Blond Hair and Blue Eyes "She Had to Die"

I don't know why, but I couldn't find another article about this...

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- Philip Grant, who is accused of killing a woman at a Westchester mall, told police on videotape that he is fighting "a race war against white people" and that he stabbed Connie Russo Carriero last week because she was white. Grant, who is black, said on the tape played in court: "All I knew was, she had blond hair and blue eyes and she had to die."

I saw this on the news and I believe Grant had been convicted of some sort of sexual crime and had been released into the community after serving some time.

Anyway, I understand his desperation and where he's coming from...he commented that he did this to make a statement and he wanted the death penalty. But, it would seem more reasonable to take down someone who was more directly involved in what he was acting out against - though he did say that no white person is innocent.

They say he allowed a Latina woman and an elderly white woman pass by before he chose Carriero who was an upper class woman in her 50s. He was looking for someone who was living a typical white lifestyle.

Like I said, I understand where he's coming from but murder is not the answer. The LAST thing they need to do is fulfill his desire for the death penalty after which he would be a martyr for people who think like he does.
