Charleston Church Shooter Dylann Roof Receives 4 Million in Donations From Supporters

SOUTH CAROLINA (NEWSWATCH33) – Charleston Church shooter, Dylann Roof, is currently being held in a county jail as he awaits trial for his alleged involvement in the murder of 9 members of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal during a bible study session.

As he waits for his trial, supporters of Dylann Roof across America have banded together to fund raise for Roof’s legal protection. According to the most recent information provided by the Citizens For White Rights, who is managing the account receiving the donations, they’ve raised a little over $4 Million for Roof’s legal fees and possible bond money.

The organization managing the funds for Dylann Roof’s legal costs released an image confirming the amount of donations currently received.

Michael Lawson, attorney for Citizens For White Rights released this statement “Our organization wants to ensure that Dylann Roof receives fair and equal treatment under the laws of our nation. With all of the publicity this recent incident is receiving along with the Black Organizations looking to make our client guilty, it’s important that Dylann Roof is protected. The donations we are receiving will ensure his protection as we wait for trial as well as when the trial begins.”

Several organizations and individuals who oppose the idea of fundraising for Dylann Roof are advocating to have the account shut down and some are looking to have the funds received distributed to the families of the shooting victims.

There is much speculation that the video below has a lot to do with Roof getting so much financial assistance.

      Yes they need to look at that pay list, because I think they are the ring leaders!!

      • Andres Herrera

        The SPLC is the ringleader?

        That makes precisely zero sense.

    • BuckJohnson

      I totally agree, a very good look.

    • neontzars

      http://m.snopes.com/dylann-roof-donations/ – we don’t need to spread falsehoods, it just plays into the racist narrative that anti-racists are unscrupulous liars. The facts are terrible enough.

      • Khailyn

        Thank you neontzars. I’ve seen this posted several times but didn’t repost because I couldn’t find anything else to support it. Not defending or supporting Roof, but spreading false information doesn’t help anything.

    • BlueEyed Apache

      The SPLC are leftwing is the business front for the B’nai B’rith and Israeli mosad. I don’t think it’s okay to allow them to snoop into private payrolls.

      sp lc future is not worth a bucket of piss

  • fifthdentist

    Anybody want to make a wager on the number of atheists versus the number of Christians donating to this? I’m taking the position that people who consider themselves Christians and regularly attend church are pretty much the entirety of the donors.

    • Sharon Mills

      All good “Christians.” I have no doubt. Good point.

      • fifthdentist

        Only because the conservative “brain” trust at Fox and numerous elected officials tried to turn this into a crime against Christians, instead if what it actually was — a racist terrorist act.

        • JD Davis

          What in the WHOLE hell are you talking about there, Jethro?! EVERY SINGLE ATHEIST I KNOW, including ME, finds this nothing less than a psychotic act of AMERICAN TERROR!

          Which leads me to my next question….Who ties your nooses for you?

          • mrallcaps1

            gods tie em for you and your rectal race of twerking abortions

      • mike brown

        LOL…what else would a “Good Christian” do with their money. help the needy lol..

      • ConservativeDebt

        Good “white” Christians

    • Jezzer

      Yes, this is exactly the right moment to try to turn the thread into Atheists Being Smug and Insufferable.

      • neontzars

        As an atheist, I thank you. Do shut up, fifthdentist. The victims were Christians. I’m almost ashamed to call myself an atheist because of people like you.

    • wayne

      Atheists are not racists. In fact, considering how many of the world problems throughout history were done in the name of God and religion I would say that most of the donations, if not all, were donated by the religious right.

    • “D”

      White denial as always, this has nothing to do with religion. This is the ugly truth of how many racist people exist here in the US, and wealthy at that.

      • Chuckle

        These groups are small relative to the country’s population. These idiots bark loudly but do not represent everyday people.

        • “D”

          4 million does not seem like a small percentage of the countries population. There are politicians who can’t raise that type of money for they’re campaign.

          • 9thFloor

            It’s not 4 million people, it’s dollars.

          • Rajano

            Politicians run for political office all the time though – at least once every two years on a national level. People can’t donate to every politician who runs – even if they want to. Events like the tragedy in Charleston are comparatively rare. Also, many many small donations add up quickly to a larger sum.

          • Chuckle

            The more I look at the page the more suspicions I have become regarding it’s legitimacy. Anything can be fabricated on the internet. Also Gofundme along with a few others are the only online fundraisers out there. and they would not touch this with a 10 foot pole. I really think this is a hoax drummed up by a group of nobody’s who happen to be bigots that are trying to make a name for themselves. Money is still pretty tight these days for that many regular people be able to throw thousands towards a legal fund. And thousands per person is what it would take to raise that kind of money in a few days.

