Kansas man accused of fatally shooting Indian engineer after shouting 'get out of my country'

[The Eagle]

I wonder how all those Indians who supported and voted for Trump feel about this tragedy? Don't they know that many Trump supporters think that all brown people are either Middle Eastern and/or Muslim? How many Indians -- Sikhs especially -- have been attacked and killed because they were mistaken for being Muslim since 9/11?

Wake up, people!

Not a good call. Things goes beyond 9/11 though are more reported or become prominent since then after.

But that guy was working in US defense industry .




Try to think a bit more bigger . Gramin produces defense equipment.

Barack once worked for the white house too.

Fair point.

Yes, I saw your previous post that it this attack is just some conspiracy to derail India-US relations. I doubt this one incident is going to do much. Nevertheless, you will need more evidence than the Indian who was killed was working for a defence contractor.

Unless the victim was a US-citizen, he would not be working on US defence projects.

As a foreigner, from now on, I would try to stay away from any bar in redneck states. The combination of alcohol and guns is deadly.

indians have been targeted way before 9/11. Have you people heard of the Dot busters in new jersey?

That was over 25 years ago in some local area in New Jersey. Pretty isolated compared to the continental US.

No it's not 9/11 it's the xenophobic and sadistic nature of european immigrants to blame.

There's plenty of xenophobic people on this planet who aren't European.

Referring to reports that US-based software firm CA Technologies has disbanded its almost 300-person research and development team in China while setting up a team in India with some 2,000 scientific and technical professionals over the past few years, it said, "with a sufficient young talent pool, India is becoming increasingly attractive."

Atleast those xenophobic people are indigenous to their land. European immigrants are not indigenous to America,israel or Australia but pretend like those lands are their sole property.

Dot busters had been active since 80's in New jersey and New york. More than 57 cases of hate crimes against indians have been reported in 1991 proves my point and debunks the indian apologist claims here.

Its very sad and unsafe now for all minorities in the US.

As sad as it is, I would remind what I said to Indians when they were celebrating hate speeches against Muslims. Any Increase in hate crimes in the US will cause more harm to Indians than Muslims. Jews are the first one to speak out against discrimination against muslims or any other group because they know any hate may eventually turn towards them.

That's sad people of Kansas are simple where this hate is comming from?
American dream dying everyday.

Wait a minute...you have a Haitian flag...you aren't exactly indigenous. I dont think there are any Taino left.

 

[Imad.Khan]

You mean to say the perpetrator was white so it can't be labelled a terrorist attack.

and that too.

True. South Asians in general were never liked by main stream American population.
Even if India signed her sovereignty to US, they are still not well liked in US

A Kansas man is accused of shooting and killing an Indian immigrant engineer he thought was Middle Eastern and wounding two others after shouting "get out of my country" and opening fire.

Adam Purinton was arrested after fleeing Austin's Bar and Grill, a suburban Kansas City restaurant that was packed Wednesday night when he allegedly blasted off several rounds at 7:15 p.m.

Cops arrested the 51-year-old at an Applebee's hours later in Clinton, Mo., some 80 miles away after they were able to negotiate with him over the phone early Thursday morning.

Purinton was charged with premeditated murder and two counts of attempted murder, Johnson County, Kan., District Attorney Steve Howe said at an afternoon press conference.

The slain victim was identified by authorities as Srinivas Kuchibhotla, an aviation engineer at technology company Garmin, originally Hyderabad, India.

Kuchibhotla's co-worker Alok Madasani, a 32-year-old whose LinkedIn page shows he also attended school in India before moving to the Kansas City area in the mid 2000s, was wounded in the shooting and remains at the hospital.

Garmin spokeswoman Carly Hysell told the Daily News that the company is not publicly identifying the employees, but that the second worker is no longer in critical condition.

A GoFundMe page for Kuchibhotla's loved ones had raised more than $38,000 as of Thursday afternoon as those who knew the engineer mourned his passing.

Siva Sattanathan, a friend of both Kuchibhotla and Madasani from their days working together in Iowa, told the Daily News that pair, both Hindus from Hyderabad, were good friends.

