                Catherine Thompson publishes an article on July 8, 2015, about an incident that takes place a month before. The incident is a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina, was a target for a shooting. The FBI suspected and visited a founder of an online white supremacists forum called Stormfront.org. Shortly after the visit, the founder started soliciting donations for a legal defense fund. The man who founded the online forum was the Ku Klux Klan grand dragon and his name was Don Black. He stated, “My free of speech site was attacked and we have to protect ourselves.” He also said that, “We aren’t going to just sit there and let the government do what they want.”

                Soon the man who was involved in the shooting was revealed. His name is Dylaan Roof and he was an online associate. Don Black said he was concerned that federal investigation on his site would scare off the commenters.  He also said that the truth they write is being attacked when the government calls it “hate speech” and tries to shut it down. Dylaan Roof was known to have killed nine people in the church. To read more click on the link above.
