CPD Wanted Poster http://i.imgur.com/HmAIA46.jpg

[–]DineLointHarpie 659ポイント660ポイント  (182子コメント)

I get the feeling they have no idea where this guy is. The police chief said they'll definitely be putting out reward info tomorrow.

[–]Rawrmonger 684ポイント685ポイント  (149子コメント)

They fucking don't. CPD is pretty incompetent, and nothing like this has ever happened here before. There are helicopters flying around my house, and I'm on the opposite end of the city. I just drove over the bridge and back. I saw no cops, no checkpoints...It's a goddamn Peninsula not many ways to get out. This dude is long gone. Unless there were decent cameras in that church he will never be caught.

[–]zeeginganinja 282ポイント283ポイント  (85子コメント)

I was thinking that too. Block the connector, the ravenel, and the 17 bridge and get the coast guard to lookout for boats. Block off everything trying to go north of the strip clubs. Its not too hard of an area to keep in check, especially at night on a Wednesday.

[–]Dildo_Gagginss 184ポイント185ポイント  (60子コメント)

Its probably too late for that now. If checkpoints at those places you mentioned had been set up immediately following the shooting, he may have been caught by now. But for all we know he booked it and could already be as far out as columbia.

Shouldn't the FBI be involved if it's a state senator killed?

[–]YouVersusTheSea 74ポイント75ポイント  (8子コメント)

The FBI is already involved. The first report I saw of their involvement came about 3.5 hours ago, right after the tweets about the suspect calling the police station with a bomb threat started popping up on Twitter. Once the threat was made, they apparently declared this an act of domestic terrorism and were on the scene before the mainstream cable media even flashed a headline.

This was before reports of the senator even being present at the time had come out yet but after the point where the suspect's description had been well circulated online. If we combine the fact that (1) it was a shooting at a church (potential for religion-based hate crime) with (2) it was a white shooter and several black victims (potential race-based hate crime) and (3) the senator was a minister there (even had he not been present, still could've been politically motivated attack), I'd say it's pretty safe to assume the FBI was on the scene before the bomb threat had even been called in yet.

[–]Dildo_Gagginss 181ポイント182ポイント  (36子コメント)

The FBI is involved because it could be considered a hate crime (the church where the shooting took place was predominately black). It isn't too reassuring though.

[–]Krewmen 110ポイント111ポイント  (17子コメント)

They'll be involved with something this high profile regardless, whether they have a reason to or not.

[–]CursedLlama 39ポイント40ポイント  (12子コメント)

Is there really no reason for the FBI to be involved in something like this, even if it had been low profile? 9 people are dead, I wouldn't mind some help from the most advanced investigators in the country.

[–]GeneralBS 58ポイント59ポイント  (3子コメント)

Anytime there is a crime involved in this magnitude the FBI would either take over the investigation or at least aid with all resources available.

[–]CursedLlama 15ポイント16ポイント  (1子コメント)

Right, I think that's a good thing. It seemed like the original guy I replied to was implying that sometimes there's no reason for them to help.

              You're nuts. It's nearly impossible. Speaking as someone who has performed such excercises dozens of times, it almost never actually works.

              Especially when the description is: blonde dude without a beard and wearing a grey hoodie.

              Not a chance.

              [–]bythog 32ポイント33ポイント  (4子コメント)

              blonde dude without a beard and wearing a grey hoodie.

              That describes 60% of white males under the age of 40 in Charleston. Hell, that's like 95% of Citadel cadets. It's gonna be a tough one for CPD.

                  Once the pieces start coming together for something this high profile he will be caught or we will at least know who he is. I'm not saying it will happen right away, but we'll find out who he is eventually at least.

                  [–]nogods_nokings 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

                  law enforcement has had a really difficult time finding those two escapees in NY (i think they've been out 13 days or something), and their identities are absolutely known. being captured isn't inevitable, but i think you're right that we'll find out who he is. honestly i just really want to know why he'd go shoot up a church.

                        Report is that state senator Clementa Pinckney, pastor at the church, is among the dead.

