CHARLESTON SHOOTING SUSPECT HAD “MOUNTAIN OF LIFE ISSUES” AND “SIGNIFICANT DRUG PROBLEM”
|| By FITSNEWS || Three-and-a-half months before he allegedly murdered nine black churchgoers in cold blood, Dylann Storm Roof – the suspected perpetrator of the “Holy City Massacre” – was observed behaving erratically at a Columbia, S.C. mall.
Shop owners at Columbiana Centre – located in the northwestern suburbs of South Carolina’s capital city – noticed his abnormal behavior and called police.
The result? Roof’s arrest (.pdf here) for possession of Suboxone, a drug used to treat heroin addiction. Two months later, Roof was busted trespassing on private property – a charge which he is still facing, incidentally.
Sources close to the 21-year-old paint the picture of a deeply disturbed young man – one struggling to overcome serious substance abuse issues.
“He’s a troubled young man with a mountain of life issues and from what I can see he has a significant drug problem,” one source close to Roof told FITS, under condition of anonymity.
“The family is rough (around) the edges and (Roof’s father) has lived a hard life but he loves his kids,” the source added. “He just never knew what to do with Dylann. He didn’t know how to keep him out of trouble.”
Roof lived on-and-off in a Columbia, S.C. home owned by his father, however “he floats around too,” according to the source.
Here’s the location of the home …

And here’s a look at it from street level (it’s the one in yellow) …

“I’m not so sure he has any place he calls home because he is always in trouble with the law,” the source added, referring to Roof.
Roof’s father is not a racist, though, according to our source. And while he did buy his son a handgun on his most recent birthday, there’s nothing so far to suggest he had any intention of enabling the deadly carnage.
“His father isn’t that way at all,” the source said. “(He) is a big hippie and loves everyone.”
In fact multiple sources have confirmed to FITS that the home pictured above was frequently visited by both blacks and whites. That’s consistent with Roof’s Facebook page, which at the time of the shooting included both black and white friends.
Despite this, Roof is accused of entering the historic Mother Emanuel AME Church in downtown Charleston, S.C. at 8:00 p.m. EDT yesterday and asking for pastor (and S.C. Senator) Clementa Pinckney by name. At around 9:00 p.m. EDT – after sitting next to Pinckney during a Bible study/ prayer meeting for nearly an hour – Roof reportedly stood up and opened fire.
“I have to do it,” Roof allegedly said while reloading his weapon, according to the secondhand report. “You’re raping our women and taking over the country. You have to go.”
Roof did identify with the Confederate States of America – sporting a license plate on his car that bore the image of several Confederate flags. He also wore a jacket emblazoned with the apartheid-era flags of South Africa and Rhodesia (currently known as Zimbabwe).
UPDATE: Wow. Roof’s racist manifesto website has been discovered.

