Instead of talking about the 4 shooting victims, woke individuals on Twitter are demanding that the shooter isn’t shot by police. This Twitter demands that the 18-yr-old student “deserves to survive his arrest & be treated the sane at Dylan Roof. If not better!” He reminds everyone that even though this kid shot 4 people, “He is a child.”
This child deserves to survive his arrest. & be treated the same as Dylan Roof. If not better! On GOD!
He is a child yes I understand he’s 18. & I reiterate. HE IS A CHILD https://t.co/kgu9wfvYXD
