Emanuel Samson Church Shooting Was Retaliation For Charleston

Last Sunday, a horrific mass shooting unfolded in Antioch, TN while the national media was consumed with covering the NFL protests and Hurricane Maria’s aftermath.

Emanuel Kidega Samson, a 25-year-old Sudanese refugee from Murfreesboro, entered the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in nearby Antioch, TN and gunned down 7 people. He shot Melanie Crow Smith in the back as she was walking to her car, turned her over and reportedly shot her execution-style “like she was a damn dog in his backyard.” She died instantly in the parking lot. Even though the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ is a multiracial congregation, all of the victims in Antioch were White.

By definition, a church shooting is highly suspicious, and even more suspicious when the suspect is black and all his victims were White. The national media, however, didn’t find what had happened in Antioch, TN as interesting as the Dylann Roof shooting in Charleston, SC. The relative silence was strange since the Antioch shooting immediately triggered a federal civil rights investigation. The local media also reported that federal investigators had reason to believe the civil rights of Emanuel Samson’s victims had been violated. In other words, it was highly likely that this shooting was motivated by race or religion even though Emanuel Samson’s motive was being kept under wraps by the police.

We now know the motive was retaliation for Charleston:

“NASHVILLE, Tenn. —

A note found in the car of a man charged with spraying deadly gunfire at a Tennessee church made reference to revenge for a white supremacist’s massacre at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina, two years earlier, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.

The note could offer a glimpse into Emanuel Kidega Samson’s mindset at the time of Sunday’s shooting and a possible motive for the rampage, which killed a woman and wounded six other people. The Associated Press has not viewed the note, but it was summarized in an investigative report circulating among law enforcement. Two officials read to AP from the note.

The report said that “in sum and in no way verbatim,” the note referenced revenge or retaliation for Dylann Roof, the white supremacist who killed nine black worshippers at a South Carolina church in 2015 and has since been sentenced to death. It wasn’t clear what precisely Samson is alleged to have written about the Roof shooting, or whether his note contained other important details that might also speak to a motivation or state of mind.

The law enforcement officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to publicly discuss an ongoing investigation. Metro Nashville Police declined to comment, saying it had not released the information …”

This was a reverse Dylann Roof.

It was something that I suspected given the fact that Emanuel Samson was a Christian and Charles Johnson had uncovered evidence of his black supremacist sympathies:

“Even though Burnette Chapel Church of Christ is a multiracial congregation, the victims are all White people. The fact that the Department of Justice and FBI have opened a federal civil rights investigation suggests the victims in Antioch were targeted on the basis of race or religion. In light of the fact that Samson appears to be a Christian who once attended the church, this suggests the motive in Antioch was racial. We’re going to know a lot more about this very soon.

Charles Johnson has reviewed Samson’s Facebook account. There is strong evidence that he was interested in groups like the New Black Panthers. He was sharing videos like this. There is nothing on his social media accounts that suggests he was a Muslim …”

A few days ago, I told Michael Edison Hayden of Newsweek:

“Brad Griffin, an alt-right, self-described “southern nationalist” political organizer who goes by the alias “Hunter Wallace,” and has in the past called for the creation of a “Jew-free, White ethnostate” rejects this premise.

“It’s because the media wants to push narratives,” he says, arguing that the story has been deliberately buried by the press. “Editors in newsrooms don’t want to make black people look bad. Black people can only be portrayed as victims by the media.”

Griffin is among the many prominent voices in white nationalist circles calling the Antioch shooting a “reverse Dylann Roof” incident,” referring to Roof’s politically-motivated murder of nine black church goers in June of 2015. Johnson of GotNews also name-checked Roof in a conversation with me, saying that it was clear to him that Samson “was very pro-black” by his social media history, and adding that “if it were a white shooter with black victims it would be a very different story.

“People on Twitter often dictate what gets covered by the mainstream media,” Johnson quipped. …”

I flagged the story and drew a lot of attention to it on Twitter.

