The indictment against Adam Purinton, 52, comes after a 22 February shooting at Austins Bar and Grill in Olathe, Kansas. Witnesses have said Purinton, who is white, yelled get out of my country at two 32-year-old Indian nationals, Srinivas Kuchibhotla and Alok Madasani, before he began shooting. Kuchibhotla died and Madasani was injured. A third man, Ian Grillot, was wounded when he tried to intervene.
The shooting raised fears of more attacks on immigrants following Donald Trumps election and his push for a ban on immigrants from some countries. Officials in India also expressed concern about their citizens safety in the US, where many work.

supremacist Trump supporters to go up and tell brown-skinned people to 'go back to your own country' is fucking scary.
Fucking scary.
Because these 'white-christian' fanatics are EVERY BIT as dangerous to everything we stand for as any Muslim zealot.

I can tell you that everyone around here is extremely happy this POS was indicted. He will be convicted and the already strapped State of Kansas will have to support him until he croaks.
