World Notices Cobb Shooting Death

Usually after a police officer kills someone, the reaction focuses on whether the shooting was justified.

Not in the .

While her fatal shooting at the Sunday morning remains under investigation by , even two people who said they are her siblings commented on Patch that they hold no ill will toward the officer.

"I pray that the officer involved finds some type of peace with knowing he took a life out of fear for his own life," posted Patch user Bennie Barnette, who said he was the woman's brother.

But the Internet is full of fresh commentary on what Barnette admitted doing in April: sending a bloody pig's foot to New York Congressman Peter King and mailing a package featuring a Curious George doll with a "FINAL DESTINATION: AUSCHWITZ" note to New York state Sen. Greg Ball.

A reporter for the British Daily Mail even picked up the story.

Should people just let Jameela Barnette rest in peace?

Barnette, who reportedly said she was a Muslim angry about Islamaphobia fomented by the lawmakers, was indicted on federal charges last month, the New York Daily News reported.

King told WABC-TV there's no Islamaphobia in the United States.

He told Politico he felt sad for Barnette, who Cobb police say assaulted the officer who wound up killing her.

"She was obviously deranged and had serious mental issues," King told Politico, adding that he blames distorted media coverage of the hearings he led on whether American Muslims were being radicalized.

King's comments were on the nice side of what's being said about Barnette:

• "Muslim wacko woman" shot dead, wrote the Last Tradition blog.
• The Answering Muslims blog called her charge out of the Penny Lane apartment with a gun and knife "an apparent act of 'Christmas Jihad.' "
• Conservative commentator Debbie Schlussel called Barnette a "Muslim Jew-Hater" and said her death is something we won't see on All-American Muslim.
