Talk about a textbook case of trying to make the evidence fit the notion instead of the other way around.

Atsounding.

Shouldn't be that big of a surprise now-a-days.

Fits right in with the media's agenda of .... "One is Guilty until proven Innocent."

I started to pink it up, but it's too close to the truth.

BTW, is "atsounding" a word, or did you spell one wrong?

Richard has been making a number of typo's the last week or so. I think CA is catching up on him.

So given the Mongol influence, they could be geographically and ethnically Asian, at least partially.

But the area of Dagestan is also part of the Caucasus, so they might be Caucasian.

http://www.infoplease.com/encycloped...#ixzz2SeSqeA5i

"An ancient area of human settlement, Dagestan belonged to Caucasian Albania in the 1st millennium B.C. It was later invaded by Huns, Persian Sassanids, and, in the 7th cent. A.D., by Arabs, who introduced Islam. Taken by the Turks in the 11th cent. and the Mongols in the 13th cent., the region became the center of a struggle between Turkey and Persia in the 15th cent. It was a Persian province when Russia annexed it by the Treaty of Gulistan in 1813. Muslim mountain dwellers resisted Russian domination until 1859, and a new revolt erupted in 1877, during the Russo-Turkish war of that year. Dagestan came under Soviet rule in 1920 and in 1921 was made an autonomous republic."

Maybe we shouldn't be putting ourselves into these neat little boxes, since most of us have a wide variety of ancestry.

Why does it really matter?

If one is going to use history to profile this cohort or to demonize that one, then how surprised should one be when others make profiles all their own?

I was referring to the tone of this thread and what it implies based upon the media's straight-forward reporting of an FBI investigation into the potential terroristic activities of a 25YO Minnesota man with possible ties to the BSM.

Astounding.

Regardless, I'll never stop demonizing asshole cohorts.
