[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question: if he was muslim (and equally as angry/hateful/unstable) and gunned down 3 promising sweet white kids who were going to be dentists - would anyone question whether it was a hate crime? wouldn't everyone jump to terrorism? even if the muslim guy's wife came out and said, no, wait, it was a dispute over a parking spot?

wouldn't this garner so much more attention?

all my muslim friends have posted about this and not a single other friend. it seems weird to me.

it's horrific gun violence - and makes the case for stricter gun control - but none of my gun control friends seem interested.

i appreciate jeff bringing up issues like this to be discussed and debated. it's sad to me that it didn't become an instant off-topic thread - so, it seems like the senseless death of 3 american muslims is more trivial and less interesting tahn 2 kids who get left in a car for an hour...

So to follow your logic, because it's possible (perhaps likely) that people would immediately assume hate crime if it had been a muslim perpetrator and white victims, we should automatically assume this case is also a hate crime? Yeah.[/quote]

just that we should apply the same standards to all cases - and question our own logic when we realize it would lead us another pathway if the races were swicthed around. sounds like the fbi is investigating it, based on the guy's FB feed. why does it bother you if it gets investigated as a hate crime?[/quote]
