Oh, fuck. Another excuse to ratchet up the xenophobia to 11.
Well, this is going to be used to support the 2nd amendment argument for years to come. "You can attack a group of people with a car or a knife, but you don’t hear suggestions for “car control” or “knife control”.
Oy.
Trump: All Blacks must register on their way back to Africa. In the meantime, only The Whites can own a gun, preferably govt approved Assault Rifle at tax payer’s expense.
So, not a refugee, but close enough to give the MSM an excuse for false equivalence?
…but but knives…who gets to own THOSE???
Still waiting for the blaring headline with the ethnicity/race/nationality of the jerk who send those threatening mosque letters or the bah-zillion other hate crimes since Trump has been nominated.
ISIS loves Trump!
It’s not going to be the last such incident either. There will be plenty of more “undesirables” going postal in Trump’s America, and it will feed into Trump’s hysterics. The vicious cycle has started, and will pick up speed.
Galloway and Columbus students named to the Columbus State Community College dean’s list for the spring 2016 semester include Michael Abbate, Shuaib Abdi, Mohamed Abdi, Maria Abdulkadir, Teresa Ables, Ali Ahmed, Reem Ahmed, Bernadette Akpeko, Kristal Alicea, James Amelung, Latifa Amghar, Michael Andrews, ***Abdul Razak Artan,***…
Meh…they don’t need an excuse. They’ll do it anyway. This is more like giving Viagra to a chronic obsessive masturbater. Don’t worry though…eventually their dicks will chafe.
Thing is though:
Knife attack = several injured, none seriously.
Gun attack = numerous dead and more in critical condition.
A nuance that I’m sure the NRA and the ammosexual community is happy to ignore.
My first thought was I hope Jim Harbaugh has a good alibi.
In Columbus OH our Somali population is so large. and we had a previous knife attack in a restaurant just last spring, it won’t make that big of a difference. But in the contiguous counties and the rest of rural Ohio, it will be an all points bulletin. And of course our rural in-laws will ask if our next door neighbors are from Somalia for the umpteenth time.
“No Uncle Crazy, they are from WEST Africa.”
What is Trump going to say/do to make this horrible situation worse?
The attacker didn’t go after a ref!
“I told you so!” is screaming to be released via his Twitter account right now.
That was the sweet, sweet frosting on that delicious cake.
Oh, Sniffit. You’re always able to see the silver lining.
Excerpted from an article at The Daily Beast …
Artan described himself as a pious and scared Muslim in an interview with the Ohio State student newspaper in August.
“I wanted to pray in the open, but I was scared with everything going on in the media,” he told The Lantern after transfering from Columbus State Community College. “I’m a Muslim, it’s not what the media portrays me to be. If people look at me, a Muslim praying, I don’t know what they’re going to think, what’s going to happen. But, I don’t blame them. It’s the media that put that picture in their heads so they’re going to just have it and it, it’s going to make them feel uncomfortable. I was kind of scared right now. But I just did it. I relied on God. I went over to the corner and just prayed.”
(emphasis mine)
Sounds like his fear overcame him and he snapped.
It's time for more signs like this one, from outside a mosque in Texas, no less.
