I saw this incident on the news. Apparently he though the Indian men were middle eastern. This is really depressing in so many ways.

He knew they were Indian. He had a long argument with them about their H1B visas before he was thrown out of the bar. (Also weird people are jumping to the "he was a trumper/republican" thing. He might well be, but in that area and with that mindset, he is much more likely to be a union democrat than anything else.)
I was, and I told the truth, even when it's uncomfortable for some reading here.
Your response is rude and insulting - so much for the "good manners" you brag about having in one of your later posts.
Yeah, sure you were.
But don't worry, there's a lot of lying going on now. When liberals don't have real examples to justify their unhinged lunacy, they simply make them up.

Another example of your "good manners", I suppose. Sorry, I am not in the habit of videoing my daily activities and encounters, so you'll just have to take my word. I could show you a receipt from the store, but that would prove only that I was there and no doubt that would cause you to simply cast more doubt.
Must be awful to be so suspicious and inaccurately judgmental of everyone whose politics differ from yours...which is just what you indicated in the bolded quote above.
It's true. After 9/11 some Sikhs were shot in Arizona. When my husband and I visited my daughter's best friend whose parents are Sikhs, somehow the dad decided to remove his Turban.
I remember going to the gas station the night of 9/11, seeing the Indian nephew of the owner scared shtless with the shotgun on the counter, he said that he had people calling him a rag head muslim terrorist and throwing things at the windows. He wanted to just go home but had no car and had to wait for his uncle to come get him.

Doubtful, since Trump has been hammering on H1B visas for a long time now as part of "make amerika grate again" shtick.

Whether this belongs on the political board may be debatable, but we regularly have postings of crimes supposedly committed by legal aliens. The vics in this case weren't here illegally. They were watching a Kansas basketball game peacefully in a Olathe, Kansas sports bar when they were attacked, apparently for no other reason than their ethnicity.
There's a lot of bitterness on both sides of the political divide and there's a certain percentage of the population that are unhinged. Words have consequences.
Let's hope that this sad story remains an isolated incident.
Well, to answer the question, the perpetrator was drunk. When anyone is drunk, that person usually gets belligerent and would do things they likely would not do if he/she were sober, and a person's senses are usually zonked after a person has had too many. It's sad that labels were even used at all, and because people died at his hand, he should be tried.
If the roles had been reversed, this thread would have 800+ posts and be sticky'd at the top of this forum.
And that ****** me off more.
