In Chapel Hill Shooting of 3 Muslims, a Question of Motive
NY TIMES ^ | 2/12/15

Posted on 02/12/2015 5:42:23 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

.... two women called 911 to report multiple gunshots and screams...near the University of North Carolina....

... three people were dead...Muslims of Arab descent...

The victims’ families described it as a hate crime. The police said that the shooting appeared to have been motivated by “an ongoing neighbor dispute over parking,”....

In the afternoon, Ripley Rand, the United States attorney for the region, said the shooting appeared to have been “an isolated incident” and “not part of a targeted campaign against Muslims.”

Local news interviewed several neighbors, who reported the perp was constantly angry and confrontational with everyone in the complex. Got a feeling these folks either pushed back or were in the wrong place at the wrong time. He might have gone postal over Jehovah's Witnesses if they had crossed his path at that moment as well.

However, never let a crisis go to waste. Here comes the buzzards....

The MSM will drop this pretty quick since they realized this guy was a liberal and a fan of all things leftist. Nothing to see here, move along...

“Last year a Muslim beheaded a Christian woman in Oklahoma. Did the New York Times call this a hate crime?”

No, that was terrorism.

Sunni Muslim vs. Shi’ite Muslim shooting? Muslims are killing more of their own than Christians and Jews combined. [Note to MSM: Only Muslims are killing huge numbers of Muslims and Christians and Jews. When do you slack jawed, knuckle dragging, drooling members of the media understand that ISLAM is a 1400+ year old death cult?]

Generally, no, but there are some people who would kill for almost any reason or no reason at all.

Exactly. The whole idea of a hate crime is silly. What difference does it make if someone murders a person for his race, religion, or what’s in his wallet? The victim is just as dead and the perp is just as guilty.

Liberals don’t believe in justice, so they always have to add something to it, like the loaded term “social Justice”. Justice is justice. Anything else is political.
