'Kansas Man Indicted for Hate Crime'

[bobabode]

"A federal grand jury has indicted Adam Purinton—the man who shot two Indian immigrants at a bar in Olathe, Kansas on February 22—for a hate crime, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Friday. Purinton, a 52-year-old resident of Olathe, was also accused of violating a federal firearms statute. He was previously charged with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder, and is currently being held in the Johnson County jail on a $2 million bond. If convicted, Purinton could face the death penalty or life in prison.
On March 6, a Johnson County judge released an affidavit accusing Purinton of fatally shooting Srinivas Kuchibhotla and attempting to kill Alok Madasani, both 32-year-old engineers at a tech firm who had immigrated from India to the U.S. The two men were reportedly sitting together on the patio of Austins Bar & Grill when Purinton, wearing a white shirt and a white scarf on his head, told them to “get out of my country.” Madasani later told police that Purinton also asked if their “status was legal.” At that point, two bar patrons, including 24-year-old Ian Grillot, attempted to intervene by asking Purinton to leave. Purinton was escorted from the premises by bar employees, but returned to the patio 30 minutes later with a handgun.
According to the affidavit, this is when the shooting began. While Madasoni was shot once in the leg, Kuchibhotla incurred three bullet wounds and was later pronounced dead at the University of Kansas Hospital. Purinton also shot Grillot in the hand and upper chest after Grillot chased him in the wake of the incident. The bullet barely missed Grillot’s carotid artery and succeeded in fracturing a vertebrae in his neck. “A lot of people are calling me a hero … and it’s not like that,” Grillot told the local KMBC 9 News. “I was just doing what anyone should have done for another human being.”" Atlantic

I hope this scum lives out his days in abject fear in a small cage. Execution would be too merciful.
