I live near Houston and when the first said Southwest Houston (parts of it is a hood), I thought they meant down Bellaire/Bisonnet and all the other streets. I thought maybe a robbery gone wrong kind of thing or extreme gang violence. But when I realized that they meant Southwest Houston inside the loop which is arguable one of the wealthiest parts of Houston, I had no idea what to think. Now it seems like a Lawyer were everything was going down hill. I don't know this obsession with his race (but If I had to guess judging from his first name and light complexion he might be full Indian or have a white mother). West Houston and Bellaire are both small cities surrounded by Houston that has the occasional murder and I know they will be shocked by this incident. Hearts and thoughts go out to the families.
Good post.
Speaking of SW Houston inside the loop, believe it or not, when I was studying for the bar exam I lived on Law Street off of Weslayan.

The shooter in Washington was labeled possibly Hispanic while they were trying to find the killer. When he was later found to be a Turkish immigrant, the Muslim threads started. In fact, the Muslim threads started before he was found while posters were making comments like "snackbar"? So yeah, the Muslim comments started almost immediately.
Are Muslims entitled to their own opinions no matter how misguided? I'm trying to understand the disconnect here. If a wannabe Nazi and a Muslim both shoot people, how does one have a right to their opinions while another does not? I'm not making a case for either, I'm asking how this guy in Houston seems to get a pass.
You've seen me defend the right of all American citizens, even Muslims. A solid 99.999% of Muslims have never hurt anyone.
^^^^^
He might be a white supremacist the kind of supremacist in Latin America were they ignore 25% of their history and talk about how white they are since 70% of their heritage is European or whatever, except the north Indian version. But anyone who knows Houston knows that West U is one of the whitest suburbs after The Woodlands and might be the only suburb in Houston that is more than 90% white. Even the Hispanic people out there tend to be the Sofia Vegara (or lighter type) rather than darker skin. So if he was a white supremacist choosing this neighborhood would be stupid. The average suburb in Houston is only 50-70% White and some in Fort Bend County and other places are in the 20's and 30's. and Harris County is 33% white. Maybe West U might have a high amount of Jews???
I also agree with you that when they saw Muslim the they thought terrorist is annoying. Anyone who has step foot in Turkey (I have been there) or know several Turkish people, let me tell you something: Half of their women don't even wear a hijab and their beaches were filled with bikini clad European women and Turkish women with next to zero rapes or anything of the sort.

Your arithmetic is WAY off. I'm not sure there's anyone who has never hurt anyone else, yet you think that 99,999 out of 100,000 Muslims qualify as perfect saints?
I don't think he meant perfect saints but I agree with him 99,900/100,000 American Muslims have never hurt anyone. I won't say other places because in Nigeria criminality among Christian and Islamic youth makes that number closer to 97% or less.
Because they're a friend of yours? Who knows but seriously they're NUTS....now you are a pestilence on the thread that you should have been responding to in the first place but went and created another race baiting thread which you knew was inacurate while knowing there was another thread.
Seriously, I'm mighty grateful you've called for the mods to intervene because they're just going to looooooooooove your posts and threads.
I missed your thread and started another, I'm sure it will be deleted but I wondered the exact same thing. Strangely silent for the angry white lawyer dressed like a Nazi. That's totally fine I guess.
Everything is not a racial issue? You contradict yourself in your own post! You heard about it because of his last name but as soon as he wasn't a Muslim, suddenly the shooting is okay, just "one of those things". If he is a Christian, what does that mean??? What should we do with all these angry violent Christians dressing like Nazis and shooting people???
Are you expecting white people to go out and loot, riot and burn since police shot him? Guess again.
Question is, whether if the shooter had survived would he have been disbarred?
