BREAKING: Dylann Roof sentenced to death for killing nine people at Charleston’s historic AME Church.
— NPR (@NPR) January 10, 2017
I don't support the death penalty in any case, so I'm reporting this with regret, even though I loathe what Dylann Roof did with the fiery passion of ten thousand suns.
I suspect that there may be survivors of his victims who also do not support the death penalty in any case, and thus may be further grieved and/or traumatized by this verdict. I am thinking about them, with my sympathies. I am thinking of all the other survivors of his victims, too, and I wish them peace, which I'm sure will not come easy, if ever.
