My heart goes out to the survivors of this terrible crime.
So if an American Muslim is shooting "indiscriminately" at American soldiers while yelling Allahu Akbar, that's not a "hate crime" or an act of "domestic terrorism".

If someone yet unidentified is shooting Sikhs "specifically" for reasons unknown, that IS a hate crime and domestic terrorism.

I'm never going to be able to keep this straight.
