KILLED ONE MAN AND SHOT AT OTHERS BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGION
On April 3, 2024, APT (39) of Dallas, Texas, was sentenced to 37 years in prison (on five hate crime counts).
Apparently, APT went to Omar’s Wheels and Tires, “made anti-Muslin comments,” and indicated that he would return. On December 24, 2015, APT made good on his promise and asked individuals who were present at the establishment if they were Muslim and proceeded to discharge his firearm, killing one man and attempting to kill four others.
In a written statement, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland noted that, “As this sentence makes clear, hate crimes fueled by Islamophobia, or by bias of any kind, will be met with the full force of the Justice Department … No person in this country should have to live in fear because of who they are, what they look like, or how they pray.”
Look like APT could have used a few prayers there.
