    Nationally, I presume?

    Hard to ignore the killer being an overt racist.

    Nationally, yes.

    I'm not talking about ignoring aspects of it. I'm talking about relegating the story itself to a brief, or at least an inside page. Or deep into the newscast.

    Of course they matter. What a silly thing to write.

    But now, Dylan Storm Roof is the latest celebrity shooter.

    Maybe he's just getting back at his parents for naming him after storm roofs?
