Roof was not in general population. He is in protective custody.
It was not immediately clear how Stafford was able to get out of his cell, through a steel door, and down a flight of stairs to the shower room while Roof was there.
Under protective custody protocol, jail guards are supposed to lock all of the other inmates in their cells before allowing Roof out to shower to or to use the rec room.
At least two guards are supposed to watch Roof any time he’s out of his cell, but during the attack, one was taking a break and the other was delivering toilet paper to an inmate, Cannon said.
Sounds to me like the cops were the ones who decided that Roof needed some extra justice dispensed on his behalf and looked the other way for a couple of minutes.
His bail was set so high for a reason. He would not have been able to post it had all these idiots not given him all this money.
In the same sense Roof himself is not in jail for murder.No, he will not be "in for robbery and assault" until he is convicted of robbery and assault. He was in jail because he was accused of robbery and assault.
Many things go into setting a bail amount but the inmate getting $100,000 as a reward for beating up another inmate is not an eventuality foreseen by . Should that money not be confiscated anyway as it is basically payment for committing a crime?If the accused is the kind of person that we don't want released on bail, then we don't set a bail amount. You may notice that in many cases even accused rapists and murderers are released on bail. The bail amount is usually set based upon the likelihood of the accused to return for trial.
They don't care that he is a robber and violent criminal. After all, Michael Brown is one of their heroes, together with drug dealer Freddie Gray or robber and stabber Mario Woods.Given that you were incorrect about the "that", yeah they probably don't care.
I have no desire to "beat up a black guy". I was merely pointing out the racist hypocrisy of these people.I heard Donald Trump will pay your bail if you beat up a black guy at one of his rallies. Maybe you should go test that theory out.
I don't "freak out" but I do comment on when black criminals suddenly become heroes among left wing radicals.And we all know how you love to freak out every time you see a picture of a black person that does not carry some kind of derogatory statement along with it. Both of these things have about the same relevance when it comes to assigning and posting bail.
It is curious. Lots of people are fine with black "thugs" being executed or killed or beaten by the police without even an arrest. But when a white "thug" gets beaten in custody, it is a scandal.I was pondering this case recently and the thought occurred to me. Conservatives love the idea of people being beaten and raped in prison. It is a sort of 'revenge' aspect for people committing crimes and then having to serve time. Here is the problem, one white guy who slaughtered several blacks suffers a beating in prison, and all of a sudden violence in prison is an issue.
Now why would that become a concern at all for someone that had no issue with violence in prison? I didn't really make the connection until being on a board with some far-right whackos, where they also brought up the case.
Why would it bother them that a person in prison was beaten? A white person that slaughtered several black people.
Oh... yeah, I guess they almost have to be racists to get from Point A to Point B.
No! Not a "white 'thug'". The guy is a white mass murderer. Michael Brown may not have been a nice person, and could be considered acting "thugish", but he sure the fuck didn't slaughter several people... that took him in at church.It is curious.

I think Roof is guilty. He still doesn't deserve to be beaten up in jail. And the guy who rewarded him does not deserve to be monetarily rewarded for it.So, to be clear, you're saying that you are not sure that Dylann Roof was guilty ("suspect") but the black guy who allegedly beat him up is guilty. You're not fooling anyone.
But I am here talking to people who relish in George Zimmerman, who was found not guilty, being punched in the face. So you are not fooling anyone.
How many times has Derec complained about prison violence? It seems so odd to give a fuck all of a sudden when a mass murderer gets roughed up.
Oh, the assailant is black and his victim white.
Inmate Rewarded With Release After Beating Charleston Massacre Suspect Dylann Roof
Even somebody accused of a heinous crime deserves protections of the law and assault and battery should not be rewarded. The fact that he committed another violent crime while in lockup should have resulted in bail being revoked or at the very least increased. But because he committed a politically correct crime he actually gets rewarded for it. I wonder if George Soros put up any of the bail money though.

Had Roof resisted arrest violently and made the arresting officer fear for his life it would have been ok to shoot him (shooting a dangerous suspect is very different than an "execution".)White mass murderers are entitled to full protection under the law. Black thugs should be executed immediately if they "resist arrest".
How many times has it come up before? I certainly have never advocated it. Funny how so-called liberals are fine with prison violence in this case.How many times has Derec complained about prison violence?
Tamir Rice was not dangerous. Philandro Castile was not dangerous. Yet you (and the other kneejerk apologists for the police) defended the police. And in this case, you focus on the perp instead of the prison guards who were supposed to keep Roof protected. A truly fascinating study in hypocrisy and bigotry.Had Roof resisted arrest violently and made the arresting officer fear for his life it would have been ok to shoot him (shooting a dangerous suspect is very different than an "execution".)White mass murderers are entitled to full protection under the law. Black thugs should be executed immediately if they "resist arrest".
On the other hand, it would be wrong for an Aryan Nation inmate to beat up Michael Brown or Sylville Smith if they had been arrested.
Can you (and other liberals on this thread) not see a difference between a cop using violence against a dangerous suspect and use of violence for revenge?
Z is hispanic for the record. And there is plenty of gloating and celebration that they got attacked by the so-called "liberals". Not a very liberal attitude that.Plenty of fake outrage when white killers like Roof or Zimmerman get assaulted.
