Hate crime laws were expanded so as to criminalize everything a Christian says or does in any situation where there is an ROP member within 100 feet.

Ham sandwiches.
Bacon.

The death of the three individuals is a tragedy and a crime. The group they are a part of is another subject.

Let’s face it, Muslims as a whole have a bad reputation when it comes to human rights. Some Muslims in this country are killers or wannabe killers because of their religion’s unique beliefs. There may be killings to revenge the three students’ murders.

The solution to the Muslim violence problem requires that peacful Muslims speak up against and help us eliminate the fanatics. I believe they never will because (a) some of them, while peaceful themselves, support the fanatics, and (b) the peaceful ones would risk their lives to speak or act publicly against the fanatics.

It’s a tough problem.

Hicks should be charged with first degree murder, not with “hate crimes.” Nobody should be charged with “hate crimes,” because the whole notion creates a protected class of citizens who are preferentially treated by the law.

Is the NC media reporting the murder victim’s Twitter accounts??

A friend bought a condo in the City of Miami. Miami’s regulations require a parking space for each condo unit. The builders were in compliance, but each parking space was three feet wide. :-/

Sorry for the delay - no, the media is *not* mentioning the victim's twitter accounts.

But, over the past couple days, the story has dropped off the radar. I'm thinking that there are a good many people in the media who are thinking, "The less said about this, the better."

Pretty obvious that at least the man who was killed, wasn't one of the good guys.
