All eyes are on the Confederate flag, but let’s not forget what enabled Roof to turn his ideology into death with such efficiency, as illustrated in this comic from Jonathan Schmock. Visit Schmock’s website here.

LOL, I guess the flag manufacturers' lobby wasn't on their game.

I guess we should be glad that mass-murdering lunatics like Roof aren't very intelligent, creative, or technically-competent since there are FAR more efficient (and readily-available) ways of killing many more people, if merely amassing as high a body count as possible before being caught or killed is the goal.
Fortunately for the general public, the vast majority of individuals with that kind of knowledge and skill are on the "security" side of the equation (trying to prevent/stop that sort of thing, which is what my own background and training was focused on).
