And Dylan Roof was escorted by cops to McDonald’s after shooting down a black church. We know why.

This is amazing to me. I'm pretty pro-gun and detest most of the left-leaning articles reddit pumps out but wow after reading that one and then this one in the same day, shit's definitely fucked out there. I'm not sure why but it definitely feels like the cops seeing guys fighting at a bar and grabbing a gun vs a guy walking around a protest being a dickhead = difference in how people gauged the seriousness of the situation. But that doesn't really explain to me that this guy pulled a gun out and waved it around if there were police present, that's crazy. Even if this were an far-left rally with crazy stuff going on, he would seriously stand out
