Kori Ali Muhammad was the victim of a deadly shooting on April 19. He is 39 years old and African American. He said he killed the 3 white men because he hates white people. While doing the shooting he was chanting "God is great" in Arabic. These men did not provoke the shooter they were just randomly chosen off of race. He even posted that he hated all whites on his Facebook page.

When someone targets a certain group of people such as blacks, whites, or latinos in a crime like this its classified as a hate crime. Hate crimes mean more jail time for who ever convicted of them. It is still trying to be decided if this should be changed as a hate crime.

I feel that this event was a clear act of a hate crime and that he should be charged with it. Kori posted about hating any white people then went and shot 3 white males. If you ask me thats no coincidence, Kori defiantly went into this shooting with that mindset as well, making this a hate crime.
