Laura,
I heard you reporting this story today…..it is so disturbing and sad….how could a parent take their own childrens life…those girls are both so beautiful….

They are half American…they live in America….they are teenagers….doing what teenagers do…have fun….

I hope they catch that monster soon…..

My God, Laura, how incredibly sad..All we can pray for
is that this doesn’t become some kind of trend in
our country..I first heard of “Honor Killing” a few weeks
back and now a second?..Disturbing to say the least..

It’s time for the moderate Muslim leaders to stand up and
condenm this kind of behavior, NOW!

Laura,
A good friend of mine from church is a Lieutenant with the Irving, Texas Police Department. We both live in Lewisville though. He has been touched by this tradgedy both where he works and where we both live. It is a terrible story to have to report but I wanted you to know, as I am sure you do, that the Irving Police are doing everything they can to find this father. Hopefully he will be captured and justice served. It will not bring back the girls but at least there can be closure before the life of the mother is taken as well.

Peace…

Another Muslim honor killing, huh?

Are these are the beliefs and practices of Islam that sending soldiers into the meat grinder of Iraq to defend?

Every time you see King George (a.k.a. Bush) touting the rich wonderful Islamic heritage that we’re helping to preserve and defend (it couldn’t possibly be about oil) then we need to keep these two girls in mind.

I agree it’s a tragedy… but it IS their culture, isn’t it? This IS what we’re defending in Iraq isn’t it? We surely want to be tolerant of their religious and cultural differences don’t we?

So where do we draw the line… where there culture ends or when ours does?

Jethro

Ahhhhh. yes, another in a series of honor killings…… “BUT IT IS A PEACEFUL RELIGION….”

I thnik we should all wake up!!!!

“But it is a PEACEFUL religion…..”

The sad truth to this “honor killing” is that Islam is a dangerous and demeaning belief system. What modern civilized society treats women in such a controlled, contrived and humilating manner? Radical Islam is bad enough, but many of these crimes are being committed by so called moderates. There is nothing moderate about any of this. These people are animals. Where is the voice of the Moderates, the Imams, or concerned leaders? No where. It is accepted and condoned in thier society. Therefor they have no place in ours.

Horrible, horrible and horrible, the Coran does not accept killing for honor or anything else, islam is not tolerating killings for honor or anything else. The Coran is a holy book for tolerance, islam is a religion of tolerance, islam recognises all the great religions and mentions Abraham, Moise, Mary, Jesus, etc. the holy prophetes and the holy books. Islam is not about horror, terror or hate, and killings. Sad to see this happening, sad to read about these beautiful angels killed by their own bloodlust father, he will go to hell (Jahanaba) for ever.

The mentality of these middle eastern muslin religious nuts is horrible. I am sure they will find him if he is still in the US. I still do not understand why US Immigration lets people from these countries into the US. We do not want them here. Such a waste of two beautiful girls lives because of religious extremes.

Of course it was about religion. The 19 year old son is saying do not give Muslims a bad rap. Why not? Nothing positive or good ever comes out of this barbaric “religion”. The Muslim religion is perhaps the most evil and horrible thing ever to have been created on this earth.

There are many groups in America that eschew mainstream American culture. The first that comes to mind are the Amish. But these groups do not react violently if someone leaves their community. If someone in an Amish community wishes to leave, they are allowed to do so. It is a shame that a beautiful religion like Islam is getting tarnished by those who instead use religion as a cudgel. Don’t people realize God wants our love freely given? How would you feel if you knew your child only said “I love you” because a gun was pointed at their heads? Using fear to force religion on someone else robs God of his right to our love. He wants our love not our fear.

As this is a possible danger to other people of islamic decent . Just as a battered housewife fears for her life from a maniac who happens to be her husband,she can seek protection. Who can these people turn to for protection. We are in Iraq dealing with extremist who think it’s their duty to murder any one who doesn’t believe as they do. Can we not fight them here to . This is America not Saudi Arabia. If they come here to live and work they must play by our rules. It’s time for intervention, the government needs to step in and make it a federal law. The F.B.I. needs to be involved and chase this bastard back to Egypt if needed . No animal should feel they can commit such a horrific crime as this and get away with it no matter where they run to. The spirit of those beautiful young ladies call out for justice.

