You are raping our women and taking over our country! These would be the final words that nine congregants of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church would hear before they were brutally massacred by Dylann Roof.  At the age of 21, Roof, a white man, was motivated to commit these heinous atrocities to human life by hatred and racial intolerance. Added to this volatile mixture was a misguided patriotism for the Confederate flag, and armed with a 45-caliber handgun Roof viciously altered the lives of the victim’s family, friends, community, and the congregation as a whole.
