Протест на американци срещу зачестелите стрелби в САЩ

Thousands of people marched across Arthur Ravenel bridge, in Charleston County's Mount Pleasant, Sunday, in memory of the nine people who died in the Emanuel AME church shooting on Thursday. Led by police chief Carl Ritchie, people walked the 4 km (2.5 mile) stretch in a 'Unity March' organized by Mount Pleasant council. On Friday, twenty-one-year-old suspect Dylann Roof attended court where he faced nine charges of murder and one charge of possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. Roof reportedly sat for one hour of a Bible study class at the Emanuel AME Church, before shooting nine churchgoers on Wednesday evening. In court the suspect only spoke via video link when the judge asked him a question and otherwise remained silent for the rest of the hearing. Relatives of the victims addressed Roof one by one personally, some saying they had forgiven him for what he has done. His bail has been set at $1 million (€879,000).
