Won't see too much coverage of the peaceful Muslim aspect of this story as pointed out here.
"Check out the video here. One of the witness states that the shooter was repeatedly shouting "allahu akbar" at minute 2:42. This video is on the bottom right of the LA Times new story, but they don't mention it in their coverage -- neither does Reuters, CBS news, The Hollywood Reporter, KFAI (http://www.kfiam640.com/pages/BillCarroll.html?article=9494719 - broken link), or any of the other news reports. I expect that this video will be removed or edited."
This man was shot and killed simply because people believed he was a Muslim.
Maybe in your highly selective reading you overlooked this small, insignificant detail ?
Hollywood gunman shot dead by policeman from movie set | Reuters
A gunman opened fire on motorists in the heart of Hollywood on Friday, wounding three people before he was shot to death by an off-duty police officer who had been working on a nearby film set.
He was shot and killed because he was shooting at people and refused to disarm and surrender. Police took appropriate response. Personally had I been in the truck and had someone fire at me. I'd run them over. Nothing like a tire on your chest to get you to consider disarming...

Is your head up your a$$ or in the sand? I would hope if he had yelled; "Praise God", with a Southern accent, they would've shot him as well. (Maybe quicker in California). See, you have me stereotyping now.

"Zero tolerance" at its finest
I wouldn't give them a second chance either..not when they are shooting at you for no reason.

Exactly, being Muslim had nothing to do with it.
The situation here is exactly the same found by the Obama administration in the Fort Hood shootings. It was found to be a simple case of workplace violence" having nothing to do with Muslim.

Yes sure.. it had nothing to do with him pointing and shooting at people indiscriminately. The off duty officer obviously shot him because he was determined to off himself a muslim that day.
