If someone burned down that racists home. I would donate to their court case if they were caught.
Maybe go for the whole neighborhood, sounds like it was a group effort.
How do you know he was racist?
Because he was known to verbally assault the gay couple with slurs.
How does that make him racist?
It’s present premeditated actions. From threatening to burn someone’s home down to previous altercations. You don’t get a flood from a few rain drops. A storm comes first before the disaster.
E.g. you don't know and are just spouting nonsense
The attacker could be American Indian as well for all you know
The information is in article moron.
Okay where does it say the killer was racist? That should be easy for a smart guy like you.
You’re just one of those chugs that defend racists till you’re blue in the face because you have a broken life. Have fun with that. Eye witness elaborated on the experience they have had with these neighbors.
You’re just proving to everyone you’re a garbage human.
I'm not defending anything. I'm just calling out OP for acting on his programming instead of the facts in the article which mention nothing about racism at all.
This is evidenced by you providing no evidence to support your claim despite that being the only thing I asked for and you could have used it to dunk on me and make me look stupid.
So you think he's merely homophobic and not racist?
Now that we know that the killer is Sigfredo Cejo Alvarez I suppose we can ask him. We all know how much Hispanics hate American Indians.
lol yeah? Should be obvious to anyone who's glanced at a history book. There was this whole European conquest and genocide thing. You've never heard of Hernan Cortez or Geronimo?
Are you saying this Hispanic dude in the San Antonio suburbs is a 16th century Conquistador living in a community of people he hates?
Because someone on the internet is asking why/how they're racist. That's a clear indication that they're racist.
So Sigfredo Cejo Alvarez is racist?
Yes. And homophobic, ignorant, terrorist, piece of shit, bigot, MAGA, murderer, likely arsonist and dog killer etc.
Against who and how do you know?
Against his victims
What races is he racist against? How do you know he was racist against his victims and not just a homophobe?
You seem to have a vested interest in racists not being associated with the murderer.
I'm just pointing out the pre-programmed assumptions people make. Nobody knows anything about the shooter yet they are certain he's a racist even though it's never mentioned once anywhere while homophobia was called out multiple times. It's less about racism and more about jumping to conclusions. Somehow no one is picking up on that.
You care an awful lot about the good name of a homophobic psychopath.
It has nothing to do with this story. It has to do with making assumptions. It could have been an article about anything else where people confidently proclaim something with absolutely no evidence. How you still don't understand that is mind boggling.
He doesn't deserve the effort you're putting in. You're splitting hairs about what sort of piece of shit he is.
Again. It's not about him or this story.
It looks to me like you can excuse years of harassment, arson, the thing with the dog skull, the slurs, and the murder, but draw the line at calling a piece of shit a racist.