                        Is the fact that he is a senator potentially part of a motive? Don't know anything about him or his views

                        [–]the_Synapps 74ポイント75ポイント  (21子コメント)

                        Its possible, though doubtful as he isn't all that well known outside of his district. I follow state politics quite closely and have never heard of him.

                        [–]shapu 119ポイント120ポイント  (85子コメント)

                        Possible. Could be race, politics, sex, or random. At this point casting about for ideas is as effective as trying to snatch smoke.

                        Edit: or religion. I was tired, dammit.

                        [–]InvalidUsernameAgain 235ポイント236ポイント  (75子コメント)

                        Well it was the anniversary of the Vesey Revolt and the shooter chose a very famous historically black church. Is it really that wild to speculate race played a part?

                              Summary of Press Conference with Mayor Joe Riley and Charleston PD Chief Greg Mullins:

                              • 9 Dead at Mother Emanuel Baptist
                              • More injured, number not revealed
                              • Suspect still on the run, call 911 if you have any info on his location
                              • Description: White Male in his Early 20s; sandy blonde hair; slender build; clean shaven; wearing timberland style boots, jeans, and a grey hoodie.
                              • No confirmation on whether State Senator Rev. Clementa Pinckney
                              • Chief Mullins - "This is a hate crime."
                              • No discussion about the active investigation, including whether "the photographer" is still in custody. He was released shortly after he was marched in front of the cameras.

                              Other Relevant Information

                              • Prayer Service tomorrow at Noon, location unclear. Rev. Al Sharpton expected to attend.
                              • Former FL Governor Jeb Bush has cancelled his planned visit to Charleston tomorrow.
                              • Local NBC affiliate confirming State Senator Clementa Pinckney was killed in the church he pastored.
                              • Next Press Conference at 3am. Probably won't be up for it, but I expect official confirmation of the State Senator's death at that time.
                              • Suspect Description has been updated and made prominent. See the top of this comment and call 911 with any information about the suspect.
                              • Bomb threat still active, the media is being moved further up the street from their current location for safety reasons. Maybe not, all the streams seem to be playing replays from a couple of hours ago.
                              • No 3am Press Conference, next one will be at 7am. I'll be asleep but will update here when I wake up.

                              Edits: Added Description of suspect

                              Reformatted to use for future updates. Not expecting much more news tonight, will update with what I imagine will be a flood of information when I wake up (pretty late) in the morning.

                              Not going to keep a log of my edits anymore, any new info will be at the bottom of the post, sectioned off as best I can.

                              That description is so vague. I mean I get that they don't have more but I match that description right now, and I'm sure many do.

                              [–]the_Synapps 49ポイント50ポイント  (2子コメント)

                              It would also describe a good number of males in that area, the church is very close to the College of Charleston.

                              Officer, Dave Chappelle couldn’t have done that. I saw him in his window masturbating from 2:35 to 2:37. I’m certain of it. He was standing on a clock and holding a calendar and today’s paper.

                                    I live in the lock down zone. Police in riot gear just searched my back yard. They're methodically working their way down the street.

                                    Lock your doors and windows. It has to be unnerving knowing this person hasn't been caught and could still be in the area.

                                    Why do you think he is still anywhere near Charleston? What's to say he didn't shoot up the church run and say turn a corner and just start walking, hop in a car and just drive off nonchalantly? I would guess there were many cars driving around right after it happened that didn't get stopped and checked.

                                    [–]DineLointHarpie 239ポイント240ポイント  (17子コメント)

                                    Honestly, I think you've painted a scenario that is entirely plausible. But I'd still be nervous if I lived closeby.

                                                Yes because wikipedia can't be wrong. Earlier in the NBA finals I learned LeBron James was the owner of the Bulls.

                                                      He just fucked his career up. he'll be gone. reporters and shit love disasters and terrible shit happening. gets their face all over the world, doors open. If they are popular and become synonymous with what happened they can get books deals and shit. A disaster is just a possible promotion for a reporter.

                                                                          Wouldn't it be a disservice to people that live in that area to not be fully aware of potential dangers?

                                                                          And if the locals had to rely on other means of communication for said events, wouldn't that lead them to getting less reliable information and being more prone to crazy conspiracy theories?

