Haq allegedly shot woman, then chased her up stairs, killed her

2006-08-03

When a gunman opened fire on women at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle last Friday, he announced the shootings were intended to make a statement. Prosecutors who charged Naveed Afzal Haq on Wednesday say he did: Hate.

Haq, 30, was charged with nine felonies, including aggravated first-degree murder, five counts of attempted murder, kidnapping, burglary and malicious harassment, the state's hate-crime law. "Make no mistake, this was a hate crime," King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng said Wednesday as he announced the charges during a news conference.

The charges provide chilling details of the shooting spree in which one woman was killed and five others were wounded. Prosecutors allege that Haq shot Pamela Waechter in the chest and then followed the wounded woman as she fled up some stairs. At the top, Haq allegedly reached over the railing and shot her again, killing her.

#7 Hmm... there was the guy who made himself so fat on prison food (I hear that prisoners in WA prisons get very good chow) that they communted his sentence to life because they were afraid he might suffer when they hung him.

I think this same guy (not sure about this) then got a free liver transplant at government expense.

Hell we can't even snuff out the Green River Killer .

#6 Maleng said Haq had identified himself as an "American Muslim," although friends have said he is a convert to Christianity. His family is deeply involved in Islam in the Tri-Cities area.

Mahmoud (under questioning): "Uh, yeah, copper, he converted just late last night. Me and the boyz here's saw him do it."

Cop: "You mean he converted to Christianity just yesterday, and was worried about Muslims in the Middle East today?"

Ahmed: "Don't try to think like us. We're superior ya know. He converted to be an Amish man. Ya know, those Amish are some crazy folk. Blow themselves up with ~~Jooos~~ others too."

#3 Haq,
I think you'd be astonished at how many people now know about 'your point of view'.

I think you'd be even more astonished at finding out what we think about 'your point of view', hint: It's not what you think it might be.

And I think that you're going to be waaay astonished at what 'we' may end up doing about 'your point of view'. Here's a clue; bottled sunshine.

You may even get to live to see it happen, what with the way that death penalties tend to get elongated in certain areas of the US.

So in summary Haq, be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.
