An Arab-Israeli Christian who came to the United States who randomly stabs black people, killing five, injuring many more (see article from The Post).
You can’t make this up. All the good serial killer movies are based on real life (white) killers in whole or parts, then this guy comes along, completely changing up the typical lineup of crazy white loners.
Or, maybe that whole white loner thing was wrong from the start, and was only connected to several high-profile cases while many other people of different races were running around killing people, too. Certainly, we all learned something with the D.C. snipers, but as the facts came out about John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, things started making a bit more sense.
But really, an Arab-Israeli Greek Orthodox Christian who stabs black people in the U.S.? What next, a white Nova Scotian Hindu who moves to South Africa to run over old ladies with his Trans Am?
Surely more information will come out about Elias Abuelazam. We’ll learn that when he was a kid, he enjoyed torturing animals and that he was sexually abused… you know, the obvious. But maybe not. And that’s the scary part, because when these freaks fit a typical description, we find them easier to lump together. But with guys like this, it seems that there is no longer a typical description. You know, except for being male.
