A.P.: "PLEASE DON'T HURT US"

The Associated Press edited the words of a Muslim man who allegedly killed three white people in downtown Fresno Tuesday afternoon and shouted “Allahu Akbar!”

The suspect, 39-year-old Kori Ali Muhammad holds fervent anti-Trump beliefs according to his social media profile, and he told police afterward that he hates white people. (RELATED: Muslim Shooter Kills Three Whites In Fresno)

Rather than reporting the gunman’s literal words, however, the AP reported the gunman as saying “God is great.”

On Twitter, the AP’s report gave no indication that the suspect’s words were said in Arabic. [full]

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a place anywhere to reply "Democracy Dies in Your Lies".

Meanwhile, contrast this Fresno murder story with the story of the last few days of Steve Stephens, who murdered a random stranger and put it on YouTube. Of course he was roundly and soundly condemned by all, because he and his victim were both black, so there was no way to find a racial angle to it.

But in this case, d'ya think the condemnation will be as universal? I think not; I think a significant portion of our population, publicly or privately, will say, "Well, I can understand how the brotha felt!"; 4/19/17, 12:15 PM

I'm glad I'm old. If I were young and full of testosterone, I'd have been arrested by now for bashing in some nonsense-shrieking Progtard's face. They make me ill, incredulous and angry all at the same time.

Anonymous said...: ^ Depends on who the Marshall is. If the Marshall would only enforce existing laws on vandalism, assault, theft and fraud (see: Clinton Foundation), malfeasance in office, perjury(see: Benghazi), sedition (see: Clinton/Russia uranium deal), etc., I'd be happy to see "Marshall" law. If you make it a crime to mask one's face on a public street, other than a masked ball, Mardi Gras or Halloween, I'm for it. If you mean local cops and a few Feds sweeping up the masked manglers and doling out jail time based on existing law, I'm all for that. If you're talking about weaponized government agency personnel kicking down people and doors based on mass collection of phone conversations, I'll pass.

Unknown said...: Martial law? Under a Demonrat regime, we were worried that martial law (one element of which would be gun confiscation, but with the "inner cities" the last to be targeted) was part of their agenda, and that the impetus to invoke martial law would be the inevitable (and I believe long overdue) "backlash" by "traditional", otherwise law-abiding Americans, in the form of vigilantism or "street justice". Frankly, I'd like to see some street justice, and maybe our current administration won't be so quick to respond with Draconian measures.; 4/19/17, 11:16 PM
