Once the Charleston community and all of SC came together instead of going full on Ferguson or Baltimore they needed something to direct their attention to.
One thing is absolutely undeniable. South Carolinians handled and responded to this issue 1000 times better than Ferguson and Baltimore residents and out of state troublemakers. The degree of civility was drastic in our situation vs their's. The people who you might think who would be the most upset by these horrific murders didn't burn cars, assault police/or each other and loot stores.
This situation could have been WAY worse from a social unrest perspective.
SC even had a white police officer murder and try to cover up a black man's death, and still the SC leadership in that community kept the people in control and from acting like thugs.
The result, that murdering cop is going to jail for a long time and the confederate battle flag of northern virginia is being removed from the state house grounds. I'm not going to get into pro/anti flag, but the way that South Carolinians responded to these situations was dignified and civilized.

Which makes the whole situation all the more interesting. You can't have it both ways. Either SC is full of ignorant, racist rednecks, or it's a template of what the rest of the country should aspire to in handling race relations.
