Either they have REALLY, REALLY stupid police in Minneapolis or REALLY, REALLY stupid headline writers.
“Police stumped over motive of mall attacker who spoke of ‘Allah’ and asked victims if Muslim”
I do not think the police are ‘stumped’ at all. This is code talk early after the event. It is likely more a case of wanting to finish interviewing many of the people who were at the mall last night. I do understand this, as all it would take is just one person saying he/she heard ‘Allah’ spoken by the perp, and group think can become contagious.
That being said, I have no doubt that it will come out that this man was a Somali Muslim. Already around midnight, the local newspaper website had a statement by a local Somali leader about the event. expressing his regrets.
As far as I am concerned, the problem we are having is all due to selfish politicians who are little for the welfare of our citizens. People like Hillary call us all sorts of names, but cover up the bad behavior of Muslim immigrants. Are all Muslims guilty? No, but the totality of the problems within this community ought to elicit some common sense from our leaders instead of suicidal decisions.
St. Cloud isn’t that far from Mpls... and the closer you get to tall buildings the more politically correct people become. Large Somali community there. End result will be a few more votes for Trump!
