I bet that the majority of the people not in Charleston couldn't name the Charleston shooter either (not that his name is particularly important).

The whole France has been victim of that terrorist attack, just as the whole USA was victim of the Charleston shooting.

Also, what is your opinion on Apple using the shooting in Charleston for PR purpose?

For what it's worth, the people of the city of Charleston is responding to the tragedy about as beautifully as anybody could ask.

Who cares what comic book the Charleston shooter read when he was 15?

I mean, Charleston was about race though.

FPH is a high profile example, but there's a constant wash of racist brigading many of the defaults, even sweeping into dataisbeautiful after the Charleston church massacre.

The recent happenings in Charleston are unicorns.

Meanwhile, I bet a majority of Americans can tell you the name of the Charleston shooter but have no idea what percentage they paid in Federal income tax or payroll taxes last year.

It's rare that we have case like the Charleston church, and the Colorado movie theater, where we know the guy was seriously mentally ill, for his university psychiatrist was so concerned she broke doctor-patient confidentiality to report him, something you're only allowed to do if violence to self or others seems likely.

And yet the news reports I've heard on the shooting in Charleston kept mentioning "9 African Americans".

You have a big chunk of the country that seems like they're begging for chaotic racial incidents and the people in Charleston saying "No...this ends here."

This is a critical difference: as demonstrated by recent events (Charleston, etc.), there are terrible people that will take the "bigoted shit" to an extreme and cause physical harm.

Why, for example, is the Charleston tragedy more of a "race-persistent issue" than the almost two hundred people (mostly young black men) who have been murdered in Chicago alone in the past 6 months alone?

This report is also characteristic when considered in context of the killing spree in Charleston.

Charleston is completely different: it was a crazy, racist man with a gun.

Maybe Charleston, SC is just too small, but I've yet to see any real exclusionary practices in the area, nor have I heard any.
