I was just reading Rachel Slajda’s write up of these five morons who converged on the local mosque in Carlton, NY honking their car horns, yelling obscenities, hitting one of the parishioners with one of the cars and eventually firing off a shotgun for good measure. The gunfire actually happened the first time they paid a visit (last Friday); swiping into the guy with the car happened when they came back a few days later (this Monday).
I couldn’t help but grin at DA Joseph Cardone’s rather understated lack of buying these guys’ explanation/rationale for how the firearm came into the picture.
It’s too soon to know whether hate crimes charges are appropriate, he told TPM.
The D.A., Joseph Cardone, said the teenagers admitting to being at the mosque and to firing the gun. Their explanation for the shot, he said, was that they were scared when they saw mosque members coming outside.
“I don’t know what sense that makes,” he said. “They’re the ones who drove to this location.”
