Terrence Lavaron Thomas faces multiple state charges
A Detroit man stabbed two people at a suburban bus stop after asking his victims whether or not they were Muslim, according to police. Federal authorities are now looking at the case as a potential hate crime, police said on Tuesday.
Both of the victims were standing at the bus stop outside of Detroit with the suspect on Saturday, Southfield Police Chief Eric Hawkins said. Several people there engaged in conversation until the suspect, identified by Hawkins as 39-year-old Terrence Lavaron Thomas, asked some of the folks there if they were Muslims.
Two of them answered, the chief told The Post on Tuesday: They were not Muslims.
[Thomas] was not not happy with that answer, Hawkins said. Shortly after, without provocation, Thomas pulled out a 3-inch folding knife and attacked one of them, Hawkins said....

That stupid asshole would have his knife in his brain if it were me. I don’t believe in theft.
I carry a quarterstaff, um, er, walking stick when I’m forced to use public transportation.
Another Nut Job.
I wonder when obama will condemn this. He always gets his two cents in on “hate” crimes, right? right?
Yeah, when does this happen to me? The hard part would be pretending not to be excited! Damn. 3” blade? BWA HA HA HA. what a p()ssy.
Well, in Obamas mind, it’s not “hate” if it happens this way. How did we end up with a bigoted loony like that as President of the US?
Lol!!!!!
And now...get this...THEY’VE DELETED THE WORD “MUSLIM” FROM THE TITLE. Twilight Zone meets Orwell.
He could be Jesse Jackson’s illegitimate son.
Q: Who brings a knife to a discussion about religion?
A: A Muslim of course.
Looks like he could be Jesse Jackson’s brother.
Looking at the photo, he has a strange, eerily confused look about him. He definitely looks like he has missed a bus or two. Wonder if he belongs to one of those "Doo Dah" tribes you hear about all the time?
In Texas, if you pull out a 3-inch folding knife in public you better be fixin' to clean your fingernails, cut a plug of chewing tobaccy, or peel an apple. Otherwise, you may get an a$$ kicking or a laugh depending on the mood of the moment. Maybe both if it's not your lucky day.

Sure, what else could he do.

He just needs a full-time job to get him off the street.
He just wanted to make sure he didn’t stab any Muslims, unless he had a blood feud with their family, or they belonged to a different sect, or they publicly humiliated him and he had to redeem his honor, or...he had to stab someone, so he was careful whom.
Channel 7 Action News reports that the victims were attacked “because of their religion”. That’s bullshit, okay?...The attacker “allegedly” approached the victims and asked them if the were Muslim. None of the victims stated what their religions and/or beliefs were. All they said to the attacker was “no” and still, they were attacked.
If Channel 7 Action News could bring itself to value technical correctness as much as they do political correctness then maybe their viewership could actually learn something rather than be “educated” by this left-leaning, Obama-supporting local news organization.
What they should have reported and what people should understand is that in this case, the victims were attacked because of the perpetrator’s religion and/or beliefs but courage among so-called journalism “professionals” is in short supply.
