Two white men in a pick up truck drive in to a predominantly black neighborhood and gun down five black men killing three. The mayor of Tulsa this morning says there is no indication yet that this was a hate crime. So what is the motive then? What were these rednecks doing in that neighborhood if the motive was not to kill random black people? One of the shooters had posted racial slurs on his facebook page stating that his father had been shot by a black man.

Cue the wacky right wing with their stories of white people being killed by black people just like they have done with the Trayvon Martin case. If the police can establish a motive like robbery, then I will say it's not a hate crime. I think these two should be treated like terrorists, just like the DC snipers should have. Here's hoping they get raped by black male after black male in prison.
