14 #charlestonshooting Tweets Show How The Media Covers White Terrorism by cilifa: 5:06pm On Jun 18, 2015
Dylann Roof, a 21-year-old white man who allegedly shot and killed nine black people during a Bible study in the historically African-American Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, was captured Thursday morning. The Charleston Police Department said it believed the murders were racially motivated.

"We believe this is a hate crime; that is how we are investigating it," Greg Mullen, Charleston Police Chief, said at a news conference early Thursday.

It didn't take long for people's powerful reactions to pour in on Twitter. Many were outraged at the initial lack of media coverage, which many believe is because the perpetrator was a white male and the victims were black, and others didn't hesitate to define the act as "terrorism."

Public figures have expressed their disdain for the media's response to this shooting, including actor Rob Lowe.