Did you have to show where his family lives????
That’s a scummy cheap shot……
Even the National Enquirer wouldn’t stoop so low for crying out loud!!!!!!
Shut the fuck up you sniveling pussy.
Is it something I said that made you shit your pants?????
Obviously you think it’s Ok to drag this turd’s family into this even if they might have nothing to do with this awful tragedy……
You must be a SC native – talk shit without thinking first……………
Kill yourself.
Only if you do it first!!!!!
ummm matthew? who you talkin to blood? fall back wit all that internet gangster bs, my man made some valid points if you don’t agree keep that negativity to yourself
You don’t know who you’re fuckin with. I’m a 216 pound black man. I work
as a security guard for a professional skater. I do carry guns, and I
have been trained to use them in the event of an emergency and have been
trained where to shoot to show self defense. I also have a 11 inch cock
that I’m gonna ram up your ass.
Yeah, I agree. The family has to carry the burden of the little shit already. Having their address from google-earth posted out there, with a nice description of the house – isn’t really necessary. Unless of course you want to post a street view of that cop that beat the little black girl in Texas – them maybe we’re getting close to fair.
FITS deleted what I posted about if his mother would approve of him doing this…………
So I’m kinda/sorta posting it again>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
i looked at the logs nobody deleted anything
not an admin at least! thanks!
Hey Karl, glad to see you on the board.
thanks!
What beating are you referring to?
It was kinda tacky, but it’s not like it’s hard-to-get info. Everybody has the intergoogles at their house these days, ya know…
Fitsnews just sliced his own throat doing that. Sad … very sad indeed. They will destroy Sic’s character for sure now in the lawsuit against Fits.
That’s a bit of a stretch, but was a sensationalist attempt. Truth is though, SC media will be parked out front soon enough. So…….
Doesn’t matter. If his father gets killed, Sic is in real serious trouble. Kenny Binghams people have already taken screen shots. It will used against him. Will has no concern for the security of his own family, it seems. He will loose his all for sure for pulling this bullshit.
He will “loose” what? What if he doesn;t own anything? Who will take anything?
Winning a civil suit in SC is tantamount to saying “you win”!
Question:
If the “crazy kid” really did submit ethics reports, than Bingham buried instead of going through proper legal motions….what recourse does Bingham have?
Again Tango;
This is all matters of public record, and aren’t germane to the Kenneth A Bingham VS. Fitsnews LLC lawsuit. Most people that had the information and ability to look it up who where curious already looked it up way before Fits posted it.
You don’t break the law supplying information that’s already available to the public.
You have access to Westlaw and/or Nexis Lexis? Courts have ruled many times against people like Fitsnews . Public record or not. Fits is hung.
Doubtful. But we all know you have a hard-on for Will so like I said in the previous post: Disappear back in to the hole you’ve been hiding in.
Hee hee – Quitus said hole to Grand Tango.
Odd that you would comment on the size of his man thing. Just how did you go about ascertaining that and why was it of intetest to you? Sounds like 9″ had you figured out from the beginning.
Now why would someone kill his father? If a family member of yours does something, are people going to come and kill you? This place is full of candy-ass retards sometimes.
Watch the news tonight, I bet there’s at least one news truck parked outside of his dad’s house right now.
Kenny’s law suit is a scare tactic – it will fail. Now back to the primary issue –
For doing what? Posting a street view photo from Google Maps?
Pick a person you knew 20 years ago but have not been in touch with since. Go to whitepages.com and enter their name. Pick the correct person, cut and paste their address into Google, go to maps and there you go, you now can look in their backyard and see what their house looks like. It’s not exactly fucking rocket science.
If he came from a rich family would you be bitching about them showing his how then too?
Abfuckingsolutely
What makes you think I would not?????
Father: “I just don’t know what to do about my son. He has mental issues, a drug problem, is a racist and has a clear disposition of breaking rules.”
Voice of reason: “Why don’t you get him a handgun.”
Father: “Good idea. What could go wrong?”
Maybe we can melt down Obama’s Peace prize and turn into a Father of the Year award for Roof Sr.
We’ll we’d melt down yours, but you don’t have one. In fact, we’d melt down your Father of the Year award, but that’s just cheap Chinese plastic.
lol
What? I have Chinese Father of the Year award? cool
Ohhh Dyrann you did it this time! You rack disiprine!

Yeah, in the absence of any common sense gun laws being passed, here’s an easy way to affect some change that parents can do – if your freakin’ kid is high troubled, has multiple run ins with the law, withdrawn, problematic – don’t, get, him or her, a freakin’ gun. Jesus H Christ – that ain’t too difficult is it? Here’s another one for my friends in North Charleston, Goose Creek and Moncks Corner – If you come home and find your 16-year-old son has gotten a gun – take it the frack away from him. Duh!!!!!! Then, beat his GD ass.
Well one way to look at it, his son is now no longer his problem to deal with.
Just like Adam Lanza’s mother.
Exactly!
“His father isn’t that way at all,” the source said. “(He) is a big hippie and loves everyone.”
You must be kidding, mystery source guy. Hippies who “love everyone” don’t buy their mentally fucked up, always in trouble with the cops, drug addicted, moody jackass kid a fucking handgun for his birthday. Jesus…what a great plan that was.
“Hippies who “love everyone” don’t buy their mentally fucked up, always in trouble with the cops, drug addicted, moody jackass kid a fucking handgun for his birthday. ”
Well, there are stupid hippies. In fact, they might have their own bell curve.
Now, now – most old hippies that I know are so tired from trekking around the world after The Grateful Dead that they are basically harmless . . .
+1
I agree with you on that one.
Enough bong hits you can rationalize anything.
Yay Michael! I upvoted you again – gulp!
“I upvoted you again – gulp!”
I’ll bet you like the taste of his man juice.
Just say it is from a dog and Pogo will clean it up lightning fast.
Hell! We’re practically dating now, no? I always get confused, though, between you and SCBlueWoman. One of you is the really angry GT wannabe and the other seems pretty normal. I hole you’re the normal one… ;-)
Oops – there goes that upvote down the drain! And you were doing so well, Michael! LOL
Actually while you and I have had our little dust-ups I actually agree with you more than I’d like to admit . . .
SCBlueWoman is probably the one that YOU would consider “normal” – she and I agree on most things but I do not put up with a lot of crap from the yo-yo’s on here – why should I?
Oh and as far as being angry – “they” just attack me over and over on here as I am a “liberal” and I just respond in kind and sometimes add a little dash of spice to it! Of course I have the stalkers like Daniel and Pogo and a couple of others – I find it all extremely funny!
I made a comment that YOU (read that carefully) responded to. I simply responded back, yet I’m the stalker. Gotcha. Not to mention I haven’t even been involved in this thread (until now, of course) yet you decided to put my name in your mouth. Please keep my name out of your mouth. Or off your fingers, whichever way you want to look at it. Thank you.
Everybody is a stalker to a liberal if you disagree with their opinions. That is how they eliminate the flow of information and free speech.
Damn…I blew it that quickly! I suck at online dating.
All good, though. You’re just a bit of a screamer…not always a bad thing. At least I finally have you two straight now! ;-)
Hey, I upvoted you too. We do agree sometimes. I’m far from an angry person and I’m certainly not a fat pig.
Hey now…I never went all “fat pig.” That was somebody else! I knew one of you two was the nice one…
“straight now”
Uh…you made an error.
Haaaaaa…I see what ya did there…
I bet she’s a fat pig who does nothing but stay at home and comment on blogs… kind of a female GrandTango, but likely has more cats.
Just proves you don’t have to be a valedictorian to be the father of a a hippie or a hippie for that matter.
In fact if you purchase a gun for someone who is not eligible to by one himself, then you have committed a felony. The piece of shit dad should be in jail.
Maybe so.However in my opinion FitsNews should NOT have gone after the family like this.The posting of the house is absurd.
New information is coming out about the killers racist views-videos and wanting to start a race war.
If this is true, WHY would FitsNews do this to the dad and mother? in my opinion their lives are worthless if they stay.