"He was very polite. He could not start a fight at all," Sattanathan said, adding that the slain immigrant was known for his friendliness.

Another fundraising page for the third victim, 24-year-old Ian Grillot, said he "stood up for two people being mistreated by a man" but then "found himself in the wrong place trying to be a helping hand."

Witnesses told the Kansas City Star that Purinton been drinking hard, and continually exclaimed racial slurs. When a bar regular told him to stop, the man yelled "get out of my country" before he started shooting.

Purinton allegedly told a bartender at the second bar, in Missouri, that he had killed two men who he called "Middle Eastern."

Prosecutors and police did not elaborate on details of the shooting at a Thursday afternoon press conference.

An FBI representative said that investigators are looking into whether the shooting violated federal laws such as those involving hate crimes.

Purinton appeared in court on Thursday and waived extradition so he can be taken back to Kansas.

The point is that it (USA) is not his (the shooter) country in the first place - they are the occupiers of Red Indians country.

The Indian guy I think started the fight with the innocent citizen of United states , always trouble makers

These kind of fights always start in urban bars and other places, it is just story becasue some Indian person got shot such incidents happen every day or week in USA , every single night one hears about some random shooting in bar or club on news


"Bar" = Alcohol = Trouble

Just for the record 1 white guy also got shot

So clearly , the media is not telling the full story simple blaming it as hate crime , really I have doubts on such claims

How about we walk about this white guy

“I guess I miscounted,” Grillot said Thursday from his hospital room, in a video released by the University of Kansas Health System. He had acted, he said, to try to stop a man who had just shot two other bar patrons, one of whom died.

“I wasn’t really thinking when I did that,” Grillot said. “It was just, it wasn’t right, and I didn’t want the gentleman to potentially go after somebody else.”


Unfortunate accused man , by virtue of being in wrong place at wrong time
Hopefully people can find a proper lawyer

Mr Purinton is not guilty untill the courts decide on the case

PS Why were the Indian guys at Beef Grill place ? Ordering Vegetable salad, don't they eat Vege burger

Now if you will eat Beef and disobey


I don't know not convinced it was hate crime , might be some confrontation or argument by 2-3 drunk people

Many Americans await complete Ban on H1B visa and othershort cuts due to jobs moving to India and that is the sentiment in Suburb USA

In a brief phone interview on Friday night, Mr. Madasani described the remarks made Wednesday by the man sitting near him and Mr. Kuchibhotla at the restaurant. “He asked us what visa are we currently on and whether we are staying here illegally,” Mr. Madasani said. (Both men were educated in the United States and were working here legally.)

Seems like we are missing some .....view point from other side of picture


Within minutes, an emergency dispatcher, in a transmission archived by the Broadcastify website, told officers, “We’re being advised the suspect’s name is Adam, and he’s a white male wearing a white shirt with military medals.”


Mr Purinton's mother stated that her son is generally intoxicated but he never is a type that attacks anyone so she and her inner circle are suprised at the alleged allegation

Seems like the man was angry he got kicked out of his own country's resturant , while he had military medals and other acknowledgements. He was just making sure the 2 guys were not illegally there on illegal visas


Summary:

• Allegation of some disturbances and escalation
  
• Citizen vs person on Visa (the citizen was asking for visa status)
  
• Resturant decided to throw out a Military Retired guy with medals on chest
• Fuel to fire , person was intoxicated
• Shooting with out thought (People of different color effected)
  
• Nothing to do with Middle eastern men etc
• Drugs may be involved

To my understanding US is deporting illegal immigrants and there are local citizens who may have understood that to be a green signal to ask people about their visa status

I think Indians also do same in Mubai , stop and beat up people or do crimes in Mumbai and threaten them with crime

Note :
The story does not states what visa were the people on when they were in USA
H1B visa abuse is quite well known in US circles and folks in Urban USA are generally a bit more "Rough" , due to alcohol usage



Lesson of day .... avoid Drunk maniacs