The choke-hold is different than "choking somebody to death". What happened to Garner is that his preexisting heart condition led to his death. In other words, a healthy individual wouldn't have suffered any ill consequences. That is similar to how some people have cardiac arrests from a tasing. And he wasn't just selling loosies, he was also resisting arrest. Do you think people have the right to resist arrest?Zero outrage when a cop chokes a black man to death for allegedly selling loose cigarettes,
That officer is being prosecuted for murder as we speak. Although he is being overcharged - the first bullets were justified and there is no way it's "first degree murder" as Laquan was armed and dangerous.or shoots a black man 14 times who is laying prone on the ground bleeding from previous gunshots,
That officer is being prosecuted for murder as we speak.or shoots an unarmed black man in the back 6 times while the man is trying to run away.
Yeah. Much better to take up with thugs who shoot at people and then ask their girlfriends to intimidate the victim into recanting.And then he acts surprised that women don't want to have personal relationships with him.![]()
What Roof did was horrible. And he is facing the ultimate penalty for it. It's not ok to let inmates beat him up and it is especially not ok for that inmate to be financially rewarded for it.No! Not a "white 'thug'". The guy is a white mass murderer. Michael Brown may not have been a nice person, and could be considered acting "thugish", but he sure the fuck didn't slaughter several people... that took him in at church.
Perhaps. But then again, I am not a conservative.I was pondering this case recently and the thought occurred to me. Conservatives love the idea of people being beaten and raped in prison.
Violence in prison has always been an issue. What makes this case special is that the guy who beat him up got financially rewarded for doing it. And yet so-called liberals on this board find nothing wrong with that.Here is the problem, one white guy who slaughtered several blacks suffers a beating in prison, and all of a sudden violence in prison is an issue.
What does one have to do with the other? Mumia Abu Jamal murdered a cop and is beloved by far-left radicals everywhere. That does not mean that it would be right for the prison guard to let an Aryan Nation inmate into the shower when he is into the shower in order to beat up Mumia. And it would also not be right for the conservatives to raise money for that Aryan Nation inmate. Things do not magically become right if the victim is not member of a political correctness protected group.Why would it bother them that a person in prison was beaten? A white person that slaughtered several black people.
Oh... yeah, I guess they almost have to be racists to get from Point A to Point B.
$10k is still a substantial amount of money.Not necessarily, as it is generally not necessary to pay the entire amount of the bail. You generally pay a certain percentage of the bail (10% in my experience) to a bail bondsman, who then provides the rest of the money for the bail.
Except a lot of time a bail is set, but set so high that the inmate is unlikely to be able to raise it.If they did not want the accused to be able to post bail, then they would not have set a bail amount at all. Dylan Roof likely has no bail amount set, given the crimes he has been accused of. Had Roof pressed charges against his assailant, he would have been in jail for a few more days awaiting the bond hearing for that assault, and would have had and even higher bond, but would likely have still had a bond set. Even some accused rapists and murderers have a bond set, but it is often so high that only the richest people can even afford to pay the bondsman. We are talking million dollar bonds in those cases, but some rich people are still able to pay them, and when they do they are released until trial.
So him getting beat up is wrong. And the person who beat him up getting financially rewarded is wrong as well. Why is it so hard for so-called liberals to see that?Yes, exactly. Roof is accused of murder, and is in jail awaiting trial. He will not be in prison for murder until he is convicted of murder. Please note that my position is consistent, and not dependent upon the skin color of the accused.
If there is objective evidence (as there is in this case) the state can proceed even when the victim is not cooperative.No. Roof did not press charges, so there was no crime in the eyes of the law, and thus there could be no payment for a crime that did not happen.
Mario Woods has been convicted of a robbery. And he died before he could be brought to trial for stabbing. That doesn't mean he did not do it. Same with Michael Brown's robbery.Accused, Derec, accused. Just like Dylan Roof is accused. You see, consistency, not bigotry.
What trash?Perhaps you should worry about the trash in your back yard before pointing to your neighbors.
Nonsense. But black criminals are the ones being celebrated by the left. Look at support people like Mumia Abu Jamal, Assata Shakur, Michael Brown etc. get from the Left.Yes, we are aware that you only care about black criminals. Actually, denigrating black people in general. And women, can't forget about those evil women.
Z is hispanic for the record.
Had Roof resisted arrest violently and made the arresting officer fear for his life it would have been ok to shoot him (shooting a dangerous suspect is very different than an "execution".) .
Bullshit. The one "already on the ground" you probably mean Laquan McDonald. I have not said it is a "good shoot", just that the first shots, before he was "already on the ground" are probably justified because Laquan was armed with a knife and dangerous. Therefore, I think the first degree murder charge is malicious and that he should have been charged with a lesser offense such as 2nd degree murder or manslaughter.Oh don't even try to pretend that is your position DerecThere have been multiple cases of black men being killed by police when they were running in the opposite direction or were already on the ground or were otherwise not resisting/violent/threatening in any way whatsoever; and you STILL insist every one of them is a "good shoot".
Do you have video of the arrest?I also noticed that none of the police officers who arrested Dylann Roof were yelling or barking conflicting orders or pointing their guns in Roof's face or threatening him or otherwise escalating a tense situation.
You do realize that most arrests happen without suspects getting shot regardless of race? You do also realize that that includes suspects in murder cases? Hell, this black cop killer was arrested without being shot.I don't know if that is because Roof is white or if these were just normal rational police officers. I do know that the 4 officers KNEW the man they pulled over was the suspect in a mass murder, yet somehow kept their cool and didn't escalate the situation to the point of killing the suspect.
Do you agree or disagree that inmates attacking other inmates for revenge is wrong? Do you agree or disagree that raising money for inmates who attack other inmates for revenge is wrong? Yes or no please. Let's see how liberal you really are.So sure... go ahead and pretend you have a rational non-racist reason for wringing your hands over Dylann Roof. We don't believe you, but if it makes you feel better about yourself...
