Loretta Lynch and the U.S. Justice Department think Dylann Roof should die.
The attorney general announced on Tuesday that they will seek the death penalty for the Charleston shooter, who is accused of killing nine people when he opened fire on a bible study group at historically Black Emanuel A.M.E. Church last June.

"Following the department's rigorous review process to thoroughly consider all relevant factual and legal issues, I have determined that the Justice Department will seek the death penalty," Lynch said in a statement. "The nature of the alleged crime and the resulting harm compelled this decision."
Roof, 21, was charged in July and later indicted for federal hate crimes. He received 33 federal charges, including charges for nine murders, three attempted murders, and weapons.

"This is the archetype of the original domestic terrorism," Lynch said at the time. "Several months prior to the tragic events, Roof conceived his goal of increasing racial tensions and seeking retribution for perceived wrongs that he believed African-Americans have committed against white people."
