This will be interesting on several levels.

Wonder what the Islamic Brotherhood and sharia law will do to the tourism industry..?? My guess is that it will all but kill it for people from western cultures, who treat their women as equals and don't require them to wear a burka....

Feels like stability in the region took a huge step backwards...we will see.

From their own website:

"...Does the Brotherhood intend to apply Islamic law? That is where it begins to retreat into generalities, claiming that it will use Islam as a "reference" or pursue the "goals" of Islamic law, but it will do so through democratic and constitutional channels.

And when it comes to foreign policy, the Brotherhood has also been a bit more cagey: it wishes to "renegotiate" the peace treaty with Israel but will clearly face an Israeli government deeply resistant to making any formal changes; it has communicated reassuring messages to a stream of official American visitors but clearly has a regional agenda that would cause some headaches for the US; and it is deeply and emotionally opposed to the blockade on Gaza but has also effectively told its cousins in Hamas that their cause will have to wait..."

I carry (legally) but the first thing you are taught, expected actually, is to AVOID situations where you may be forced to use deadly force. I balance that against my emotions of "...letting the scum win...".

Why should we be afraid to use public parks..?? By the same token, if I think I'm walking into a gunfight, why go..??

Oh, I remember....the Police used to be able to deal with problems like this without fear of reprisal. Now I guess it's going to be up to the public.....

You should know better by now.....it's impossible for a black person to commit a "hate crime". To expect anything else in this bastion of liberal nonsense is unreasonable.

They can do and say anything they want, and no matter what, it's the fault of the white oppressor...that would be us. No accountability, no personal responsibility, nada, zip, none.

This is what you get when the public loses faith in the justice system. When there is no hope of real justice, people will begin to take matters into their own hands, right or wrong.

I'm not going to condone his actions, but I have to admit had it been my child or my wife who was the victim, I'd have likely done the same thing.

She should have cashed it, transferred it a couple of times, and ran with it.

Put 'em both down. Solves lots of problems in the long run.

Cold...?? You bet. If it happened enough times, it wouldn't happen nearly so frequently.

No reason to stoop to insults. Really.

Fine, it's his parents fault. It's the video games fault, it's the public schools fault, whatever.

Now what do we do with the little felon...??
