These men bravely served their country, only to be killed in cold blood at home.

Disgusting.

Hard working individuals who stood up for what is right and spent their lives gaining wisdom slashed to death by a criminal scumbag who is shocking for the sake of being shocking and that believes that him simply being a white male means he should be at the head of the line.

(Full disclosure, I am a white male myself)

America's biggest problem right now is it's inability to see things for what they are. The media doesn't help much.

preaching to the choir.
Although some Muslims are white. But if they are wearing a hijab...

If they would just "git out of his country" things like this wouldn't happen.

"Those girls asked for it dressed the way they were."

"You're in America, so assimilate."

"Christian defended himself from three other men."

Deflect. Deflect. Deflect.

Deplorable.

so any deplorable act they do is just self defense. A lot of terrorists think this way.

K&R!

make sure the family of Rick Best knows that Rick did not die alone, and was surrounded with caring people who soothed him as he passed from this earth. OH.

Yes, that was a terrorist attack.

In these days and times, though, I do wonder if Mr. Kennedy is going to hear some foul, threatening noise from people like the murderer himself. Would you be surprised? Me either...hope not, though.

It's a bad day in The Neighborhood when I have to quote Mr. Rogers to console myself, but sometimes you have to go back to basics. After 9-11 he did a special broadcast just for parents on how to help their little ones through that dreadful time (basically turn off the damn tv until after the little ones go to bed). In his regular program he told his young audience that when he was little and something bad happened like a horrible accident on the freeway, his mother would say, "Look for the helpers" -- which in the case of 9-11 were the firefighters and masses of volunteers searching the rubble.

So, this. Michael Kennedy, who ran toward and not away. Who wanted to tell the family of Rick Best: "He did not die alone."

That brought me to tears. Just when I am ready to give up on humanity, I'm reminded of compassion and courage...

so many people. This seems to be the nature of humanity; capable of unspeakable horror and yet also extraordinary selflessness and compassion.

...and promote it, bear the FULL responsibility for this heinous act.

The other patrons must be curious about my tears.

We all lose something when a good man or woman is take early like this.

The Montana thug assaulting a reporter(and he still won), immigrants afraid to call police for fear of being deported, and now this. True heroes die while defending an immigrant. I dare the Donald to acknowledge the crime let alone admit it may have been influenced by him.

That was the killer's assumption

Anyway, the 3 people who tried to help are real heroes. I hope that others won't hesitate helping innocent victims of hate in the future. With the Donald in charge sowing an atmosphere of hate and violence I'm sure we'll see more of it in the future.

but one of the two young ladies isn't even Muslim. She's just black and American.

The attacker assumed they came from some other country and should go back.

I'm trying to keep that in mind.

She was just as bewildered as the rest of us at the hatred that creep began spewing at her, and feels guilty that 2 men are dead and one seriously injured because of her. She was extremely grateful because she said she'd probably be dead, but she's just shattered. I can't imagine having to process something like that, but she's a completely innocent victim in all of this.

I hate 45* for many things, but most of all I hate him for this, for creating a climate that makes the bigots and haters comfortable with lashing out. I hope everybody who isn't a hardcore Drumpfcultist who voted for that evil asshole because "they just couldn't vote for Hillary" has a Come to Jesus Moment because they played a part in this.

There's a shocking number of deplorables, weighing in that the killer did the right thing and that he must have been defending himself from the Muslims, so good for him. And, claiming that the killer was a Bernie supporter who hated Trump - which is probably as truthful as their self defense claim, which ALL the eyewitness testimony shows is blatantly false.

Obviously, online comments boards are a cesspool that overrepresent a small percentage of twisted people, but some of these comments were drawing 40-50 likes. There's an active group of truly sick people out there and I've looked through Youtube videos for 10 years - this is clearly a bigger phenomenon since Trump came on the scene.

they love to hide behind the felgercarbe, and when i call their bluff they come out yelling or other . tank you tank you dear sir for careing for the victoms who are silent keys because of this so and so. and why does murder always have to be the " final solution" who in the fuck made you god.?
