What we know about Mainak Sarkar, UCLA shooter
startribune.com ^ | 06/02/216

Posted on 06/02/2016 12:58:24 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Police discovered what Sarkar titled his "kill list" at his St. Paul apartment on Agate Street, which listed the names of two targeted professors, one of whom was not on the UCLA campus at the time of the shootings. A Brooklyn Park woman was also listed. Brooklyn Park police discovered her body in her home at 12:35 a.m. Thursday. Neighbors identified her as Hasti.

• Sarkar's motive for killing the professor was believed to be over the perceived intellectual property theft.

• Beck said the professors knew Sarkar had issues with them, but didn't believe he was a danger.

• On March 10, in a blog post that has since been deleted, Sarkar called Klug "a sick person" who stole his work. "I was this guy's Ph.D. student," he wrote. "We had personal differences. He cleverly stole all my code and gave it another student. He made me really sick."

• Police say that at some point, Sarkar drove from Minnesota to Los Angeles. Police are still looking for the car, a 2003 gray Nissan Sentra with Minnesota plate 720KTW

I want to know his immigration status. How did he come here? Student visa? H1B? Does he now have permanent immigrant status? We need a chronology of his immigration history.

Dr. Sarkar--proud member of the political class!

He graduated with a PhD. in 2013.

Joker Boy (Holmes, high income parents), the Newtown Martian (Lanza, high income parents), Robert Dear, with a degree in government administration (headed for regulatory glory), the San Bernardino Health Department employee: all licensed, approved folks with class and money!

Something to think about.

I, also. I keep looking but there's no mention yet that I can find. I guess they really don't want to tell us.

FYI: Prof. Klug was an outspoken Christian.

A Christian Jew bastard?

That’s certainly not a nice thing to call someone.

Odds are the killer wasn’t Muslim and the victim wasn’t Jewish, but that seems to be the story people like. Maybe wait until we know more about the details.

I thought I saw he was from West Bengal, India. I think this says as much if it can be trusted as a source.

I don’t know, but read it on the interwebs. He had an H1B yob so, yep, more likely an alien of the terrestial variety.

What is your malfunction? Do you have something against a person being Jewish? The Professor who was shot was a Christian.

Bengalis can be Hindu, Muslim, Christian, or Buddhist.

That is always the red flag that something is amiss. The MSM and the USG always try to hide this information if it is damaging.
