    Hate crime or not, he’s an asshole and deserves the highest penalty justice can give. What could they possibly have taken from you that you had to take their lives away from others, were you upset they were doing a job you could never perform?

    Kansas man charged in shooting of two Indians in possible hate crime By Brendan O’Brien and Aditya Kalra February 24, 2017

    A Kansas man was charged on Thursday with shooting to death an Indian man and wounding a second Indian man and an American in a bar, and federal authorities are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.

    The killing led news bulletins in India and drew strong reactions on social media, where people voiced concern that U.S. President Donald Trump’s “America First” position on immigration and jobs has fueled a climate of intolerance.

    Adam Purinton, 51, was charged in Johnson County, Kansas, with one count of premeditated first degree murder and two counts of attempted premeditated first degree murder, Johnson County District Attorney Stephen Howe told a news conference.

    Purinton is accused of shooting and killing Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, and wounding Alok Madasani, also 32, in the Austins Bar and Grill in Olathe, Kansas, on Wednesday evening, according to a statement from the Olathe Police Department.

    At least one bystander told the Kansas City Star the man shouted “get out of my country” before shooting the Indian men. He is also accused of wounding American Ian Grillot, 24, who was shot when he tried to intervene.

    “People call me a hero … I was just doing what anyone should have done for any other human being,” Grillot said in a video interview released by the hospital where he was undergoing treatment for gunshot wounds to the hand and chest.