One comment I read about possible motive was that the girls were “becoming too Americanized”. So, it sounds like possibly father didn’t come here to become an American! It seems too many people come to this country for the opportunity to make money or get in on our generous handouts, but don’t really intend to become “Americanized”. If the father did kill his two children perhaps Allah will not look so favorable on him as he thinks he will!

Laura, you can safely remove the question marks from your headline. To one with deep experience in these matters, it is obvious the murders of the beautiful Said sisters in suburban Dallas were dishonor killings.

Laura,

I do not understand why these people come here and expect that they can continue to live they way they did in their home countries. Everyone who has moved to the US left their home countries for a better way of life. They continue to practice their religions which is OK. We all believe in freedom of religion. Why come here if you don’t want your spouses and children to live the American way. It is only natural that the children are going to want to dress, date, and just have fun like all of the rest of the children do. We have laws he that protect the freedoms of everyone. I say before allowing any Islamic to move to the US that they are taught thoroughly the laws of our country and if they can not abide by them then we don’t let them in. Once you are living in the US the traditions from your homeland do not matter. If you value you them so much, then you should not move to the US but stay in your home country. You can not have it both ways. At the first signs of problems in these families for their traditions from their home countries, the family members that are against their children or spouses living the American way should be deported immediately to keep this from happening. If they can’t let go of their barbaric beliefs, then send them packing.

IT IS TIME THAT THE US TAKES A STAND ON THESE TYPE OF SENSELESS ACTS OF VIOLENCE. THESE YOUNG BEAUTIFUL LADIES WERE KILLED FOR NO REASON. UNTIL THE US TAKES A STAND ON THIS, THEN IT WILL CONTINUE AND THAT IS VERY SAD. WE LET PEOPLE COME TO THE LAND OF THE FREE BUT THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE. IF THEY DISLIKE THE US SO MUCH, THEN THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO COME HERE. I AM NOT SAYING THAT ALL ISLAMIC FEEL THIS WAY BUT MORE DO THAN PEOPLE REALIZE.

I have quite a few Middle Eastern friends who do not hate the US. They brought their families here for a better way of life and to get away from the violence in their home countries. They have no problems with their families living the American way.

Unfortunately I’m afraid we are going to be seeing more of this kind of tragedy in America as so many people of other cultures come here and refuse to melt in the melting pot we’re supposed to be. All we can do is try to serve up some justice after the fact. Oh it’s so sad. But you know what is even worse? It’s probably not that sad to many radical muslims right here in America. And I don’t think my politically incorrect opinion will be posted.

It couldn’t have anything to do with Islam…the religion of peace.

So the son doesn’t want to admit these killings are Muslim honor killings because he doesn’t want to put Muslims ‘in a bad light’? Too late. And it’s a shame that no one, no one , NO ONE from the muslim community seems to give a damn. What are the Muslims in Dallas saying about the murder or are they all worried about Muslims being shown ‘in a bad light.’

I keep waiting for some indication that is Islam is truly a religion of peace.

“They were becoming too Americanized” says it all. Why are they moving here?

Hey Guys – where’s the love…

We should dialogue with radicals… peace, love, and hug them… sending this man to jail is not going to make friends…here let me try…. “Come on mister radical … come to family counseling… we are buying… and we can give you some cash to help you feel better… you dont have to speak english, you dont have to follow our laws….and oh yeah – we love you and want you to go get the rest of your radical buddies and come to live in America… because we are open, loving, and will hug you to rational thinking….killing teenage girls is a ‘no-no’… but we know you are learning – so the first few are mulligans…”

There you go – I am sure because of his warm fuzzy feelings he will turn himself in shortly… Problem solved – call me if you want me to talk to UBL – I am sure I can “Dialogue” him in…

This is a tragic incident, but it is only the tip of the iceberg for what goes on in Europe and in Muslim countries today. The root cause is in fact Islam and its twisted beliefs and commands. It is a religon based on lies and fabrications, yet one third of the planet is immersed in it. Proof? Do your homework and you can study the origins of Islam for yourself and its openly stated goals. Then be afraid, very afraid. May the one true God have mercy on us and give you wisdom.

