Excuse me, but has anyone mentioned the concept yet that this is, at its most base level, a HATE crime?

There's a problem with that. The sniper, whoever he is, shot and killed people of more then one race. mafree knew one of the victims, I believe. He was black.

I believe he shot and killed two black people. In fact, the last victim was a black man, age 35. It was a hate crime alright, but not a hate crime against a race, but rather a nation.

Yes, mafree's friend was the 8th victim, I believe. Successful businessman, married, 6 kids. The last victim was the 35 year old black bus driver (almost 10 years with the company), married 2 kids. Other victims were married with kids. Damn the shooter to hell for randomly killing such innocent people and robbing those familes.

But did he kill any Muslims? Muslims are color blind, they see either brother or Infidel; guess which category the victims fell into?

[Freeper 007]

It's a religion hate crime, not a race hate crime. When they kept stressing how diverse the victims were, I kept thinking that no Muslims had been shot.

Well, understand, I'm trying to show the absurdity of "hate crime" law. These guys apparently hate America and what it stands for.

[KSCITYBOY]

The only hate crime here is that he hated America and Americans.

(Thanks for the ping) Three of the people killed and one of the wounded were Black males. I'm not sure what to make of all this right now.
