this guy was one of those classic walking time bombs, but it probably didn't help the victims that they were Moslems.

the problem is and will continue to be with that cretin racism and hatred with a big gob of bigotry thrown in for good measure. I'm sure the misogyny runs deep in that murderer too.

Having said that, it's hard to imagine a circumstance, outside of insanity, where a perpetrator of this crime should get preferential treatment. In short, the idea of differentiating "hate crimes" makes no sense to me. Is this guy a better person if he killed them over a parking space? Thought crime is a dangerous notion to mess with.

I googled it and came across this site. He listed a bunch from a Google search.

(Ps. I don't vouch for this website. I only posted for convenience)

It's very common.

Hell, somebody in chicago just had brake lines cut for parking in a shoveled spot.

and a long history of bullying his neighbors wherever he's lived.

However, yes, this was most likely a hate crime, the piece of putrefaction thinking that nobody would miss 3 Muslims.

Parking, my flabby old white ass.
