On December 7, 2016, Roof's federal trial began.[142] The jury consisted of "two black women, eight white women, one white man and one black man".[143] Two days into the trial, Roof's confession was played in court, admitting that he had killed the people at the church before chuckling.[144] On December 15, 2016, after about two hours of deliberation, the jury found Roof guilty on all 33 counts.[145]

At a court hearing on December 28, 2016, Roof reiterated that he would proceed with the sentencing phase without attorneys, although Judge Gergel repeatedly warned him that it was not in his interests to do so. At the hearing Roof said that he did not plan to call any witnesses or present any evidence at the sentencing phase in order to avoid the death penalty.[146]

On January 3, 2017, following a lengthy closed-door competency hearing, Judge Gergel denied a motion, submitted under seal by Roof's court-appointed counsel, that sought to have Roof declared incompetent.[147][148] Gergel wrote: "After fully considering all of the evidence presented, the court ruled from the bench that Defendant remains competent to stand trial and to self-represent."[147]

On January 10, 2017, the jury recommended the death penalty for Roof,[149] and on January 11, 2017 Judge Gergel sentenced Dylann Roof to death by lethal injection.[150]

Until April 19, 2017, Roof was located at the Charleston County Jail; on that day federal authorities took custody of him and took him to FTC Oklahoma City. On April 22, 2017, Roof arrived at USP Terre Haute, the location of the federal death row for men and the federal execution chamber

Manhunt and capture
The attack was treated as a hate crime by police, and officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were called in to assist in the investigation and manhunt.[33][69]

At 10:44 a.m., on the morning after the attack, Roof was captured in a traffic stop in Shelby, North Carolina, approximately 245 miles (394 km) from the shooting scene. Shelby had been the childhood home of Thomas Dixon, Jr., the white supremacist author whose Clansman series of books is widely regarded for inspiring the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in the twentieth century.[70] A .45-caliber pistol was found in the car during the arrest, though it was not immediately clear if it was the same one used in the attack.[71][72]

Police received a tip-off from a driver, Debbie Dills, from Gastonia, North Carolina. She recognized Roof driving his car, a black Hyundai Elantra with South Carolina license plates and a three-flag "Confederate States of America" bumper decoration,[73][74] on U.S. Route 74, recalling security camera images taken at the church and distributed to the media. She later recalled, "I got closer and saw that haircut. I was nervous. I had the worst feeling. Is that him or not him?" She called her employer, who contacted local police, and then tailed the suspect's car for 35 miles (56 km) until she was certain authorities were moving in for an arrest.[75] His older half sister also reported him to the police after seeing his photo on the news.[11][76]

Roof was arrested and was interrogated by agents of the FBI. He stated that he had been traveling to Nashville, Tennessee, when he was arrested in Shelby. Police in Shelby deferred his questioning to the FBI.[77] An unidentified source said interrogations with Roof after his arrest determined he had been planning the attack for around six months, researched Emanuel AME Church, and targeted it because of its role in African-American history.[33]

Dylan's Victims

Reaction by white supremacists
Although the Council of Conservative Citizens took down its website on June 20 in the immediate wake of negative publicity,[51] its president, Earl Holt, stated that the organization was "hardly responsible" for Roof's actions.[54] The organization also issued a statement saying that Roof had some "legitimate grievances" against black people and that the group's website "accurately and honestly report[s] black-on-white violent crime".[65] Harold Covington, the founder of the Northwest Front, also condemned Roof's actions, but called the attack "a preview of coming attractions".[56]

Through analysis of his manifesto, the Southern Poverty Law Center alleged that Roof was a reader and commenter on The Daily Stormer, a white nationalist news website.[66] Its editor Andrew Anglin "repudiated Roof's crime and publicly disavowed violence, while endorsing many of Roof's views."[67] He claimed that while he would have sympathy with a white man shooting criminals, killing innocents including elderly women was "a completely insane act

while Gray was in police custody.[30] He also often claimed that "blacks were taking over the world".[36] Roof reportedly told friends and neighbors of his plans to kill people, including a plot to attack the College of Charleston, but his claims were not taken seriously.

On the evening of June 17, 2015, a mass shooting took place at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, United States. During a routine Bible study at the church, a white man about 21 years old, later identified as Roof, opened fire with a handgun, killing nine people.[33] Roof was unemployed[34] and living in largely African-American Eastover at the time of the attack.[

Roof was born in Columbia, South Carolina, to Franklin Bennett (called Bennett) Roof, a carpenter and a construction contractor,[9] and Amelia "Amy" Cowles, a bartender. His parents had divorced but were temporarily reconciled at the time of his birth. When Roof was five,[10] his father married Paige Mann (née Hastings) in November 1999; they divorced after ten years of marriage. Roof has two siblings, an older half sister[11] and a younger sister, Morgan Roof.[12] Bennett Roof was allegedly verbally and physically abusive toward Mann.[11][13][14][15][16] The family mostly lived in South Carolina, though from about 2005 to 2008, they temporarily moved to the Florida Keys. There is no information about Roof attending local schools there.[17]

