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.
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.
