Then why are they posting it over and over in unrelated threads?

Infohawk, you should be ashamed to play the obfuscation game, you have sunk as low as PJ or cad or something.
The place he volunteered for was a Christian "outreach" by the way.

You come out and say that someone said it was okay to stab this Muslim because of the black-on-white violence in Iowa. I asked for proof. You didn't have any and now you're deflecting. Why should anyone take you seriously?

The question is why anyone should take you guys seriously with such a flawed unamerican reactionary viewpoint, what is even more stupid is that anyone is even rationally thinking of lumping a large group of fellow Americans into being violent killers. (or coming into a thread posting about teenagers to damage control the situation for obvious political hackery reasons and stir up MORE white outrage.)

You are usually rational, snap out of it.

Quote:

The Daily News also reports that cops found a diary on Enright that was filled with anti-Muslim rantings:

When he was arrested Tuesday in midtown, Enright had a personal diary filled with pages of "pretty strong anti-Muslim comments," a police source said.

The source said Enright's journal equated Muslims with "killers, ungrateful for the help they were being offered, filthy murderers without a conscience."

So. He's a complicated character. Possible alcoholism, possible PTSD.


It's looking more like PTSD. I wonder if the anti-muslim diary was started during or after his stay Afghanistan.

Well before he was accused of slashing a Muslim cab driver across the neck, Michael Enright, the 21-year-old college student now charged with the crime, preoccupied his time, almost obsessively, with exploring post-traumatic stress disorder.
...
Now implicated in a bizarre, seemingly racially motivated attack on an unsuspecting cab driver, those who either knew Enright or consulted with him are waking to the belief that he may have been suffering from PTSD himself.
...
Michael Anthony, an Iraq war veteran, told the Huffington Post on Thursday that Enright reached out to him last year to discuss an advanced copy of his own book: "Mass Casualties: A Young Medic's True Story of Death, Deception, and Dishonor in Iraq.'"
...
"There were zero hints of any prejudice or bigotry," Anthony said of those talks. "He was just a good guy trying to help vets."

"That's the crazy part," he added. "We had talked about these issues and he was clearly not racist at all and then next thing I know, he is back from Afghanistan and this happens. I don't know if he got PTSD, but that is the only thing I can think of that could change someone that drastically in a short period of time."

It's a real stretch to link this kid to the tea party at this point. As far as that FB likes to the republican politician, no one knows why he had that link. Could be that his parents know the politician or he helped the kid get imbedded in Afghanistan.

You're still deflecting from the fact that you misrepresented other threads. Why did you say people came in and excused this attempted crime with the Iowa stuff when in fact they didn't?

Then what other purpose would it serve cross posting if you want to go the "play stupid" route?

Huh? You're barely coherent. You're the one coming in here cross-posting about the Iowa story. But now that you can't back your lies up you're claiming you don't want to cross-post up. Anyway, I'm done feeding a troll. There's a reason your thread was locked.

People have only been posting since page 1 about the Iowa thing, not I.

Just saying it's damn transparent, I guess for you guys lets hope something outrages the haters enough to forget this inconvenient event.

You guys freaking out and trying to kill the messenger to back up your bigotry looks pretty low.

But hey, it is you guys that backed yourselves into the corner by buying into black and white demagoguery of fellow Americans, I am sure some part of your egos are outraged at being called out. Sorry to hear it, keep the rage and blindness up though. It is just makes your mistakes more transparent the deeper you dig this hole.

A city cab driver is in the hospital after being stabbed by a passenger who allegedly asked if he was Muslim, police tell NY1.

Investigators with the New York City Police Department say it all began Monday night when a 21-year-old man hailed a cab at 24th Street and Second Avenue in Manhattan.

Police say the passenger asked the driver, "Are you Muslim?" When the driver said yes the passenger pulled a knife and slashed him in the throat, arm and lip.

The 43-year-old driver was able to lock the passenger in the back of the cab and call 911.

Both the driver and the passenger were taken to Bellevue Hospital.

Great job stirring up hate wingnuts!

Unlike you, at least the poor bastard still has his head attached. :p