According to a 2009 affidavit filed for Mann's divorce, Roof exhibited "obsessive compulsive behavior" as he grew up, obsessing over germs and insisting on having his hair cut in a certain style.[13] When he was in middle school, he exhibited an interest in smoking marijuana, having once been caught spending money on it.[10]

In nine years, Roof attended at least seven schools in two South Carolina counties, including White Knoll High School in Lexington, in which he repeated the ninth grade, finishing it in another school. He apparently stopped attending classes in 2010 and, according to his family, dropped out of school and spent his time alternating between playing video games and taking drugs, such as Suboxone.[10][11][13][18][19] He was on the rolls of a local Evangelical Lutheran congregation, but it was unclear if he had recently attended.[20]

Prior to the attack, Roof was living alternately in Bennett's and Cowles' homes in downtown Columbia and Hopkins, respectively,[14][21][22] but was mostly raised by his stepmother Mann.[13] For several weeks preceding the attack, Roof had also been occasionally living in the home of an old friend from middle school and the latter's mother, two brothers, and girlfriend.[15][22][23] He allegedly spent his time using drugs and getting drunk.[22] He had been working as a landscaper at the behest of his father, but quit the job prior to the shooting.[10]

His maternal uncle, Carson Cowles, said that he expressed concern about the social withdrawal of his then-nineteen-year-old nephew, because "he still didn't have a job, a driver's license or anything like that and he just stayed in his room a lot of the time."[24] Cowles said he tried to mentor Roof, but was rejected and they drifted apart.[24] According to Mann, Roof cut off all contact with her after her divorce from his father. When his sister planned to be married, he did not respond to her invitation to the event.[15][16]

A former high school classmate said that despite Roof's racist comments, some of his friends in school were black

Three days after the shooting, a website titled The Last Rhodesian was discovered and later confirmed by officials to be owned by Roof. The website contained photos of Roof posing with symbols of white supremacy and neo-Nazism, along with a manifesto in which he outlined his views toward blacks, among other peoples. He also claimed in the manifesto to have developed his white supremacist views after reading about the 2012 shooting of Trayvon Martin and black-on-white crime.

On December 15, 2016, Roof was convicted in federal court of all 33 federal charges (including hate crimes) against him stemming from the shooting; on January 11, 2017, he was sentenced to death for those crimes.[4] On March 31, 2017, Roof agreed to plead guilty in South Carolina state court to all state charges pending against him—nine counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony—to avoid a second death sentence. In return, he accepted a sentence of life in prison without parole.[5] On April 10, 2017, Roof was sentenced to nine consecutive sentences of life without parole after formally pleading guilty to state murder charges.[

Dylann Storm Roof[1] (born April 3, 1994) is an American white supremacist and mass murderer convicted for perpetrating the Charleston church shooting on June 17, 2015 in the U.S. state of South Carolina.[2][3] During a Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Roof killed nine people, all African Americans, including senior pastor and state senator Clementa C. Pinckney, and injured one other person. After several people identified Roof as the main suspect, he became the center of a manhunt that ended the morning after the shooting with his arrest in Shelby, North Carolina. He later confessed that he committed the shooting in hopes of igniting a race war.

hahn:
Oh I can help if that is what you want.

What we need is to create a Facebook page and also a group. Twitter and Instagram too. The page will be a broad niche where different causes can be fought under.

We will also need a website to represent the organisation.

Then we will need funds for massive advertising on all platforms.

I can provide the things listed above. For a fee of course and I have other ideas towards raising funds towards different causes.

Dm for info

ok I sent you a dm , thank you kind sir!

FarmTech:
.
So long as Satan and disobedience to God exist, things like this will happen. But if u make God ur number one, he won't let such happen to u. This does not mean that bad things can't happen to a Christian. God allows it for a reason if it does happen.

so this rape was for a reason? Wow

hahn:
Lol

You sound really naive.

You are yet to realise Nigerians love Nigeria the way it is.

That's why the wise ones travel abroad

if you are not helping don't discourage me

ModestGal:
That's very good but please do a peaceful one,and don't do a physical protest for now due to covid19, I want you to start a social media one first. I stand with you, I stand with justice

I tried nobody cared like they did not know what I was talking about

budaatum:
As you might find, if dad had spoken against the government that pays him, he might have struggled to put food on the table to feed you if he was the only one speaking against government.

My dad spoke against government and we starved. I am very proud of him though, and I went on to refuse to collect fraudulent government money for books I freely donate to my local government library.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/10212087_5781581015088247121777951761277895664611229464170n_jpeg2c7d297bd230399d4decfbf22c2bd804

They asked me to bring them to the local government so they can access the value, inflate it, and I'll sign for like 100m and collect half while they keep the rest. I told them to fuq off, deposited the books in the library and walked away, and imported five more lots of books. Now, they see me as a mad person they can't mess with, lol.

There are different ways to protest, is my point.

wow, Is your dad a compol too?

budaatum:
See. Day 1.

I know I'll try again tomorrow

budaatum:
I bet dad already dared you not to go out and protest. Lol.

haha , old folks right? I believe he cannot speak against the government because he gets paid by the government , but we the youths are done with this old people ruling us , we are not running leadership of the elderly na , even foolish people get old . Stop listening to all elders thinking there are intelligent because they quote proverbs, theyvare as clueless as we the youths
