Considering that the three Palestinian college kids were wearing that black and white checked neck rag to show support for Hamas, it seems that someone went overboard by using a firearm to object to their support for terrorists killing Jews. Of course, the shooter might instead be a performance artist specializing in irony trying to terrorize supporters of terrorism.

"Without speaking, he discharged at least four rounds from the pistol and is believed to have fled," [Burlington Police Chief] Murad said.

There is "reason to believe this shooting occurred because the victims are Arab," [the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee’s] statement said. "According to the information provided the three victims were wearing a Kuffiyeh and speaking Arabic. A man shouted and harassed the victims, then proceeded to shoot them."

Without speaking, he shouted.

Sure.

Sounds like the paliscum and drug dealer had a little argument about drugs, money, or turf.

This dude is on the wrong side of the spectrum: white, normal-looking name, went off on brown people, and did it in a libby state.
Goodbye life.

People have had their fill of terrorism by the moooozlims, either against Israel or the rest of the world. I-sham has become a pestilence and is incompatible with civilized society. After 3 combat tours in Iraq and watching these people in their natural habitat, I am conviced that i-sham is nothing but a death cult masquerading as a "religion". That they call it the "religion of peace" is absolutely laughable.

How is it possible to hate a Palestinian? No such nationality exists, and no country of Palestine exists either. There is only Israel, and disputed territory, not organized into any kind of civilized society or having any kind of government worthy of the designation. Both the West Bank and Gaza are under the thumb of bandits and thugs who have no concern for the victims of their malicious enforcement of “order”.

But the UN sure thinks this is a viable entity.

Right away the NY Post tags it as a hate crime in the headlines without any evidence. For all we know it could be a drug deal gone bad, yet everyday I’m reading about Hamas supporters in New York city closing down bridges, streets, damaging property, attacking Jewish businesses, attacking Jews, handing out maps to Hamas supporters showing where there are Jewish businesses, yet not one of them is tagged as a hate crime.

So...a non-muzzie attacking the Pallies is a hate crime, but the pallies attacking anyone else is not?

Right! OK! Got It!

Funny, the Hamas Democrats begin to disrupt American society and suddenly some random violent act against an Arab/Muslim occurs. Is it me, or is this way too convenient for the left to break out the Islamophobia shtick again?

Who knows? Maybe the Palis thought the white guy was Jewish and threatened him, and approached him with evil intentions.

One thing for sure, there are already dozens and dozens of articles on this story, virtually every Leftist news outlet, which is most all news outlets, just can’t wait to write this story for obvious reasons.

He should have yelled “Allahu Akbar” when he shot and that would have taken a charge of a hate crime off the table.

Pointing that fact out is Islamaphobia and an incitement to violence by white people.

Three arabs wearing Kafiyeh. I would hold off on judgement until you understand what they were doing. Just ‘foolin around’, like they do in Ramallah? He might have been defending himself. What were they doing?
