Okay, I found something on it, in another article about “beheadings” in general...

[ ... ]

So, since last July:

— Tim McLean of Manitoba, Canada, on July 30 was decapitated on a Greyhound bus by Vince Weiguang Li, who probably belongs to the Hui ethnic group, which is a Muslim ethnic group, and who is possibly from China’s Xinjaing Uyghur Autonomous Region, which is largely Muslim. But the mainstream English language media don’t report anything about Li’s background or religion. The public is left to guess whether he is a Muslim or not, and whether he was attending a mosque in the heavily Muslim city of Edmonton during the period prior to the murder.

— Patrick McGee of Manchester, England, on December 15 was beheaded in his front yard or in his living room by an unnamed man who according to an initial story in the Mail police thought was from the Philippines, but in the Mail’s revised article the mention of the suspect’s being Filipino is dropped and he’s described as mentally ill. The Philippines has a Muslim minority and a large Catholic majority. McGee is treated in the media as a cipher, an “elderly pensioner” (he was 63), who was a “nice” man, and beyond that his death is given no meaning. The details of the murder are never given. All that the police say about the suspect is that he is being checked for mental illness and therefore his name can’t be given. There is essentially one real newspaper article on the murder,and then the story disappears. (All VFR entries on this are here.)

— And now Xin Yang at Virginia Tech, Virginia, on January 21, 2009 is beheaded in a graduate student coffee shop by Haiyang Zhu of Ningbo, China which has a famous mosque. Beyond the bare abstract fact that the suspect beheaded the victim, both AP stories deliberately avoid telling what he actually did to her, how he cut her head off, and so on, The experience and reactions of the seven witnesses to the decapitation are not recounted.

This is the one you were talking about — “And now Xin Yang at Virginia Tech, Virginia, on January 21, 2009 is beheaded in a graduate student coffee shop by Haiyang Zhu of Ningbo, China which has a famous mosque.”

It sounds like this is a Muslim thing, and that’s quite another matter, altogether, it seems. There’s a big problem going on here in this country (and elsewhere, with the infiltration of Muslims into our society and their lack of respect or regard for the laws here (or the Constitution) and them wanting to institute “Sharia Law” instead of using our country’s laws.

This is a bit of a different matter, than the authorities not respecting the rights of citizens, as in the case of this gentlemen who started this thread. It’s a *problem* — to be sure (i.e., the Muslims and Sharia law) but that’s not quite the matter at hand in this thread...

Although I think the issue of Muslims, the mosques and Sharia law need to be addressed — it’s not in the same ballpark as the authorities/law enforcement disregarding citizen’s rights and what citizens should do about that...
