3 Muslim students shot to death in apartment near UNC Chapel Hill

This story started as Freepers approving of the death of three strangers because they were Muslims. I found this a bit shocking, actually, since Freepers usually enjoy keeping their hatred either intensely personal or completely impersonal. Three random Muslims who had done nothing wrong was a new one.

Then it came out that the shooter was Atheist. This was before the whole parking rage angle came to light, so now you have 2 hateful groups talking over each other in true Freeper tradition, the ones gloating about the deaths and the ones trying to pin it on a liberal.

bert has a complicating rumor:

the victims were thought to be queer

Jacquerie blames the lack on Muslim purges:

I place blame on national/state governments that have done not only nothing to deal with the virus of islam, they have encouraged and abetted it.

It was only a matter of time until a nutcase committed murder.

Americans grow very weary of being told we must allow unhindered invasion by the third world and barbarian cultures.

wayoverontheright also finds the shooter both crazy and completely understandable:

People are angry. Kayla Mueller's death at the hands of these beasts may have angered more than one who feels frustrated that our leader(s) seem not to be angered one whit.

In his interrogation, I bet her name comes up.

Stentor thinks this was a fine execution-style tripple shoot of women and children:

anyone see my bag of “give a shi’ite?

I think the sheepdogs will be on lunch break.

Man, that smug bullcrap about sheep, wolves and sheepdogs is even more irritating than when Team America did it with dicks pussies and assholes.

Tupelo also approves:

I assume Craig Stephen Hicks is a white man or CNN would not have identified his victims.
In my opinion, Hicks was just taking a pre-emptive defensive action and probably deserves a medal.

Based on his history, I suspect muir_redwoods is actually sarcastic

I sure hope no one says “That’s a good start”. That would be so wrong

Sincere or not, SunkenCiv steps up:

It’s a start. Hopefully they were “student leaders”.

lavaroise considers the implications for Holy War:

Frankly religious wars have a different nature, more like a honest duel between equals.

However here we see Obama insitgating the feelings of inferiority to Christianity in Islam, just as he instigate the race card - or Stalin instigating Hitler in a pact of revenge for the humiliation of WWI.

Interestingly in this case they instigate the feelings of inferiority of depraved homosexual atheists against muslims, muslims being a sort of higher class of homosexuals.

Terry L Smith asks questions:

1. Were these ‘students’ American citizens?
2. Could these ‘students’ have been part of a ‘sleeper cell’?
3. The shooter declared, by inference, that mohammedanism is the spark of his actions.

GOPJ knows Freepers are boasters, not doers:

We don't shoot people because of their religion.

If anyone wants to kill ISIS muslim fighters they need to join the US Army and volunteer for ME action. Tea Party people don't kill their innocent neighbors because they happen to be Muslim... or Jewish... or Christian. It's NOT our way. The man who did the killings is a liberal progressive... and he's evil.

WayneS concentrates on making the shooter a liberal:

Chalk up three more under the “Killed by Atheists” column.

piasa is sure atheists can't hate Muslims extra:

He could just as easily shot up a synagogue or church as a mosque.

This is the sort of thing the Weather Underground was trying to spawn over race.

MrB thinks all Atheists are actually targeting him:

Another aspect of atheists and anti-religion zealots is that they really aren’t anti-religion, they’re anti-Christian.

This guy was a rare exception.

keats5 expects a coverup:

If the alleged killer was homosexual and the victims Muslim

we won’t hear anything else about this.

So much for that theory, after Obama released a statement. But Freepers have already moved on.

GOPJ has the real takeaway:

Liberals are nuts. Have you ever met one that wasn’t a liar?
