Dylann Roof Genaro Patterson

Dylann Roof was born to kill. He was a loner with no real friends. He attended seven schools in a period of nine years. He went through life being invisible; no one acknowledged him or took him seriously. He refused to work and had no idea what he wanted to be in life. Nobody had a clue who Dylann Roof was, and that irked him. Determined to change, he desperately wanted to be somebody and didn't care how he had to do it. He wanted notoriety and attention, and he became obsessed with it. Triggered by the publicity of the Trayvon Martin case, he went on the internet searching "black-on-white crime," and he instantly became a racist. Within weeks he decided he would commit a mass murder of black people. He devoted every second figuring out what he would do and how. He became a white supremacist overnight and chatted online with other white hate groups. For a weird, uneducated dropout, he masterminded the perfect mass murders of nine defenseless black people. Dylann Roof was evil - pure evil - but none of that mattered to him. The only thing that mattered was that he would go down in Charleston, South Carolina history as the perpetrator of the most vicious hate crime in the twenty-first century, and the world would know his name.
