The residents of the Washington D.C. area have plenty to worry about here lately. The so-called "Beltway Sniper" has murdered citizens as they go about the most mundane errands. Yet there is one thing they don't have to worry about: at least this sniper is not motivated by racial prejudice.
This warm-fuzziness is brought to us by the Washington Post. On October 4, after the first five victims had been gunned down in Montgomery County, Maryland, the they ran a story with the following headline: "Arbitrary Victims, Identical Fate" with the subhead, "County's Growing Diversity Reflected in Those Gunned Down."
This front-page article celebrates the diversity of the sniper's victims. It almost seems as if, failing to find a racial-hate motivation, the author needed to bring this good news to the readers. 'Yippee skippee! At least it's not a hate crime!'
Join me in informing the Washington Post that the murder of any person for any reason is horrible. Below is the contact information.

The Washington Post: Arbitrary Victims, Identical Fate
We have a white majority in this country, therefore serial killers are proportionately white. The press was caught up in the idea that these attacks were perpetrated by a young male white loner from day one. But we have had hispanic, black, and female serial killers in this country. This never looked like a crime of passion, and it looks like less of one now. FWIW, I think there's a 50/50 chance this guy has made his point and will now look to blend in for a while. If he hasn't already caught the first camel back to Sandland, that is.

From another thread: Mark Steyn They want to kill us all
‘We would have preferred to hit a US frigate, but no problem because they are all infidels.’
That's just lunatic talk.
No problem. They are all infidels.
Unlike Mr Fisk, I don’t have decades of expertise in the finer points of Islamic culture, so when people make certain statements and their acts conform to those statements I tend to take them at their word.Lethal to every person. It's lunatics following the Qur'an to the word of a lunatic that wrote it:
* “not to make friendships with Jews and Christians” [5:51]
* “kill the disbeliveers wherever we find them” [2:191]
* “fight and slay the Pagans, seize them, beleaguer them, and lie and wait for them in every stratagem” [9:5]
* “and fight them on until there is no more persecution, and religion becomes Allah’s in its entirety” [8:39]
What about the snipers profile? From: HEADS UP! IT'S TERRORISM TERROR IN THE BELTWAY
Finally the news is getting out, from eye-witnesses (who, by the way, the media informs us, are “usually wrong”—sure, that’s why eyewitness evidence carries such weigh in our courts), in this last case, a man driving a car who came face to face with the terrorists in the truck as he blocked their way with his vehicle preparing to make a turn. He said they were Middle Easterners. I believe him. The media even tried to tell us that the lighting at night made the “olive-skinned” be, in reality, white. As though we have never seen people in different lighting situations and are idiots.
The politically correct politicians and bureaucrats facilitated by a PC mainstream media, journalists, academics/professors and grade-school-curriculum indoctrination have been yanking people around, pushed and pulled here-and-there, by their emotional chains that when it comes to reality, of course many of the general public will act out of emotion rather than reason towards Middle Easterners.
The Internet out-competes the PC status quo:
And do not, I repeat, do not rely on the media to keep us informed past the minimal level. They are so busy repeating what they hear and suppressing the intelligence (white male, gun-nut) and ignore the majority of so-called experts who are telling us this is the work of some white kid who was abused by his dad and is “sick”. No kidding, they’re sick. They’re evil; they mean to destroy us and terror and violence are their trade. I don’t give a rat’s patoot about how they feel or what led them to do this.
Anyway, I'm glad this killer cares enough about the great PC god called di-VER-sity. Everyone in the Beltway area can sleep much better, I'm sure.
BTW, if anybody else was wondering: Because of the byline strike by the paper's unionized staff, the story did not carry a byline.
From the ComPost; well, well. This isn't the first time these maggots have created something from whole cloth; it is after all their stock in trade. Creating issues where there are none belies their stated purpose of being a NEWSpaper. It does support the notion that at least someone there has an axe to grind........against who or what? Probably us, freedom loving Americans.
Rant sent.

Killing Americans because they're Americans is a hate crime. I think its Islamic Jihad.
