Last week, a man shot three Muslim students in their house. One husband and one wife and one sister of the wife. The man turned himself in after the shooting and the cops then went over to the scene of the crime to investigate. The man told the authorities that it was over a parking issue, and that he just overreacted. However, authorities suspect that it was a hate crime and other neighbors have told them that they always had problems. The man's Facebook is very anti-religion and tears down other religions. He is a strong atheist and believes that everyone should become one too.
I don't think that this was done over a parking issue. And if it was, it kind of makes the situation worse. Hate crimes are so common these days, that people just ignore it and move on. This isn't as popular as Ferguson or other discriminating acts, but it still is just as horrible and despicable. I hope this man gets the life sentence he deserves and learns a very valuable lesson that everyone needs to know, that discriminating against other races because of their religion and their race is wrong. It even says in our Bill of Rights, that everyone should have the freedom of religion.

If he shot them over something as simple as a parking space, "overreacted" is quite the understatement. Hopefully based off of his lack of remorse and hateful facebook page, he'll get a life-sentence in jail.
