There is often a lot left out in the news. Going through the comment section was revealing. Danief Deflin is described as 'tiny, with a child like mind, loving' and going to meetings for his addiction by EmTrinDin in the comment section. Who also says the three who killed him also used heroin and that he fought back as they were killing him. He didn't mention a gun, though. EmTrinDin claims to know the parties involved and is quite angry at the judgements made by strangers and ideologues on the website. He posted several times and thought it was deleted. Here's one:
Guess my first comment got deleted?? But basicaly said.. The news and some others seem to be trying to make daniel look like a big time drug dealer which he was not. he had been on drugs due to having a bad childhood im not even going to discuss and just wanted love and to feel wanted so he found comfort in the wrong group of "friends". But he had started going to meetings to better his life and deserved a chance. He was a tiny little boy with a child like mind and personality and a great friend. So why say he got wat he deserved?? How do you know what he deserved?? Those three are trying to make it look better what they did considering all three of them have shot heroin so dont be so quick to judge.

if you were in the army maybe you'd realize you don't usually dismember someone with a gun

Yep they are scum and I would be very surprised if they pass under federal law.

Then you should have waited for the moron...instead of looking for a fight.

Well, if they'd used guns, there would be a post about the need for gun control 'cause of it.nt

a) they could have killed a lot more with a machine gun in same time; b) why do you call them crazy?

Yes. They're not insane. Legally they had a right to buy guns. Yet they didn't

Sometimes people stereotype neo-nazis as dangerous sadistic violent psychopaths. But

It's formatted incorrectly and it's a reprint of a feature, not a news story, from the SPLC.
