the Hate is creeping into the kids.
The teen accused of fatally stabbing a gay black man during a standoff at a Brooklyn gas station claimed to be Muslim, though his family says he’s Christian.

A conflicting portrait of Dmitriy Popov emerged Monday as the 17-year-old, who surrendered Friday with his lawyer, was arraigned as an adult defendant on murder charges and ordered held without bail.



The Midwood teen tried to go on the lam for a week after the killing by shaving his head and shutting off his phone in a failed attempt to evade the law, Assistant District Attorney Sarah Jafari said in court.

The suspect’s mother called him a “good boy” who goes to church and has two jobs.

Regardless of any "claims" we know for sure that he was a hateful bigot empowered by MAGA and Trump's America, it takes very little to tip these people over the line into domestic terrorism.

We must know if he was "a former alter boy" because that's always pertinent. I don't know if we can make causation claims yet but there sure are a lot of "former alter boys" turned murderers and rapists over the last 50 years. Must be a connection since the news always wants us to know that background nugget.

The phrases "he goes to church" or "he's a church-going person" (you can substitute any other place of worship) are even more common, as if that by itself means the individual couldn't commit such an act.

The media loves irrelevant descriptors when it comes to violent crime. You’ll never read a headline that says "Bowling enthusiast and father of 4 grifts millions from retirees."
