He yelled ‘Get out of my country,’ witnesses say, and then shot 2 men from India, killing one

By Mark Berman and Samantha Schmidt February 24 at 3:43 PM

Authorities in Kansas filed first-degree murder charges against a man accused of opening fire in a bar there, killing one Indian man, injuring two other people and causing fears about bigotry to reverberate across the globe.
According to witness accounts, the gunman reportedly told two of the people who were shot — both Indian men who work for Garmin, the technology firm — to “get out of my country” before opening fire and had also used racial slurs during the Wednesday evening shooting.....

The father of an Indian man who was shot and injured in a Kansas City bar believes the United States isn’t a safe place after the election of President Donald Trump, and has said parents should not send their children to the country.
Madasani Alok Reddy, 32, was recovering from his wounds after being shot by a former US Navy veteran, an attack eyewitnesses said could be racially motivated. Alok’s 32-year-old friend, Srinivas Kuchibhotla, was killed in the Austins Bar and Grill in Olathe......

Apparently Trump approves:

Donald Trump has not done much as president, but he has done this: He’s sent a clear signal to the country about who is worthy of empathy and concern—and protection—and who is not; about who deserves your outrage and indignation, and who doesn’t. Trump’s double standard is just another of the many ways he has told the American public that the lives and safety of immigrants and Muslims just don’t matter all that much.

Trump’s silence about two Indians shot in Kansas speaks volumes.

I think it's terrible and sad. Wackos are going to take whatever message they think they get and act on it. Fanatics scare me.

I really don't expect the President to immediately respond to every hate crime that happens in the entire U.S. There were some hate crimes near where I live over the past few years, that was big news locally, but the President at the time didn't respond to those either.

And to clarify, I didn't expect a response either.

It sure is funny-sad watching lefties trot out the "silence is consent" argument when they vehemently go the other way with sex law.

Remember Trumps messages about second amendment solutions and Hillary? They found a home with this guy.

Trump was serious. He put that message out there in the knowledge that it could well find a willing agent out there somewhere, while maintaining plausible deniability.

Thank you for your opinion. Unless he actually said that is what he meant when he said it, it is impossible for you to know that.

If he didn't do it intentionally, then he was reckless in the extreme.

Of course Trump is serious. People like him through out history have used the same tactic against minorities and in almost every case, if that person got power, it has ended very badly for that minority.

Yes it would be nice if we didn't have any crazy's among our population but, sadly, we do. I think we need to reopen some asylums and get back to putting these folks in them before they do damage.

Do you honestly think that had a man of Arab decent shot three white men while yelling Allah Akbar, Trump would be silent about it?

 

[nota bene]

Re: He yelled ‘Get out of my country,’ witnesses say, and then shot 2 men from India,

Trump did say in December of 2015 that "We need to kill their families."

In March of 2016 he amended and clarified: Trump Says He Never Pledged To Kill Family Members Of Terrorists | The Huffington Post

Just sharing what I've Googled and not commenting otherwise.

Trump brings out the worst in people. Intolerance, hatred and small minds is what he inspires.

exactly

Getting people the mental health they need is as stupid as securing our border or the American people deciding who should be allowed into our country. What is next. Plus these mentally ill people can be used to support our bias, prejudice, and stupid agendas. Why would we do anything that could prevent such atrocities.

Of course nothing that could possibly avoid such horrible actions in the future will be considered or done. Oh we can blame the gun, it's color, the type of bullets, or the magazine capacity. While these will support even more stupid agendas they will do nothing about the real problem. A mentally ill person is and always will be the problem.

This guy is telling people the USA is not safe and not to come here? And he is from India where gang raping teenage girls for punishing a family is actually legal... he can just leave thank you. India is a dump.

Very unlikely Donald Trump even had this incident on the list of terror atacks he claimed was not reported by the media.

MALMO, SWEDEN October, 2016
TARGET: No casualties; mosque and community center attacked with Molotov cocktail
ATTACKER: Syrian national


A Malmo court charged a man with arson but said it was not a terrorism offence.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...ted-terror-attacks-and-how-they-were-reported

Missing from the same list was cases like this terrorist atack in Sweden by a far right terrorist.

On 22 October 2015, 21-year-old Anton Lundin Pettersson attacked Kronan School in Trollhättan, Sweden, with a sword. He killed a teaching assistant and a male student, stabbed another male student and a teacher, and died later of the gunshot wounds he received during his apprehension.[1][2] The second teacher who was wounded died in hospital six weeks after the attack, on December 3.


The attack was Sweden's first deadly attack on a school since the 1961 Kungälv school shooting when one person was killed and six injured.[2] It is the deadliest attack on a school in Swedish history.[2] The initial police investigation concluded that Pettersson was motivated by racism and had chosen the school as his target due to its location in a neighbourhood with a high immigrant population.[3]

The more I read about these senseless shootings, the more I realize our country fails those few of us whose mental health has slipped beneath the waves. We should and could do much better. Why DID we close mental health hospitals? Today, more than ever, we need them. And we need easier procedures in place so that family and friends can step in and get people the help the need.

I think it's the latter. Trump, unfortunately, has no filter for his tongue. He just opens his mouth, and whatever he's been thinking about at the moment spills out.

Then we get a nutter with a gun who shoots someone for whatever twisted reason seems to make sense to him.

There are way too many nutters with guns in this country, as witness the number of senseless shootings.

Sounds like an asshole and if all is as reported, he should spend the rest of his life behind bars.

There's more profit in selling pills. Pills for everything from "moderate to sever plaque psoriasis" to "erectile dysfunction" are constantly being hawked on the airwaves, but no one is interested in the scuzzy looking guy wandering down the street talking to himself.
