My busy weekend

I am going to be tied up all weekend it looks like. The following story must be in some large liberal newspaper and surely if I look hard enough I can find it.

The driver of an SUV that plowed into a group of pedestrians at UNC-Chapel Hill on Friday told police it was retribution for the treatment of Muslims around the world, according to ABC News.

...Sources say Taheriazar told police he was seeking retribution for the treatment of Muslims around the world, according to ABC News justice correspondent Pierre Thomas. Taheriazar apparently told police he tried to rent the biggest SUV he could find to use in the attack.

The "Pit" is a sunken bricked area where students congregate. It is closely surrounded by buildings. There is no adjacent traffic. It can be accessed only via very small service access and not without carefully navigating to the pit area. There is not even the remotest possibility that this was anything other than a deliberate vehicular assault. The students were not "pedestrians;" they were merely students at a popular campus gathering spot, almost a courtyard.

Taheriazar is a native of Iran and a December 2005 UNC graduate.
