April 19, 20179 yr You are so smart. Much appreciated SS, but it didn't take a MENSA mathemagician like me to see this one coming.
April 19, 20179 yr Yes. And really it's not about threadworthiness. This country has a murder problem. The biggest issue is there are several possible motives, and other background info about this particular killer, and the the title of thread focuses strictly on one, which makes the thread particularly inflammatory. There may have been other motives, what you seem to continue to look past is that when the thread was posted none of his background was in the story and little was known about the crimes other than the number of people shot and what he yelled. What is inflammatory, no where did anyone blame Islam or Muslims just pointing out what he yelled. The Shooter is the one that brought attention to his beliefs...not Mt Ref, BGP or anyone else.

I think you are completely off base and for some reason overly sensitive to this guy being a Muslim. He shouted what he shouted and that is what was reported in the story, hence the title of the thread. Talk about :deadhorse:
April 19, 20179 yr Does it matter? Nah. Don't matter. He pays his dues like everyone else. I say he should keep on doing what he's doing. Sometimes when I need a break from grading, I'll look at thread titles and see if I can guess the author. Fun game. I almost always get Ref's threads.
April 19, 20179 yr Author Here then. White 20 yr old guy runs over and kills 18 year old white wife. Not sure if he shouted anything or not. Man accused of running over, killing his wife, 18 | Lexington Herald Leader Edited April 19, 20179 yr by mountain ref

April 20, 20179 yr Here then. White 20 yr old guy runs over and kills 18 year old white wife. Not sure if he shouted anything or not. Man accused of running over, killing his wife, 18 | Lexington Herald Leader Why do we need the qualifiers. Does it matter that the killer is white, Muslim, green or blue??
April 20, 20179 yr There are roughly 40-50 murders every day in this country. Why are we only posting about the ones committed by a guy who is Muslim?? Are the others not as important?? Why do we need the qualifiers. Does it matter that the killer is white, Muslim, green or blue?? Great questions. Ask myself the same questions every time I see civil right rights leaders show up or rioting, looting and destruction only after certain crimes. So, I guess their answer, as well as the media, of which their cameras only appear after certain crimes, would be, yes, some must be more important than others.

Why do we need the qualifiers. Does it matter that the killer is white, Muslim, green or blue?? Well you wondered why I didn't post on average murders, so I did, and it's still not good enough. I couldn't find a green or blue one but when aliens get here I'm sure I will have a few green ones to report.
