Prosecutors redact the evidence in Dylann Roof trial

November 3rd story from The Post and Courier. The newspaper doesn't see why everything has to be so secret on the Dylann Roof case. Roll our those photos and incidental reports. The guy is toast, anyway. Burnt toast in the garbage can!

The ways of the law are a mystery to me, but I would guess the prosecutors think the photos and reports they blacked out might stir up some sympathy for young Roof. Dylann Roof hugging his old black Mammy. Dylann Roof at Disneyland, posing with Goofy. Dylann Roof sleeping like an angel. (The kind of pix your Mom takes of you and posts on facebook when you are little.) Just kidding!

Dylann's mother's name is Amy.

What do we learn from this article? (If you have not followed the case obsessively, like I haven't.) Mr. Roof drove a Hyundai Elantra. He took photos with a Kodak EasyShare camera. He also owned a Glock 41, but we already knew that - at least, the Glock part.

Also note that photos that show a person celebrating white identity are "hate." Everyone else can be a victim of the system when they pose with their historical flags, but white people establish evidence of their motives for committing hate crimes when they do it. (Now, tell me about that white supremacist system that we live under...)
