The Hate Crime President
Townhall.com ^ | February 14, 2015 | John Ransom

Posted on 02/14/2015 4:53:35 AM PST by Kaslin

Look if you want to get all wired up about Muslim students being killed start with Syria, or Iraq, or anywhere in practically ANY of the predominantly Islamic countries around the world where murder is rampant.

Just don’t start in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where police say Craig Hicks killed three students, who just happened to be Muslim.

It’s a terrible tragedy that this man, Hicks-- who by accounts in the New York Times and other media outlets dealt poorly with anger issues in his life—would kill anyone. But that they were Muslim had nothing to do with the shooting. It was incidental.

“Police said Hicks shot the three people over an ongoing parking dispute in the condominium complex where he lived with the newlywed couple,” reported local WSOCTV. “The victims’ families said that the murders should be considered a hate crime.”

Over a parking spot, right?

Murder? Yes.

Hate crime? No.

And lawyer Obama should know it.

Except for this: One gets the feeling that Obama and the Department of Justice have long planned for a scenario where innocent Muslims would face a backlash over continuing Islamic violence aimed at Western societies.

And since Americans haven’t taken the hate crime bait that Islamic barbarians have offered up, Obama will turn it into a federal case, using the same methods that he turned Michael Brown into an innocent African-American who was shot by police out of malice.

I don’t begrudge the family of Michael Brown or the family of the killed Muslim students their grief, which is legitimate. The students killed in Chapel Hill were innocent—unlike Brown-- and the crime is plain murder, which is hateful by definition.

But Hicks will be tried in North Carolina presumably, and if convicted, he will face the death penalty-- that’s if the state’s liberals start using the death penalty again.

I have a growing belief that Obama wouldn’t know a hate crime if he stumbled upon it at the grocery store with a label listing all the active ingredients.

That’s OK. Obama will be off the stage soon enough.

The rest of us however will have to live with the consequences of his mass myopia and color-blindness.He seems to see only one color: rage red.

Because let’s face it: Obama is and always will be blinded by color…and race and creed and religion and, and, and.

"And it's not surprising then that they get bitter,” said Obama of you, me and others who oppose him, “they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Hicks it will be noted was an atheist according to press accounts. Presumably then he only clung to guns, which is enough of a hate crime for Obama to decide the murders had to be race related.

And that kind of thinking obscures the real hate crimes.

The real hate crimes happened in Manhattan- at the Twin Towers-- at the Pentagon, Fort Hood, Paris, in London, Moscow, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Iraq...the list grows—and they were perpetrated by Islamic terrorists—an individual that Obama can’t see with his defective vision.

The real hate crimes at home, including high African American unemployment, poor educational opportunities, and, oh yeah, the murder of blacks in their own neighborhoods by other illegally armed blacks—also happen mostly in Democrat bastions-- a truth that again Obama can’t see because of he is blinded by color.

My heart goes out to the families of Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, Deah Shaddy Barakat and Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, the students killed by Hicks.

The families deserve justice for the crimes committed against them.

But if they count on Obama to give it to them, all they will get is hate.

Obola has never been concerned about TRUTH,
only concerned about creating division in America
as he IMPOSES DeathCARE (Islam EXEMPT), Sharia,
and Islam on America, while the poodle Congress
licks his rear end clean for him, publicly, daily.

Only when it suits thier agenda, dont here work place violence in this case or unarmed black child. The imposter has set up an administartion that generates crisis according to thier agenda. The end result is what they look for, Americans for the most part are asleep at the wheel and the wheel is just that, a wheel without a vehicle.

ISIS Kills 21 Christian Copts in Libya

Twenty-one Egyptian Christians kidnapped by Isis in Libya around New Year’s are feared dead, after Twitter accounts linked to the Libyan branch of the so-called “Islamic State” announced they had been slaughtered. There is no official confirmation yet but Egyptian media believe the news to be reliable and two pictures released by the same Twitter sources show what they describe as “the Islamic State carrying out the execution of Coptic prisoners in the province of Tripoli”. In the first picture five men wearing the notorious orange jumpsuit are kneeling while hooded hangmen armed with knives stand behind them.
The caption, written in English, describes them as “the humiliated followers of the Coptic church”. In another picture more men wearing the orange jumpsuit appear in a line with their executioners under a message in English that reads “revenge for the Muslim women persecuted by Coptic crusaders in Egypt”. These pictures along with others were published by Dabiq, Isis’ online magazine in English, together with an announcement of the kidnapping but not of the execution. The abduction, already described by several sources as having taken place around New Year’s, was claimed on January 12 and there remains a faint hope that the news of the execution on Twitter is a fake stretching of the images released. The Egyptian government which set up a special crisis unit to follow the kidnapping did not confirm the death of the Copts.

I wonder when we will hear from Obama about this?

It was just some “schoolyard prank violence.”

Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

It’s all about him, all about him. The causes are excuses; he would disavow loyalty to any one of them as the occasion suggests for his own aggrandizement.

“Hate crimes” should never have been a separate category in the criminal justice system.

What part of “Thou shalt not kill” does the criminal justice system not understand?

That has been underlined and a stand-alone prohibition long before the administration of justice ever got beyond the tribal level.

Adding the nuance of “hate” to crime is painting over crimson with red. Nobody can objectively tell the difference. ALL crime is, at some level, an expression of hate toward the victim.

He really gets angry when an evil American attacks his best buddies.

He hates Americans, and thinks we are all racist/colonialist/jihadiphobe and truly lives the people who he is always defending.

Obama is such a tool....of every victim segment of the population he has managed to create through his deliberate divisiveness. He has pitted one group against another for so long, that these groups feel some extraordinary privilege versus others groups. They all become innocent victims, deserving of some righteous protection above what everybody else enjoys. Instead of just the murder of three innocent young people over a parking space, it becomes a "hate" crime. Of course it is. The alleged murderer "hated" that these kids were using his parking space.

If the murdered had been three white, Christian conservative kids, Obama would be on the golf course now instead of making some hand-wringing statement over this horrible "hate" crime. And even then, he had to be prodded and goaded into making the statement by the Muslim leader of Turkey. Obama is no leader. He is a follower.

Again, he is such a tool. And a fool.

Obama sees the 20th century genocide of the Armenians by moslem Turkey as...well, simply emigration; an orderly and understandable migration from NE Turkey (principally) to the Turkish southern border that was — so sad — a more difficult trek than the migrants had anticipated, and thus the few remaining opted instead to just become immigrants and cross the border into Syria. No hate crime. Nothing to see here.

In the end it will be deemed a hate crime. Either the local police will be made to see the light, or the FBI will do so.

Thanks.

I live on a cattle farm out in the country, without much opportunity to voice my opinions about politics just because there are so fewer people around. Even though most people in the rural area where I live are like minded conservatives, politics is not discussed much, because people are struggling at making a living, working hard to keep up with life. Politics, especially federal politics, is way down on their list of priorities to spend time getting informed and talking about.

So I appreciate the FreeRepublic forum to voice my opinions to like-minded people who appreciate what I have to say. They may not always agree with me, but I can speak my mind on this forum, whereas I don't have that much opportunity to do the same in everyday life around here where I live.

Thanks again for your supportive comment.
