Note that this was a US citizen and not an illegal immigrant. So when is this shit gonna end?

My goodness had this been a Muslim shooting a good old boy... this would be running 24/7 on the news. Darned mainstream liberal media...

Its just violent white people. Thats been the normal for hundreds of years.

So people from India now are targets? It's 3rd person in a few days.

He was on his own driveway washing his car and was shot?

Just see how much hatred Trump already bring to us since he runs for POTUS.

Oh, it's OK. Anarchists at some Trump rallies were really mean to a handful of Trump-supporting snowflakes.

So it balances out. Never forget that angry hard-left anarchists are always far worse than murderous Trump-supporting bigots.

Another Trump fanatic doing the lord's work.

Singh said the man's family told him that he was in his driveway Friday when the other man approached, asking something along the lines of "why are you cleaning your car?"

My guess is that it was not a hate crime but eco-terrorism that also contained race-based comments. Many places in Washington are very vigilant about residents washing their cars in their driveways as the storm sewers drain directly into lakes. If you do not use soap that is fish and wildlife safe, you are damaging the environment.

Obviously that isn't a reason to shoot anybody.

Even if the Sikh man dumps auto oil into the sewage, not just washing car using non eco friendly soap, the gunman should have report it, instead bring a gun with him and shoot the guy.

It's hard to believe it's not a hate crime if the gunman yelled "go back to your country".

This is an atrocious and inhumane act which cannot be justified by any measure, nor should such justification even be joked about.

The path to limiting this behavior is in demonstrating our disgust at the action. No amount of anger or forcible punishment will be an effective deterrent. Even racist bigots struggle to maintain an attitude of righteousness when met with a display of genuine horror from their peers.

We should not normalize or joke about the taking of human life.

The sad thing is Sikhs aren't even Muslims. But they're still towel heads so who cares right. More ignorance please from the Trump gallery.

I think a crime turning racial might be separate from a hate crime. Potentially.

And I agree with your point. I personally wouldn't have accosted him in a manner even if he was illegally dumping in any way that could have turned violent. And I doubt the victim was belligerent in his response to the shooter.

your guess is stupid.

Why hasn't Der Trump come out and publicly denounced this racist of his? Why does MAGA equal deport or kill all brown skinned Americans to Trump and his supporters?

Not even remotely in the same vein as how my comment should have been read or understood. I would think your level of education would preclude you from such alarming misinterpretations.

Anyone who thinks Sikhs are terrorists of any sort (eco or otherwise) know nothing about the world outside of their local Walmart.

It's an analogous apology/excuse which is actually somewhat in your favor because at least it doesn't somehow implicate eco-leftists or whatever.

It is still unclear if he was an eco-terrorists / radical environmentalist, or a member of the racial based hate group. I am not educated enough to eliminate the possibilities absent any evidence though. I leave that to the smart people.

but you're clearly ignorant enough to throw out that ridiculous eco-terrorist bullshit, when the guy actually said "go back to your country"
DERP.
lemme guess, you'd cite fox news as a fair and credible news source.

Conversation started with, "why are you washing your car..."

This happened in Washington, where street and driveway car washing is SEVERELY frowned upon.

edit: it could have escalated to a "go back to your country" because, it's possible he did recognize him as an Indian, and well, water pollution in India is pretty bad....

Eco-terrorism / radical environmentalism are not people who damage the environment, but people who resort to violence to protect it.

Somebody shooting somebody over storm sewer runoff and telling them to go back to their country which ranks among the highest for water pollution would be an example of an eco-terrorist.
