You heard it here first!
Please don't go down this path. There is no reason to believe that this is a hate crime situation.
Why not? It is what it is.
BTW, "hate" has become, IMO, the most selfish, self-serving, used and over abused word in the English language. For instance, I really hate gophers, moles, fire ants and east Texas' summers. Does that make me a racist, bigoted "hater"?
No, but your writing makes you sound like a racist. We need to let this play out before jumping to conclusions that this is a racial issue.
Racist? Racial issue? Where did Old Gringo say anything about race? Muslim is not a race, it is a religion. It would be like saying Baptist means White. Sounds to me that you are the one preoccupied with race.
Easy there, pardners.
From the information available on the light conditions and time frame of the incident, Noor may not have known if he was shooting at a man or a woman - just someone who approached the car quickly in a relatively dark area just after "a loud noise" was heard.
I suspect what we're looking at is an overly anxious officer who took training that he could shoot when in reasonable fear of his life too far by waaay stretching out the reasonable part.
If this turns out to be the case, it will be another instance of what I call someone asking the wrong question: "Can I shoot in this situation," instead of "Is shooting the only reasonable way to protect innocent life?"
You're right. I shouldn't have replied as I did, as it could have just inflamed the conversation.
God Bless Texans and Texas.
