sure what gun control he proposes to fix the problem. Seems to me that we need to work harder on crazy control.
