Dylann Storm Roof should be tried as a terrorist. He has committed an act of domestic terrorism against 9 innocent American Citizens and we can no longer hide behind injustice and only blame Muslims for terrorism. Dylann Storm Roof walked into Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church with thought and purpose executed 9 citizens. Mr. Roof committed the same crime as the Kouachi brothers and one of them walked into Charlie Hebdos office and executed 12 citizens, as well as the Tsarnaev brothers who were responsible for the Boston Marathon bombing that killed 3 citizens. All were called terrorists, one was charged and tried as a terrorist. The only difference is that the brothers were all Muslim, and Dylann is a white Christian extremist. The United States can not have a double standard for domestic terrorism, and use that standard to prosecute only Muslims as terrorist. Injustice hurts and affects us all. We call on South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson and Charleston, South Carolina District Attorney Scarlett A. Wilson to do the right thing in the name of justice, the country and most importantly the victims of this tragedy and charge and try Dylann Strom Roof as a domestic terrorist. American justice must apply to every American Citizen.

I am currently drafting a formal letter to the offices of Attorney General Alan Wilson and District Attorney Scarlett A. Wilson outlining the legal parallels between this case and previous terrorism prosecutions. I expect to receive a response regarding their current strategy for the charges and will provide a summary of their position once I have a formal reply.

If he speaks like a domestic terrorist, hates like a domestic terrorist and shots like a domestic terrorist then he's a domestic terrorist.

I think this man should be tried as a terrorist but not executed. If he is executed, that will serve as a recruitment tool for future white supremacists

Our anti-terrorism laws have reached a state of Orwellian fascism and must be destroyed, true ("eco-terrorist" prosecutions of the Earth Liberation Front, anyone?), but if this man wasn't a white supremacist there is no way he would not be facing terrorism charges for what he pulled.

Dylann Roofs actions were racially motivated against not only a specific race of individuals but also against innocent American citizens and was an act of domestic terrorism and he should be tried as a terrorist.

This man is a terrorist, same as was the Boston Marathon bomber. He should be tried accordingly.
