it is not the first time three people have been killed by one or more killers. treat it as what it is and give up the hysteria and speculation as to who the killers are in terms of ethnicity/religion etc and treat them as common criminals. without the over the top media hysteria.

peculiar how the slaughter of innocents via drones draws not a whit of hysteria in the US media...since the butchered people are not americans of course

We just hope they were isolated and that there aren't more around just like them. We also hope the second one is caught alive and sings like a wee birdie.

What we don't do is get suspicious of anyone with an accent.

The younger brother that is on the run is a U.S. citizen, and has been here for at least ten years. Our xenophobia is destructive.
