http://abcnews.go.com/US/tampa-man-arrested-allegedly-killing-neo-nazi-roommates/story?id=47564558Tampa police are investigating after a man allegedly admitted to killing his two roommates because he believes they disrespected his Muslim faith.
Devon Arthurs, 18, was arrested Friday and faces two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated assault and three counts of armed kidnapping.
Around 5:29 p.m. local time on May 19, Arthurs entered Green Planet Smoke Shop in Tampa armed with a black semiautomatic pistol, according to a police report on the incident. He allegedly demanded that the employee and one customer who were in the store at the time get on the ground as he pointed the gun at one of the captives.
"Why shouldn't I kill you?" one victim says Arthurs yelled while holding them captive, according to the police report.

(1,819 posts)1. That is a really bizarre story
4 neo Nazis living together one making bombs and the other converts to Islam and kills two of the other roommates.
They all sound mentally ill.

People who are inclined toward wanting to harm others will latch onto whatever absurd ideological justification that happens by.
It's what we consistently fail to recognize by dividing up terrorists into classifications of "people who believe X, Y, or Z". Whatever belief system they profess is entirely beside the point of what sorts of things they are inclined to do.
