What the hell is wrong with people these days?

Menendez, who was arrested after a tip by a passerby who saw her on a street and thought she looked like the woman in a surveillance video released by police, admitted shoving Sen, who was pushed from behind, authorities said.

"I pushed a Muslim off the train tracks because I hate Hindus and Muslims ever since 2001 when they put down the twin towers I've been beating them up," Menendez told police, according to the district attorney's office.

Sen was from India, but police said it was unclear if he was Muslim, Hindu or of some other faith. The 46-year-old lived in Queens and ran a printing shop.

Man... what the fuck. That poor woman...

By the way, people have always been messed up... people killing each other for trivial, racist reasons is nothing new, not that it is justified or cannot be changed. If all humans went a year, hell even a month, without anything like this happening I would be shocked (though really happy and extremely supportive of whatever caused the change).

I read about this earlier and shuddered. What a horrible person.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Yeah, but it's only now that this sort of thing can get really publicised. I mean, the woman, to me, seems proud of what she did. And she seems not to know the difference between Hindus and Muslims...

EDIT: Next thing you know, she'll be pleading not guilty on the grounds that since he was just a Muslim, it wasn't a murder.

Poor WOMAN? Sorry, I have no pity for her at all if her motivations were racial and based upon the fact that he simply LOOKED like a Muslim. I feel sorry for the family of the man she shoved onto the tracks.

Most people in India practice the Sikh religion, don't they?

Oh, what's this chicks beef with Hindu's? I don't recall them being involved with 9/11

India is by far majority Hindu, then Muslim, Christian and Sikh.

Well obviously this woman isn't well.  I mean she's saying Hindus were responsible for 9/11.  She needs help.

Ironbite-the help only a shiv to the kidney's can fix.

No, over 80% or so of the population is Hindu. However Sikhs are more likely to be mistaken for Muslims due to the fact that many wear turbans, and I doubt the average racist schmuck is going to realise that:
A) Not all people who wear turbans/head coverings are Muslim
and
B) Few Muslims wear turbans in the first place

Exactly, we just have a 24 hour news cycle that loves to fear monger now.

Yes, same here unfortunately.

Though that's still fucked up.  So because some Muslim fundie extremists attacked some of our buildings on our soil, you're pushing Indian people onto train tracks?  ???

How the hell does that even BEGIN to make sense?
