From ABC News
The FBI's main suspect, an African-American security guard named Gerald Wallace, had already admitted he was the one who called a Miami-area mosque to declare, "I'm gonna kill you," but investigators were still shocked by what they found on Wallace's phone during their interview with him two years ago.
Wallace -- a 35-year-old black man -- had called the Ku Klux Klan over and over again because, he told investigators, "I do like what they're saying."
"What is the part that you like about their message?" a detective from the City of Miami Gardens Police Department wanted to know.
"What they say about Islam," Wallace insisted. "I hate [Muslims]."
Wallace's "odd" case would be "comical" -- "like something out of a 'Chappelle's Show' skit" -- if it weren't so "troubling," a U.S. prosecutor later told a federal judge, alluding to the Comedy Central character Clayton Bigsby, a white supremacist who didn't realize he was African-American because he was blind.
COMMENT:-
"Bent" is "bent" is "bent".
However, the real question is "Is 'bent' so usual as to have become 'normalized'?"