It always seems like this sort of thing happens in other places, someone else's world. But its here in my backyard and its such a helpless feeling. The fact children were involved makes this even worse.

                                                                                          I got everything from the internet and my grandparents in Europe. They heard it on the radio before me....that was super strange.

                                                                                                      no they moved on, now they're looking for those two who who broke out of that prison in NY.. they've been non-stop on that story for so long they are running out of things to speculate on.

                                                                                                      I'm waiting for them to somehow link the prison escape to the missing flight MH370..

Could this have occured during some sort of meeting? Maybe an AA meeting or something that has no relation to the actual church and it's members?

                                                                                                                  Edit: AA is not an African American meeting. It is an Alcholics Anon meeting. How someone did not know that amazes me.

I guess creating a market demand made it viable to raise herds of them or something.

Were the people killed black?

The church targeted is locally famous. It is one of the first historically black churches in South Carolina. This was normal, at the time, due to segregation. In 1822, a pastor of the church, Denmark Vesey, conspired with over a thousand slaves in the local area to revolt against Charleston's local government. It was found out and he and many others were arrested... in early June. He and 35 others were hung, and the church was burned to the ground. It was rebuilt by his son years later.

                                                                                                                                    You have to remember, the 1800s inform a lot of public discourse in the south. Charleston is still undeniably racist in aspects. Local history talks about the Vesey Conspiracy at length. The gunman targeted the pastor and congregation of the church that has an essential connection to this region's history- essentially mirroring Vesey's death, as he was a minister of that same church.

                                                                                                                                    [–]Hilde_In_The_Hot_Box 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

The church where it occurred is famous for being one of America's oldest predominately black churches and in the time of American slavery one of the nation's largest slave revolts was organized by it's pastor.

                                                                                                                                    Its possible, but it would be oddly coincidental that he chose this church and harbors no racism or hate towards black people.

These people ate dinner with their families and went to church - a place where they're supposed to feel safe, be with their family/friends, worship and find comfort and peace. They were doing all the right things, and yet they still became the victims of a homicidal maniac for no other reason than that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. It could happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

                                                                                                                                      When stories like this come up, it makes me stop and think about how fragile our worlds really are and how easily it could come crashing down with little to no warning, even if you're doing all the right things. Sometimes, the only thing separating life from death is a simple, innocuous decision - like going to church on the night of June 17, 2015.

                                                                                                                                      Just goes to show you that you should never take life or the people around you for granted. Always be thankful of what you have and that the people who mean something to you are still here. Cheesy, I know, but you never know if tomorrow's going to be the last day of your (or a loved one's) life and if what you just had for lunch or dinner is going to be your last meal. These poor people certainly didn't.

The whole thing is unbelievable but being this close, and now living in an area with a probable spike of racial tension is depressing

Hair is the most easily changable feature on a person--I wouldn't count on it being the same as it was in the video released.

Looks like a logo, maybe where he works? Also, wtf is up with his nose? Looks like he has tape over it. And who the fuck still has a bowl cut.... ?

Pleasant and I listened to the local radio broadcasts. A lot of people sound defeated. Even the local weatherman giving his report clearly did not want to be on the air. This is not us. This does not represent my city. This coward is not indicative of how the majority feels. It is, however, a demonstration of views that are still alive and held by ignorant, evil people. I was almost to the bridge when I saw four cop cars on the side of the road with a tall lanky guy in handcuffs. It seemed obvious to me that this was not the shooter, but I am glad the police are not taking anything lightly and it seems as they will be following up on any lead right now. While this community has a horrible history with racism, I feel that most people have learned from it and we are very sensitive to it. We have been quick to hold two killer cops responsible for shooting two black men. We have open dialogues about racism in our communities. But there are people who still say, "heritage, not hate" when wanting to fly the rebel flag... In 2015. We still bare the scars of the past and are constantly reminded of it from outlets both in and outside of the Charleston area. This is just one more reminder that 1) racism is not dead and 2) hateful people are abundant in every community. I'm sorry for ranting but this is sickening. I fooled myself into thinking we Charlestonians were better than this. I am praying for the families of these victims and encourage you to do the same.