Post content: Troll bait and irrelevant
How about we post photos of YOUR home and list the street YOU live on? Bad judgment to post photos of the house and the street the shooters dad. Very bad, indeed. This will go against you in the Kenny lawsuit.
Hi Tango, we don’t miss you!.
Anyway this is all matters of public record, and aren’t germane to the Kenneth A Bingham VS. Fitsnews LLC lawsuit. Most people that had the information and ability to look it up who where curious already looked it up way before Fits posted it.
Seriously. No one misses GrandTango even in the slightest. Now if only that troll Pogo would crawl into whatever hole he did…
Kenny told me to stay.
You are as fucking dumb as that ‘narc’ SYNTwist.
I’ll take that as a compliment since in your world logic doesn’t apply. Are you sure she’s a NARC? If she is maybe she works for a different group.
Nobody cares what FITS’ house looks like bc no one who lives there went to a church and killed a bunch of innocent pp!
Sounds like the father has a “Turn On, Tune Out” 60’s-era mentality.
Those who have embraced drugs as a virtue, never account for the level of evil they are responsible for.
Steady there GT – attacking the father could have you invited to your own “slander party.”
Done stalking Taylor today? I bet your daughters are proud?
Taylor is a fine catch. And I would view her as only a friend. Your man-love for Flip though – that’s really creepy.
The description of “hippie” does imply drug use which would account for poor judgment in buying his incorrigible son a gun. More reason than ever to fight weed legalization.
Now Princess Mom – Let’s not go overboard with the week legalization bit – heroin addiction and smoking weed are a bit different – and let’s not do the “gateway thingie” either – but I do hope that Her Royal Highness is well today! Shine on!
Love you Darlin’. I’m just saying if the hippie father is old enough to have a 21 yr old son, he’s probably been smoking weed for decades which does indeed damage the brain’s thought process.
“Significant drug problem” is one of his many issues. The brains of young men are not fully formed until age 25. Making drugs legal and more accessible to this demographic will surely create more drug induced brain damaged wackos.
Hi Princess Mom!
Hi little blue girl! Thanks for remembering that I identify with being a royal even though I was born a commoner. Did you curtsy for me?
I’ve posted in the past (with tongue in cheek) that males between the ages of 15 – 30 be fitted with shock collars. And have seriously posted about the bell curve of Middle East males 15-40 years of age population rising till around 2030 and is one of the main reasons for all the killing in the Middle East today (young males with not much to do and a shortage of female “loving” in a closed society).
So many examples of young males (mostly Caucasian) killing en mass with no feeling of guilt or forethought.
I think your sources are shining you on.
Seem’s a little odd to see people worrying about the family’s safety yet have no trouble indicting an entire race, political party, religion, state, or an inanimate object.
+ a Googleplex
Despite no outward indications of racism (other than sporting a pair of pro-apartheid African flags on his jacket)… Are you serious? Are you not reading the same reports that we are about this asshole.
First you’ll say he’s mentally ill, then it will be his drug addiction, then it’s going to be that he was a product of South Carolina public schools.
Maybe he is, in fact, a racist piece of shit that hates black people. Period.
Isn’t the 3rd patch a high school honors society patch? Just shows you what kind of education you get in this fucked up state.
Sometimes when you dig deep, you discover some contradictions to the usual assumptions. In no way am I trying to make excuses, I think he deserves the death penalty if found guilty. With some criminals, when you try to unravel the complications that leads to a motive you are left unfulfilled.
I think he is mentally sick, but not sick enough to avoid the death penalty if found guilty.
And on a lighter note, that haircut makes his head look like a circumcised penis.
Here’s what to do about his piece of shit son: gas chamber.
Just watch what is going on in the world. You can bet this young man got most of his information from the internet or belonged to a hate group.If you keep up with the news and do a lot of research you will see where he is coming from.. The News Media,along with Jackson,Sharpton,NAACP and especially the Democrat Party has divided America and Preach all kind of hatred for White people. I follow this crap daily on the internet and you can believe more is coming. Some of these young whites may not sit back and take this Hatred for Whites that is being preached. Deny it it at your own peril.
Of course there are hate groups that teach all kinds of hatred for Whites. Why are you following this “crap” daily?
“I’m not so sure he has any place he calls
home because he is always in trouble with the law,” the source added,
referring to Roof.”
Well, does ‘the source’ consider two relatively piddly arrests ever to signify ‘always in trouble with the law’?
Sounds like ‘the source’ don’t know diddly or is intentionally misleading.
I wonder if he had a lengthy and sealed Juvenile record.
He’s 21. That would still mean nothing since 17.
5 years with no record is a long time to go, particularly when he’s had 2 arrests in 2 months this year.
Hmmm? Hippies and handguns are not two things known to go together.
“He just never knew what to do with Dylann. He didn’t know how to keep him out of trouble.”
How about not giving him a gun?
That’s a good start. He probably could have used a good friend like you to advise him.
The problem wasn’t that he gave him a gun – the problem is he didn’t give him enough guns.
That’s just crazy talk…
How long before we find out what psychotropic drug he was being prescribed?
Enlarge the surveillance photo here and tell me what Dyllan is wearing that’s hanging in front of his junk. Is there something else under his sweatshirt:

Lexington County schooling, fan of apartheid South Africa and white supremacy Rhodesia and the Confederacy, wants to shoot black people, and then has to save America from black people, and is armed . . . by his family.
I see nothing at all inconsistent.
Exactly, probably describes 25% of the rednecks in this state.
Black people attending services in an historic black church, that was heavily involved in the Civil Rights movement, are killed by a white racist; and all the wingnuts and secret racists can do is try to come up with some other excuse.
He was on drugs, his father was crazy, his father was a hippie, mental illness. blah blah blah Get over it. He is a racist. His father is almost certainly a racist.too. He killed black people because he hates black people. There are a lot of people like him. They just know better than to act out their fantasies.
At least the wingnuts got over the, this was an attack on Christians nonsense.
I actually think the violence by blacks in Ferguson and Baltimore was worse.Look how many people lost businesses and jobs.Millions of $’s lost in the local economies by white folks.The deaths are tragic however Rev.Wright once said ‘the chickens have come home to roost’?
“He is a racist. His father is almost certainly a racist.too.”
And why Fits should not have ‘outed’ this family in such a PERSONAL way. In my opinion the dads life is worthless now.
Prayers for peace.
Well now that you put it that way, I get your point. I mean at the going rate per head for black people these days, the loss of these people was not nearly enough to compensate for millions of dollars in job losses. Especially if white people lost jobs.
Boy, I wish Fits could publish your name and address. Now that would be a public service.
Why can’t he?
I actually think the violence by blacks in Ferguson and Baltimore was worse.

of course you do.. they’re black.

Rain spattered across the sand, causing a deafening roar, like that of a hundred semis crashing into each other in apocalyptic glory. The crack of thunder split the insanity, and wind swept it up into a cacophony of natural horror. All the while Will sat glumly, shielding himself from the gale beneath a rather large tree. He was soaked to the bone and miserable. Lost in Kanto, with no map, no food, and no company other than his beloved photo of Nikki Haley. He was sure he’d die of hypothermia or worse.
lexington is just too small for a county and to fukin large for an insane asylum
99 times out of 100 I support FITS News–but this is a real dick thing to do.
Oh, I thought the headline was Meet Grand Tango and Pogo, two men in the same body.
The shooters roommate has said that the gun was purchased with MONEY his father gave him for his birthday. It sounds like the media got it twisted again.
Someone please tell our intellectual midget of a Governor to shut the fuck up about the boy’s guilt. She’s doing better for him than any defence attorney.
Thanks Ken Kesey, for getting all the state mental hospitals shut down. It is well past time for our government to provide safe, humane containment for our local crazies. How is having them homeless and self medicated working out? No need to worry about them being armed if they are locked up. The insurance company owned healthcare system is certainly never going to handle it.
