I expect to read about stuff like this in a developing country that has a weak government. NOT America.

I grieve with her family, her loss can never be measured. I fear for our Islam community in America. There are just too many animals out there with easy access to guns and Foxnews.

An awesome, smart, beautiful young woman with all the potential in the world to contribute to her future family and to society. Innocent, empowered and - I'll repeat - smart. Life cut short by a vile creature no better than ISIS.

He'll never see freedom again. He will probably see the death penalty, unless he pleads guilty.

Also, I don't believe the "parking dispute" story one bit.

reinforcing the claim that this crime was "not racially motivated. Just like she did when Matthew Shepard was murdered but she publicly claimed that his dying was "accidental as a result of a robbery." Unbelievable.

I've read that the executioner has a concealed carry permit, apparently making him a "good guy with a gun" by NRA standards.

How many will it strike today?

On edit:

Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, who has described himself as a "gun-toting" atheist, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder. Neighbors said Wednesday that he frequently seemed angry and confrontational. His ex-wife said he was obsessed with the shooting-rampage movie "Falling Down."

The guy was not a Christian, but very much an athiest. So Christians had nothing to do with the murder.

No Easy Blame on this one......Tragic and makes us look deeper into ourselves....

Atheist, Gay Supporting guy who is awaiting his degree in ParaLegal in May.. who works at local Grocery Chain where he is commended and is considered a Progressive in his "Facebook" posts and Loves His Guns...but says he's not for killing Muslims, Jews, Gays or Anyone else for their religion or sexual preferences... and even has a nasty cartoon trashing the website "FreeRepublic" on his Facebook.

It is a very complicated situation. Did he have other long term issues and snapped? An Atheist and not a Southern Fundie Christian with Muslim Hate or anything else that would tie him to "Hate Groups" on his "Facebook" and applauded by his employer....but suddenly FREAKS OUT...and EXECUTES three people in his Condo Complex over a Parking Dispute?

So much doesn't add up about this. And, that means that we need to dig deeper and further as to how and why he did this terrible thing.

No easy answers ....so far.

Hicks burns in the hell he doesn't believe in, either here or in the hereafter, I don't care which. And may his name and memory be erased. His life is not worth even ONE of these beautiful ones he took.

However, it was only the neighbors in Muslim garb that he shot execution style.
