St. Louis Bosnians on edge after hammer death
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | December 2, 2014 | ALAN SCHER ZAGIER

A recent hammer attack that killed a 32-year-old immigrant has members of St. Louis' sizable Bosnian community embracing some of the same tactics as Ferguson protesters — albeit in hopes of attracting a stronger police presence rather than opposing it.

"Speculation that this attack had anything to do with the Ferguson protests is absolutely unfounded,"


Wonder if the St. Louis Rams will come out holding hammers at the game next week.

I’m sure they will. A hammer will also replace the gavel in many courtrooms, and the senate.

Amazing how the authorities can devine racism in one case where there is no evidence and completely discount it in another where plenty of evidence exists.

Amazing.

Yeah, it could have been “workplace violence”.

Maybe the Congressional White Caucus will appear on the floor of the House holding up hammers tomorrow.

“on edge”

They’re edgy about possibly being beaten to death by feral youths armed with framing hammers and preternatural speed and strength?

Well yeah Captain Obvious, I would say so, since this killing looks more like a FearNet zombie movie than your garden variety heinous ghetto crime.

They didn’t know he was Bosnian, and they didn’t care. They just knew he was white. Trying to make this sound anti-Bosnian is a truly desperate press ploy to minimize fears and anger.

‘Race’ is the great delusion of our age. Not unlike flat earth and dragon beliefs in days of old. Posterity will laugh at the ridiculousness of modern western beliefs about race that prevail today.

Increased police presence will only increase arrest rates for the refugee Bosnian community. Instead, they should take advantage of the 2nd Amendment.

The crowd was chanting “Bosnia lives matter. “

This is so ironic because we want the US not to become Balkanized. He has been here for years. Would he not consider himself American by now? Those others, would they not agree they came to the US because we are equal to each other. And it is not that black lives matter, or Bosnian lives matter, or even that American lives matter. Life is sacred, a gift from God, therefore all lives matter.

And that the poor deceased man (whose youthful picture with his young wife tear at my heart), he probably was Muslim. I hope this does not break open a new civil war between Bosnian Muslims and (marginal) Baptist ( guessing) Blacks.

Like there is no hate crime, a crime is a crime, and should not merit more retribution by the political favoring of the victim, this was a crime certainly of blind retribution for all who do not match the offensive color profile of the assailants.

Zabogem (God in Serbo_Croation) Our Zabogem, we hear the words of Issiah:

They shall beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks;
One nation shall not raise the sword against another,
nor shall they train for war again.

Please bring peace.

And a laughable attempt it is, too.

Well, picking on the Bosnian community may not have been the brightest idea.
