They committed the outrageous affront to his dignity by being Muslims with bright futures.

He was a pretty sickening stew of inferiority, envy, ignorance, and rage. I wish we could put whoever sold him all those guns on trial with him.

This was nothing more than a modern lynching of Muslims instead of black men.

It is the NRA and Fox that should be on trial.

I'm confident he will be found guilty and never see free air again.

As it should be.

I'm just trying to get into the mind of this asshole.

Plus we have to remember, it only takes one person in twelve to hang a jury, and if one in twelve people on a jury is anti-Muslim, the jury could be easily hung.

I rather suspect that while he was an asshole to everyone he was more of an asshole to these people in particular. It doesn't seem at all contradictory to me that someone can be a generally misanthropic and miserable person and more prejudiced against a particular subset of people than they are humanity in general.

(I live in Chapel Hill).

It will be interesting to see though whether his attorney tries to have the trial moved
out of Durham (presumably it will be in Durham County since that technically
is where the murders occurred even though Chapel Hill is in Orange County).
Both counties are among the most liberal in the state.
