Emanuel Sampson tried to kill several white people.
Sampson sought deadly revenge.
Blog King, Mass Appeal
NASHVILLE — Emanuel Kidega Sampson, 27, was in court Tuesday facing life without parole after the Sudanese gunman tried to murder a congregation of white churchgoers in September 2017. The sanguinary ordeal went down on a Sunday morning at Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee. Donning a tactical vest and motorcycle-style vizard, Sampson — who’s black — shot and killed 38-year-old Melanie Crow while injuring 7 others. But, Deputy District Attorney Amy Hunter said Sampson’s raison d’être entailed extirpating at least 10 white people as a reprisal to Dylann Roof’s 2015 massacre at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina.
Roof, a white supremacist, killed 9 negroes at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

Fortunately, Sampson was subdued by the usher to eschew a high body bag count. During Monday’s hearing, Hunter articulated a lex talionis note that was supposedly written by Sampson. The letter references the red, black and green Pan-African flag also known as RBG.
“Dylann Roof is less than nothing,” Hunter read out loud.
“The blood that 10 of your kind will shed is that of the color upon the RBG flag in terms of vengeance.”
Sampson’s lawyer, Jennifer Thompson, told court members her client’s lone intent was to kill himself as evidenced by a suicide missive coupled with a ‘goodbye’ video he left for family and friends. Sampson faces a 43-count indictment that includes a first-degree murder charge.
Do you consider this a hate crime?
Does Sampson deserve a life sentence?

his last words on twitter were” Jesus is the lord”
Dylin roof planted seeds in the minds of crazy people…,
Hate crime!
You’d think a loving God would have stopped him. Thanks for nothing!!
This tragedy would not have happened if we have better immigration control
Payback time. This just the beginning
A shame that people can’t even be safe in church anywhere anymore.
Shooters like this are the scum of humanity. And yet there will sadly be people for some reason defending a shit-stain like this.
So many sick and crazy people.
AN AMERICAN AFRICAN. THATS WHO THE FUCK WAS SHOOTER THIS TIME…
Black and muslim. What’s the possible motive?
Just kill his entire family already, then analyze why he was a waste of oxygen.
I’m guessing the cops didn’t take this church shooter to Burger King like the last one
I have my conceal and carry permitt and my gun is going to church with me to protect myself and my church members ,if I have to.
Obama’s son.
The suspect was black. Does that mean we can take down all the MLK street signs in protest?
where is Black lives matter
He´s black so it doesn´t count.
Another low life, scumbag of an inbred piece of trash, Islamic terrorist immigrant from Sudan! Ban Islam. Mark Islam as a terrorist organization world wide. Deport ALL Islamic scum NOW or suffer the inevitable consequences. Prepare for what is coming. You have no one to blame but yourselves. Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Is he a democrat?
The bastard should consider himself lucky cause he would have been carried out in multiple body bags if I were the usher!!
God bless that brave usher you did the right thing
The usher said “The real heroes are the police, first responders, and medical staff and doctors who have helped me and everyone affected”. That sounds like something a hero would say.
Sad this happened. Crazy people attack churches or buildings of prayer.
He’s not guilty! That shotgun just aimed itself at all those WHITE PEOPLE, AND JUST WENT OFF!!
Why the fuck didn’t i heard of this sooner
where was god the holy father, on vacation ? come on
I don’t agree with what he did but I clearly get from what Emanuel said on the witness stand that something was wrong with his mental state. That had to have been a major factor in what he did.
