Muslim Students' Slayings Investigated As Possible Hate Crime, FBI Says

By DAVID ZUCCHINO AND MATT PEARCE

5,000 Muslims and non-Muslims turn out to mourn 3 students shot to death in N.C. The FBI announced late Thursday that it had opened a preliminary hate-crime investigation into the slayings of three Muslim students in Chapel Hill, N.C.

"The FBI is continuing to provide assistance to the Chapel Hill Police Department to process evidence related to a triple-homicide investigation," the federal agency said in a statement. "The FBI has also opened a parallel preliminary inquiry to determine whether or not any federal laws were violated related to the case."

The announcement followed an emotional prayer service on the North Carolina State University campus, where all three had been undergraduates.

Mourners came by the thousands under leaden skies — men in white skullcaps, women in dark head scarves, children dressed in their finest clothes, and college students in jeans.

Should be an interesting case.

Trying a man who religiously doesn’t believe in anything.

I tend to think that in most murders there’s not a lot of love involved.

Trying to think of occasions when someone points a gun at someone else and pulls the trigger intentionally in order to send a Valentine.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

A case like this has serious potential to break the whole hate crime narrative.

How do you try a man for a hate crime when he doesn’t believe anything?

I actually don’t care if they use a hate crime. The guy was a jerk and atheist to boot. Down with him. I just hope the discussion calms down soon.

The woman who got beheaded at her workplace I believe in Oaklahoma. Did they charge the wacko with a hate crime? I don’t think so.

In that article there is an article where they lifted up the coffins and carry it upon their shoulders. Is there any group that does that? When I saw the picture I thought of the Palestinians.

The whole concept of “hate crime” is pathetically redundant.

Maybe he’s sexually attracted to Muslims and just lashed out in frustration.

From what I’ve read, the victims are what you would hope for in Islamic immigrants and the killer is a atheistic extremist who would justify his killing rampage on the basis of any religion Muslim or Christian. Fry the SOB.

Thats because the muslims are commanded by allah to kill people, they are not motivated by hate
