Stabbings at UC Merced

[poindexter]

4 wounded. Stabber shot and killed.

Kinda surprising that by last night, CNN still didn't have the attacker's name.

Have we learned his name yet?

 

[poindexter]

The first LA Times story with his name appeared exactly one hour ago.

No indication of terrorism in UC Merced attacks, chancellor says

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Of course not. Move along. Nothing to see here.

 

[poindexter]

It took the LA Times as long to post his name as it did the UC administrators to determine that this was not a terrorist act.

 

[poindexter]

These poor students. Its bad enough that they have to live in Merced.

Is ass rape an act of terrorism?

Inside the backpack were zip-tie handcuffs, two clear bags containing petroleum jelly, a night-vision scope, a safety hammer (which the sheriff described as a “device used to break windows”), two rolls of duct tape and separate small pieces of duct tape, Warnke said.

Well ...

Nice to hear the Sheriff say there are many people of the Islamic faith who are good people.

Anybody know where Ben Carson was?

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

And many who aren't, qt, but that's not an issue anywhere in the world every day.

If only we'd had stronger knife control laws, this could have been avoided.

I can't believe that anyone would suggest that the Muslim guy, who invoked Allah in his murderous manifesto, was influenced at all by Islam when he planned his attack.

Anger over being kicked out of a UC Merced study group drove an 18-year-old computer science student to make a precise plan to kill “a lot of people,” according to a two-page, hand-written manifesto found during his autopsy, authorities said Thursday.
...
Wearing his signature cowboy hat, the sheriff told a crowd of reporters Thursday “there is nothing to indicate this was anything other than a teenage boy who got upset with fellow classmates.”

Asked if the manifesto made any references to Allah, Warnke said there were, but dismissed any suggestion that Mohammad was motivated by religion.

“His belief was through the Muslim faith, but there’s nothing to indicate anything other than that,” Warnke said. “It’d be like a Christian referring to the Lord Jesus.”

“You’ve got to remember there are a lot of Muslim-faith (people) that are very kind, gentle, loving people and to have one person do this, you can’t group that whole section of folks into that. It’s just not right,” Warnke said.

Jeez, is that your standard quote? Sure there are bad people who are Muslims, but there are bad people in all subgroups and IMHO Muslims are no different from any other cross-section.

Yeah, no different. Guess the media just isn't covering all the daily worldwide terrorists attacks by other like-minded extremist groups.
