can u like info dump everything u know on dylann i love reading abt him (only if u wana ofc !!)
this will probably turn into an insane long rambling post that's all over the place and i think i'm mainly going to include small details that i haven't talked about yet but first i want to share my work in progress webpage about him that one day i might turn into an entirely separate website so information about the case can be more accessible/easy to find -> 44caliber.net/dsr (it's meant to be viewed on a computer but if you use a cellphone it's still readable but the layout looks a bit rough)
I spent like the past week complaining about misinformation and lies about Dylann but I love that there's stuff about him that sounds made up but is 100% true, like him going on and on and on about white nationalism in his journal and then ending it by randomly saying that he'd like to go deaf or him saying that he rather die than be labeled autistic (which I always thought was just an exaggeration until I recently found the full transcript of his competency hearing which shows that's pretty much exactly what he said). I'm not sure if this part's true but someone said that he would randomly walk away in the middle of conversations which is so funny to me
(and as seen in one of my previous posts, everyone knows that Dylann is oh so cool, so of course he can't have autism!)
but I think that he genuinely believed that he wasn't going to get the death penalty (he also said that he thought the judge and people on the jury liked and pitied him so he wouldn't get the death penalty, and if he did then he would cry before they killed him which would make them change their minds), so he didn't really take his trial as seriously as he should have
During the trial, his attorneys(?) would pass him notes of things like questions they wanted him to ask, but I believe he refused most of them. Dylann was extremely upset that there was a possibility of photos of the things in his car would be shown in court (and as we know now years later these are publicly accessible on the internet for anyone to see), so much so that he passed these very angry notes to them. I think he might've been embarrassed because he had things like clothes, soap, and other various sort of essentials in his car
also I forget the specific document this is from but one of them cites tumblr as a source lol (possibly his younger sister's posts on here)
card that dylann got on his birthday from his dad, about a week later he bought his gun:
He definitely wasn't as close to his dad as he was his mom, but I believe he said in his interrogation that his mom wasn't too happy about the gun, so maybe he asked his dad for it because he'd be more likely to allow it ?
To me it seems like people tend to forget that Dylann had killed a state senator (Clementa Pinckney), who wasn't going to stay for the bible study because it was going to start later than usual and it was a long drive home for him (my source for this is the book Grace Will Lead Us Home but I'm actually unsure of how accurate it is). This is a really sad detail about his family:
Also CVS has a thing where you can get passport photos taken but I have no clue why he did that ???? One thing I'm curious about is the possible photos that he took that weren't shown in court or shared publicly. like there's a bunch of random mundane irrelevant photos but what might've been the reason for some of them being left out ?
I also really love the picture where he's smiling with one of the statues at Boone Hall and I can't help but find his crooked teeth cute but:
another sort of small and probably meaningless detail but i find it interesting that dylann had used russian websites, reg.ru to register his website's domain and yandex for at least two of his email addresses. i know yandex is fairly popular but i wonder why he went through the effort of using a russian website for his domain
People point out a lot that Dylann ate burger king after he was arrested and sort of made fun of it bc they think the food is shit, and I used to defend him on it because at one point I believe he said he liked McDonald's better until I looked through his bank statements and realized he fr liked burger kind and ate it a bunch
and on the topic of his eating habits, his older sister apparently paid him to go out to dinner with her for his birthday just to get him out of the house, he ate quickly and did not talk. when he was younger, he would pretty much always order spaghetti when he went out to eat with his parents. I think it was around 2014 when he first started being worried about having issues with his thyroid, and if you look at his bank statements in the months leading up to the shooting, he was buying fast food pretty frequently which I think could've contributed to him not feeling great.
I don't really think Dylann necessarily had an eating disorder, but he definitely had some body dysmorphic issues and was insecure about being thin (when he was arrested his height/weight listed meant his BMI was 17.7, but I believe a document showing his BMI at different ages showed that it was 16 at some point but that was when he was a lot younger). People mentioned that he would wear two pairs of pants, which his mother wondered if he used as a way to make him look bigger. I personally believe that in some of his photos, he would sit/lean in certain ways to make himself look bigger
of course most obvious in the pictures where he's not wearing a shirt to cover up that he's purposely hunching his shoulders but i feel like you can see it here too (also I think he might be wearing two pairs of pants here??):
He was really stressed that he was losing his hair, but this shows that he really wasn't (my personal theory is that he might've been unintentionally pulling his hair and eyelashes and such out when trying to prove or see if his hair is falling out by itself)
Also has anyone else noticed that in almost every picture he took in his room the door was open? He lived with his mom, her boyfriend, and his younger sister so what happened when one of them walked in on him taking all those stupid pictures?
For some reason I'm really interested in photos of his bedroom though
(In the last one you can see his makeshift KKK mask made from a pillowcase) I also really enjoy this rabbit statue thing he had on his desk (I've been looking for one similar online but haven't had much luck T_T I did manage to find the bandana though)
I will possibly go back and add to this later!
