The Families Of The 9 African-American Christians Killed In South Carolina Church Shooting By Dylann Roof Reach $88 Million Settlement With The U.S. Justice Department

October 28. 2021

Dylann Roof is a white supremacist and satanist who was arrested for the shooting death of nine African-Americans

This is a follow up to yesterday's article "New Photo Released From The Set Of Alec Baldwin Movie Set 'Rust' After The Shooting Death Of Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins" in which I stated, "The new photo reveals Baldwin's character with the weapon in a church. I still don't understand Hollywood's sacrilegious obsession with engaging in violence and gunfire in church scenes, as seen in other despicably violent films such as the criminal copyright infringing "Kingsman." It also gives hateful people ideas to do the same.

Survivors of the attack are glad to resolve the lawsuit, according to local attorney Andy Savage, who represents some members of the group...
