1. Yep! i don't buy the parking spot story. I think it was about religion.

[In_The_Wind]

2. + 1

[HappyMe]

4. Absolutely.

Hate crime.

[whathehell]

22. But, but..He wasn't a Christian..He was an Atheist, so how could that be?!?

[hrmjustin]

23. I notice some are trying to play that down.

[whathehell]

24. You bet they are!

3. I call his behavior terrorism

since a hack of target is now called terrorism

[blm]

5. Apparently he hated ALL religions, lumping peaceful participants with violent extremists.

Perhaps he saw these students as more 'acceptable' targets in this country.

May their kind souls rest.

6. Here's an idea...

If you tell the police that you shot three people because they were Muslim, you get a needle in your arm...but if you tell them that you murdered three people because they parked in your space...you get to wear a jacket with long arms and a belt and spend the rest of your life in a padded cell!

9. Winner

Yep

7. He may have believed the propaganda that religion is the cause of most evil in the world.

Religion isn't helpful – but the cause of evil in the world is bigotry, hate, greed and selfishness, which he apparently had in abundance.

A regular social media user, his last three posts were a cute dog video about the Pavlov effect, a viral advert for Air New Zealand involving mountain bikes, and a picture from United Atheists of America asking “why radical Christians and radical Muslims are so opposed to each others’ influence when they agree about so many ideological issues”.

TV programmes liked by Hicks include The Atheist Experience, Criminal Minds and Friends, while he describes himself as a fan of Thomas Paine’s The Age of Reason and Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion.

8. Hate crime

I agree with the bereaved father, this has hate crime written all over it. What a horror story. These young people were just trying to get an education.

This story is one of those that just internally hurts, even not knowing those murdered.

10. Hate crime, all evidence points to it....the sudden appearance of excuses to deflect from that is sad.

The university said Deah Bakarat, 22, was a second-year student at its dentistry school and his wife was planning on starting there in the next school year, while her sister was a student at North Carolina State University. Deah's wife listed herself on Facebook as a student at North Carolina State University.

11. Call him what he is; atheist murderer.

[nc4bo]

12. Hate to say it, I really really do but this sounds closer to the truth.

I still hope I'm mistaken.

16. What specifically does a cage have to do with these particular deaths?

17. I have alerted. If this stays up......

Well, that was nicely fast.

Except 6 - 1 vote.

One wrote "I love the smell of dark snark in the morning." I am not making that up, fucker who wrote that needs a visit from MIRT.

Or unplugging from Fox.

14. It's not surprising that some people so insistent on the parking spot explanation

Are also 1) gun nut shitheads and 2) anti-Islamic bigoted assholes.

The pattern's been fairly clear all over the Internet, including, ahem, close to home.

[Fred Sanders]

15. See post # 13, not even an attempt to hide it.

Guns and bigoted xenophobes driven by the madness of the mass media, deadly combination for Muslims.

Unbelievable except it is true.

[annabanana]

18. The killer went out to kill Muslims. . all this crap about

"no motive has been cited" is just treading water, trying to find some other way of talking about it.

[Fred Sanders]

19. I had one guy respond by commenting that CAIR should "fuck off " for calling this perhaps a hate crime.

Yes, on DU.

I did not alert, I want folks to see this long time member's opinions.

20. For whatever reason this deranged individual

took the lives of three innocent people in an incredibly gruesome and deliberate manner. Dead is dead. A prison cell will be his new home and if parking was ever a problem, which I doubt, he won't have to worry about it anymore because he isn't going anywhere.

21. The Right HATES the term "Hate Crime" because they operate on hate.