        • D MONTGOMERY

          I hope you’re right

    • Michael Fox

      My money says that you hit the nail on the head

    • Michael Norman

      ARE you serious christian don’t promote racism. so you are assuming all Christians are white. get real man

      • fifthdentist

        I grew up in a family that attended a SOB (Southern Baptist) church in Georgia. They totally promoted racism. In fact, the SOBs split from their Northern brethren because they wanted to support slavery.

        • Michael Norman

          lol how old are you. slavery has not been in this country for over 200 yrs not a person alive that was born here has seen slavery. so for you to say oh my church supported slavery is ridiculous where would they be supporting it down at the corner store .

          • sham805

            You say that not a person alive today has seen slavery, which is true, but there are many still alive who’ve seen everything except the chains and whips. Lynchings, murders, and terrorism are very real to many, and it’s downright disrespectful to attempt to minimize those feelings.

        • neontzars

          That’s an anecdote, not an argument. Christians make up about 30% of the world’s population. I think the racism in your church has more to do with the fact that it’s in Georgia (no offense to Georgians, it’s a nice place, but still a disproportionately racist one). Anyway, as a proper left-winger I’m just sick of ignorant liberals mocking Christians for their religious beliefs. Before the cynical tactics of the modern GOP most Christians active in politics were firmly on the left, e.g., Dorothy Day, Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King, etc. Read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_socialism

    • Nun Ya

      There is a huge difference between those who call themselves Christian and those who walk and act as Christians. Who cares what position you take?

    • Akkere

      You’re seriously morphing this into a religious debate? Seriously? Did you simply stop growing up after the 8th grade when you bought your first fedora?

      There’s really no limit to how often you people push the debate outside of relevance. You’re just as bad as the creationist fools, perhaps even worse.

  • whonichol

    This is fake.

    • MODERATOR_PENDING

      I agree. For one, donation NAMES would not be visible to another person in the process of allegedly donating $3000 as it shows.

  • http://almostinterestinglyenough.wordpress.com/ Pyno

    Huh, I recognize some of those surnames from the KKK hearings of the 1800’s, and 1920’s, and 1960’s…I also know families with those surnames, this does not surprise me.

  • Shane Shaw

    I’m gonna call BS, but it sure did get ya’ll riled up didn’t it? Sheep..

      Yes, until there is PROOF its fake, people have a right to voice their opinion against it. So, do you have proof? It could shutdown any “Sheep” concerns.

      • thatguyJMM

    there should be laws against concocting false news stories in order to mislead the public and you should be prosecuted under them.

  • http://truthlinker.com/ truthlinker.com

    The only way this patsy is getting $4 million is if it’s from the government or from organizations and operatives being secretly funded by the government. The whole white supremacist movement is a psyop of the bankster-hijacked Pentagon and part of the effort to destroy America through the divide and conquer strategy.
    Every atrocity the murderous tyrants have committed against Iraq and Afghanistan they are inflicting on the USA. This is how they do all over the globe.

    Okay, this can’t be real. If anyone Googled “Citizen’s for White Rights and Michael Lawson” nothing comes up. Nothing comes up on just the organization’s name. Not to mention, the use of an apostrophe in Citizens is incorrect usage.

  • BenTheGuy

    Anyone who donates to this guy is a sick puppy.

    However, they also have the right to be sick puppies and the right to remain anonymous.

    And like it or not, that money should go to his defense. Giving it to the victims’ families would be straight out theft. We have laws we should all follow. Don’t respond to a tragedy by breaking the law.

    This site calls itself satire. Read the “About” page which is linked at the very bottom of the site. I disagree that it’s satire b/c it’s not even funny. Satire is supposed to be funny. It’s just irresponsible.

    • Abraham Goldberg

      Isn’t one of the purposes of satire to expose people’s stupidity?
      Didn’t this article just do that by making a bunch of idiots believe this is real?
      Cry more faggot.

    • Michael Perry

      What’s irresponsible is people being so idiotic that they believe this without doing a 5 second Google search to find out that it’s satire.

    This is a satire site…until you see this popping up on legit sites/channels…

    “Make our client look guilty” if that doesn’t sum up how big of losers Lawyers are and how far they will bend over to take it up the butt for some money, he actually made himself guilty when he did it clowns.

    Wow! I guess it’s just open season on black folks.

    • the guest

      But black folks are a part of the racist cycle. Black racism is worse because it gets a pass. Poor inner city black youth terrorize people daily and given permission by white liberals to commit racist attacks on white and non-black people.

