He was still carrying the axe when he was apprehended.

A Viking going berzerk? Who would have thought it in this day and age! Surely not a ROP person!

Sarc /off.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Sounds like they need more axe control!

He is in no doubt that the crime was motivated by hatred.

Perhaps he just wanted to ax her a few questions first?

[ArmstedFragg]

Pretty amazing. Having no actual facts about the assailant, the first instinct of the management was to try to capitalize on the assault.

“We have more work to do” translates as ‘give us more money’.

He is in no doubt that the crime was motivated by hatred.

He drives an axe into her head.

Good guess, I'd say he was motivated by love

It seems that to some people the victim’s association with a homosexual organization seems more important than the axe whack to the head.

[353FMG]

The guy had an axe to grind. If you don’t believe me, axe the guy himself.

[freekitty]

But, but I thought only white Americans were the only race haters?

[skr]

Wow, instant motive! That’ll save all that time and expense on investigating the actual crime. Do they skip trials and go right to sentencing there, too? Can’t think that lawyers would be too happy about their lack of billing hours, although it must save taxpayers a lot of money.

“This clearly shows that the work done to counteract hate crimes has not been sufficient. More needs to be done. It is dreadful, really dreadful, when staff cannot feel safe at work,” he added.

- Society will NEVER be able to prevent madman attacks like these through education, manifestations or jurisdiction.

Organizations like the RFSL are probably well aware of this.

The statement above comes from a gay lobbyist who’s simply using this incident to get hold more money for his noble quest against Western Civilization.

There is no reason why normal, hard working citizens should bother about ‘gay rights’ and there is no reason why tax payers should finance their propaganda (like they do here in Sweden).

Time to ban axes?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Crime can happen to anyone.

[em2vn]

Any bets on ROP being involved in some way?

[WesternCulture]

Perhaps this berserk axeman is inspired by another Swede called the ‘Laser Man’:

"It's obvious that this can't be anything other than a hate crime directed at our organization," he said.'

By that logic, all black-on-White crimes are hate crimes--no other evidence needed. And vice-versa, of course.

I would strongly counsel against that standard of proof. Why? Just ask the Duke Lacrosse team.

[SmithL]

kinky

[Tzimisce]

Of course it’s a hate crime, she’s connected to a minority group.

[Savage Beast]

"struck in the head with an axe"

It wouldn't have been as bad if he had only wanted to steal her money???
