Man charged with murder for charging teen with SUV outside Kansas City mosque

Other people have advocated mass murder and incited rebellion and haven't been charged, nor committed.

:lamo

When it's making threats against muslims, suddenly **** like due process and burden of proof matters. I love conservatives.
 
Not the world, just the IRS. :lol:

Be honest here, if the driver of the SUV had been some white dude with TEA party connections, you don't think there'd be those on the left who'd try to make political hay out of it?

It's hard to say because there hasn't really been a case, has there? I can't think of one off the top of my head of a tea-party guy rampaging.

For me, as long as the guy is indicted (or at least charged), that's the end of it. For instance, my big thing on Zimmerman was that he was tried. It took them a while to levy charges, and that gave people time to get fired up. But once the dust settled, the story was over.

This guy wasn't charged either. What exactly is your point?

You're saying that he could be charged. You've haven't answered the question as to what he could be charged with.

Yeah, **** all that due process stuff, huh?
 
It's difficult to speculate what his motivation was - whether tribal, religious or "other". I'm wondering what type of Christianity they are teaching in Somalia.

They are teaching evangelical christianity, the same evangelical christianity that is practiced here by millions. Somali converts, however, probably practice evangelical christianity with the same cultural background that they practice Islam- insults to honor must be answered fast and furiously, loyalty to family, clan and religion (either old or new) is everything.
I wonder how much of this was religious and how much was inspired by tribal differences.

My guess is quite alot. The below is standard operating procedure for Somalia, 2014. As a side note, it was also standard operating procedure for southeren Appalachia prior to 1900.
Notice his upfront and probably completely truthful admission. In his mind, his actions were perfectly reasonable and I doubt he feels he commited a crime (even with the mistaken identity)

The driver of the SUV, Ahmed H. Aden, a 34-year-old Kansas City truck driver, told police after his arrest that he had been searching for men who’d threatened him nine days earlier. And he said he planned to kill those men if he found them, according to court records. Aden told police that he intentionally struck Abdisamad, but he had mistaken the teen for one of the men who had threatened him.

Yes there is some irony there.

I could not help but notice though, Obama's people are already investigating him for hate crimes- despite some indications that it was a cultural / personal dispute that escalated towards an innocent victim.

Of course, when black thugs targeted a strangely disproportionate number of jews for the "knock out game", killed a soldier after identifying him as white at Fort Lewis, and then beat another white to death with hammers in the same area of Fergurson, we were all cautioned that the motives of the attackers were unknown, or were just ordinary street crimes and that links to the race of the victims were "coincidental"- yeah right.
