JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS…AND OVER A CLIFF
The recent tragic murder of the husband and mother of a US District Judge here in Chicago had the left all atwitter because, at first glance, it appeared that the Republican party…er White Supremecist groups may have been responsible.
In the mind of a moonbat, there was, of course, no difference. The hate-filled goofballs on the right were considered by the clueless kool-aid drinkers on the left as part and parcel of (depending on who you’re reading) the Christian right or the Neo-cons.
Investigators early Thursday said a man who shot himself in the head during a traffic stop in Wisconsin had a suicide note claiming responsibility for the slaying of U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow’s husband and mother last week.
Members of the task force of Chicago police and federal agents said the man’s van was stopped in West Allis, near Milwaukee, about 6 p.m. As officers approached the vehicle, the man killed himself with a gunshot to the head.
Investigators said the man had a suicide note that included an admission that he shot the judge’s family. The note included details in the case that were not released to the public, investigators said.
While it was fitting and proper for the police and FBI to concentrate on looking for suspects in all logical places, including white supremecist groups where the judge was a marked woman, leftists all across the blogosphere (and in the mainstream media) saw the tragic murders as a way to bash conservatives by trying to connect the hate groups to conservative and/or Chirstian ideology.
It didn’t work out quite that way.
Sources close to the case said they were investigating whether the judge had ruled against the man in a civil matter. He was not immediately thought to have ties to any hate group.
The note indicated that the judgment had cost the man “his house, his job and family” one source said.
Chicago police and federal investigators were en route to West Allis late Wednesday to investigate. If the man’s suicide note is true, the investigation, which had moved heavily toward the organization tied to jailed white supremacist Matthew Hale, will have ended in a starkly different realm.
Comparisons will inevitably be made between this case and the case of the coptic Christian family in New Jersey who were murdered in December by, what was thought at the time, muslim extremists. When two men were arrested for the murder of the Armanious family with no apparent ties to islamofascists, the lefty apologists for the jihadists crowed that conservatives had jumped to conclusions.
Not so fast, One of the suspects had some curious relationships while in prison:
While incarcerated in the federal system, he reportedly associated with a group of inmates who were actively involved in Islamic counseling - receiving radical fundamentalist Islamic literature during his incarceration. The prison source told Northeast Intelligence Network director Douglas Hagmann that there is indeed a religious component to the murders….Investigators from this agency are continuing the investigation to determine the veracity of those claims.
And while it may yet turn out that the tragic murders of the Armanious family had no connection to terrorism, the on-going investigation shows that the idea has not been discounted.
As for the murder of the judge’s mother and husband, if this new development pans out and shows that the judge was the victim of a disgruntled defendent, I’m sure we’ll hear all sorts of effusive apologies from the left for sliming conservatives.
Jyah! Sure!
