Arrest of the Armanious Murderers

Read both Michelle Malkin and Powerlineblog about the case solved in the Armanious murders that was referred to in the NYPost. Seems the police have arrested two drug dealers who lived above the Armanious dwelling in an apartment rented to them by the Armanious. I'm glad the police finally caught the right murderers (ie. charged with the crime).

A few months ago I made a note about these murders and how may Liberals continue not to show any signs of sympathy or express condolences (or even outrage) to the friends and families of the murdered Armanious family and would rather talk about other things just to avoid any condolences or sympathy, and go about name calling. That was my point. Some people just don't get it.

However, there are always questions involving a murder and the extreme brutality of these murders didn't help but stir more questions, including possible hate crimes. And just because two suspects were arrested. The questioning doesn't stop there. Next is to figure out exactly what their motives were for the murders since both of them were drug dealers, living in a cheap apartment and are constantly looking for money. Extreme brutality can be an indicator of a hate crime and people will naturally question whether or not the murder is hate crime related. Pretty much the same way people question the Oct. 2 killing of Daniel Fetty, a 39-year-old gay, deaf man living in his car after a fire at his apartment who was beaten with bricks, boards and bottles, stripped naked and left in a trash container in downtown Waverly. He died the next day in a Columbus hospital. The prosecutor is calling this a hate crime. The exact motive is still unclear for both of these murders, the Armanious and Fetty. Condolences all around for these unwarranted but brutal murders.

Again, I express my condolences to the Armanious family and their friends. May the Armanious family rest in peace. They're in God's graces now.
