It's hard to say what he was building. Maybe control towers. 😀 Now that, I would be familiar with.

Oh yeah. San Jose. They hate hate and if you aren’t a lefty illegal lover they’ll kick your *** after the SJ police funnel you to these peaceful thugs like cattle through a chute.

Question: Why have there not been any arrests in the Jewish community center threats?

There was a shooting in Kansas. It was a guy who was some sort of alcohol dependent and Indians mistaken for Iranians.

The story of the Sikh man being shot resembles many such stories as this:

“A French nursery school teacher on Monday claimed he was stabbed in his classroom by an Isil supporter before admitting he invented the entire story, as tensions run high after a series of terror attacks in the country.”

Except for the evidence of a Sikh who was actually shot.

The rest of the story:

“The 45-year-old teacher at a school in Aubervilliers, north-east of Paris, was taken to hospital with light stab wounds in his side and throat.”

So you think the guy shot himself and witnesses are all lying? Sikhs aren’t Muslims in case you are confused. Personally I am not prepared to die on the hill defended an attempted murderer whether he was a racist or not. Noone here sticks up for white skinned liberals, in fact there is nothing but well deserved animosity. Yet some white asshole shoots someone with brown skin and it’s time to circle the wagons? no thanks.

There were no witnesses to the shooting.

I'd like to learn more about the story with the guy near Seattle that got shot. I thought I had read where it was an argument. Looking at the Sikh's driveway it looked like he had lots of cars to work on, and maybe it was an irate neighbor trying to take a nap? The neighbor was just angry at the guy - and used the “Why don't you go back to your own country!?” as an obvious answer to getting rid of the noise problem

I know I'm just making stuff up - but getting called a name or something like above during an argument doesn't mean the argument was about race or whatever.

Now - shooting the guy for making too much noise (in my make-believe story) - that doesn't make much sense either! (Unless the jerk used a silencer - um, I mean “suppressor”).

I’ve seen plenty of racist hatred and violence by the SJWs against whites over the past eight years. Harassment of whites is the main racism ongoing in society.

Eric Kurhi, the author of this piece, is a 45 year old self-described Democrat who lives alone and provides an occasional piece to one of America’s most purposefully left-wing newspapers. You want hate? Take a humanities or social science course at San Jose State.
