A little facile, perhaps, but the White House twitter is interesting as regards the points it takes from the speech: https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse

his gun violence statement was pretty pointed. "this doesn't happen in other developed countries." xxp yes

usually when american people hesitant to start thinking about gun violence start thinking about gun violence their first thought is "man, I need more guns"

xp to myself IE nothing about the racism angles - he said he was constrained by due process, could this be a matter where how the shooter did what he did (IE shoot) is less bound than why?

Which of course overlooks what we do to black men who carry guns, or things that look like guns, like wallets or cell phones or nothing.

Yup, we've hit point in any horrific media event when the on-air assholes can now safely target the president instead of trying to just kill time.
Puns not intended, probably.

Dylann Roof, the alleged gunman authorities say is responsible for killing nine people in a predominantly black Charleston, South Carolina, church Wednesday night, had been “planning something like that for six months,” according to his roommate.
Dalton Tyler, who said he has known Roof for seven months to one year, said he saw the white, 21-year-old suspect just last week.
“He was big into segregation and other stuff,” Tyler said. “He said he wanted to start a civil war. He said he was going to do something like that and then kill himself.”
