Dylann Roof’s Black Friend: He Wasn’t ‘in His Right State of Mind’

‘He doesn’t talk like that, doesn’t act like that’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

POTTER: "Alex, on Friday I talked with a young man who is 22, he lives in Lexington, south Carolina, a two-hour drive in Charleston here, he lives in a trailer court and was friends with dylann roof. He said first of all he, scribbon, who is black, did not feel dylann roof was a racist, they were friends. Other people said they did see such evidence, he said he did not. But the most stunning thing he said was a week ago Wednesday when they were drinking and driving to a lake roof said -- and he had a handgun with him -- that he was intending a week later to go to Charleston to shoot up the college of Charleston." 
SCRIVEN: "The school is three miles up the street from the church. That's why I say he couldn't get into that school so he settled for the church. The gun was in his name and licensed and he had permits to carry it and he did follow his rules about how you carry the gun in the car. I don't think he was in his right state of mind at all because dylann in his right state of mind doesn't do things like that. He doesn't talk like that, doesn't act like that."