Laura,
Very sad indeed. The information that the mother knew the girls were in danger but left them with their father is truly disturbing. If muslim parents do not want their children absorbing American culture, they should not move here in the first place. Concerned American parents counter our often-morally bereft culture by home-schooling, etc.. There are certainly options other than killing your own daughters! I pray this man will be caught soon and punished to the fullest extent.possible.

This reminds me of a killing that happened here in Houston over 10 years ago yet it was never investigated as an honor killing, but a lot of people here thought that it should have. There was a young Muslim girl that married an infidel and then was seeking a divorce, she was murdered and they said the astringed husband hired it done. He was tried and executed, but till his dying day here protested that he did not do it. Frata was a found guiltily of hiring it done the Muslim man owned a car painting business here in Houston. The girl’s father is very active in the Muslim cause and up to his death Frata protested he was innocent. Oh yea she was going to raise the kids in anther religion.

Why is there no reporting of this on Fox Cable news? Why the refusal to link these honor killings to a devout Muslim father like the Canadian father who killed his daughter for act too un-Islamic and therefore, too Canadian last week?

There is a connection here between Islam and a failure in adapting to American culture that is being ignored for reasons of political correctness.

How many more daughters to be killed by muslim fathers for trying to break away from the religious stranglehold Islam places on a young mind?

Ahh, Islam, the religion of peace . . .

This is not an ‘ancient’ ritual. It is a regular practice in many countries and the USA is no different. This is not to say that all Muslims would do this, but there are many that would. What about the 200 lashes for the rape victim? Furthermore, there are other practices as well that the Quran endorses such as beating wives, etc. It would be wise to take the time to read the Quran; it would give you an idea of what Muslims believe. It should also make us wonder how we can elect Muslims or why our Democratic congress asked them to pray at the opening of their session. By doing this, without asking them to specify what parts of the Quran they believe in and don’t believe in, we are endorsing this very type of behavior in this country.

Laura,

Get used to this “Religion of Peace” so called justifyable homicide. Any woman who does not understand the War on Terror pay attention! This type of action is a warning! This religion believes that women are property. You step out of line and you will be slaughtered like goats!.

It is sick to believe that your God allows you to kill your own child either with an explosion of glory or via murder by your own hand because your daughter dishonored you by showing her face in public.

God save us all and keep up the good work.

Canada tolerates Sharia law – up to a point – and clearly, way too far. To the extent that we begin doing so in the U.S., we will see more of this oppression and murder of women. I hope we don’t see muslim ghettoes appear here, as they have done in the U.K., where it isn’t safe to go if you are an “infidel”. I predict this kind of thing will only get worse and more frequent, and the mainstream media will begin to suppress the religious aspect of the murders in order to maintain political correctness.

THIS is the religion of peace??

THEN what is terrorism??

So much for “cultural diversity.” Not all cultures are good or worth emulating.

This is standard Islamic practice. I read last year in Israel there were 29 cases of honor killings. Thats because in Israel the muslims run their own municipalities, and thats where we’re headed here in Detroit and San Diego. Its the women who suffer most under these people, and its Liberal American women who are their most strident defenders. Sad. Thats what they proudly do to their own children, please try to imagine what they want to do to us. Wake up everyone, they are here.

I love how the main concern of the brother seems to be that “Islam will get a bad rap.” The only way for that Islam and the purportedly “peaceful majority of muslims” can avoid a bad rap is not by DENYING this action is a result of the fathers faith, but rather by CONDEMNING it and WORKING TO ELIMINATE these incidents in the future.

This is yet another tragedy regarding the extremists living right here in the USA. If they don’t want to become Americanized, why do they come to our country to live and seek a better life? No one asks that they abandon their religion or customs, but they must also learn to assimilate when living in a country other than their own.

I am more concerned about the reality of this tragic situation over the appearance of “peaceful” Muslims with too much time on their hands. Muslims killing muslims over morals doesn’t work any more than “legislating morality”. It’s too bad that they haven’t figured this out. Unfortunately, much of Islam is a closed society and protects itself well. Unless someone speaks up from within, this may be a lost case. Muslims want what they think they want. American society or even what is considered right does not enter into that equation.

