Charleston church killer Dylann Roof wants to fire two lawyers trying to keep him from being executed because they are Jewish and Indian and therefore his “biological enemies.”

I know it's not pleasant but in this case I'm looking forward to hearing how this one ends up wriggling in pain when they give him the lethal injection which he resoundly deserves

His attorneys and the court psychiatrist think it might be an ASD that is making him have such resolute beliefs.

He has a right to choose his own legal counsel, but I can't imagine he has the funds or much of selection of people lining up to defend him. But it's still his right to fire them if he chooses; one the few rights he has left.

No one said it didn't have the right to do it.

The OP is not implying that its illegal to be a self defeating idiot. Just that its...idiotic to be a self defeating idiot.

Ahem...

Theyre called "White Supremacists" because they hate folks with darker than white skin. So obviously that would include beige folks like Hispanics, and brown folks like Asian Indians.

BTW the KKK only recently opened its doors to Roman Catholics (originally they hated Catholics too). So for most of its history even a red haired blue eyed Irish Catholic would be barred from the KKK.

I don't think he'll be 'wriggling in pain' as you put it, but yeah, if he wants to do this, then let him. If he succeeds at doing so, then we'll have saved a good deal of taxpayer money by not having to pay out lawyers fees and housing, as his execution date will most assuedly move up. -- Good riddance.

Perhaps it might be televised like his comrade Timmy McVeigh

It would have been better if someone had shot his as dead on the spot right there at that church.
Move his execution date up to tomorrow since that's what he seems to want and be done with it...

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this insane idiot wanted to represent himself, as he would imagine only he could be the only person who he'd have faith in.

As a side note - if those who are angry about Confederate statues being pulled down are looking for someone to blame, then blame Dillon Roof. It was only after that mass atrocity that he had committed that had spurred Confederate flags to be removed in public. It was only a matter of time till Confederate monuments were pulled down.

Yes that's right. Notice how the far right in the US are quiet (probably secretly swelling with pride) about Roof's exploits. One could argue that a younger Roof internalised a lot of the stromfront crap posted online. particularly the common one calling for a race war.

Oh Raptor, I wasn't aware up to now that you also speak for the far right?

Its no secret what the far right have been bleating the mantra "race war" since the end of segregation (we had that here in Australia too). Obviously (it's not rocket science) that Tim McVeigh, Dylan Roof, Anders Brevik and (more recently) James Fields have actually acted on the propoganda which is exactly what the leaders of the far right have been wanting for years which is brainwashing these dumb fools to go the next step and be violent (they off course sneakily wash their hands and claim they have nothing to do with it) much like any follower in a cult - its called groupthink
