| New Yorker Arrested -- Murdered Immigrants in Response to 9/11 |

| I put this under "Terror Networks" because Fred -- for some unknown reason — doesn't have a "Dickheads" section. For nearly three weeks, a special police task force hunted for a killer who was calmly shooting immigrants at work in Brooklyn and Queens. Then the suspect showed up at their front door, police said Sunday. Evil AND stupid. Great combination. Larme Price, 30, of Brooklyn, walked into a Brooklyn police precinct Friday and offered to help track down the suspect, police said. Within a day, police said, they obtained Price's confession and his stated motivation: exacting revenge for the Sept. 11 attacks. Lookit me! Lookit me! Price told authorities he was targeting people of Middle Eastern descent when he shot immigrants from Guyana, India, Russia and Yemen in convenience stores and an all-night laundry over the past two months, police said. They don't have a death penalty in New York, don't they? Price described the Guyanese, Indian and Yemeni-born victims as "Arabs" in lengthy interviews after his arrest Saturday, an investigator said. He may have shot Russian-born laundry manager Albert Kotlyar because he believed Kotlyar "disrespected" him by asking him to leave the business on March 10, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said. Gee, with an attitude like yours, Larme, I wonder why Mr. Kotlyar took a dislike to you? Kotlyar, 32, became the third victim of a killer who entered businesses in the morning and without provocation shot men inside at point-blank range. But Kotlyar's sister questioned the motive police offered. "I don't think he was looking for Middle Eastern people. I don't believe that to be true at all. Thrill killing is what they called it, and I think he was just killing whoever," said Eleonora Kotlyar, 24, who added that her brother had become an American citizen after moving to the U.S. as a child. |

| #2 I'd say send this fellow over to Palestine and let him explain it to the Hamas and other various and sundry terrorist organizations - after all they use the same logic. Save us the expense of a trial and execution. |

| #1 They most definitely have the death penalty in New York. The DA in the borough just has to have the balls to push for it. A lot of them don't. |
