The facts are not in, and the police investigation is still in its beginning stages. But that never stops media and the agenda-driven from reaching their own conclusions.

On Saturday afternoon, in a quiet neighborhood in Queens, NY, a Bangladeshi-born Muslim imam and his assistant were shot in the backs of their heads after leaving a prayer service.

The imam was identified as Maulama Akonjee, 55, and his assistant as Thara Uddin, 64. The lone gunman, who at the time of this writing has not been apprehended, was described as “tall and dark-skinned.”

Enraged residents automatically declared the killings to be a “hate crime.”

Various media outlets were eager to lay the blame at the feet of. . . you guessed it: Donald Trump.
