Three Palestinian Arab men were shot and injured in Burlington, Vermont, on Saturday in what authorities suspect could be a hate-related crime, The Hill reports.
The Burlington Police Department (BPD) said in a press release on Sunday that two of the three victims are in stable condition while the third sustained “much more serious injuries.”
The three men, who are each 20 years old and of Palestinian Arab descent, were visiting the home of one victim’s relatives in Burlington for the Thanksgiving weekend and were walking along a street when they were confronted by a white man with a handgun.
Police said the man discharged at least four rounds without saying anything and fled on foot. Two of the victims were shot in their torso and one was shot in the lower extremities, police said.
Burlington Police Chief Jon Murad suggested the incident could be a hate-related crime.

I'll betcha!
“Palestinian Arab descent,” but were they of recent Palestinian Arab addresses?
This is a terrible case. Thanks for the update.
contrived
This sounds like every drug shooting that happens in Western MA.
“somebody white did something”
oh well!
They went to high school in Palestine and college in the US.
I suspect that Ivies, Brown especially, add points for a West Bank address.
Just injured? Someone needs more range time.
Oh, and there is no such thing as a "palestinian". That land NEVER existed. There is no historical record. There is no Biblical claim by a made-up people to land they never lived in, and that Almighty God gave to the Jews, His chosen people.
Therefore, since there's no such thing as a "palestinian" this entire story is made-up FAKE NEWS.
or Shitcago. There's DOZENS of these types of shootings WEEKLY in Shitcago and they don't make the national news.
I have a slight suspicion that it was not for love
No matter what happened, if it really did happen, those Arabs had it coming.
“Deserved it,” for those in LomaLinda!
Eliminate hate crime as a law and concept. Hate crime is intended to put anyone who tells the truth or challenges marxist dogma in jail. Ultimately executed.
And a guy run over by a car in Ohio in a hate crime too.... until his brother admitted he was the one who beat him up. They could not find the car and driver because they never existed in the first place.
Forgive my cynicism.
Only place where it’s relevant is if the perp did what he did in order to start a race war, like the Manson Family murders.
You mean, one of them wasn’t an interloper in a manage a trois?
If they were celebrating Thanksgiving then most likely they aren’t muslim Palestinians.
Muslim Palestinians make a point of ignoring Thanksgiving, recognizing it is a Christian holiday and wanting no part of it. At least not the ones I know here in Florida.
To be fair, there is no evidence any of the three were “purveyors of hate” any more that there is evidence that whoever shot them was motivated by race.
Just not enough evidence at this time on any of it.
Update: Victims were shot with a .380, recently purchased by suspect. Feds have already matched shell casings at the scene with a .380 recovered from suspect’s apartment (can they work that fast? Gun was seized at 9:30 last night).
The one odd thing (so far) is, if this guy lost it because 3 Palestinians speaking Arabic and wearing keffiyahs were walking past his house, snapped, and ran out to exact justice against Hamas - why did he recently purchase the gun used to do the shooting?
Either a coincidence, some kind of planning ahead of time (how was that possible), or he’s been “on the radar” and he got it from one of his “friends” at the Bureau.
They are flogging “gun violence” pretty hard at the press conference, although TBH the mayor is a long-time grabber (never let a crisis go to waste).
Palestinians are not haters? Really? Where have you buried your head? Virtually every interview of “innocent” Palestinians has revealed a deep hatred of the Jews, which is taught to them from birth. Mother after Mother have expressed their fondest wish is their children will grow up to be martyrs. Hate in general is a cancer that must be excised from our society. Palestinian and Arab hate is a particularly virulent strain that requires extreme treatment, followed by radiation treatments.

The head covering is an in your face political statement and it seems some can’t deal with it. Here in Florida I’m seeing more and more muslim women with head covering, ostentatious facial make up and fashionable form fitting clothing. Seems kind of odd to cover their hair while having heavy make up and putting their bust line, etc., out on display to random infidel males they encounter.
