I'm sure it was and if I were of Middle Eastern orgins (or even looked like I might be) I would not want to be working in a public place right now. Especially a convenience store! It's a hazardeous job anyway. Hardly a night's news goes by that there is not a report of some poor clerk being killed in a robbery for $35 or less. A majority of the time the clerks are from some race other than "anglo". I wonder how much higher that will be now and perhaps robbery will not necessarily be the motive for the killing!

So when should we open up the camps?
The very nice middle eastern people that own a store near me are very scared wondering which nut will consider it their patriotic duty to enter their store and open fire or worse. They are Egyptian and Coptic Christians who came here to worship freely.

Our local corner store is run by a Hindu family (from India). Very nice people. The wife is afraid to be in the store by herself right now.
