This guy was just pissed about how shitty his life was turning out, so, like a Tea Partier, he decided to hold those who hadn't caused it accountable.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363187757246791754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-42474867001805375582015-03-04T14:05:47.209-05:002015-03-04T14:05:47.209-05:00Is "the left" the one's who are argu...Is "the left" the one's who are arguing that it was definitively an anti muslim hate crime? I haven't seen that. Most of the reports I've seen and the commentary too presumes he's just an ordinary gun nut/asshole/angry white male stuck in a declining social position, with heavy child support payments, and a chip on his shoulder about parking. This is so garden variety american that it doesn't rise to the level of needing any explanation at all. He's no different than the 101 other older white males who go strapped every day, looking for a reason to display their penis extenders to someone they want to frighten or hurt. Sometimes its women or minorities but quite often its other white people.<br /><br />The only people who are insisting this is specifically anti-muslim is the muslim community (not "the left") and they are entitled to have their own opinion about it since they are on the receiving end of discrimination in this country. They may be wrong about this guy but they are probably not often wrong.aimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956073425680585780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-39838572849510297012015-03-04T08:44:47.401-05:002015-03-04T08:44:47.401-05:00Hell, for all we know, he was watching an old 70&#...Hell, for all we know, he was watching an old 70's cop show, and saw Kojack pull his car into a No Parking Zone in front of a suspect's house, and lost it.<br /><br />The guy was a powder-keg with a very short fuse.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-63951794895302596582015-03-04T08:44:47.276-05:002015-03-04T08:44:47.276-05:00Hell, for all we know, he was watching an old 70&#...Hell, for all we know, he was watching an old 70's cop show, and saw Kojack pull his car into a No Parking Zone in front of a suspect's house, and lost it.<br /><br />The guy was a powder-keg with a very short fuse.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-14374134133846632592015-03-04T07:52:04.232-05:002015-03-04T07:52:04.232-05:00Nothing says this was a hate crime and everything ...Nothing says this was a hate crime and everything says it wasn't.

He was definitely on the way down economically and socially and, as you say, the financial judgment <i>on behalf of his children</i> must have been a last straw. He'd been stalking around for years with that gun in his belt looking for an excuse to use it.aimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956073425680585780noreply@blogger.com
