Man arrested after 3 shot to death in North Carolina
What are the chances that DU spouts chirstian-teabagger-hater-gunnut-killer?

4. looks like hate crime by an atheist
unfortunately... the shooter's facebook is full of atheist crap, he called himself a militant atheist and there is Barry love fest photos all over it...

5. Sadly, that looks quite likely
ANOTHER killer who just happens to be a leftist ****-stick!? What are the chances!? It's like saying, "A terrorrist!? Who's also a muslim!? Noooooo...."

7. Hard to believe
Why go after 3 people of what is obviously a minority religion in the area, with so many targets of opportunity that are Christian all over the place?
Something here doesn't fit...there is more to this that simple explanation!
Stay tuned...
Hey yeah.... goota be a false flag attack!
Also muslim backlash.

2. Placing my bet on anti-muslim hate crime. (Doesn't require the victims to be muslim, just enough that their names, and probably their features, are muslimish.)

3. So much hate and bigotry towards Muslims. We even see a lot of it here on DU day after day and the admins do NOTHING. Shame! So sick of it!
Are you guys proud?

14. hate and bigotry feeding upon itself
not just voluminous amounts of it spontaneously from individuals, but days of self-congratulating trollery with bigots and haters egging one another on. Now this has hit so close to home for me that the results of such hatred will never again seem like a hypothetical future consequence of the "open season on Muslims" attitude we've seen. It's real and present and dangerous
I guess they are refering to all the posts that came out afterthe Jordanian pilot was murdered... or after the American Leftist woman was murdered by ISIS.

26. People are outraged about the terrorists, but I haven't seen blatant generalizations to Muslims as a whole.

30. You saw people HERE trying to blame all Muslims for the jihadists? I too seem to have missed that.
Yeah... I don't think so.

43. you know very well that for at least a few weeks the General Forum was flooded with anti-Muslim posts and threads - you do know that. If that was not an avalanche of hate and bigotry - then hate and bigotry do not exist
there were a bunch that were anti-terrorist after Paris and the Jordanian pilot murder.

55. I think you're being intentionally obtuse - but just go back a review post from January 7 to 14
and you will find plenty - but you already know that. There certainly wasn't anybody who missed it
but here is just one of many:

****! another thread...
leftynyc (14,217 posts)
60. Uh - no
Just went through that ENTIRE thread and comments and didn't see what you claim is FLOODING this site. There was anti-jihadist and holy shit, who isn't anti isis?) but not one post that laid isis at the feet of all Muslims (which was your original claim). So you can call me disengaged, obtuse or whatever other thing but you still have not proved your point. At all.

45. Here's the sort of thing LGBT people put up with. I can show you dozens of links with ease...
""The openness and brazenness of the LBGT agenda and the media flaunting of gay marriages all across the country cost Dems dearly and threatens to do so in the future."
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025764803#post45
That poster is still on DU. So is the 'gay marriage is unthinkable to me because of the Bible' poster, the 'You gays have plenty of rights already' poster......
AHHH!!! TEH GHEYS!!!!!

63. Many here are as blind to their bigotry as Freepers are to their racism.
And arguing with them about it is going to be about as useful as arguing with a Freeper. Seriously, there are people in this thread saying that there's nothing wrong with claiming that the vast majority of recent terrorism comes from Muslims. that's because it does! Freepers say similar garbage about how there's nothing wrong with claiming that the majority of recent crime has been committed by minorities. Thats because it is! "I'm just reporting the facts" is the common defense of the bigot; never mind that the facts are often twisted and skewed to fit their distorted world view.
We have posters here creating topic after topic about scary Muslim criminals in Europe (complete with scary pictures of the individuals involved), and again, that kind of garbage gets defended as "just reporting the facts." Hey, the Willie Horton ad was just reporting the facts, so it wasn't racist, right?
Hell, we've even seen the right-wing trope that liberals are too PC to condemn the inherent violence in group thrown around here when it comes to Muslims.
When you refuse to accept the truth of a matter because it doesn't fit into your world view then the problem is with you- not the world.

Yeah.... no.

27. Because he WASNT a Christian, he was an atheist. If they knew each other, another story
That puts all the "terrorist" talk out the window. Have you got a link to an unbiased source? The OP link has an obvious bias
Biased source means anything that doesn't parrot Barry's talking points.

12. Lemme bust out my jump to conclusions mat.
Ya'll gonna need it.
So far it's been reported that he was an atheist with prior dealings with at least one of the victims.
Terrorism? Well, we can't just throw that word around because it breeds Islamaphobia and hate.
God rest the victims. So ****ed up.
Remember those Posters with Barry is SA uniform with the words saying "It isn't Fascism if we do it!". I think we need one which says "It's not terrorism when we do it!".

29. Fox viewer no doubt. Worthless piece of dog-shit. I hope someone kills him in prison. That'd be true justice.
Wolfie doesn't know the killer's FB page is full of Barry love.

37. I think it's irresponsible to call this shooter a "terrorist" until we get more information. If you had used the the "potential terrorist" then I would have no problem with that.

39. Can we rule out "patriot exercising his freedoms?" Sheesh. He's a terrorist.
"IT'S NOT TERRORISM WHEN WE DO IT!!!"
Douglas Carpenter (19,477 posts)
40. yeah, if it had been the other way around - I can't imagine anyone here jumping to conclusions
um... do you mean if the killer had alot of pro-christian posts on his FB and was a memeber of the local TEA party... OR... that the killer was muslim and all the victems were Jews? (like in Paris)

46. Why do we never refer to people wearing headscarves as "Americans" or International Students even though they reside in Chapel Hill and Raleigh? Because we only care about what religion they belong to? Are we to blindly follow Fox News on framing this point? Do we identify everyone in America by their religion? Am I to assume every person wearing a headscarf is a foreigner when I know this is false?
If they are American, why are they identified as Muslims as if this is more important than their rightful inclusion in American society as American students? If they are International students, why is their nationality irrelevant? I read two articles and nowhere does anyone identify these young people by their nationality, but only by their religion.
In the Charlie Hebdo stories, the victims were identified as French first, and then afterwards by their religious denomination - Jewish or Muslim or Atheist or Christian. Can we too stop making religion the most important thing about an American citizen shot in the USA, a supposed secular society?
This might be a hate crime, or it might be another multiple victim shooting incident such as happens daily in the USA. Apparently the victims knew their assailant.
says the people who hyphonate everything. African Americans, Muslin-African-Americans, Gay-Hispanic-Athiest-Americans... etc etc etc.

53. Wonder how FOXNews will play this. It's the lead story at ABC and second at CNN websites.
Don't have cable so I don't know how it is playing on TV at the moment. FOX will have to do some verbal gymnastics if they cover this at all.
Uh... Militant Athiest Kills 3 Muslims?
