Chapel Hill shooting: Craig Stephen Hicks condemned all religions on Facebook prior to 'Muslim mass-murder' arrest
The man arrested on suspicion of killing three young Muslims in North Carolina described himself as an “anti-theist” and criticised all religions online.
Police said 46-year-old Craig Stephen Hicks handed himself in to officers in Chapel Hill overnight in the wake of the deaths of 23-year-old Deah Shaddy Barakat, his wife Yusor Mohammad, 21, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19.
He has been arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder.
As tributes poured in for the young family, a Facebook page in Hicks’ name showed that he read paralegal studies at Durham Technical Community College and described himself as a supporter of “Atheists for Equality”.
A regular social media user, his last three posts were a cute dog video about the Pavlov effect, a viral advert for Air New Zealand involving mountain bikes, and a picture from United Atheists of America asking “why radical Christians and radical Muslims are so opposed to each others’ influence when they agree about so many ideological issues”.
TV programmes liked by Hicks include The Atheist Experience, Criminal Minds and Friends, while he describes himself as a fan of Thomas Paine’s The Age of Reason and Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion.
Hicks’ pictures largely consist of images with text mocking religion and supporting atheism, but include images of himself and his wife at Disneyland, what he describes as his “loaded 38 revovler”, and himself separately on a quad bike and wearing a suit.
The shooting of the three Muslims has been widely condemned across social media, including by Richard Dawkins himself, who tweeted: “How could any decent person NOT condemn the vile murder of three young US Muslims in Chapel Hill?”
Other users have called on people to donate to a charity in Deah Barakat’s honour. The victim volunteered for a number of agencies providing dental relief to Syrian and Palestinian refugees, as well as caring for homeless people in the US.
There are no fedoras where he's going...

I'm looking forward to this guys motivation to shoot these particular Muslims. I know he hated all religions, but you think you'd go and shoot up an entire Mosque/Church/Synagogue or something.

It's possible he didn't have the balls to try and these people were just extremely unlucky.

Living a few years in a crap apartment complex just outside of Baltimore, I can believe this incident happened because of parking. I've seen some downright Hatfield vs McCoy type stuff all because of parking.
You want your ass kicked or your property fethed with? Move someone's lawn chair that they put in their parking spot they just cleared of snow. Its serious business. Even during normal weather, if someone gets their private parking spot taken... War.
People are scary weird about parking.

The comment was more horror/disgust that such a trivial thing could even be considered a motive.

We mustn't live in the same world... I've read of people being murdered because they didn't wan't to share a cigarette, compared to that parking is one hell of a good reason.
Also, even if the true reason for the murder was a parking space and not a religious crime, he should still suffer additional aggravating circumstances to his sentence for his help in divulging dog videos!

Evidence that they were killed because they were Muslims? This sounds like a parking dispute, according to the news.

Yeah... parkings a big deal in big cities... Ive seen lots of fights over parking.
In london, a parking spot costs more then most houses, stealing one means you often cannot do anything but frive around for hours/KM till you find somewhere to put your car. Most "reasons" to kill people are not that reasonable but I can definatly see the trigger here.
and now on with the jokes:

Not so much. People that appear as otherwise normal and well adjusted can snap and do horrible things, immediately show remorse/regret and turn themselves in under their own volition.
I'd say the ones that escalate the situation by fleeing/barricading themselves up are the minority, its just that it becomes a bigger story when that happens, so it seems more common than it is.

Where's the evidence again? A couple Facebook posts about religion? Using the Dakka-corrected vernacular, vague Facebook post about Atheism --> Religiously-motivated mass murder logic is "slowed."

That is so fethed up. If you hate religion (spoiler: I do), try to destroy religions, not people! Religions dies when people stop to believe in them and start believing in something else, not when every believer is killed…
Well, atheism is an absence of religion, not a system of belief. So of course it is not a non-religion of peace, or a non-religion of war. It is a non-religion of nothingness  .

I don't know about this. Something is strange about someone willingly going to jail for the rest of their life.

Not sure what you mean. People do it all the time.
It may even help with sentencing, when the time comes. But that usually depends on local laws and how zealous the prosecutor is.

This is an article from my local ABC affiliate on the matter.
Purportedly there were issues before and the reason that hate crimes were even brought up is as follows:
The statements prompted the Council on American Islamic Relations Wednesday to call on law enforcement to address a "possible bias motive" for the shootings.
"Based on the brutal nature of this crime, the past anti-religion statements of the alleged perpetrator, the religious attire of two of the victims, and the rising anti-Muslim rhetoric in American society, we urge state and federal law enforcement authorities to quickly address speculation of a possible bias motive in this case," said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad.
So they don't think that it exists, but they want it to be clarified as quickly as possible so as to avoid issues that could crop up.
