Mental Illness? Or Hate Crime?

Updated Below

Naveed Afzal Haq, a 30 year old Muslim Islamofascist walks into a Jewish Federation building in Seattle, WA and begins blasting away at people with his 9mm semi-auto handgun. Why?

"He said he hates Israel," said the source, who is part of the Seattle Joint Terrorism Task Force, which was called in to help investigate the shootings.

And

Amy Wasser-Simpson, the vice president for planning and community services for the Jewish Federation, said the man told staff members, "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel," then began shooting...

And

Witnesses say the gunman shot one receptionist, then ordered her to dial 911. He then took the phone from her.

"He told the police that it was a hostage situation and he wanted us to get our weapons out of Israel,"...

Haq, piss be upon him, hates Israel, indulges in BDS, and stress over the evil Western infidels providing weapons to the Zionists in order defeat Hezbollah. How does he express his anger at a sovereign nation trying to protect herself? By killing Jews, or people who work with them... in Seattle.

During a news conference Friday night, Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske said that, based on the conversation Haq had with 911 dispatchers, police are treating the shootings as a hate crime.

Good. At least that's a start on the right track. The Left Coast should not let this turn into a case of simple "mental illness" — although Haq's Islamofascism is a mental deficiency.

One more bit of information:

Haq's father, Mian A. Haq, was a founding member of the Islamic Centre of Tri-Cities in Richland...

Father founds Islamic center. Son goes on a Jew-killing spree days after Osama's number two issues a call for Muslims to jihad. There is a connection. Now how about tossing in a terrorism charge, especially in light of al-Zawahri's latest call to arms?

On a side note... Is the MSM complicit in this? Could this incident have been sparked by the MSM's perpetual wide-eyed willingness to constantly relay the terrorist mantra? If the Drive-By Media had let al-Zawahri's latest rant go by unpublished — effectively ignoring the rantings of a madman — would Haq have committed this crime?

You be the judge.

Update — (July, 30 - 1:03 a.m.)

It seems this Jew-hating swine held a gun to the head of a 13 year-old girl in order to get through the security doors at the Jewish Federation.

The man suspected in a fatal shooting rampage hid behind a potted plant in a Jewish charity's foyer and forced his way through a security door by holding a gun to a 13-year-old girl's head, the police chief said Saturday.

Nice. But...

Police and the FBI are labeling the shootings a hate crime.

No. This is Islamic, Jew-loathing [sorry for the duplicity] terrorism. The justice system on the Left Coast must not let the softies prod them into letting this slide by as a mere "hate crime". While it is true that terrorism is a hate crime in and of itself, terrorism encompasses so much more.

It's just too bad that the police didn't drop this jihadi wannabee with a well-placed, gummint-funded bullet. Too bad for him, I mean. At least that way he could have gotten to meet his 72 bovines. This is Islamic terror, without the strap-on explosives. The Islamic extremists have brought their brand of "hate crime" to our country. Fortunately, this guy only had a gun and not an airliner.

Upon further pondering, it is too bad for Seattle as well. Felling this swine would have also saved the taxpayers a ton of cash in court costs, fees for his state-appointed lawyer, and prison funds. It's also too bad that this pig will live as long as it takes to execute him the "legal" way...if they ever get around to pushing capital murder charges.

Prosecutors have until Aug. 2 to formally charge Haq, spokesman Dan Donohoe said. They are not yet seeking capital charges, but that could change, he said.

Ummm... doesn't this just scream "premeditated murder"? Someone hit the prosecutors with a Clue Bat, please! This one paragraph tells the story of calculated, pre-planned killing:

Seattle police said Haq picked up the two handguns and spare ammunition just days earlier, and appeared to have targeted the federation after a cursory Internet search for Jewish organizations.

Of course! This is just a random, off-the-cuff hate crime. No planning involved. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Oh. And don't go getting your panties in a wad over my wish to see Haq dead. He took it upon himself to become a Islamofascist jihadi. These [ahem] people want us dead, plain and simple. Not just the Jews, but all of us so-called infidels. When faced with someone who is supposedly willing to die in order to kill you, it is better to kill them first. I say "supposedly" because it only took this wuss 15 minutes to surrender. I guess those martyr status and 72 barnyard critters wasn't worth dying for. Ha!
