A Brooklyn man accused of murdering a 66-year-old professor after a war of words over immigration is claiming self-defense, his attorney said Friday.

Yes, of course, I am sure the professor attacked this poor Mirzo Atadzhanov, and he killed the professor in self defense.. (major sarcasm)

They actually expect someone to believe this.

Was the burglary self-defensive as well?

I don’t know and can’t say about this particular professor but there are plenty of them that need a good bludgeoning.

Of course, the left will defend the murderer. After all they think it’s perfectly fine to commit violence against anyone who says anything they don’t agree with or deem “hate”.

Careful, that might divide an alien family. Think of the children. I’m trying not to tear up at the thought.

Don’t overlook the uncontested statement that this Psychologist had a dual relationship with a patient. That is asking for trouble, no matter what the patient’s problem or religion. This story has a long untold history, trust me.

I tend to be on your side of the issue.

Which one is the most evil, the murderer or the indoctrinator that is helping to ruin this country.

In this case, I have zero sympathy for the deceased. The murderer should get a light jail sentence, say 3 or 4 weeks confinment with some over sexed hot babe with all the booze he can drink and then deported.

I have noticed that numerous killings (by shooting and other means) on the college level involve foreign born or “immigrants.”

Let's all hear it for Comrade Bill DeBlASSio, who supports illegal criminal invaders over legitimate citizens. It should only happen to him and his family. That would be perfect justice. You endanger us all by harboring these criminals who should have been instantly deported, then it's only fair that you and your own family become victims.

Actually I did, both times I read the story.

Where does it say that?

Defense: "My client was asked to do some electrical work and suddenly this left wing Canadian said something nasty about immigrants and attacked him!"

Prosecution: "The victim was working out in his home when this stranger broke in and attacked him!"

Likely truth: gay one-off goes wrong

“The New York Daily News reported that Safran, a Canadian, wasn’t satisfied with Atadzhanov’s work, complaining: ‘This country cannot benefit from immigrants.’”

I don’t understand all of the negativity toward the professor here. Apparently he is not an advocate of illegal immigration.

I’m not sure I buy the claim about what the professor said though. Does it make sense for him to make blanket statements against all immigrants when he himself is one?

Perhaps Atadzhanov was a legal, and therefore a bad, immigrant?

Self-defense against a post-modernist professor’s psycho-babling is an acceptable argument to me.
