Of course itās being described as āterrorismā. Hereās why: the alleged attacker is named āAmor Ftouhiā.
Had he been Bob OāReilly, yelling āJesus Christ is our savior, and you who do not recognize that should dieā, heād just be a lone-wolf, mentally disturbed individual.
Funny, that.
The story is fishier than a can of bad tuna fish.
edit: The MI republican attorney general is trying to ride into the governorās mansion next year based on the water scandal in Flint.
So letās have a little āterrorist attackā involving a poor police officer. Uh huh.
Who me, cynical?
Youāre damned right.
Violent little state you got there.
A Republican governor, Iāll bet.
And to think rightwingers want it to be easier for people like this to have automatic weapons in public places. You know, to be the āgood guy with a gunā. Oh thatās right, only upstanding white people with names like Joe Jones would be allowed to have those weapons because white people never go off half-cocked and murderous.
Ftouhi asked an officer who subdued him why he didnāt kill him.
Heās not black.
I really donāt see the benefit of branding this kind of lowlife crime as āterrorism.ā It elevates the piece of garbage who committed it to a status he doesnāt deserve, but probably aspires to. I think itās also telling that the acts of terrorism we see today are on this level.
Crazy guy with a knife. Good thing those terrorists are primitive and donāt know about gunpowder.
It wasnāt terrorism - he was trying to commit suicide-by-cop and thought this was the easiest way to provoke it.
