People who knew him describe man accused of gunning down three Muslim American students in North Carolina—an act many suspect to be a hate crime motivated by cultural difference—as angry and lacking compassion toward other people.
The man reportedly fumed often over his failure to get the parking spot he desired in the lot of his apartment complex.
AP reports:
Charged with three counts of first-degree murder is Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, who has described himself as a “gun toting” atheist. Neighbors said Wednesday that he always seemed angry and confrontational. His ex-wife said he was obsessed with the shooting-rampage movie “Falling Down” and showed “no compassion at all” for other people.

“Anytime that I saw him or saw interaction with him or friends or anyone in the parking lot or myself, he was angry,” [neighbor] Samantha Maness said. “He was very angry, anytime I saw him.”
