Seattle’s Latest Terrorist Enemy

Since the shooting in Seattle and the surrounding events are happening in my backyard, I’ve been following events very closely. I was guest blogging about it over at Ace’s this weekend as more news came out.

The Seattle Times had this wrap up. It is typical of what we’ve all come to expect from the nuanced left: Muslim slaughters Jews, but it’s not a hate crime. A few choice words:

At approximately 3:50 p.m., a 14-year-old girl, the niece of one of the shooting victims, approached the entrance; Haq came up behind her and put a gun to her back, ordering her to open the door.

Gun to the head of a 14 year old girl – sane and civil. It gets better, really. A pastiche:

Haq told the girl, “I’m only doing this for a statement,” the court documents say … He told Klein to tell the 911 operator to call CNN…Haq gave the operator his name and social security number and announced “this is a hostage situation,” the papers say.

The Times trips over itself to keep from calling it terrorism or even a hate crime:

Haq, 30, has also been charged with first-degree kidnapping for holding a gun to the back of a 14-year-old girl to force his way into the building; one charge of first-degree burglary and malicious harassment, the felony charge for a hate crime.

I think they would have put it in a footnote if they could have.
