<p>Quick: what is the appropriate response to the stabbing death of a human?</p> 
<p>And let's just never mind the fact that the stabbing was <a href="http://www.theroot.com/alt-reich-nation-member-charged-with-murder-in-stabbing-1795420915" type="external">completely random and unprovoked</a>. Or that the victim just happened to be days away from graduating from Bowie State University and had recently been commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army and was preparing to move to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, for training in defending the country against chemical attacks.</p> 
<p>What is important here, since it seems to be the only thing that is ever important in these situations, is that the victim - Richard Collins III, 23 - was Black. His murderer, Christopher Urbanski, 22, who saw fit to plunge a knife into Collins's chest for reasons <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/22/us/black-student-stabbed-maryland.html?_r=0" type="external">no one apparently knows</a> but the FBI is investigating as a "possible" (possible!!!) hate crime, is white.</p>

<p>Yes, "possible." As a matter of fact, Urbanski, who was charged with assault and first- and second-degree murder and is being held without bail, is a member of the white supremacist Facebook group Alt-Reich: Nation, according to <a href="http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/NATL-DCFamily-Identifies-Bowie-State-Univ-Student-Stabbed-Killed-at-UMd-423505764.html" type="external">NBC 4 Washington</a>. So yes, it is fair to say that it is certainly "possible" this was a hate crime.</p> 
<p>Ah, but the story doesn't end there, because why would it.</p> 
<p>After Collins died, a civilian employee of the Anne Arundel County Police Department in Maryland <a href="http://www.theroot.com/radical-extremist-discovered-working-in-police-departme-1795481640" type="external">took to social media to praise the act</a>.</p> 
<p>Welby Burgone, a police-academy recruit and obvious national treasure in Trump's America, worked in the Anne Arundel County Police Department&#8217;s communications department as a civilian employee. He was also a classmate and presumable "boy" of Urbanski's. When one Matt Worth posted on Twitter: "Fuck Yeah Sean!!!! That&#8217;s what happens when n***as try and get frosty with an OG. Talk shit, stabbed, lol."</p> 
<p>To which Burgone replied with a meme that he apparently found funny, even though it objectively isn't funny under ANY circumstances, and certainly not when it refers to the slaying of a fellow human being.</p>

<p>Thankfully, because sometimes the world isn't a completely awful place, the Anne Arundel Police Department also didn't find it funny and immediately suspended Burgone, issuing the following <a href="http://www.capitalgazette.com/news/for_the_record/ph-ac-cn-police-post-0523-20170522-story.html" type="external">statement</a>:</p> 
<p>"The actions of this employee are a betrayal of the values of the Anne Arundel County Police Department. Any employee who espouses or supports hateful or racist ideology will be held accountable and we will not allow the public&#8217;s trust in their police department to be eroded."</p> 
<p>This person is, however, still alive and freely roaming the streets being a good ol' 'Murican and contributing to the "dialogue" on his possible pro-hate crime radical extremist white supremacist group, and will go on to find employment elsewhere and ban together with like-minded fragile white men and possibly even reproduce and indoctrinate his progeny into his viciously racist ideology, all the while hiding behind his God and guns, so, awesome.</p> 
<p>Honestly it's hard to say what the most disturbing part of this story even is.</p>
