FloridaMan has some obvious issues that need to be looked at. I hope he gets some help.
What the fuck? This is the real sickening part of it all.
I don't know what's worse now: The media propagating their bullshit or the quote above.

Yeah. That's a new level of bullshit right there.

I see people all the time saying the anti-muslim thing isn't racist (as if that makes it magically okay) because it's a religion. And yet brown people keep getting targeted because stupid white people keep assuming they're muslims.

Also,



Yeah, it would've been totally fine if they were muslims. fuck's sake.
Pretty sure that was just a little dry humor from the sheriff.

Be interesting if you handed him a world map with all the labels removed and asked him to point out where the Middle East is.
 
Arson is a serious crime, cops can shoot people sometimes for it, particularly if the building is occupied or something.

If we ever get a follow up (doubt it) to this story, his sentence will be quite lenient.

But we have to make sure that if it's a white man in question that his mental issues are looked into.
 
This was all I could think of while reading the OP.

That and this is a stupid world we live in.
 
Why are these stories always couched as if it would be OK if they actually were Muslims?

I think the point is that this crime and other crimes (Kansas City) involve an individual committing an act of violence against someone that is brown because they assume (wrongly) they are arabs/muslims. It's not to say if they were arab/muslim that it would be okay, but that they are obviously being targeted for their appearance (brown skin). Which is even more fucked up.

I have been blessed to have never faced violent racism, but there is about a minute every day when I think about the world and feel afraid to be brown in America. I guess this is today's minute.
 
The west should start looking into why Muslims and other "brown people" never suffer from mental issues. They must be doing something right so maybe there's a cure for mental issues many white people suffer from.

Kinda feel bad for him since he really does look insane. He should be institutionalized

Based on looks alone, you kinda feel bad for him because he needs medical counseling.. ?

Thats a very odd conclusion, unless your doctorate is in telling crazy by pictures or summink.

Well he is white which automatically gives sympathy points ahead of their victims. Not implying anything about Donmigs. Just stating an observation that happens in these threads every time.
