Authorities later charged Ali Muhammad Brown with murder. After his arrest, Brown said his motive was Dire Revengeâ„¢ for U.S. actions in the Middle East. This led to New York-area radio host Todd Pettengill sounding off on what he sees as an act of domestic terrorism."If there was ever a reason to riot in the streets in the name of humanity, it would be for this case. But has that happened? No, and I'm not suggesting that it should. ...This should be talked about and written about and the American people should know. Why's Eric

not visiting the Tevlin family? Why is the president not going to mention Brendan Tevlin tonight?" Pettengill said Wednesday on WPLJ's "The Todd Show."
Martha MacCallum, who has highlighted the Tevlin case on America's Newsroom, spoke to Pettengill about what he thinks should happen as a result of Tevlin's death.
Pettengill said he may not have heard about this story if his daughter hadn't been friends with the Tevlin family.
"Where is the outrage for a young man, 19 years old, who was killed because he was an American? That's it. There's no two sides to this story," he lamented.
MacCallum said initially, people wrongly assumed that Tevlin was killed buying drugs, but it turned out there was no drug-related element to the crime.
"Now we know that he was targeted because he was a white man alone in his car," she noted.
MacCallum pointed out that Brown is the suspect in three other assassinations. She noted that it looks like a case of "serial terrorism."
Pettengill said he reached out to the family to make sure they were OK that he speak on his show about his outrage over the killing.
"This kid was murdered because he was an American and that's where the story should begin. That's where the discussion should take place. Because domestic terrorism is here. It happened in New Jersey," said Pettengill.
Pettengill asked people to call attention to the murder on social media using #BrendanTevlin and visit the Facebook page dedicated to Tevlin's memory.
So where has the national media been on this story? "Outnumbered" took on that question this afternoon.
