Charleston church holds first service since gunman killed 9-Charleston mourns, begins healing after church massacre-Reuters By Edward McAllister, Luciana Lopez and Alana Wise-JUNE 21,15-YAHOONEWS

CHARLESTON, South Carolina (Reuters) - Hundreds of people flocked to Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston on Sunday as it reopened its doors to worshipers just days after a gunman shot dead nine black church members.Outside the church, the oldest African-American congregation in the southern United States, bouquets, teddy bears and balloons covered the sidewalk while hundreds of people lined up to mourn, sing hymns and leave memorials.Thousands of hand-written messages covered white banners at the church's entrance, reading "God Bless," or "Thank you Sen. Rev. Clementa Pinckney. You will 4ever be an inspiration," referring to the church's pastor, a state senator who was one of the victims.
City officials, religious leaders and mourners have said Sunday's services at Emanuel church would mark a small step toward healing after the latest U.S. mass shooting, which has again trained a spotlight on the nation's pervasive and divisive issues of race relations and gun crime.Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old suspect, remains in jail charged with nine counts of murder. Authorities say he spent an hour in an evening Bible study group at the church, nicknamed "Mother Emanuel" for its key role in African-American history, before opening fire on Wednesday night.Federal investigators were examining photos and white supremacist writings that surfaced on a website on Saturday that appeared to show Roof posing with a handgun and standing in front of a Confederate military museum and plantation slave houses.Texts posted on the website included an "explanation" by the author for taking some unspecified action."I have no choice ... I chose Charleston because it is most historic city in my state, and at one time had the highest ratio of blacks to Whites in the country," it said.The massacre was the latest in a series of mass shootings in the United States that have reignited a debate over gun control in a country where the right to own firearms is constitutionally protected. Outside Emanuel church on Sunday, where services were due to begin at 9:30 a.m., security was tight as police patrolled with a bomb dog to sniff through the growing piles of flowers, balloons, toys and signs. Below the church program board, a poster covered in pink and white hearts and silver stars read: "We are all in this together & we will shine on." A picture of multi-colored hands marked the middle of the card, reinforcing the message.Monte Talmadge, a 63-year-old U.S. Navy veteran, drove nearly 300 miles (480 km) from Raleigh, North Carolina, to offer his condolences to the church and community."There was an overwhelming feeling that made me drive here," he said. "A church is a place of worship, not a place for killing."The victims' names, written on white ribbons adorned with roses, bedecked one of the church's gates. Another gate held a black shirt that read: "Do you believe us now."Joseph Kovas, 19, was hoping to make it inside the church for Sunday's service."We wanted to come to show our presence and prayers to the community. The way they have been affected is tremendous," he said. "The people have come together in Charleston and that is great testament to this city."(Writing by Chris Michaud; Editing by Digby Lidstone and Tom Heneghan)

Protesters target Confederate flag after Charleston killings-AFP By Robert Macpherson-JUNE 21,15-YAHOONEWS

Columbia (United States) (AFP) - Several thousand protesters gathered under the controversial Confederate flag at South Carolina's state legislature, demanding it be taken down in response to the Charleston church massacre.Waving placards, chanting "take it down" and singing "We Shall Overcome," the youthful crowd, black and white, condemned the Civil War saltire as a symbol of lingering racist sentiment in the American South."We can no longer afford to let that flat stand there" and be a beacon for those who harbor "bad opinions," said one of the speakers, 95-year-old lawyer and activist Sarah Leverette, prompting loud cheers.Organizers called the event a "warm-up" for what they hope will be an even bigger anti-flag protest, also in front of the colonaded State House, on the Fourth of July holiday.Online, more than 370,000 people as of late Saturday had put their name to a petition launched by the left-leaning MoveOn.org activist group, calling for the flag to go."Symbols of hate have no place in our government. The Confederate flag is not a symbol of Southern pride but rather a symbol of rebellion and racism," it said.On the heels of the Charleston shooting, "it's time to put that symbol of rebellion and racism behind us and move toward healing and a better United States of America!"

