In Barcelona, the guy ran over completely innocent civilians who were just going about their normal day and minding their own business. In Charlottesville, the people who were targeted were specifically there protesting against the side that ran them over.
Maybe that's more indicative of a hate crime than a terrorist crime. Maybe that is what differentiates the 2 crimes? (not saying one is any less unjust than the other though)
Either way my bigotry is being tested. Until this week if a car rammed into a crowd I assumed the driver to be an Islamic Jihadist. Now I am caught between two prejudiced assumptions : Jihadist or Cracker?
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
