Apparently the gunman who shot and killed six Sikhs in Wisconsin today had a 9/11 tattoo. Law enforcement is calling it a case of "domestic terrorism" rather than a "hate crime." I suppose there are good reasons for such fine distinctions. And few facts seem to be available as yet.
But those that we have in hand strongly suggest that the gunman went on a murderous spree in the belief that he was killing Muslims. Of course it was a hate crime, or domestic terrorism--whatever--even if he *had* killed Muslims, but my anger is supplemented with an additional dollop of pitiless contempt for the kind of vicious ignorance that was operational in this murderous thug.
