A little harsh. In those situations it's usually just necessary to shoot the driver.
At least it wasn,t a Crusade . Maybe the atheist left will decouple from the islamists soon.
Here’s the whole article I read, no mention:
Craig Stephen Hicks Arrested After Chapel Hill Shooting Kills 3

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — A man, his wife and her sister — all college students — were shot to death at a quiet condominium complex near the University of North Carolina, but police had not yet given a motive or released details about the suspect.
Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the Tuesday shooting, Chapel Hill police told local news outlets. He is being held at the Durham County Jail and was expected to make a first court appearance Wednesday morning.
About 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to a report of gunshots. They found three people who were pronounced dead at the scene. They were identified as Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, of Chapel Hill; Yusor Mohammad, 21, of Chapel Hill; and Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, of Raleigh.
Barakat and Mohammad were married, and Abu-Salha was Mohammad’s sister, according to UNC.
Barakat was a second-year dental student there, and Yusor was scheduled to begin dental studies in the fall.
Both had graduated from North Carolina State University, school spokesman Mick Kulikowski said. Barakat graduated with a business administration degree in the spring of 2013. Mohammad graduated in December with a biological sciences degree.
Abu-Salha was a freshman design major who had started classes last fall, Kulikowski said.
The neighborhood where they were found — immediately east of campus — consists mostly of apartments and condominiums rented by students. Neighbors there said Wednesday morning that never before seen police or had crime problems.
“It’s a very quiet community,” resident Bethany Boring told WRAL-TV. “It’s a lot of graduate and professional students. You know, professional families.”
Crime tape hung near the apartment where the victims were found, but otherwise there was no indication of a crime scene. Outside the victim’s apartment, a woman’s bicycle with a helmet was parked by the stairs.
Police have not released a motive and said the investigation is continuing. A police spokesman did not immediately return telephone messages Wednesday. UNC said its chancellor would issue a message to campus later Wednesday but gave no other details.
I’m betting he went off his meds. He has that look about him.
Expect the media to condemn all Americans for the actions of one unAmerican lunatic.
It could be because this is the 3rd story on this matter.
Maybe the 4th or 5th thread will stay in Breaking.
Stuff happens.
Except Obama, of course. Remember, he's above it all.
He makes it up.
Influenced by years of watching/listening to the hateful & intolerant Bill Maher.
Exactly.
Another committed Lefty on a killing spree, wait till the media tries to hang this on the Tea Party
Somehow they’ll stretch it into islam hating and not a random act but how the nation feels. 0bama will address the UN and make speeches and go play golf.
I can confirm now that it was an on going dispute over a parking spot and the guy just lost it
Hmmm… Ted Kaczynski , Jared Lee Loughner, Pekka-Eric Auvinen, Ted Bundy, Jeffery Dahmer, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, Tim McVey, Russell Williams and Craig Stephen Hicks...
So why was it moved to General Chat out of news anyway? Not enough Jeb Bush or ISIS in it?
The 4th story is now up

Although it’s not in Breaking. As many Freepers wake up, they’ll check Drudge or some other site, they’ll see this story, they’ll FReep it.
Happens all the time. Not unusual to see 6-8 different sources posted during the day on one event.
IMO, the reason why your story was moved to chat was because you posted in Breaking.
Breaking News is solely for FReepathons and old news from yesterday.
Dang. I missed one.

That’s Number 6. And as I hit send on this post - possibly MORE threads are being posted as I FReep.
FWIW.
One of the moslems behind the 2007 Jeep bomb at GLA was a healthcare worker iirc.