It sounds to me like the father got wind that the mother was leaving and taking the two girls and his honor or maybe just his “control” would not let it happen and so he killed them. Until more of the story comes out, we don’t really know the mother’s motives for leaving the girls behind. To me, it sounds like all the women were going to be leaving (or why would all three have quit their jobs). Maybe the mother left ahead to make arrangements while the girls (being girls) wanted to get the rest of their things, say their goodbyes and meet up with her. It sounds like they were all in a panic state of mind to leave and sometimes that doesn’t make careful planning. It also seems that the girls had information on the mom’s shooting and now the father felt he had to kill them too?

All I know is there is too much crime in this world and it is unimaginable that people go where they go. I think people should be tested psychologically at each renew of their Driver License for any mental or over the top anger issues and prescribed mandatory pills if they have an issue. I know, I know. Where is the freedom of rights etc. Maybe we need to look closer at who should get those rights if indeed they can be a threat to the more sane and non-violent of us.

Are parents of other cultures so naive to think their children are not going to want to “fit in” with their peers? Or maybe I am just naive.

Ditto Josh…Get a clue American women. Honor killings target women, perpetrated by many Muslims (also by cultures throughout Africa & Asia). Being tolerant is different than turning a blind eye to barbaric practices which deny any rights to females, except the right to be veiled, genitally mutillated, sold, raped or murdered. I want to hear more voices in protest world-wide in opposition to these practices.

I hope they find that ‘father’ and he is sentenced to death. The son does not want Muslims to get a bad rap? How can they not! Too Americanized–they live here! I am beyond words right now.

Our cultural has become too “liberal” more in the intellectual sense above and beyond the political sense. We are hesitant to criticize contemtuous behavior when it appears to have a religious component in its origins. Actions that would be severely condemned if performed by any members of society at large are coddled and rationalized when the perpetrator is one who practices Islam.

Why are we to think that Muslims need prozac to treat their “mental illness.” We in the West think that to kill someone, it takes someone who is “out of their minds.” For the most part this is true. BUt what we are seeing is from these muslims is what tey believe to be the right thing to do. The more they come to this country and fail to assimilate, we will see more and more of this in the US. Then as Americans we will continue to blame ourselves because we didn’t “understand” the muslim. Give me a break. Oh, where is the Muslim community on this one? Their silence is deafening.

It’s very easy to criticize other cultures. Think of the horror some European communities must feel when they hear of another death penalty case in the U.S.

Why isn’t anyone pointing out that the 19-yr-old is the BROTHER of these murdered girls?! Why isn’t he grief-stricken and outraged at their murders? HELLO, America! Are you out there?!

The big problem I have with all this is that if this was an honor killing, why in the hell did he disappear after the killing? Apparently people like this don’t seem to have the testicles to go to the police and announce that this killing was necessary. Instead, they don’t want to die themselves. I personally classify these type of people as COWARDS!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your time. Steve

I have a friend who worked for people from the middle east who are muslim. They kept calling her a goat when she insisted on cleaning the motel rooms the way that they should have been cleaned. Because she would not be quiet about their substandard cleanliness of the rented room, they kept calling her a “goat”. She finally asked why, and they responded that goats are unruly and uncontrolable animals. They find goats substandard because they cannot be “sheparded”. These people come here, choose to not conform, are happy with the money, but become unhappy with the freedom the we “goats” have and they are afraid that their children will become “goats”, unable to be controlled. So, they kill their children and they will also kill the “goats”who live here. I don’t like saying,”These people” or grouping everyone however, we need to realize that many do not appreciate the way that we live. They do not want their children to live the way that we live. Our ancestors did not insist on keeping their own identity. They wanted to be Americans, good or bad. They wanted to be a part of this “melting pot”. We need to understand that there is a war, not only on a battlefield in the Middle East, but this battle festers within our own communities. These girls are causualties just like our soldiers and this man is not a father. He was not in control of his family and that is a terrible disgrace especially when it is with daughters. They are only of value if they can be married off without blemish. The americanization of his daughters lessened thier value and he realized that his daughters would fetch him nothing if they folllowed in the foot steps of other teenagers, so he killed the “goats”….

Someone earlier asked why this isn’t being shown on foxnews very much?

Because they’re not blonde, white college students… and besides it would tend to tarnish the whole Iraq thing to know that these are the “valid” beliefs of those we’re trying to promote and restore in Iraq.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but does anyone honestly think that the Muslim regime we “put” into place in Iraq will be any more open to women than the regime we toppled? If we leave today and come home with parades and streamers the women of the middle east (not just Iraq) will be second class citizens AT BEST. Again, this is the “rich, wonderful, diverse, culture” (add whichever adjective makes you feel fuzzy) that our government is throwing over $16 Billion a month at to “liberate.”

