Birthright Killing

This seems strange. Someone went crazy in Texas and started killing people. On the other hand, it is not so strange.

It strikes me this incident is related to failed integration of foreigners. It must drive some foreigners crazy to be labeled as American. Like this guy lied and said his birthplace was Palestine when he was born in Virginia. That sounds like a typical feeling of someone born in the USA who doesnt enjoy being American and feels like outsider then goes nuts. I relate to him sort of. You are born in a bad place, especially The South, Virginia, but you aren’t Presbyterian or Scots-Irish enough, so you go crazy. Foriegners will tell you about how you are American, but it only makes you go more crazy because you dont feel like one. Then you are at odds continually with your own race and nationality. Strangely, I would blame foreigners for this. It strikes me that he might have received flack for being born in the States and speaking fluent English. It only proves further to me about the confusions of American identity.
