Family: Son killed by neighbor who called him 'dirty Arab'
Rhetoric and words DO MATTER especially in this current heated debate about terrorism. It is not a far stretch to think that people like this demented man are susceptible to the hate speech that we are hearing in this current election cycle.
BTW, the deceased was a Christian of Lebanese descent.
Our police and judicial system totally failed this family. Heartbreaking.

It's only going to get worse.
You can't keep whipping people into a frenzy and expect rational behavior.
With religion involved...expect violence.
If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

Wait until Cheeto Hitler loses, and tells the mob he's incited that it was rigged.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Khalid Jabara: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
An Arab-American Christian was shot dead on his porch by a neighbor who racially harassed the victim’s family for years, police said. Khalid Jabara, 37, was killed on the night of August 12 at his home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The suspect in the shooting is Stanley Vernon Majors, 61. He’s also accused of hitting Jabara’s mother with his car in 2015. Homicide Sergeant Dave Walker told the media that Majors has had problems with his neighbors for years.In 2013, Jabara’s mother, Haifa had a protective order issued against Majors, reports Fox Tulsa.
The station says she was accusing Majors of sexually and racially harassing her. While Khalid took out a similar order against Majors in January 2015. News on 6 reported in September 2015 that Majors took out protective orders against the Jabara family, accusing them of threatening to blackmail him.Tulsa World reports that Majors is accused of hitting Haifa Jabara with his car in September 2015.
In 2009, Majors Was Sentenced to Prison for Threatening to ‘Terrorize’ Los Angeles.
Online records show that on Christmas Day 2014, Majors married a man named Stephen Anthony Schmauss, 74. Further records show that the couple lived in Diamond Bar, California, just east of Los Angeles, together.
Yup it's all Trumps fault? 
The demented man has had one run in with the law after another. Why was he not in jail? He had been harassing this family for years! A legal system major fail!

Re: Family: Son killed by neighbor who called him 'dirty Arab'
I don't think that anyone here said that it was ALL Trump's fault.
As a matter of fact, I'm sure of it. In the first post of this thread both the murderer's mental state and the failures of the judicial system were addressed.
The third leg of the stool, The heated rhetoric of the Trump campaign does matter.
Unhinged people hear horrible rhetoric, and the Paranoid style, and the effect on them is not good.
I am so terribly sorry that you won't see that.
After all that we have seen, I have concluded that Trump supporters are morally compromised for their acceptance of this horrible campaign.

Re: Family: Son killed by neighbor who called him 'dirty Arab'
Common, no it wasn't Trump's fault. However, Trump's rhetoric has made the fringe racist elements of our society feel ok about their opinions and feelings. This group within our population has always been bubbling under the surface of our culture. Trump simply made them feel 'normal' and perhaps justified with their feelings and actions.
And, Trump knows it. I mean what other presidential candidate could say they could shoot and kill somebody in Times Square, get away with it, and people would still vote for him? Does that say more about him or the people that say they would continue to support him? Secondly, when he announced his run for the R-Tribe nomination, one of the first people to announce support for him was David Duke. What message do you think that sent to white supremacist elements of our society?
Bigots, racists, and sociopaths have existed in cultures and societies since the beginning of time. All they need is someone to help them justify their opinions, feelings, and actions.

Re: Family: Son killed by neighbor who called him 'dirty Arab'
Interesting. Apparently The Left can be responsible for inciting violence, but Donald Trump cannot.
How does that work, Common?
Will the Left Accept Responsibility for Attempts on Trump’s Life?
Sorry, but either rhetoric can incite unstable people to violence, or it cannot.
You cannot have your cake and eat it too.
