The victim states he believes that these phone calls are implied threats.” On Friday, the same day Franklin Roof told cops he was being threatened, he released a statement to the media expressing “shock, grief and disbelief” over his son’s arrest for the Wednesday massacre at a bible study group at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. Franklin Roof told police the calls have kept him from using his cellphone.

The New Black Panthers are holding a rally on Sunday.
