Adam Purinton has been charged with premeditated first-degree murder.

The killing dominated news bulletins in India and social media, where some blamed Donald Trump's presidency.

5. ban everyone from Adam Purinton's country!

Cut off travel and start profiling aggressively. Arrest everyone named Adam and tell them they are guilty until proven innocent.

It's the only way to keep America safe from terrorism. If you disagree, then you are an unpatriotic snowflake.

6. I blame trump.

Look at the bastard who shot them. He was using racial hate words at them , then yelled " Get out of my country" before shooting them. Then he was caught at a restaurant where he said he'd just killed two middle eastern men.
And they are CONSIDERING whether it was a hate crime?!?

Oh, and bless the young man who tried to help and was shot himself. I'm so thankful he will survive. The interview with him in his hospital bed shows a good hearted person who put his life on the line for others.

10. Agreed. The orange Nero will never accept responsibility for spewing his hate across the land.

His constant drumbeat of anger unleashes the inner demons of the worst in this country.
K & R for visibility.

7. And Trump deserves the blame for encouraging racism and bigotry.

The killing dominated news bulletins in India and social media, where some blamed Donald Trump's presidency.

8. be curious at to just why the person was being targeted

did the moron think the victims were from somewhere else or perhaps did he hate folks from india

9. Ummmm .... THEY'RE BROWN?!? HELLOOOOO!!!!

Clearly your swarthy-ness detector must be broken ... or you've not checked out the photos, perhaps?!?

11. We assume it was generally against brown, curious if it was against folks from india

So the shooter was evil. That is obvious
Just curious if it was generalized brown or India specific
