Hyper-Progressive Atheist Guns Down Three Muslims in Chapel Hill, NC, In Apparent Dispute Over Parking Space

You know the media really wanted to run an #IslamophobicBacklash story, but then had to downplay it when the shooter turned out to be one of their very own.

This is obviously a horrible story, and further, if you look at the pictures at the Daily Caller, the victims look absolutely charming. I realize that's very superficial, but let's face it, I don't know them. I have nothing but superficialities to go on.

But of course these stories are never about the actual victims. Killings happen every single day, but only become part of the "National Discussion" to the extent they can advance the Obama-Democratic Storyline, as was the case in Ferguson.

And these murders, though terrible, would not have been mentioned outside the local papers but for the tantalizing hint that this would confirm and vindicate Obama's "But the Crusades" speech last Sunday.

Alas, this was not to be, the mainstream media has largely taken the position "Who cares about some dead Muslims?"

The New York Times reported on the murders and mentioned Hicks’ atheism, but not his politics. CNN did the same, as did The Washington Post.

Yet even a passive look at his Facebook page would reveal Hicks is not only a rabid atheist, but a passionate progressive.

Here are some of the things the thuggish murderer "Liked" on his Facebook page:

A review of the Facebook page of the man charged in these murders, Craig Hicks, shows a consistent theme of anti-religion and progressive causes. Included in his many Facebook "likes" are the Huffington Post, Rachel Maddow, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Freedom from Religion Foundation, Bill Nye "The Science Guy," Neil deGrasse Tyson, gay marriage groups, and a host of anti-conservative/Tea Party pages.

Remarkably, one of the four Facebook groups he had joined was "Religious Tolerance."

Of course, most murderers are not Sexy Political Assassins but rather dreary low-impulse control Low-IQ social outcasts with repulsively trivial reasons to take a human life; so too in this case: He murdered these people, police now say, due to a dispute over a parking space.

Parking disputes can be aggravating. We all know this.

But only drearily ordinary, barely-literate, half-lunatic losers get the idea to kill people over them.

But I guess he got the idea from one of his heroes. Probably Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
