This page is not a forum for general discussion about Dylann Roof. Any such comments may be removed or refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article. You may wish to ask factual questions about Dylann Roof at the Reference desk.

The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless. Feel free to try to improve the article, but don't take it personally if your changes are reversed; instead, come here to the talk page to discuss them. Content must be written from a neutral point of view. Include citations when adding content and consider tagging or removing unsourced information.

Language around "suspected" and "alleged"

Why does the language say he's suspected of committing the attacks / alleged to have committed the attacks. He's confessed to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlippi (talk • contribs) 16:11, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Language in the first paragraph

The language in the first paragraph does not refer to Dylann Roof as a mass-murderer. This is important, especially in comparison to the very recent article for Omar Mateen. Please consider this very minimally modified language, in an effort to eliminate bias in reporting:

Dylann Storm Roof is a mass murderer responsible for the June 17, 2015 Charleston church shooting.[3] During a prayer service at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Roof opened fire with an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, killing nine African Americans, including senior pastor and state senator Clementa C. Pinckney, and injured one other person.

Symbols of White Supremacy?

The opening paragraph said that he had symbols of white supremacy and Neo-Nazism. I heard about the Confederate Flags but what other symbols did he have? If it was only the Confederate Flag and symbols of Neo-Nazism then the phrase "white supremacy" should be amended as there is debate over what the Confederate Flag means (not to mention that it means different things to different people) and that calling it one thing or another violates Wikipedia's POV policy. It should read that there were pictures of him with Confederate Flags and symbols of white supremacy and Neo-Nazism or alternatively, if there were no other symbols, him with Confederate Flags and symbols of Neo-Nazism.

Please remove all instances & variations of the words "alleged" when referring to Dylan Roof's actions as it is fact that he killed these people. It is a proven & documented fact that he is a killer. The only thing that is unknown is the reason.

-The Charleston massacre was a government stage PSYOP and media perpetuated hoax...Dylan Roof is an actor, no one was shot, no one was killed...it is a fabricated event, to push gun control, censor the Internet and other Democratic Party agenda
