"Debbie Dills, a Kings Mountain florist making her morning commute from Gastonia, spotted Roof driving a black Hyundai Elantra on U.S. 74 in western Gaston County. After brief hesitation, she called her boss, Todd Frady, who then called the Kings Mountain Police Department. While Roof’s vehicle continued west on U.S. 74/Dixon Boulevard, the Shelby Police Department was alerted and tailed Roof to Plato Lee Road, where he was pulled over and captured by a host of local officers."

The black community was supposed to go insane and race riot, loot and burn over the Roof murders, but it didn't happen. Why not? Everyone wanted to know! Because, Shelby Police chief Jeff Ledford says, he was already working with the local blacks in "Partnership for Change." Apparently this means they had got all the black church leaders and other respectable types down to the police station to nip in the bud any black "peaceful protests," lynchings, race wars, etc. It is unreported whether any of them actually had to go into action.
Looking Forward: "His [Roof's]next South Carolina state court appearance is set for Feb. 5, while the federal trial date was pushed back on Dec. 1 to an unknown date."
