Probably just variance in reporting. CNN says "early twenties."How can they only have a 'vague' description of the shooter and state it is a '21 year old white male'
The age seems rather precise...

Asians can't be racist?A zoom in on the front license plate looks like the s korean flag. And the kids skin tone and haircut look more Asian than redneck. Hopefully this keeps the race mongering rhetoric from Sharpton/MSNBC/Twitter to a minimum if he turns out to be Asian.
I think the issue is that all the reports are that it is a white male when he may be Asian. Not that it really matters, they just need to catch this guy.Asians can't be racist?A zoom in on the front license plate looks like the s korean flag.

What if he self-identifies as a white male?I think the issue is that all the reports are that it is a white male when he may be Asian.

I'm sure the guy's motive will come out in the next day or two. Unfortunately, I have to assume that this is race-based, but it's terrible regardless.Terrible.
They are treating it as a hate crime. Is it because they were christian or black, both?
The suspect is a clean-shaven young white male, about 5 feet 9 inches tall, of slender build and with sandy blond hair. He was wearing a gray sweatshirt or hoodie, blue jeans and Timberland boots, officials said.I think the issue is that all the reports are that it is a white male when he may be Asian.

I suppose this stuff happens in other countries but it sure seems to be epidemic here. I hope this guy is found quickly...Another day in America
This is sad stuff but it happens every ####### day!; be it in the 'hood in Anacostia or a church in SC, or a first grade class (or was it kindergarden) in CT.I suppose this stuff happens in other countries but it sure seems to be epidemic here.

Obviously the people calling it that know more of the details than we do, but my guess is that maybe it's at least in part because he let someone live and told the person he was doing that so they could "tell others what happened." It's hard to imagine why someone would do that other than to instill fear into other people who have something in common with the victims, whether it's race or religion or whatever.Terrible.

I have seen some reports that there was a verbal altercation before the shooting took place as well. If this turns out to be the case it strikes me as unlikely that race would be the motivating factor. He knew what race everyone was the moment he walked into the building. The whole incident is bizarre no matter how you look at it.The part that strikes me as odd is that the gunman sat thru an hour long prayer service and then opened fire. Trying to get people's guard down?
The only pic I saw was blurry, but I usually see the symbol associated with some sort of martial arts studio (dojo's?). At least in the license plate, bumper sticker, t-shirt type application of it.A zoom in on the front license plate looks like the s korean flag.

thought it was weird that everyone on twitter wants to blame someone else for the massacre. reading tweets from black people get killed buying skittles, walking to school, and now praying in church. Rob Lowe is pissed it took news agencies so long to say the shooter was a "white male!"Maybe the victims were from the north?the Governor does what now?Chase Madar @ChMadar 8h8 hours ago

It's this kind of sophomoric hyperbole which is exactly why I don't use Twitter or Facebook.Reasons black people are killed in USA: buying skittles, riding trains, selling cigarettes, riding bikes, holding toys, praying #Charleston
Rather than report on #Charleston shooting, Fox News has an extended interview with this clown Donald Trump
I know, we white people are so lucky we're never killed by anyone.Reasons black people are killed in USA: buying skittles, riding trains, selling cigarettes, riding bikes, holding toys, praying #Charleston

Fox has been reporting on the shooting story for hours both on television and radio. There are other ongoing news events as well, you know.
linkSylvia Johnson, a cousin of church shooting victim Pastor Clementa Pinckney says she spoke with one of the survivors "and she said that he had reloaded five different times... and he just said 'I have to do it. You rape our women and you're taking over our country. And you have to go.'"
This is so sad and infuriating. Is it 1960 again?linkSylvia Johnson, a cousin of church shooting victim Pastor Clementa Pinckney says she spoke with one of the survivors "and she said that he had reloaded five different times... and he just said 'I have to do it.

I don't give two ####s what FOX news does, but "other news events" seems like a pretty lame excuse.