The deaths of these two young women is heinously tragic proof that this is a LOST CAUSE and a WASTE of MONEY. This individual wanted to come here for benefits, PREFERENCE, and to take advantage of the opportunity this country has afforded many…. but didn’t want to be bound by it’s laws (duh, why does this sound like an immigration problem.)

It took America close to 200 years to get to the point where all of US could vote… and we think the Muslim community will change deeply entrenched cultural beliefs that are nearly 2,000 years old just because we’re there????

Why isn’t anyone on the campaign trail talking about this….?

Growing Islamification in Europe and North America has, I think, reached the point where people are starting to question the value of letting it continue. Charles “The Hammer” Martel has been spinning in his grave, I imagine, for quite some time.

To those who say Islam is peaceful rather than a violent religion, we have a saying in the south: “If it walks like a duck, if it talks like a duck, and if it looks like a duck…it’s a duck.”

While not suitably statistical or scientific for some people, it is good enough to be useful in this case.

I hope they catch the guy and give him the death penalty.

I live in the UK, this is a growing problem here too. More & more muslim women here are being forced into the extreme practices of their life, wearing full veils etc. Similarly recent articles report that young muslim women are paying large amounts of money to have their virginity restored before marriage in fear of these ‘honor killings’. There is no honor in any of this, they merely shame their religion.
And they call it the religion of peace!

People, this is not really an Islamic thing. Honor killings are a middle eastern cultural thing, specifically Arabic. It could either be this, or it might just be a man who is out of his mind.

Why do people from other countries come to America? Most of our ancestors came here for freedom….of speach and religion. So I am completely baffled as to why someone would come here and continue with such customs of “honor killing”. In our country, any type of killing is illegal. Why come here? Because we will give you everything – “free” not for the love of “freedom”.

Why do they migrate here if they refuse to give up their beliefs? Why not stay in a country where they live like that and quit bring their children here to keill them.. It makes absolutely no sense to come to a country where beliefs are different and way of life is different and expect their children not to grow and adapt to other way of life? We should screen these people before allowing them here if it will save these children.

“Honor Killing” is NOT an “ancient Muslim tradition.” You will find it within Hindu, Sikh, Christian communities in Asia. Such crimes are as American as apple pie. A guy in Texas just murdered and ate his girlfriend b/c she left him for another man. I guess its not newsworthy enough b/c Muslims weren’t involved.
But then again, this is FOX, known for its spin and bigotry. Shallow minded white bigots cherry picking and politicizing murder.

A Christian father tossed 4 of his kids off the bridge in Arkansas. Another Christian father burnt his wife and 4 kids in Cincinnati this Friday. Seems like a case of “Christian Honor Killings” to me.

this got nothing to do with religion. If a white man did a crime, last thing people would talk about is his religion. I’m muslem and i read the qor’an before and in the qor’an it says to treat womens well and to respect them. as a matter fact long time ago before islam ignorant people who didn’t believing god use to kill their daughters once they were born but when the Islamic religion grew prophet mohamad told them people not to kill their daughters. In islam we believe that this person will go to hell because Allah told us not to kill our daughter. I am muslem and my dad and my brother treat me like a queen and most of arabic man’s treat their daughters and sisters and wives like queens so please don’t gudge Islam because of 1 person who is crazy and not following his religion, and i am not religious but i know my religion well and i know that what he did is wrong and god will punish him.

Here is amina myspace page. I started crying once i seen her myspace page and the heading broke my heart http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=200531942

Yaser did the right thing!!!!!!!!! When will you americans learn!!!!!!!!!!! This is a tradition which will NEVER go away. You americans are all nothing but fat consumers!!!!!!!!!

I find honor killing repulsive and have a few thoughts about the Muslim men who commit them.

My first question is if Yaser Abdel Said did not want his daughters to become westernized, then why did he move to America? Also why didn’t he put them in a Muslim school instead of public school, where kids are trying to express themselves and western culture would be so prominent?

Second, how does the Muslim community view him as he is now acting like a westerner, on the lam, running from an honor killing, which in his country is a lawful act? Here, according to Westerners, he is a criminal on the lam. If he is so sure that he did the right thing, why act like a coward and run?

