So if the Confederate flag had never existed some people think this crime had less than a 100 percent chance of occurring? Perhaps 99.9 percent, maybe?

The answer is No. This killer was also drawing inspiration from flags of old regimes in South Africa and Rhodesia.
Man, you have to be pretty far gone to be walking the streets with the damn Rhodesian flag on your jacket. That's just bizarre.
The Confederacy stood for the defense of slavery, but not for the mass murder of Black people. So he's gone well beyond Confederate racial policy into a Nazi-like extermination mission.
It won't stop this sort of thing, but I do believe the flag should not be on top or in the front yard of state capitols. It makes it look like a latter day Confederate legislature is in session, or a legislature which aspires to be so.

You know hardly a week goes by that the FBI doesn't arrest some ISIS sympathizer for tweeting his intentions to support ISIS or travel to the Caliphate.
I don't know if you can apply these terrorism laws to wannabe Neo-Confederate terrorists before the fact like Dylann Roof, or not. The courts have traditionally given people alot of room to spout off under the 1st Amendment, as it should be.
Was Roof engaging in treason by proclaiming spiritual allegiance to a defunct government that was at war with the US 150 years ago? Or just honoring the battlefield courage of Southern soldiers? Difficult to prove before the act, unless there is evidence of conspiracy to commit a crime.
