Relatives of the slain Armanious family of four will speak at their first press conference since the brutal murders on Tuesday, Feb. 15 at 3 p.m. at the National Press Club's Zenger Room in Washington, D.C. U.S. Copts Association president Michael Meunier will join the Armanious family's relatives in addressing the investigation's status and expressing the family's point of view on the horrific crime. The family will also address erroneous reports circulated by some national and foreign media outlets. The family will be joined by friends of the Coptic-American community, including representatives of NGOs and human rights organizations.
Ayman Garas, the brother of victim of Amal Garas, will speak alongside Garas' brother-in-law Emad Fahmy and uncles Emil, Gameel, and Milad Garas. The family members will also discuss the case with lawmakers and government officials during their visit to Washington. "We feel it is extremely important that the public hear the Armanious family members' side of the story and we are pleased to help them express their point of view on this disturbing crime," said Meunier

Thx for the ping!
Thanks for posting this. good luck to the family, they are really going to need it in terms of catching the terrorist perp in this case. I hope they manage to keep the pressure on.
You never know these days.
It says nothing about being televised or where to catch it on the radio.
I'll be looking.

Don't get banned. FR is one of our best com-tools.
Thank you for the ping Selkie.
"I'll be looking."
I suppose it MIGHT be on c-span.
The swift boat guys had a press conference at the National Press club in may, 2004 that was mostly ignored. It was only the book and the tv ads that got their ideas across.
That is why I'm wishing this family, and these people, good luck. They are really going to need it. Some talk says the perp came and went back and forth from Egypt. The powers that be in NJ have already basically shut up.
Nobody buys robbery as a motive, and besides there was no forced entry.
Who knows what will happen. There are a lot of folks who've been killed by Muslim terrorists and the Authorities try and gloss over that. The Jewish kid killed on the Brooklyn bridge years ago; the people shot at LAX; the victims of the DC snipers.
Two imported killers, two home grown Muslime. In Jersey, perps unknown.
I think we can expect this to get far worse before it gets better.
When I hear someone, anyone, in a position of power say "we are fighting ISLAMOFACISM" rather than "terrorism" then I will feel we are making good progress. Until then, as much as I support W and the efforts we have made so far, I will continue to have my doubts. Obviously the war in Iraq and Afghanistan did NOTHING to keep this Jersey family safe.
And I say that as a Jersey mom, so you know where I am coming from.
Please watch America's Most Wanted on Feb 18 9:00 p.m; they will be profiling the Armanious murders. Let AMW producers know you care about justice in this case and justice will not be served by a PC whitewashing of the case so as to avoid a hissy fit from CAIR.

Oh that's EXCELLENT !
Thanks for sharing that.
This fits like a hand in a glove because the muzzies can never be trusted, no matter what they say.
That's true, but from what I've seen in the last few days, there are two hot button issues here - immigration and muzzies.
For the first time since I've been here, I don't know where the boundaries are.
Heads up! AMW profiling the Coptic Christian family slaughtered in NJ.
If you (or anybody) get the details on the press conference, please post!
Pro'lly not too far from where they always were.
(Although I do know what you're talking about.)
PTTT
If this had been a crime against someone with an alternate lifestyle or a non-Christian minority, thus labeled as a HATE CRIME...it would have been all over the news. But sadly...a HATE CRIME against Christians doesn't rate the same, even if it was a minority group of Christians.
Bump...Thanks.
