Yeah, I’m going to say it: I appreciate the questioning from a Republican senator here. Dylann Roof murdered nine Black people in a historic Black church. He committed an act of domestic terrorism in a house of worship.
Excusing him from his sentence because of anxiety is complete bullshit. We have to remain tough on crime and admit that some monsters do not deserve grace or mercy. He entered a church where people were serving God and showed them none. Give him the same. Stop pussyfooting around this.
Reform's view is that they should be free to abuse their political opponents in any terms they choose, but their political opponents should not be allowed to respond in kind. And they should just admit it, rather than keep making themselves look ridiculous like this.
