Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse surrounding the horrific Charleston shooting, we now have South Carolina Representative, William M. Chumley, blaming the 9 victims for their own deaths.
Not only did Chumley vote ‘No’ in regards to removing the confederate flag, he thinks that the victims should have defended themselves while shooter, Dylann Roof, was reloaded his gun.
Y'all, watch this interview. This is SC Rep. Chumley re: #CharlestonShooting. http://t.co/Y6lOCwenqT

This has got to be the most disgusting thing I have heard. How can you blame 9 innocent people for their own deaths? How can you say that they should’ve tried acting in self-defense while Roof reloaded his gun? I am so disgusted by Chumley’s comments. He needs to be immediately reprimanded and removed from office. I really want the people of South Carolina to wake up because these are the people that are leading our state.
