OK, so by now most of us have heard at least part of the news story
about the student Ohio State in Columbus who drove his car into a crowd
on the college campus, and then got out and started stabbing and
slashing people until he was shot dead by a local cop.
Since the news reports at first seemed hesitant to release his name or
description, one could almost have forecast that, when those details
were made public, he would be black or Muslim, as those are two groups
the Mainstream Media tends to protect and defend. It turns out he
was
both
But now that he's been identified, expect to hear that "Since he wasn't
yelling 'Allahu Akhbar', authorities have no reason to believe this was
in any way connected to Islam, the Religion of Peace™."
But I don't think we're going to hear much from Black Lives Matter
about how he was "another black man gunned down by a racist white cop
who declared himself judge and jury."
And, in all seriousness, are we going to hear anything about the
reports that someone pulled a fire alarm just before the car-and-knife
attack? That would have resulted in more people out on the sidewalk,
providing a more "target-rich environment"; it might also indicate that
the attacker had an accomplice. There are also police and witness
accounts which mention a second and possibly third
person
involved. But I'm sure we'll instead be hearing that he was "a lone
wolf" who "had been dealing with emotional issues".
It couldn't possibly be anything he'd read in the Most Holy Koran™ or
heard in a mosque that made him want to go out and "slay the infidel
wherever you may find him."
Actually, it has been reported that the attacker had posted on social
media about his unhappiness with the way Muslims were perceived and
treated; for example, he was upset that prayer rooms hadn't been
provided. Well, his actions will certainly go a long way toward making
people reconsider their attitudes toward Muslims, won't they?
