[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only person that considers the possibility he was drunk? Wouldn't count out an anti-Muslim bias, but would go some ways to explaining the extraordinary escalation of confronting a fairly large group of teenagers and then kidnapping/beating/killing one of them.

Yeah.  Drunk, high - something caused an explosive reaction in him.[/quote]

- or a prejudiced/ Islamophobic reaction.[/quote]

I've never heard of the "Islamaphobic" reaction you're talking about.  See a girl in a hijab or abaya and kill her?

This sounds more like random violence than anything else, but as more details come out. we'll know more.  [/quote]

I have known Muslim women who were doing nothing except grocery shopping, or browsing in a bookstore, or ordering coffee at Starbucks, who were harasses out of nowhere to "go back to your country" (despite these women being American born). It's not unfathomable to see random harassment, to random violence.

Also, remember 9/11? Remember backlash against Muslim and Sikh people, who were just going about their business? Many were attacked, had their businesses trashed, or even killed. For doing nothing except sharing a very broad label with some awful people, but stupid dipshits had a fear of random Muslims and decided to attack them.

Sorry, I see a big difference between people acting badly, harassing or threatening a woman in a hijab versus killing her.  I think one is bad behavior, possibly criminal, and the other is homicidal.

It's possible that this killing was only motivated by Islamophobia, but currently it doesn't seem that way.[/quote]

I don't.

I see it in the same vein of reactionary hatred, albeit more severe. [/quote]

Same here.  The more details they release, the more this sounds like a hate crime.[/quote]
