You nailed it blotto. Anyone cheering this guy on is no different from the people who dance in the streets when a US Embassy is bombed, or the folks who reacted to 9/11 with cries of "Oh, they deserved it because of AMERICAN IMPERIALISM!" Granted this particular action was on a much smaller scale, but the mentality is EXACTLY the same: justify brutal inhumane acts with the notion that you're struggling valiantly for the "greater good"--be that Allah, Marxism, A Free and Unified Ireland or "sending a message to the IRS"...they all lead to the same end, and that usually involves someone you do happen to love and care about eventually getting killed because they weren't in line with the "greater good".

yeah then he'd be as cool as Bin Laden, great guy!

what minority localpdx? Egyptian American, because I certainly haven't heard of any other Egyptians committing crimes in Oregon as of late.....Oh wait, it sounds like you were dumb enough to think a guy named "Mussa Isai Dabud" was Latino!
And just to be clear, white folks seem to ALWAYS occupy news headlines for their continual criminal activity as well, but conveniently their race doesn't matter to you in your assessment of society's ills. I wonder why?