It was clear to me that something important had transpired in Antioch, TN. I couldn’t prove it without the letter, but now we have the equivalent of Roof’s manifesto. It’s even worse than that because what happened in Antioch wasn’t just similar to Charleston, but was inspired by the events there.

As it happens, I have spent the last month scouting locations for our next event, and had already zeroed in on Kentucky or Tennessee. By last weekend, the League of the South was already planning to hold an event in Middle Tennessee before the Antioch shooting happened. In 2013, we held a rally in Murfreesboro, TN and Shelbyville, TN to protest of all things the dumping of refugees in the area.

Who had the foresight to anticipate such a tragedy?

In Tennessee, the Confederate monument issue is muted because of the Tennessee Heritage Protection Act, so we were mulling over other issues like, say, anger at Trump and Congress (Sudan was removed from the travel ban literally the day of the Antioch shooting) or spotlighting the refugee resettlement issue which we had previously drawn attention to in 2013.

And then … as if the Lord was aware of our intentions and has a higher purpose, Emanuel Kidega Samson, a 25-year-old Sudanese refugee, goes and does a reverse Dylann Roof in Antioch. I’m not going to say it is a sign, but I am not going to rule out the possibility either. Wow.

Deus vult.

  1. I guess the victim was one of those Christians who stupidly believed that racism was bad and that we should feed and breed the starving niggers in Africa. If so then neither she nor her family shall receive any sympathy from me. Let them get annihilated by their pet blue gums, it saves us the trouble of having to liquidate them later on.

  2. The only way to get the proper coverage for this anti-White crime is for our side is draw attention to it, much like what was done years ago with the Knoxville murders. Personally this is a good location for UTR 2, anti-White hate crime, media silence, DACA like refugee. Also Andrew Jackson’s home and grave not to far away, a White hero, but claimed by DACA loving Trump as a hero too.

    • @Ron,
      I’m sure that respected human rights activitists
      such as David Duke, Jared Taylor and Mark Collett are drawing attention to these anti-white racists crimes whenever they’re brought to their attention. Look them up-they do great work in bringing the problem of white persecution out into the open.

  3. I am located a couple of miles from this church…Tonight on the local TV news, the screen showed a 5-second mugshot of the Sudanese racial stranger’s mugshot along with a 5-second narrative that police had determined a possible racial motive. The broadcast then lauched into a full minutes long story about a military prep school instructor taking a “brave stance” againt “HATE” after the word “nigger” was found scrawled on a chalkboard. ..(sounds like a hoax to me)
    They are getting very, very agressive with The Narrative .

    • Of course. Everything they do to anyone else is justified in their tiny simian minds but anything that is done to them is “wrong.” The negro cult of victimhood is always playing the “heads I win, tails you lose” game and pretending to be sweet, angelic victims only reacting to oppression. It’s all you fault, white man is their default position every time

  4. ” In light of the fact that Samson appears to be a Christian who once attended the church…”.

    Such a statement is a lie. This no more makes him a Christian, then does a Sudanese émigré become an American, simply because he lives here.

    Clearly, one can use the comparison of modern-day Israel and the Africans living there, who claimed that they are “Jews.” They are not, according to Israeli policy. Why should the US be any different?

    We also need to demolish the fallacy that Christianity is a universal religion. It is not.

    The only people to whom Christianity belongs, by the very voice of holy Scripture, are the “Judean” and “Helene.” Christianity has only been for One people, and that is the “Israel of God.”-Galatians 6:16

    Just like the “mixed multitude” that accompanied the Hebrews out of Egypt, they may have lived among God’s chosen people, but we’re never considered as those chosen people. Similarly, any non-Europeans living in our countries today,?may be considered as part of our nation for tax purposes, but they will never be TRUE Greeks, English, Swedish, or Americans.

    God has only had one salvific people-both in the Old Testament and the New Testament, and they are ONE people.

    • Friar John, I must admit I like what you recently said about Negroes who are devout Christians. They will have to be satisfied being doorkeepers to the Temple of the Lord without being allowed admittance into it.
