Why don’t you just state your point rather than irritating redundancies?

Makes me laugh to think what Santino would think if he knew the media was calling him a white supremacist.

His name is Santino and his older brother is named Rosino but noone can say that part of his ethnicity might be Hispanic?

His maternal grandfather was Iranian making him Arab.

One of the cited social media posts criticized “white twats” but it is convenient for the MSM to say he was white supremacist.

At least 48 people were shot — eight fatally — in incidents of gun violence within Chicago city limits over the weekend...


Nothing about the gilroy shooting should be written without this comparison above. It could have been decades since Gilroy had so many gunshot victims. And only a week since Chicago did.

A former co-worker from Iran once told me that Iran is fragmented into about a dozen ethnic groups. Only three of them might be considered "Aryan", which is to say, direct descendants of the Indo-European peoples who swept across and conquered Persia and India several millennia ago.

Back in the day of the Shah, Iran and the US were allies. The American support forces based in Iran were thought to be the 10th largest ethnic group in the country.

It is a very complicated place.

He will soon be recognized as a rat supporter who voter for Obama and Hillary like the rest of the shooters but the label and narrative have been written for the ages and no further story is needed

Iran is Persia. They have more in common with neighbors to the north, east and west. They are not Arabs. They fight like badgers.

I know. I have several “Persian” friends and I have read a bit about it. The Persians I have met in the US never refer to themselves as Arabs or Iranians.

If you are in the Oceanside CA area there are a few Persian businesses including a small imported food store at Emerald Dr and Hwy 78 in nearby Vista. And good persian restaurants in places like Huntington beach and downton whittier.

thanx and best wishes

Not me.

I have known too many Iranians to make that mistake. They don't consider themselves Arabs and would be insulted by the attribution.

They do have a number of other ethnic associations, and each group considers themselves superior to all the others. One must tread carefully through that maze.

Sorry, I mistook you for the first poster I responded to.

As you were! Best wishes.

re: “Nothing new here except during the airing of this piece, ABC used the phrase “White Supremacist Messaging” three times in referring to Legans’ social media accounts.”

That’s because ABC News cannot conceive of a “grievance collector” like Christopher Dorner was ...
