Murdering 3 people over parking rules? just about as stupid as it gets

Cat does not look like a very sharp tool to me.



I would imagine parking was one of the most pressing issues in this losers life.

Was it racially motivated? His wife says no (shit... did that POS procreate?) I am not so sure. If this guy had an online presence, which I believe he did, his posts will be very telling as they come out.

The victims family noted that they have had many arguments in the past over parking, so lets go with parking and not stoop to race. The media will be more than happy to play the race card for us.

Sad day forsure...not sure if NC has the death penalty but Mr Hicks deserves it.

I hope you are right, I just find it hard to believe someone ends 3 peoples lives over a fucking parking space.

Then again, if this cat appears to have made lots of poor life choices.


The one thing that is blowing my mind is that he had a CC permit still, once he waved his gun at someone he should have been arrested and charged and had his permit revoked. That is a HUGE no no and one of the first things you learn when taking your CC course. You only pull a gun out to use it. Once you threaten with it, you are toast.

The fact that there were community meetings regarding this cat should have been enough for his permit to be revoked.

Whether it was over parking disputes or religious hatred, those are both equally egregious reasons to commit acts of violence. Fuck this guy.

This is stupid. The only reason this is even newsworthy is because someone shouted "hate crime" to garner media attention. This is just a cut and dry case of crazy person tragically kills three people.

So you're saying the cold blooded murder of 3 people isn't newsworthy unless it's a hate crime? That doesn't make sense.

Portland must be a pretty nice city. In places like Baltimore we call this type of incident [unfortunately] a near daily occurrence and no, we don't consider it news, we consider it a statistic. A good portion of the time victims of violence over disputes have a legitimate chance to just walk away from the situation, but decide to "man up" instead. Considering their history with Mr. Crazy, they would've known the dude was trouble... but I bet the son-in-law got tired of his shit and decided to "man up". As history tells us (as well as this story) "manning up" rarely works out for anyone involved in an altercation.

Is this a tragic story? Yes. But is it newsworthy? No. However, someone wanted this story in the limelight and decided to cry "Hate crime!", which seems to be the magic ringer for good publicity these days. When are people gonna figure out that "Deranged redneck dying to live out his 'self-defense' fantasies" != racist

Muslim is not a race, and yes Mrsleeve you are doing it right :) This story is only making it big because of their religion. There seems to be a big taboo regarding Muslims in the world. And now that 3 Muslim family members get shot in a red neck part of the country. The part of the country that is that "old country white folk". The media then spins it riling people by showing the 3 in traditional Muslim wear. Id doubt they were even shot in their traditional gear. Media begging for rating and in tern feeding the fire.
