Take a moment to say these names out loud.

These are the names of the nine people murdered on Wednesday during a church prayer meeting by a racist coward in Charleston, South Carolina.
As the media pretends to analyze the motive and digs up uninteresting facts about the terrorist, I’d like to turn the attention back towards those who are no longer with us, and the families who will forever mourn their absence.
While we’re at it, this would also be a great time to take down the confederate flag that still flies above South Carolina today.
