Some blogs are predicting that
this will be the next big 'Islamophobia' incident trumped up by CAIR. An veteran US soldier shot a Middle Eastern man outside of his apartment after he claimed two men rushed him. He asserted that they harrassed him previously; they claimed they were just minding their own business and had never seen him before.
The attackers made a big mistake, however, in using a typical Middle Eastern big lie:
"Bualsafared said neither he nor his friend...knew anything about Perkins before he confronted them as they walked by his apartment."
Big lies are easy to disprove in court. I will therefore predict at the outset how this will end.
All it will take to prove their mendacity will be a single eyewitness to their earlier abuse. Nearly as effective would be a contemporaneous witness to Craig Perkins complaining about them.
