They won't shut the fuck up about it.

That doesn't make him less racist. It just means he was racist enough to kill three Muslims by shooting them each in the head over a parking space.

Same shit with the Duck Dynasty guys that live a floor below me.

Exactly! I'm honestly not buying it, either--he shot the three of them execution style, turned himself in, AND had a premeditated answer. If he actually cared about parking, he wouldn't commit a crime that would prevent him from ever parking again, and he certainly wouldn't have turned himself in.

I think the parking space excuse is a case of people accepting a narrative because it aligns with their beliefs/practices--i.e. the otherization of Muslims in America.
