I got back in time to read all the reactions of Conservatives pretending that deadly attacks on black churches are not a time honored tradition in the Old South.
- The worst comment was from Rick Perry who refused to describe the shooting as a shooting or an attack because that might demean the nobility of the gun used in the murders. Perry calls it an "accident," like the killer was blameless.
- Lindsey Graham ignores the racism motive that the killer claims and pretends the motive was an attack on Christianity.
- For comic relief we have that clown Eric Erickson who puts the blame squarely on Caitlyn Jenner.
- Several people expressed the opinion that the victims were to blame because they were not carrying firearms to Bible study.
- The NRA singled out one victim, state Senator Clementa Pinckney, as deserving his fate because he had opposed legislation allowing guns in churches.

All this is making me want to go back to some island, maybe this time even one without WiFi.

Sounds like you caught up with everything quickly. You also summarized the stupid reactions to the tragedy very concisely. It would all be unbelievable if it didn't happen every few months...

"Feminism helped to get them there. In particular, female teachers who either dislike men or are completely ignorant of healthy behaviour norms for boys are creating a generation of emotionally stunted, drugged up young men."
