ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[HairOfTheDog]

Of course the prosecutor in South Carolina's name is Scarlett.

Frankly, Gunnar, I don't give a damn.

So, this winner, Joey Meek, a friend of Dylann Roof, has just been hit with federal charges for lying to police and concealing information.



The indictment says 21-year-old Meek stated to an FBI agent that he did not know specifics about Roof's plan to shoot churchgoers during Bible study, but the FBI says that was a lie.

Authorities notified Meek last month that he was under investigation. He was arrested Thursday. Meek has said Roof stayed with him in Lexington County before the June 17 shootings.

Meek previously told The Associated Press that, before the shooting, Roof drunkenly complained that blacks were taking over the world."

Meek is expected to appear in court for arraignment today. It wasn't immediately clear whether he had an attorney to contact for comment on the case.

The three roommates of Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev faced similar charges in that case; they were all convicted and sentenced to prison.
