Turned on the television and saw the judge at Dylann Roof’s hearing blather on and on about how the murderer’s family members “are also victims.” He definitely gave their “victimhood” more attention than to that of the murdered people.
When the judge started on with “we need to remember that the 9 people who are dead are not the only victims here”, I was naive enough to think he was about to talk about the African American community in Charleston. But no, the real victims here are the relatives of the murderer who “found themselves in the midst of a whirlwind of attention.” Yes, those poor little bunnies. Let’s all feel bad for them now.
Since the victims’ families are too gracious and too shellshocked to tell the judge to fuck off, I will (musical interlude).

As always, Millie says it best.
I love Millie Jackson so much, I first became obsessed with ‘It hurts so good’ and then I wore out my copy of “Caught up” when it came out, one of the greatest soul albums of the 1970s.

And now this
idiot can commiserate with Walter Scott’s murderer:
The Charleston County jail is housing Roof in a cell adjacent to former North Charleston police officer Michael Slager, who shot 50-year-old Walter Scott in the back on April 4, according to sheriff’s spokesman Maj. Eric Watson.

This judge has been reprimanded before for saying racist shit in his courtroom.

“There are four kinds of people in this world — black people, white people, red necks, and n*****s,” Gosnell said at the time.

I’m not surprised, unfortunately. There was something very off about his conduct in the courtroom yesterday.