Last, when are we as a society going to say enough of this Mulism right to abuse women? If these men bring their families here due to greed, then we, as Americans, should be allowed to enforce OUR laws and imprision these men who 1) are mentally unstable 2) have a history of abusing family 3) have children, specifically girls, in public schools.

We need laws passed to protect women from their Muslim fathers and husbands. Unfortunately, Islamic nations have given men the “right” to perform un-Godly acts and get away with it. We need to take a hard line that if these men come to America, they cannot get away with it anymore.

that wonderful peace loving religion of islam.

I am sick reading this story. It is not politically correct but perhaps we should not allow Muslims to immigrate here. It’s clear that Muslim beliefs are contrary to American beliefs, and don’t belong here. You might say “Well, what about freedom of religion?” Well, to what extent do we allow freedom of religion? I say that when it infringes on another person’s right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” then it is too far. What if a group from another country came here and wanted to practice cannibalism? We would not allow that to be practiced because it requires that someone’s life be taken, and that is against the law. So, if Muslims are going to practice honor killings, and genital mutilation, etc. then I think we should not allow them to immigrate to our country. Again, I don’t care if this is not politically correct. We are DYING from political correctness. God Bless America and God help us!

Wake up Freedom America! If an Islamic Extremist would kill their own, what do you think they want to do with the rest of the Non-Muslim infidels a.k.a. Western World a.k.a. America? See through their propaganda and DO NOT buy into their assinanine reasons. Be vigilant and be victorious! THIS IS AMERICA!

Honor killing is, and has always been, a perfectly acceptable intrafamily experience for all muslims since the 7th century. That is 1300 + years of a justifiable method of easing the embarassing elements of familial shame. Who is anyone in a country that is only 230 years old to tell muslims what is right and wrong ? All females are not worthy of having the same latitude of behavior as males in this “noble” religion. Islam always promotes the equality of the genders. Education and carnal pleasure are deemed equal for both genders. As noted by the number of Nobel laureates of muslim faith. Come on people, america is country that promotes tolerance for all religions. Where is the tolerance for the one true religion – Islam ?

This guy needs to be tracked down and beat to death

This isn’t a new phenomenom at all, it is just being reported in the western press a little more than it was. In Iran, women who have killed their rapists are being sentenced to death, in India, women who reject arranged marriages have acid thrown on their faces. It is tragic. I hope they catch this man, what a terrible, insane thing to do.

Let’s not confuse religion and culture. When you read about Islam you will learn that it is said “if I kill one human it is like killing all of humanity and if you save one life it is like saving all of humanity.” While a handful of radicals are attempting to hijack Islam for their own beliefs, more than a billion Muslims are living peacefully in the world.

When it comes to honor killings, let’s not confuse culture and religion. When you look deeper in the middle eastern countries, you will find that honor killings are practiced by Christians in those cultures as well (not all Arabs are Muslims). No matter who is doing it, the barbaric practice should not be tolerated.

But hey, remember Islam is a religion of pieces …er of peace

It appears the reason we are not seeing much on the new it seem the mother, brother and the mother’s sister is trying to white wash the whole event. “Is something going to come out they dont want told”. These girls couldn’t help that their daddy was an Arab, that is the route their mother chose. Lets all do something to keep these girls memory alive. Has anyone started a schlorship fund in their memory. If so, please post where we can send our contribution.

To me it is necessary to find

Wow this is horrible,how could a man take his own beautiful daughters lives for wanting to fit in.The sad thig is this probably wont be the only case like this,there are probably more cases like this.Those women and children are all victimized the same way and its so sad the only thing we can do is help the ones that get away and try to prevent future tragedies like this.I cant stop reading it this is just so horrible.

Beautiful girls with a bright future murdered because of their father’s devotion to a mythical god and an even more ridiculous ideology. Unfortunately we are so guilt-ridden in this country that we don’t make the truly guilty among us pay the price for even such a horrible crime as this. Heaven forbid we should offend someone’s absurd faith. It’s MURDER folks! We SHOULD be violating some rights to find this criminal so the rest of our rights to live a normal life are protected but as usual we are too concerned about offending a cold-blooded killer and the fragile feelings of the criminal community that harbors him.
