DYLANN STORM ROOF: WHITE SUPREMACIST PAGAN CULTIST
WHITE SUPREMACIST PAGAN CULTIST
Mass murderer, Dylann Storm Roof, purposefully bypassed any number of churches, temples or mosques, of various ethnicities in his native Columbia and all others of any creed, sect, or faith, in-between himself and his chosen sacrificial target, Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
So. Black churches in general were not the target. Neither were black parishioners generally targeted. Rather, that one church specifically was his focus.
Presumably, that historic, chosen black church's symbolic status inexplicably attracted Dylann Roof, there being at this point, no other known nexus between Roof and that murder scene than that.
Certain symbols such as occult amulets and talismans have magical status in pagan minds and cults. The Confederate license plate on Roof's car, and the former Rhodesian and South African flags worn on his vest on his FB profile were such magical symbols to him, apparently.
They speak silently to others of like mind, just as do the Nazi swastika, hangman's nooses, hooded heads,burning crosses.
That Dylann Storm Roof is a pagan white supremacist cultist is made very clear from his brazen, murderous conduct against black Christians during their Bible study, as it is from his chosen amulets and talismanic symbols that have publicly adorned him.
