Full title: Police stumped over motive of mall attacker who spoke of ‘Allah’ and asked victims if they were Muslim before attacking them

OK, I get it. Police don’t want to jump to conclusions in high profile cases. But can police authorities please stop insulting the public when a Muslim starts attacking random strangers while yelling about Allah? The latest example of studied ignorance comes from St. Cloud, Minnesota, the thriving metropolis of Central Minnesota. From the St. Cloud Times:

Eight people were injured and the suspect died at Crossroads Center on Saturday after an attack reported about 8:15 p.m.

St. Cloud Police Chief Blair Anderson said the victims were stabbed by a man dressed in a private security uniform.

An off-duty police officer from another jurisdiction shot and killed the attacker, Anderson said. Anderson did not say where that officer serves during the news conference that started after midnight.

"Anderson said the attacker, who was armed with a knife, reportedly made references to Allah during the attack and asked at least one person whether they were Muslim. But Anderson pointedly declined to call the attacks an act of terrorism, saying the motive isn't yet known."

Any police officer who ever says publicly that Muslim extremism is the motive behind an attack will immediately be fired.

That is why we continue to get these clueless statements to the media.

People get the government they deserve. You vote for communists who put foreigners ahead of citizens, you’re going to keep getting incidents like these.

Either they have REALLY, REALLY stupid police in Minneapolis or REALLY, REALLY stupid headline writers.

[MNDude]

I read it was two attackers.

[Nextrush]

There will be no use of the “T” word between now and November 8th and if Hillary Clinton wins, there will continue to be no use of the “T” word by the media and or government officials.

Everybody should carry

[Lurkinanloomin]

Islam must be protected.
There would be more resistance to importing muslims if people get the idea that muslims are religiously obligated to kill the rest of us.

[BuffaloJack]

Everybody > Everyone should carry.
EXACTLY !!!

[Strac6]

Anyone who cannot understand that, like the dozens (if not hundreds) of similar attacks, the purpose was to kill non-Muslims, as mandated by the Koran, and spread terror, they should not be allowed to cross busy streets without a parent present.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Yep.

If someone was wearing a small cross and did this, all Christians would be held accountable in a NY minute.

[libstripper]

I’ve made very few visits to my nearest mall, intend to make fewer, and WILL CARRY at all times henceforth.

"There would be more resistance to importing muslims if people get the idea FACT that muslims are religiously obligated COMMANDED BY THE KORAN to kill the rest of us."

Fixed it for ya....

Seems to me this should be filed in the folder titled “elementary mr Watson.

The West is simply too weak and stupid to survive the Muslim onslaught that is currently underway. We’ve even invited it into our own neighborhoods because of some kind of sick guilt complex.

[LostPassword]

You’d have to be deplorable to be able to deduce the motive from these facts.

I’m happy to be a deplorable since it seems to mean “not an idiot”.

[politicianslie]

You vote for communists who put foreigners ahead of citizens, you’re going to keep getting incidents like these.

Voted for communists? How about voted for a Muslim who was raised in a Muslim country, was listed as a Muslim on his school records, said he would side with the Muslims.....

The President of the United States is far too powerful. He can prevent a felon of from being indicted so this person can run for President. He can illegally give money and arm foreign terrorists and it apparently can't be stopped.

And America's FIRST Muslim President can prevent the news media from telling the truth about domestic Muslim terrorists who kill American citizens.

Why did Hussein lie about Benghazi? To protect the Muslims of course.

The fact that American citizens still believe what the presstitutes say is another problem. The POTUS is a Muslim terrorists hiding behind the Demonrat's communist agenda. Hussein doesn't care about health care for example. Hussein endorsed health care because it is bad for the US economy..... Same for the global warming silliness.

[SIRTRIS]

>>>Police stumped over motive of mall attacker...

Man, just plain lame! The koran is a battle plan against the non-believer, READ IT!!! And stop being spoonfeed by muslims islam is all peace.

Could have been a knife salesman doing a product demonstration.

[MNnice]

I’m one of over 250,000 people in Minnesota who has a permit to carry, and I carry even in shopping malls that have “No Guns Allowed” signs displayed. Screw them. Anyway, I’m betting the citizen who shot the perp was not an “off duty cop” but simply a citizen. The police and the press here loath the idea that armed citizens is the answer.
