That's enough Lemmy for today.
Why are so many comments raging against conservatives? Not just in this post but in others too. The article doesn't mention political allegiance. Where does politics come into it?
Edit: lol, a few downvotes but no answers. Come on, enlighten me. I'm not American, and I feel out the loop.
Generally speaking its usually conservatives who freak the fuck out about muslims. Especially since its an older guy who was probably being fed conservative propaganda via talk radio and fox news. They have a noted history of dehumanizing anyone who well I cant give a good example other than saying those they "other" pretty hard to give a non broad definition when the old rule of thumb of them going after non WASPs is becoming less of a rule itself.
Also generally speaking when crimes like this happen with more liberal or left leaning folks its completely scattershot on who they target. Or its against a known factor who they had a grudge against.
Mind you I aint saying if this guy was conservative or not who knows maybe he's devolopt fucking Dementia and got taken back to the immediate aftermath of 9/11 and promptly had a fucking mental break.
