Woman pushes a "Suspected muslim" in front of subway

There was a similar incident in the NY subway just weeks before.

I don't like that this one is being billed as a hate crime.

Insane is insane...

 

What are you smoking? What makes you feel like this wasnt a hate crime?

 

My only problem is how the media is spinning it. Prosecutors can charge as they see fit.

If she's certifiable, that kinda gets her off the hate crime bit, doesn't it?

 

smfh, this ****ing society I can't even

 

link?

 

Truly disturbing. Be careful out there, guys.

 

Seriously...I get on a subway everyday for work. The last incident more than spooked me out already.

 

This is why I stay the hell away from the tracks. It's not like I'm ever in that much of a hurry to want to be the first wave to squeeze into a packed train anyway.

 

The continual obsession demonstrated by the ATW types leads to Holocausts and acts like this.

Are there some crazy, mostly uneducated backward Muslims doing despicable things? Sure, but being irrationally obsessed about this leads to stupid wars, and these type of hate crimes.

 

Of course she's certifiable. She murdered a man because he has a different amount of melanin in his skin than her.

 

Menendez is an Hispanic surname. Are you sure she wasn't darker than the victim?

 

I would think that the people doing the despicable things leads to the wars. I had no clue ATW caused the holocaust. Doing that single handily is kinda impressive no?

 

He didn't say single handedly. He said atw types. Get a whole bunch of his type together and who knows what can happen.

 

Very disturbing. Feel sorry for the guy and his family.

Also, glynch and trustme showing their idiocy.

 

Yes of course it's possible. But the point I was trying to make is that she is so far from rationality that she assumed a person of a certain skin color was Muslim, and she killed that man intentionally. She intended to murder him. She did not intend to kick him onto the tracks and he happened to get murdered - though that would still fall under a reasonable number of possibilities to be expected from her action. I would venture to say that this is inherently an action which can be classified as certifiable and whether she is certifiable or not should instead be tested with the evidence of her whole adult life rather than just this one action.

Even the threshold which the media uses to identify someone as Muslim is ridiculously low. It's not like a person registered somewhere as Muslim or from a predominantly Muslim country or even someone who calls themselves Muslim falls into the category of beliefs which the general public links to Islam. In some countries you are registered as a Muslim at birth and this can't ever change. In reality, the man's religious beliefs are a small part of the story, whether he's Muslim or not. His skin color is also a small part of the story. The big part of the story is the murder and the intent - which have both been established. To think that people are disputing whether this is a hate crime is sickening and the media is fueling it.

If I were killed today, I would be counted as a Muslim in the media regardless of the fact that I don't share core beliefs with 99% of Muslims in the world and I don't engage in most of the ritualistic practices of Islam. Is this a fair assertion, or are these assertions made to appease the massive group of Islamophobic individuals whose erratic notion of a Muslim puts those Muslims near or in the category of "unpeople"? How many people, on this board alone, read a story about an alleged Muslim getting murdered and assume this it is the loss of a violence-loving, society-destroying, intolerance-spreading, gay-hating, freedom of speech-despising person? You bet your ass that if I were murdered, my criticism of America's foreign policy would be linked to my "listing" as a Muslim in no time, and I would be associated with aaaaall the perceptions of Islam which are widespread in countries where this media clster**** is dominant. No one would even think twice about it. Some would even be relieved in silence since it fits nicely in their "with us or against us" belief system.

Atrocious journalism. These media outlets are supposed to inform the public, instead they are focused on inflamming the public. This article is an atom in the universe of journalism which pushes people closer and closer to committing hate crimes. The irony.

 

ATW types caused the Holocaust? So we are essentially comparing ATW to Hitler? This is where the train comes off the tracks. That's pretty ****ed up.
