#1 Thought Enright was drunk at the time. The term "hate crime" has become so politicized. Sometimes "hate crime" is used and sometimes it is not--use seems to be somewhat whimsical depending on the politics of the time. We had a heinous crime in Knoxville where 4 African-Americans thugs; some with a previous record, both raped and murdered a young white couple. The young man was raped, killed and set on fire. The young girl was raped, tortured and stuffed in a trash can and left to die. By all measures it should have been a hate crime. It was not prosecuted as such--probably just not to stir up racial tensions. There was a time when murder, attempted murder, and assault charges were sufficient.

#2 He had also volunteered for a nonprofit group whose mission included fostering understanding among religions and cultures, veterans and civilians.

Must have been disappointed.

#3 Enright doesn't fit the radical left-wing media meme: He was in favor of the Manhattan Murder Victory Mosque. The MSM just couldn't find a white right wing extremist in this story. It is so hard being a "MSM Journalist?" these days. People just aren't accepting the lies anymore. It used to be so easy.

#4 It is so hard being a "MSM Journalist?" these days.

It's because they're like flat worms living in a two dimensional world trying to perceive a three dimensional object that intrudes upon their concept of reality.

#5 Does this mean that the "kill whitey" teens at the Iowa state fair will also be charged with hate crimes? Or is hunting down, beating, and screaming racial epitaphs insufficient for probable cause?
