It's a hell of a piece of news, for sure -

(28,117 posts)More & more it seems like murder - now just possibly premeditated murder. Not just racism but some grudge to be settled.
Just hoping all the facts come out. "Beau of the Fifth Column"s instincts are probably right. Along with the OP info, I'd guess there's enough evidence to prove that this was indeed a murder. IF the info is allowed to surface.
