Oh no another attempt at gotcha spin against Trump falls apart...

Yet they are still blaming Trump.

That’s funny I never heard about the attack on Hispanics by Muslims. I wonder why?:-)

“La Raza vs. Islam.”

Now why didn’t I think of that? Pay Per View rates would be through the roof!

I see a new Broadway musical in the future...”Mosque Side Story.”

[DUMBGRUNT]

Sounds like a good plan!

No matter who is arrested, the Jews will pay for this.

Lived 35 years of my life in that area. We moved there from Manhattan in 1970. It was largely Italian then. Hard to find one there today. Nearly all Guyanese (Indian) now.

...the shooting occurred about 3 miles from where the suspect may have lived, where they say a feud had been brewing between hispanics and muslims. Because, as I said above, the area where the shooting occurred is nearly entirely Guyanese/Indian these days. However, the area of Pine & Pitkin (ave) is largely hispanic.

From the NY Post...

“At a press conference, police explained how cops were able to track down the suspect through his Chevy TrailBlazer. Surveillance footage showed the killer hopping into the SUV after shooting.

Detectives immediately entered the vehicle into their database system — and 10 minutes later, there was a reported hit-and-run in Brooklyn involving a bicyclist and a TrailBlazer that matched the description of the killer’s vehicle.

“The hit-and-run happened at Pine and Pitkin about three miles away from mosque,” Boyce noted.

Authorities tracked the TrailBlazer to East New York, where the suspect hopped into the vehicle and “rammed the detectives’ car several times in an effort to get away,” Boyce said. Oscar Morel was taken into custody at around 11 p.m., sources said, and charged with murder.”
