A day in the life of the newest leader of white nationalists

Via comment by Anonymous on Is it time for the Confederate flag to be as taboo...

 

Late at night on June 17, after he and his wife had gone to bed, Matthew Heimbach’s phone rang on his nightstand. On the other end of the line was a man from the South Carolina field office of the FBI. The man asked Heimbach if he knew a man called Dylann Roof and, if so, if he knew where Roof was. Heimbach told the officer that he had never heard of Roof and wondered what the call was about. Without explaining further, the officer thanked him and hung up.

“That’s when things got weird,” Heimbach says. Soon calls were coming in from associates who had all gotten similar calls from the FBI, and they were all now wondering the same thing: Who was Dylann Roof, and why hadn’t any of them heard of him until tonight?

“None of us had ever even heard the name Dylann Roof before,” Heimbach says. “Now he was all anyone was talking about.”

    1. It contained information I wasn't aware of. Also, I post Huff Post at times if it covers an issue with some degree of impartiality. TV? Virtually non anymore.

  2. What about all the Facebook postings of Dylann's black friends who declare him not to be a racist??? What about the cops taking Dylann to Burger King after the alleged shooting because the boy was hungry??? And what about the roving body of the alleged pastor???
