(CNN)—A 46-year-old man has been charged with murder in the shooting death of three Muslim students in an apartment near the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus.

Police haven't said what may have compelled the accused, Craig Stephen Hicks, to allegedly carry out the attack Tuesday evening. He turned himself into police later in the night.

But given the victims' religion and comments the alleged shooter apparently left on a Facebook page, many social media users wondered what role, if any, the victims' faith played.

The victims were Muslims: Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23; Yusor Mohammad, 21; and Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19.

The narrative is that it was “terrorism”.

“The shooter appears to be an atheist.”

Atheism is a peaceful non-religion.

When ISIS tells you to report for “duty”, you better report for “duty”.

It’s a start. Hopefully they were “student leaders”.

It was a dental student, his wife and her sister and they appeared to have been lovely people.

I sure hope no one says “That’s a good start”. That would be so wrong.

It took 44 posts but someone did.

Anyone but me notice that the media has already decided to use his middle name? Don’t they usually only do that when they are talking about serial killers and assassins?

Seems they’ve already decided to treat this a certain way.

“Ibrahim Hooper, communications director for CAIR, said he has heard “unsubstantiated reports” from community members that the victims had previous interactions with Hicks, including a dispute about a parking spot.”

Flashback

Mohammad Taheri-azar, a 2005 UNC-Chapel Hill graduate, tried to kill multiple people with his SUV in the Pit at UNC and told the courtroom that he was “thankful for the opportunity to spread the will of Allah.”
When asked if he was trying to kill people, he said yes. He acted to “avenge the death of Muslims around the world.”

You mean that only sane people can see the details printed everywhere, and those details are invisible to those of us who are “nuts,” as you put it?

No offense, but it doesn’t work that way. If you’ve seen the missing information, please share it with the class, instead of suggesting that anyone who hasn’t seen it must be nuts.

More details will emerge for these Muslims be they real Muslims or phony baloney American converts. Will come out due to this fitting the media template of Muslims under siege in America by redneck tea-party types. The stooge media is compelled to run with this narrative.

Even though the killer seems to be yer garden variety deranged liberal. Since when has this ever mattered? (Gabby Giffords)

from link:

“... the man charged in these murders, Craig Hicks, shows a consistent theme of anti-religion and progressive causes. Included in his many Facebook “likes” are the Huffington Post, Rachel Maddow, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Freedom from Religion Foundation, Bill Nye “The Science Guy,” Neil deGrasse Tyson....”

The MSM’s dropping this story like a burning hot potato... Holder’s pulling back his stormtroopers and Obama’s gearing up the ‘random’ bullsh*t...

Once again progressives and their trolls - are the haters...