- Point of friction -

The flag's 24/7 presence -- alongside a memorial to Confederate war dead on the lush green State House lawn -- has been a point of friction in South Carolina for years.But it became a flashpoint once again after a young white male walked into a bible study class at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston and shot dead nine African-Americans.One of the dead was chief pastor Clementa Pinckney, who was also a state senator, yet the flag -- unlike others -- was not lowered to half-staff after the shocking massacre that has renewed debate about racism and gun violence in America.Dylann Roof, 21, from the Columbia area, has been charged with nine counts of murder in connection with the bloodshed, which authorities have described as a hate crime.Police on Saturday were investigating a racist online manifesto that appeared on a website that also carried pictures of Roof with the Confederate flag and a handgun.Supporters of the Confederate flag embrace it as a symbol of Southern pride and heritage, and officials say removing it from the State House grounds requires by law a decision by the Republican-dominated legislature, now in summer recess.Governor Nikki Haley, a Republican who enjoys Tea Party support, has refused to call a special session to address the issue, saying emotions are still too raw in the wake of Wednesday's bloodbath.

- No one complained -

Last year Haley, whose parents are immigrants from India, defended the flag on the State House lawn, saying it wasn't an issue because no corporate CEO had ever complained about it.Yet even some of her influential fellow Republicans were on the other side of the argument. Former Republican White House hopeful Mitt Romney tweeted "it's time to take down flag in SC."And current Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush echoed that saying in his own tweet that as governor he took it down in Florida, and put it in a "museum."Will Green, a young African-American activist in Columbia, said the flag encouraged neo-Nazis from out of state to come to South Carolina, but discouraged investors and graduate students from moving to the state."This flag is lying about us, our state and the kind of people we are," Green, who described himself as "a son of the South," told the crowd."We have to take Southern pride out of the hands of racists and haters," he added. "It's not just about dead Confederates. It's about us."

Many U.S. mayors skeptical Charleston will inspire gun law changes-Reuters By Robin Respaut-JUNE 21,15-YAHOONEWS

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Many U.S. mayors said this week's deadly church shooting in South Carolina should lead to more restrictions on gun ownership, but few believe the violence that killed nine people will propel legislators to enact stricter gun laws."Among ourselves, it has been coming up," said Bill Harrison, mayor of Fremont, California, during the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors this weekend in San Francisco. "But how many of these events does it take to get action?"Harrison said on Saturday the 2012 school shooting in Newton, Connecticut, where 20 children died, represented a personal turning point, but also made him skeptical about political change."I'm not giving up, but if Newton couldn't get people together, I don't know what will," he said.As Wednesday night's shooting at the historic African-American church in Charleston gripped the country, prosecutors on Friday wrapped up their case against James Holmes, on trial for killing 12 and wounding 70 in a shooting rampage in a movie theater in 2012.
That violence, followed by the Newton shooting, inspired activism and a push from President Barack Obama for gun control measures that subsequently fizzled.Guns are chiefly regulated at the state and federal level, with possession protected by the U.S. Constitution, and local governments have limited authority."Our state has made some steps forward but what we do on the ground is with our policing power and our close relationship with the community," New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio said on CNN on Saturday."Every time you turn around in this city and there's gun violence, that gun came from a state where it was just easy, just plain easy, to get a gun and send it up the East Coast to New York City. We need national legislation to change this."The bipartisan group Mayors Against Illegal Guns expects high attendance at its meeting during the mayors' convention, with every state represented, said Mayor James Diossa of Central Falls, Rhode Island on Saturday."This happens every time there is a situation: gun control comes to the front burner. But the problem is the political will is lacking." said Mayor Mary Casillas Salas of Chula Vista, California. "It's a problem with the state legislature."Obama on Friday told the conference he does not expect Congress to enact new gun laws soon.For Jesus Ruiz, mayor of Socorro, Texas, gun control is a federal issue split along party lines."With the Republicans controlling Congress, we are limited," he said.(Reporting by Robin Respaut; Additional reporting and writing by Lisa Lambert in Washington; Editing by Richard Chang)
