Terrible news. Joliet is a lovely town and it's a real shame that something like this happened there. Maybe it's a little ironic that the guy's name was Romeo.

It will get appealed, I'm sure of it. Now, if a court will be willing to say she's not guilty is another matter entirely...

Why oh why can't people just let people live their lives in peace!  Why can we not get together as a community to have a little fun and joy without the worry of people's lives threaten. Ridiculous the world we live in and have to bring up children to see such evil

So ISIS vs Putin. Is it wrong to want both of them to lose?

Honestly, I think it's the wise thing to do in this scenario. The method of hiding it when a Muslim does something bad only makes the situation worse (Rotherham, Cologne  Dublin and Southport where it lead to people incorrectly assuming it was a Muslim and targeting them). The lesson from all these is to rip the bandaid off.

Not sure what's wrong with it.  In English we would probably say "of Middle Eastern appearance" which is a bit less specific.
