Common Dreams reports
In a much-hailed, if modestly problematic, act of righteous revenge, [on Thursday August 4,] an African-American inmate allegedly sucker-punched [...] Dylann Roof--an act that sparked much online praise for the "vigilante hero", a fundraiser for donations to his commissary account, and, finally, the posting of his $100,000 bond by a supporter.
Roof is in protective custody at the Charleston County Detention Center for killing nine African-American churchgoers in South Carolina in 2015. He was in the shower when Dwayne Stafford, a 26-year-old inmate reportedly doing time for either weed violations or strong arm burglary, allegedly got out of his cell, reached Roof, and landed a couple of punches to his face. The sheriff said Roof was attacked "for no reason", which many would argue was less than accurate.
Roof suffered only minor injuries, and his lawyer declined to press charges.
[...] The next day, 18 months after he'd originally been arrested, an anonymous supporter posted [Stafford's] bond, and on Friday he was reportedly freed.
I find that heavy.com typically has the facts quickly on violent crimes.

Dude. You are talking about an asshole who went into a church, sat through a bible study and then committed mass murder. And the asshole says he did it because they were black. If that isn't racism I really don't want to hear your definition. If some black dude then punches him in the face in prison I really can't muster a fuck to give ya. Asshole bought that whuppin' fair and square.
Come back later when BLM has done something stupid/evil/racist, again, and we can discuss the politically correct bullshit you are on about. Mass murder is in a slightly different category than precious snowflakes being triggered.

Wow, never thought I'd mod up jmorris, especially not for saying that a racist piece of shit had it coming and deserved it.
And for the record, the idea that "Only whites can be racist" is super fucking racist. Anybody and everybody can be racist, but at the moment whites are the only ones passing laws to oppress non-whites.

I modded him up too. Credit where credit is due; even Hitler wasn't 100% wrong about everything, else he'd have choked on his cereal at age 3. J-Mo is like a stuck clock; once in a while, he'll get it right, if even only for a second at a time. He kind of shat all over it with the latter half of his post of course, but then, he wouldn't be J-Mo if he didn't :/
