That's what race baiters do, they insinuate racism where none exists. The shooter's last name is irrelevant? Isn't Muhamad a Muslim surname? Al Sharpton doesn't make up stories? Have you not heard of Tawana Brawley?

Sharpton ran with and promoted the Brawley story, he wasn't the one who made it up. That honor goes to Brawley.

He's still pretty much as guilty as she is for for going along with the story even after knowing the truth. Just like he supported the notion that Micheal Brown was wrongly killed even after evidence showed otherwise. He profits from "racism". You didn't come back with any thing in response to Muhammad being a Muslim surname. Do you have anything in response to that?

Insisting over and over again that a person whose last name is Muhamed can't hold negative views towards Muslims doesn't erase the fact that this man questioned and mocked the man's religious and then shot him.

The alleged religious discussion between Mohamed and the cabbie is just that, an allegation. Not an established fact.

This sounds like some type of street hustle...Cabbie picks up passenger at Casino...passenger makes small talk with passenger, notices guy is Arab so he tries to get a rise out of the Cabbie mocking prophet....they get to passenger's house, passenger tells Cabbie wait right here until I come back with my wallet to pay you?


Cabbie goes to hospital, all this time, says he was shot in the back as he took off..Cabbie drove all the way from Casino
to Hazelwood no description of the passenger was ever mentioned?...One the passenger might have been pissed off that
the Cabbie did not get the hint he wasn't getting paid as he didn't leave...or that the Cabbie was trying to play him.

Things don't normally operate like this between Cabbies and passengers...It is more to this than is being said..

I'm just speaking my mind nothing too serious here.. I thought it was plausible for these reason.
A) blacks/white and other ethnic minorities have had tension in Hazlewood's stores and other communities like it. Middle Eastern store clerks and Korean business owners sometimes have poor relations with the majority low income black/white customers.

B) not to go back to the black Muslim era, but other than a few racially backed disagreements blacks usually get along. Blacks in Hazelwood get along with the whites. Some white males in luke of terrorist attacks are filled with bigotry, so perhaps after the recently described alleged perpetrator was enacting for his white companions.

but now, I smell the flakey bs in the air and am siding with most people, but at the same time I've noticed a lot of sediment towards people from the Middle East from white posters on the forum which I don't condone...

An allegation from CAIR at that. The victim himself didn't even mention that there was an ethnic element. If there was, wouldn't the victim himself have mentioned it?
