Bowles is President of the whole system, not specifically UNC-Chapel Hill. James Moeser is Chancellor of UNC-Chapel Hill

What part of that statement makes it sound intentional? It sounds like the student shouldn't have attacked the car driven by the Islamojihad by jumping on the hood of his car. Hopefully Johnny Islamojihad will sue the nasty attacker who was obviously acting on impulses of a hate crime.

Are we sure this poor man of Persian heritage was not abducted by the SUV before it decided to seek martyrdom in it's plunge into the crowd? Perhaps it planned to use this individual as cover for it's political agenda and to protect other SUVs in the cell.

The martyr SUV must have been guaranteed 72 mint SUVs in the afterlife.

This is a rerun of the DC Beltway sniper killings - but on a quick impulse by an NC grad who is radical Iranian Islamic creep

More attacks will follow

Don't forget the LAX killings and the EPS killings

Of course the OKC student bombing was not......

[dfwgator]

If the wackdoodle'd been driving a Yugo, it would've fallen apart the second it grazed the first person.

But he would have swerved to avoid some baby ducks......In a Yugo..... :)

The FBI is investigating this now. The report will explain that the SUV was made by a disgruntled white militia member...time to move on.

Peruse daily kos or DU. They have already started the chant of "We deserve it."

This was not a quick impulse.

This guy apparently rented this vehicle for this explicit purpose.

The perp had to ~thread~ his way through service access driveways to reach this brick courtyard area. Students here were not "pedestrians" (i.e., foot traffic). They were hanging out in the pit. Frisbees, chatting with friends, card tables with petitions, the odd juggler...that sort of thing. This was nothing like a sudden swerve off the road into passing foot traffic.

This might not have been a massive terrorist attack but it was a deliberate, planned attempt to murder students by driving into the middle of a crowd.

Off topic . Remember the Yale library bombing over two years ago ? That story disappeared "unsolved". I wonder why.

Your comment motivated me to have a look at Daily Kos, where I found this comment:

"It is only a matter of time before more of this happens in the US as a result of Bush and Cheney's egregious errors and lack of accountability for Abu Ghraib and Gitmo."

[Ditter]

We already have several p/ups and a hound dog so I guess the SUV has to go. Thanks for the advice. ;9)

Yes they do and I hope they get it.

I think you must have left off the sarcasm tag, or at least I hope you did.

Police evacutated the students living in this criminal's apartment house and the surrounding buildings and waited for legal permission to search his apartment.

They have been unable to locate one of his 2 roommates, so the search for more information is still going on.

Incidentally, he was a psychology major [quel surprise] who had graduated at the end of last semester, so why was he still here? Inquiring minds....

[syriacus]

I hope that Rebekah Marie Mcinnis,  his class partner last Fall, wasn't in the crowd.

Will Hillary be telling an ethnic joke about the Iranian student who drove an SUV through a crowd?

Clinton introduced a quote from Gandhi by saying, "He ran a gas station down in St. Louis."

I don't think the burned churches in Alabama are the result of TROP®. Mainly because this is not their M.O. and they would probably go after high-profile, TV-visible targets in more populated areas. Burning rural churches would at best result in a couple of slacker jihadis behind bars, and increased resistance to the jihad. No, when TROP® strikes, it will be spectacular and televised. The burned churches are most likely done by some drunken local ne'er-do-wells.
