Dylann Roof

Dylann Roof is a white supremacist who killed nine people in a shooting rampage at Emmanuel African Methodist Church in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015. Since the attack, Roof and his bowlcut haircut, have become symbols of hate for white supremacists and bigots who view Roof as a hero for the cause. In August 2021 a federal appeals court upheld Roof's conviction and death sentence for the targeted shooting.
