America is mourning the death of 9 people who were killed in a historic Black Church yesterday in Charleston, South Carolina after a young white male opened fire in side the building. The suspect, 21 year old Dylann Roof has now been arrested by the Police after he was detained during a traffic stop in Shelby, North Carolina.
The Hip-Hop community has reacted strongly to the hate crime, including Nas who spoke on camera about the situation to Vibe magazine. He makes a very valid point indeed about catching people with mental illness in their childhood so acts like these can be avoided later when they become adults.