      • neontzars

        That sounds familiar. Oh wait, it was in Dylann Roof’s manifesto.

    • bypest

      Negro ‘hoods should be deemed hunting grounds, where White families can take down a few bucks, and save a few keepers, for display, within one’s residence; the rest may serve as feed for the higher echelons of the animal kingdom.

  • Sharon Williams

    You know the law enforcement really think we are blind and can’t see what is truly happening in this country, I say this country because this racism is state to state, How does one’s keep trusting it, these laws that has been set forth for all our human race!! Why when a black man commits a crime , he gets treated like an animal, but when other race, they get treated like a human being. What the hell is going on thru peoples mind? For all the one’s that’s hating on us, We’re get the last laugh! What is it with the other race? Are they jealous of our beautiful black and brown skin complex? We come on this earth doing no harm to anyone! They decided to beat, robbed, and raped our black women,now they want to pickup a gun and just go around and shoot us. Therefore I feel we should have the right to shoot back, if someone try and kill me with a gun, naturally I have the right to protect myself. That’s whats going on now with Isis terrorist. This is what I consider Roof as a terrorist! ! He knew already what he planned to do, so white race, stop trying to cover up reality.I want to see you worm your way out of this one. The Truth is the Light!! And if you want to continue to hate on us God forbid! Why don’t you hate God because he gave us this skin color, We didn’t do it. He give you all the straight hair and give us kinky hair, but are going around hating. Nooooo! We accept who we are and carry on Try loving God first, then yourself! If you don’t love God’s creation, then you don’t love God at all!!

      Sometimes I wonder if many of these so-called “satire” websites have been set up specifically for the purpose of spreading disinformation. If they run into any legal trouble, they can just say, “Hey, it’s satire,” and point to that tiny notice at the bottom of their home page.

    PROTECTION?????!!!!he’s a cold blooded killer… seems like us citizens need the PROTECTION since (people) can just kill who ever wherever when ever they chose as long as the gov. Benefits from it … also allegedly like really he admitted to doing it ! If y’all can raise SO much money (4 mill $) for killers and pshico paths then why in the world is there innocent kids starving , no shelter , no education , no clothes why I don’t get it … Or lower class ppl (myself included ) who go to work every day and busy their a** for what , to struggle … it ain’t right , how does the murders and rapist get three hot meals and shower and a place to sleep while we help pay for it , when there’s some ppl out her who can’t even feed their kids cause the bill’s got all the money !! I know I for one don’t get it… I’m a waitress I make 2.13$ a hr and I’m lucky if I make 30$ a day , when I work my butt off go to work EVERY DAY and yet I still don’t got a dollar to my name , bill’s are behind , cables off no food in the cabinets .. but then there’s this young boy who brutually murdered 9 … yes 9 innocent ppl ! And ppl are donating money to him ! That’s insane , why don’t u go find a starving child and buy him a happy meal !! Smh some people just don’t even deserve this wonderful , thing we call life !!

  • Ronald Arden

    No one complained when oj simpson spents millions on his “dream team” for killing two white victims. . .of course, it works in reverse when it’s a white suspect and a black suspect. Unfortunately, Dylann Roof was correct on some of his points.

    Let’s be real here…this is not about “protecting” his rights. This statement by the atty Michael Lawson is so blatantly transparent that it galls me! “With all of the publicity this recent incident is receiving along with the Black Organizations LOOKING TO MAKE OUR CLIENT GUILTY, it’s important that Dylann Roof is protected. The donations we are receiving will ensure his protection as we wait for trial as well as when the trial begins.” WHAT??? “looking to make him guilty”????? Are you serious? Of course you are…you can’t see past the dollar signs $$$$$$. Come on Mr. Lawson…no one is looking to make him guilty, he’s already confessed. You’re just a grandstander who wants his 15 minutes of fame. Let me ask; Who will benefit from this $4M windfall? Mass murderer Dylann Roof, or the attorneys who will eventually deposit this money into their bank accounts? Yeah….I thought so. This is nothing but an opportunistic lawyer doing a money grab!!

  • BlueEyed Apache

    Anyone ever hear blacks denouncing fellow blacks when they murder white people? Usually they make them heroes like Omar Thorton, Tookie Wilson or Nat Turner. When blacks murder whites the black community idolize them. Now a white kids returned fire, I’m not going to ingratiate myself by throwing him under the bus. He was forced to grow up in an antiwhite system that was imposed by the Supreme Court in 1954, that kid is just as much a victim as those 9 blacks.
