No Surprise, a Death Sentence for Dylann Roof

I skipped over the Dylann Roof trial. The trial's most interesting point was that against all advice, Dylann represented himself because he did not want his lawyer to use mental health issues as a defense. I applaud Roof for this. Doubtful it would have made any difference to the jury. The judge let the witnesses conduct memorial services to the victims from the witness stand and let them berate Roof for being evil and say Roof deserved to die. He killed nine people, after all. Despite all the lies of the press, our justice system is not full of kindly klansmen who would make a hero out of a white supremacist or favor him in any way. White power types routinely get 30 years for offending negroes and annoying Jews.

Bizarrely, it was revealed that Roof's concern was that if he claimed to have mental problems, this would hurt his chances to get a high position in a future Aryan government.  Sad as this is, it is not so different from the fantasies of other prisoners with draconian sentences. They do not give up hope that they are getting out, and when they do, they are going to be honored and they will exact retribution on their enemies as needed.

So, here is Dylann Roof today, according to the BOP inmate locator:
