South Carolina Police Release Pictures Of Suspect In "Hate Crime" Shooting That Killed 9
Police have released photos of a white male they say is a suspect in the shooting that took the lives of nine people at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina on Wednesday evening.
As a reminder, around 9 pm EST last night, a white male in a grey sweatshirt and jeans opened fire inside Emanuel AME church during a prayer meeting.
Here are the images of the suspected shooter and his vehicle:
Police are describing the tragedy as a hate crime. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center there are 19 active hate groups in South Carolina...
More color from WSJ:
The scene was chaotic when police arrived and that officers thought they had the suspect tracked with a police dog, but he got away.
Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley called the shooting “the most unspeakable and heartbreaking tragedy.”
“The only reason that someone could walk into a church and shoot people praying is out of hate,” Mr. Riley said. “It is the most dastardly act that one could possibly imagine, and we will bring that person to justice.…This is one hateful person.”
The attack comes two months after the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man, Walter Scott, by a white police officer in neighboring North Charleston, which sparked major protests and highlighted racial tensions in the area. The officer has been charged with murder.
In a statement, Gov. Nikki Haley asked South Carolinians to pray for the victims and their families and decried violence on religious places.
“While we do not yet know all of the details, we do know that we’ll never understand what motivates anyone to enter one of our places of worship and take the life of another,” Mrs. Haley said.
Police moved members of the media back away from the site because of what they called an “imminent” threat but didn’t release any details.
The Emmanuel AME church is a historic African-American church that traces its roots to 1816, when several churches split from Charleston’s Methodist Episcopal church.
One of its founders, Denmark Vesey, tried to organize a slave revolt in 1822. He was caught, and white landowners had his church burned in revenge. Parishioners worshiped underground until after the Civil War.

Another kid on mind-altering drugs, another mass shooting.
Kid even looks like Adam Lanza.
Christ Jesus Almighty -- why is ZH citing the SPLC?
soooo, if i have been on the fence about buying a new AK, should Igo ahead and do it now? does this one qualify for something that will stoke fears of gun control and therefore clean out all the fun guns from stores?
"More guns" that's the answer to everything for rednecks!
I wouldn't say its the answer to EVERYTHING....
And if you have a problem with guns, don't fucking buy one.
You know to suspect SSRIs when they all sport the "I'm batshit crazy" chili-bowl haircut
The entire concept of a "hate crime" is utter bullshit. If you shoot someone (not in self defense) it's a crime, period. Let's stop with the Orwellian "thought crime" nonsense.
All crimes are equal, but some crimes are more equal than others.

How do they know he was really white? The NAACP couldn't even figure out their own chairwoman was white.
chupa:
hers was not a hate crime.
it was a crime of love.
a crime of compassion.
a crime of sincerity.
i am staring to see a pattern with kids with bowl-cuts and mass shootings...
Keep the fuck away from Joey Lawrence and Adam Rich. Well, everbody else has....so this should be fairly easy advice to follow.
LOL. Just did a google image search for Adam Rich. I think I find our guy.

What if this "next Adam Lanza" self-identifies as black?
http://m.eagnews.org/?url=http%3A%2F%2Feagnews.org%2Fpegs-culturally-rel...
anything whites do is racist. check that story out it is very concerning.
I can't escape the feeling that this event is perfectly timed, perfectly executed and perfectly documented for the escalation of the carefully cultivated race war in America.
Normally (which I guess hasn't been for a long time now) I would politely suggest you have your tinfoil hat a notch too tight, Pairdimes. The first thing I thought about this was MK Ultra, which has always been hard to swallow.
I read about the CIA and their particular interest in Columbia's scopolamine back in the day. They call it Devil's Breath - they can pretty much get a person to do anything for hours without appearing drugged and the person has absolutely no recollection of it later on. It's used by the local hookers for cleaning out gringo's bank accounts or some rich guy's apartment.
The U.S. government has purchased unusual quantities for 'research' and funded quite a bit. SSRIs actually have a synergistic effect. Then the government got embarassed and hid the fact that they were buying any. It's done through a bunch of shell companies, but all the Columbians know who's buying it. Guess who else is a big buyer? Israel.
Now, why would the U.S. government (or Israel) be so interested in a totally banned and God damn weird date-rape drug that gives them total control of a victim for hours on end? To hell with their anthrax screw-ups - I'm 100x more terrified of the government using scopolamine on unwitting victims-as-terrorists to fuel their agenda. What the hell else are they using this for?
FBI 'informant' is getting cold feet for the terrorist plot they've been set up for? No problem - a little whiff of U.S. government Devils Breath, a few mags of fresh ammo (or pressure cookers) and they're good to go. Let them stay on the loose for a day or two before your heroic 'catch' and there's no traces. Of course, the patsy remembers nothing - total amnesia after they slept it off.
I'm gonnna need a bigger tin-foil hat.

"The only reason someone could walk into a church and shoot people praying is out of hate, the only reason," Riley said.
Or the FBI's scopolamine. Psychopathy in a pill. Lanza remembers nothing.
AHHHHAHAHHA niiiccee
It's a wig. Enlarge the photo and look at the nape of his neck---short black hair. Also, it was 87 degrees, with 67% humidity, at 8 pm last night in Charleston, so anyone wearing a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and Timberland boots was deliberately in disguise.
I think it's his real hair. Modified mushroom cut and bleach. The FBI must use some sick-assed hairdressers for their ops.
"...so anyone wearing a long-sleeve shirt..."
A long-sleeved shirt OVER a white, crew-neck tee-shirt. He's 500 miles too far south for that to be fashionable or make any sense at all.
I am not so sure. Here, in SoCal, I see many people dressed for bear when it is 80 degrees. Some people from the tropics get cold easy.
from the photo the hair had a sorta "wiggish" look about it and the skin had a slightly darkish tint to it. false flag possibility?
He told the lady he spared that the reason was because they rape our women (white women) and are destroying the country.
Wanna take a guess how many white women are raped daily by blacks?
Take a ride down to the local police station and have a look at the complaints, or the court house is even better.
The numbers are shocking to say the least. None are reported by the press. If they were we would have quite a bit more of a serious issue.
For Example: While standing in line for early release day from school, many were forced to over hear to two black men boast of fucking white women, they already have an adoption network set up for the ones they impregnate, and a disposal network set up for the ones who dont go with the plan. This took place in the school cafeteria outside the office.
That was one day, of one month, of one year. Rattle snake pits are a good start for these useless fucks.
At least he gave a legit and data provable reason for what he did, which does not justify killing innocent people, but it does show that more people are being touched by these occurrences, which would explain the heightened awareness to an undeniable trend of black on white rape and mutilations.
It's always been in the data, and it grows every day, but no one looks, or cares. So, what difference does any of it make? Other than a lead story for Thursday...
Ah, but "hate crime" makes it Federal.
Did not know that, so to justify its existence they attach 'Federal' to it, coool.
. . . which makes you guilty if charged.
yeah! let's throw the idea of motive out the window. Motive means nothing.
SC State Senator Clementa C. Pinckney - one of the confirmed dead.
Wonder what legislation he was sponsoring that sent that reject from Big Bang Theory off. Or maybe it was the SSRI drugs he was on...
He met with Hillary earlier in the day per wikipedia (fwiw). First death by Clinton 2015???
per WIKI:
"Sen. Pinckney spent much of his last day, June 17, 2015, campaigning with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in Charleston."
Hil did not enjoy being rebuffed by him for a ridiculously over the top southern accent.
I apologize for the big bang theory reference, i thought that was the (alleged) shooters crappy chili bowl cut. Turns out it's a hat. I shouldn't rush to judgement.
Well, then, good riddance.
haha no shit. Think of all the damage this guy has probably done to his state. And he is campaigning for hillary, who would do untold amounts of damage to this country. While I (obviously) don't condone murder, we are better off without him.
Hillary is a murderer; Senator campaigns for a murderer and ends up dead. That's whatcha call justice.
SSRI drugs he was on...
Most important question. Ive had the news on all morning, and havent heard that once. But there is no fucking way this guys wasn't taking an SSRI(or just stopped taking them) and you won't hear a fucking word about it, don't wanna piss of their pay masters i guess
Brokenriider appears to be Norwegian. He would probaby shoot his Lip's-Off cleaning it anyways.
Name calling weakens your posit, but thank you for the advice
'More guns' seems to work well at every level of US government, plus the military. USDA employees need semi-auto battle rifles. So do IRS employees. And every police department needs a tank. So, if it's good enough for government, it's good enough for me.
That is perhaps the best post regarding personal gun ownership that I have ever read.
thats true. They obviously know something that lead them to believe they should stock up. Id better follow their lead. Come to think of it, they are buying up millions of MREs too, so I should probably pick some of those up too
Good point, great rebuttal.
Tell it like 'tis brother
"Less guns" has been really effective in Mexico!
If this really happened and the assailant was white, he was a Mossad agent and is already back in Tel Aviv.
Plus, did you notice he's sporting the standard issued Adam Lanza haircut? His handler doesn't have any creative fashion sense.
Yes
Zerohedge has journalists. Have them investigate the Southern Poverty Law Center. I think when you do you will no longer use then as a source.
The SPLC is a hate group. ZeroHedge should know better than that.
Please, they've branded Dr. Ben Carson as a racist!
Some hate groups are more equal than others.
I was actually surprised to see that the Tea Party and Libertarian Party weren't on their list of 'haters.'
You just know the SPLC would love to add them to their list...
Indeed. One will note that being "anti LGBT" qualifies one as a hate group. nuff said.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Why give credit to that organization when ZH probably meets the criteria to be placed on one of their lists?
when ZH probably meets the criteria to be placed on one of their lists
you're right, but this wasn't always true.
Any libertarian group is a hate group according to the Scummy Pimp Leftist Communists
There's a point you missed, and if you don't know what it is, that's fine.
I see what you did there. ;)
The rascist, anti-semitic New Black Panther Party doesn't have a chapter in SC?
Maybe it's just an oversight on the SPLCs part....../s
Not necessary, as they list Nation of Islam in there as the token black hate group. I love how they're directly in the middle of the list too, surrounded by all those cracker groups.
How about the group "Americans have had Enough"? That sounds like a group that we all should be joining
I guess you are the type that would vote for the PATRIOT ACT or FREEDOM ACT then.
WOO WEEEEEE You only got 9 of them darkie nigger suns uh' bitches next time gimme a holler i'll come huntin wit ya boy 9 jus' aint enuff them dam niggers aint even people folk all dey goddam do all goddam day is sit on their goddamm ever loving crack smokin behinds listenin to the dam hip hops waching the goddamm BET's all goddaamm day waitin for the dam ebt to reload so they can go buy summore goddam crack! O wait a minute that aint no good christain white boy?! aint got no mullet?? no crew cut? goddam bowl cut??!! he aint no goddam christian nigger shootin crusader!! that there is a goddaam jew boy! nm y'all wake me when the shooter is a white protestant male next goddam time goddam boy we almost had us one!
sarc or meds. pick your poison next time.
At least they used quotes on "hate crime". When will the media start reporting on all the love crimes???
How could a hate crime happen in a state that flies the Confederate flag?
Have you seen the Governor? Hint, she isn't white. Add to that a black and a homosexual serving as their US Senators and SCarolinians can honestly claim the title of being "tolerant".
subtlety is lost on you isn't it?
Blacks RAPE 35,000 white females EVERY YEAR, including 2-4000 GANG RAPES.
pull the numbers for Hispanics and to be fair, normalize on per-capita basis
you may be shocked at what you find
They will catch him and he will suddenly be dead. Dead men tell no tales.
Then they'll bury him at sea before anyone sees the body. But they got him, for real.
And the agents that catch him will fall out of a helicopter during a training event, and the rest will just die in the chopper crash.
Pure coincidence. Nothing to see here. Move on.
He'll write a note in a boat, then they'll rip out his throat.
If only they'd had some of those magical No Guns window stickers like chuches in Illinois have.
If he's the supposed killer, where's his gun?
Exactly what we were thinking. If it comes out he used an "assault rifle", then we know we are off to the races.
For all we know, TPTB took a random shot from a video camera of someone coming into the church and are calling it the killer's photo.
If you want a good laugh (that will probably end up making you cry) read the comments under this article.
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/police-three-males-six-females-killed-charles...
We're so fucked.
wow. gun control, gun control, gun control. "bypass congress, executive action on gun control". Haven't even heard anyone ask what SSRI the guy was on, although I don't know why i expected anything else from people who comment on MSNBC. I read salon sometimes for entertainment, mainly the comments. Im sure the inevitable article on there will be more of the same thing, if not even worse.
I honestly don't know how the people who comment on MSNBC tie their own shoes, dress themselves or adequately clean themselves on a daily basis. Just unbridled degenerate ignorance. Those people are the reason I own firearms. They would vote to put the average ZHer in a death camp tomorrow. As I have said before.. the mad hatter's tea party has only just begun.
"I'm waiting for the crazy republicans that support the open carry law to say the church members should've had guns to protect themselves." -Numbian Times
Well what a really novel idea! eFFn Idiot, the guy had to reload 5 times! WTF? and they just Begged?????????????
Those of us with a CHL are authorized (actually encouraged) to carry in the office and in the plant where I work. Go TEXAS!
and no one went after him while he reloaded? uh, yeah. this stinks like Sandy Hook.
Kid looks more like Moe Howard's Son.
It's just a symptom of White Backlash - White Militants http://wp.me/p2kmGE-4Fz
The black kills tens of thousands of whites each year and even "Friendly" FOX just mehs and shows MOAR PIX of Kim Guilfoyle's cleavage...
Cue the nutcases in 5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1
More like "Cue the 'brand new' anti-gun legislation", or "Cue the Brady clowns".
thats exactly what I am worried about. I don't have enough 'play' money to buy the next gun I want, but Iam concerned about this. I know i can buy it right now, but I kinda worry that they might get cleaned out and ill have to wait awhile. I have zero credit card debt, but Im considering going up there and swiping it, and carrying a balance for maybe 2 months, even though thats against my rules of NEVER carrying a credit card balance....
Get a student loan and buy your gun with the proceeds. The loan will probably forgiven by the time you get the first bill.
Fucking car has license plates. Can't they just zoom in on the photos like I did? It was an out of state vanity plate named Bieber1.
Bieber did it! "He" is actually a female and is very, very confused.
Hey! Don't go hatin' on the Biebs, now, Bro!
No words to describe what a social and cultural mess your country is becoming.
Or, perhaps I should say, has always been.
Its what happens when the leader of the nation uses racial division to garner support and fiat.
If Oboma had adopted a son
Like that Norway bomber/mass shooting guy a while back?
I've read through Anders Behring Breivik's manifesto. It was largely nonsensical from a political or ideological point of view. This leads me to conclude that he was a psychopath in search of an excuse to simply murder as many people as he could, while getting as much attention for himself as possible. The fact that most of his victims were ethnic Norwegians, rather than people with a migrant background, seems to confirm this.
Contrast this single individual with the list of 19 separate, well-organized far right groups which Zero Hedge exposes here. These groups need to be declared illegal, as hate crimes should not fall under "free speech" under any circumstances. Fascism isn't an opinion, but a crime.
AH so he just killed a bunch of other people who looked more like him so it's OK.
I don't know anything about the 19 groups posted, except the splc called them hate groups.
That doesn't mean shit. They call everyone a hate group.
Its folks like you we gotta keep out of govt. I can tell you want to "make a law" to decide who hates. After a while, folks like you have every citizen designated as a hater.
If you're from scandinavia, go back.
If the SPLC is involved, then you know it's a set up. For fun, let's ask them how much money they've got stashed in offshore accounts.
Assets of $256 million at least

ZH didn't expose anything. He quoted an extreme left website (from your point of view they would be "moderate") because Tyler was apparently lazy this morning.
"These groups need to be declared illegal..." Fuck you and your left-wing extremist agenda.
Socialism isn't an option, but a crime.
A big part of your perception is because of our active media.
And POTUS.
Nothing that a little Communism wont fix.
That may be true, but it's not just in the US, that's for sure.
Eirik,
I'm very curious as to when you will come to the realization that your comments and opinions are neither appreciated nor solicited here on Zero Hedge. The scandanavian socialist utopia you reside in must surely have a website or blog you can comment on where your leftist, pie-in-the-sky bullshit has an audience.
Sincerely,
Utah_Get_Me_2
It's coming to your neck of the woods soon enough. The far-right is growing all over Europe and the collapse of the EU and Euro will only accelerate the trend.
From the beginning of time up until the 1960's it was understood that having 2 tribes inhabit the same territory was dangerous and foolish. Human nature dictates that tribes do not cooperate, but rather compete for territory and resources. You can use propaganda and a powerful central authority to make it appear as though tribes are cooperating, but it's just theatre in the end. All it takes is 1 crisis (food crisis, political crisis, etc) and the two tribes will start killing each other en masse. Yugoslavia, post-Saddam Iraq, Haiti, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, these places represent reality. Your multi-racial, multi-cultural Utopia exists only in your head.
Suspect looks Mulatto or Muslim .... white guys look like Donald Trump !
No, can't be. If guy has .01% white blood the festivities will begin. All media will be there to cover this 24/7. Sharpie will b flying in on private jet to counsel all the families.
BRACERO Amigos
Man, that was a fast "hate crime" designation.
They usually hem & haw and say they are investigating whether or not its a hate crime. You know, like when"youths" punch a random old, white person, and kill them. The cops take their time to suss out the motivation of the "youths".
This one? BAM! they got it! Wonder how that is.....
And yeah, to the guy above who said it looks like the lanza kid. Shouldn't be hard to identify the suspect with that hair.
Weird shit abounds these days.
I did not know the Three Stooges look is coming back....Hey Moe..Hey Moe
Guy looks like Adam Lanza.
Ever notice how much Jen Psaki looks like Adam Lanza? No connection, just how plastic and crazy they all look..
It's not the story, it's the presentation of the story that's bothering me.
They always look like Adam Lanza... This has all the hallmarks of a US Government Black Op (CIA)
Great, just great.
I regret the loss of lives and pray for them and there families. A church is sacred ground.
So,
Another idiot kills some blacks so now the gun controllers rear their ugly heads and the obligatory riots will begin.
I have no doubt the script will play out this way. Sad
"A church is sacred ground."
Only in fantasy movies about the Crusades/Middle Ages. No one actually cares about church buildings or land in real life.
A church is sacred ground...
I hate to break the news to you, most socialists are athiests.
It Always does....
Note to Good Honest American Citizens of all race/color: Get your Concealed Carry ready to go. Random acts of violence are about to spike over the next 30 days. Doesn't matter where you live. Unfortunately, cops everywhere are already on edge. Throw in a dollar collapse and,,,, ahh fuck it, i'm going to the gun range today.
Why bring up the 'shooting of an unarmed black man by a police officer?....Maybe the shooter just hates Christianity?
Stir up the Black Grievance Industry.
Or maybe he just got dumped by his black girlfriend who goes to this church? Always a rush to judgement in these cases.
Yeah. He had babes fighting over that stylish look. By the way, I have this bridge in Brooklyn that I need to sell fast. Interested? It is a money maker.
preacher at church is scandal plagued black politician neck deep in racist politics. is it still a hate crime if they hate you first?
someone shoulda been packin, especially in SC....
You can pack heat in a SC church, but you need the minister's permission.
This is how it should have went down: http://www.policeone.com/officer-shootings/articles/5468179-Church-murderer-killed-by-off-duty-officer-was-on-early-release/
I don't see how from those pictures the conclusion can be made that he's 'white', looks middle eastern to me.
Had to give the article a 1-dot: Poor.
I'm sorry for this awful tragedy, but who quotes the "Southern Poverty Law Center"?!? They are a caricature of themselves; a pseudo-legitimized, parasitic, Orwellian "Hate Group" that makes it's money sanctimoniously making hate lists and pointing fingers at those with whom they disagree.
Bad ZH! Bad, Bad ZH!!
Yea I'd agree SPLC is probably the leading hate group in the country.
Ahh yes, the prearranged patsy is disclosed to us.
Notice in the top left photo his face is intentionally obscured, not by hair, but a PhotoShop blob. Why would they do this? maybe the shooter will die in a shootout and his body will be disposed of before anyone has a chance to identify him. (Like the fictional Adam Lanza creation). Then the police/FBI can create whatever fictional narrative they like ... just like the other patsy-lone gunman shootings and non-shootings.
Notice in the second photo he does not have a left eye or ear. They have not decided yet what he will look like. The hair looks like a Photoshop hair blob. (can these guys be any more incompetent?)
How do we know it is a 'real' white guy, and not a transracial black guy pretending to be white? (a reverse Dolezal)
who's shocked by this? Blacks have been punching random whites, killing whites, pouring gas down their throat and setting them on fire, raping whites, pillaging whites, breaking into their homes and killing entire families while the lib press tries to brainwash us that it just the opposite...that it's whites doing all the killing hurting and maiming. Of course what this kid did is reprehensible, but if you really think it wasn'g going to happen you're kidding yourselves...
What if he identifies as black? Or even a black female? This was an awful tragedy and my heart goes out to all the victims of this hate crime, irregardless of the color of anyone's skin.
Just an observation: He looks like another Adam type from the Sandy Hoax incident.
you should keep your observations in middle earth where they belong. reality is not your forte.
Maybe the blacks should be even MOAR upset about how many cameras and camera angles there are that are tracking people coming and going to their church?
Has a staged look to it all.
pederast raped him he took revenge..so many so called reasons but racist is the box they place it in..
Turns out he was taking serotonin reuptake inhibitors, had a therapist who happened to do work for the military, doesn't remember the shooting. etc. etc.
Hey Moe!
Hey!
I haven't been to church in awhile, but do all churches these days come equipped with surveillance cameras?
Well, the lord cometh as a thief in the night - they just want a heads-up.
So I take it that "the lord" is so busy these days he needs cameras to catch & identify the bad guys &/or has farmed those duties out to local police forces &/or the SPLC whom have apparently joined the armies of do-gooders out there doing "God's Work".
Eight hate groups in Minnesota? They must be the most polite hate groups you ever did see.
I think the definition of a hate "group" can be 1 person living in their parents' basement.
he should have offed his barber first
Blame the police PhotoShop artist. That is not hair, nor is it a wig.
Cool that they got the car from 3 different angles focused on the parking lot. Someone should go out and check those camera placements before this is declared a hate crime (of course if the government murders those people to start a race war, that would be a hate crime ... just not white on black, but government on people). South Carolina does not require a front license plate. How convenient.
I don't want to beat a dead horse....but really now??? Quoting the Southern Poverty Law Center? Anyone with an ounce of conviction that doesn't agree with them is listed as a hate organization. SPLC is a hate group themselves.
