The news was shocking last week. Nine people murdered in a historic black church while at prayer service. I was very happy when he was caught and definitely hope he is executed for the horror he caused. I will not mention his name, as people like that should receive no notoriety for their foul deeds. Just as I have never used the name of the person who murdered the five students at Northern Illinois University.
And, he felt that he was required ti kill them. That he had to do the deed.
I can't help but think about another misguided, deluded person who committed a similar act 150 years ago when he murdered President Lincoln. Like that person, the Charleston man could not have done more to hurt the South and its Confederate legacy.
Reconstruction and the return to the Union would have been a lot easier process under Lincoln who could control the Black Republicans who wanted large scale punishment and retribution.
Now, there is a huge upswell in demands for the removal of the Confederate flag from everywhere. As if the Confederacy wasn't under attack enough already.
A Horrible Thing, Indeed.
